Nice to see the ol Rat Rod again! The 12.5 should give er a little more oomph. Any plans for the 11hp? Just as a spare engine?

Haha, thanks fellas! Yeah the model 25 is under the work bench now with the other spares. It always seemed to have some running issues, but maybe I'll fix it up a bit and use it on another project or something.

Not much progress here lately, but I did remove all the engine tins and the blower shroud in preperation for some paint:
Gonna do the same blue and white paint job I had on the old model 25 as I thought it looked really sharp. Probably gonna clean the block up as well while the tins and stuff are off of it. Should look pretty nice when done.

Ooooooooohhhh. I thought I remembered something like that, couldn't find it though. Now I remember going through some of those videos and that passed by.
