New arrival – “I’ll Just”

[wedgie]

That Light Twin tank is very nice despite , and in a way, because of the dents .

It will be very interesting to see what you do with it Tubs,

The dents, the rope, the silicone RTV,  faded decals and paint…..that stuff is “Patina”……gives the motor “Character”! ….a lot of that is being left on some old cars in that hobby now – just a quick wash and spray clear paint over the whole mess!   Some car clubs have awards for patina on unrestored “survivor” cars.  Maybe AOMCI needs to have a class like that??!! (LOL!).

I try to get every motor running and use them some in the summer. That is the intent for this cub. The OA-55 has more issues than dents in the gas tank and being dirty. It might make it to the lake in 26. I’ll post pictures when I get into it. I also like to detail motors. Some to a higher standard than when new. I have a nice 1953 Mercury Mark-7. It does have some scratches in the paint of the gas tank but the motor is too original to restore. And I have what would be called a “RAT” motor in the car & bike circles. It perfect as is and will never be restored as long as I have it. Here is a video link for those who may be interested and haven’t seen it.  https://youtu.be/lJ6cXeWWi7g

If motors could talk…would they
use salty language to describe those who abused, neglected or
failed to properly maintain them?

Indeed they should!
