You have all the cool ideas :D,

what is the bottle between lights and radiator? (drivers side)

That is a cool idea!! :lol:

I'd guess maybe the bottle is an overflow bottle for the radiator. I want to know about the oil filter setup, though! Is the oil system one system for both engines??

Yes, That bottle is an overflow. It's from the '28 Lincoln "Gangbusters" kit. There's a whole sprue of them.

Oil....... c'mon, this is imagineering at work !!!!

I did not recast or re-machine any of the inside of the plastic engine halves. This is merely a piece of copper wire to show a little continuity. I can imagine that both of the engines share a common oil filter. Anal accuracy is not my forte'. I really don't care if I insult the laws of physics either. This constitutes the 'fun' in my modeling.

I was not knocking it at all!! It's a nice unique idea for a unique build! I though maybe you had them connected, since I only seen the one filter.

Wow, I dunno for sure, Chuck.

I thought they might be the small blocks that come with the older 32 three window coupes. Mostly because I had two of them in virgin condition.

Maybe some one more knowledgeable can tell from these early in the build fotos of the blocks before I cobbled them up.

Geezerman,

Don't know if it would run in the real world, don't care neither. I just know it is cool, and to me the cool is what makes life....and models.....well, cool.

Enjoy your work, please make next one with THREE engines just to see what it looks like. Thanks for posting and making a cool ride!!

Mike
