Oh yes, I like this a lot.  Is that an Ardun OHV conversion peaking out from under the hood?

Arden who? ...

thanks Gary. This is a one-off proto-what-if . OHV finned ala flathead. Centrifugal supercharger ala liberty air engine

check the build thread ... it explains some

thanks everyone .  I’m glad you enjoyed the pics. 

It took long because I had retina surgery on a detachment . Then had cataracts as an expected side effect from the recovery process. But I got full eyesight back at the end of January . They say you don’t appreciate stuff until you lose it. I can tell ya how much you really appreciate it when ya get it back!

Nice finish on the beast Mike !

Like the race pic ?

 

Thank you Bruce. And thanks for hangin in there with me. 

I’m glad you like the dust ... I found scraping Conte crayons (very hard pastel - like Leonardo used) using sienna, black, and white formed a dust that could be fixed with just about any liquid including plain water and a bit of gum Arabic that can be a washed off

                  you probably figured out where I’m going with this  ...   between your “grime” and my “dust” we could make a mint ?
