A little cleaner....


And.... thinking of adding wood around and under the base plate.


(The wood you see here is from another project)

Looking better every time  8)  A wood base would really help finish this one off, doesn't look right without it

I agree, the wood base really sets it off, this is really cleaning up well & is a lovely engine, I always enjoy a neglected but well built engine/plant being given back its former glory by someone with the exact right skills to do so, it is a joy for me to watch. great job on this one Gil !

Yes, it is... and.....

The work I have done so far is worth way more than I paid for it!
