New engine build.
We decided to build a verticle with a big flywheel and a engine on the same side powering it.
Sooooo today we got a good start.

Re: New engine build.
Looks like a good project. Do you put any sketches and such on paper first or just build it out of the images in your head? I have to plan it out with scale drawings in order to keep myself in line. But then I have a reputation of not finishing projects. I guess it's true; '41 Mercury coupe that's been on the rotisserie for 5 years, two wood splitters that are about 75% for 2 years and an Ironhead Sportster that I've been piecing back together for 6 years. These are only the big projects and now I'm not able to get around very well due to pain in my left leg. I'll get them done some day.

Re: New engine build.
No drawings, just build as I go or from looking at a picture on the internet of something I like.
I gotta keep busy or I`ll self destruct, and once I start I don`t stop until it`s done.
