It is the name of the engine rebuilding outfit which is located on a shelf in a bookcase in my basement.

I can't say I've ever seen a scale slant 6 look quite as good as that one in your picture. One slightly off-topic question, the two machines to the left of the doorway in this picture what are they and where did you get them? The backgrounds in your pictures are almost as good as the engines themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to scratch built scale equipment that looks that good, I think you should probably start another thread just for the equipment you've built to post close-up pictures of those as well. Those look really good and maybe I'm the only tool and equipment nut around here but I'd like to see close-ups of the machines too. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyjohnxx Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I, for one, would like to see more pictures of the forklift. I have been accused of having a forklift fetish because of my 20 or so 1/25 lift trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
