A pic of my yard art piece that I " cobbled" together in between customers over the past few days. Didn't cost a dime, just bits and pieces laying around . From the cylinder ,which was my overhead garage door spring until it broke last Sat, to the gas tank which was a chainlink fence post. A wheel cylinder carb , electric motor parts for side cases and a candle holder for the headlight. Leftover deck stain gave it that " pickers" patina. Now if it would only fire up, I'd put on my leather skull cap and goggles and roar around the board track.
A real Windsor spitfire.......lol......and how many cc's is it, and what fuel will it burn? wonder how many people you can sell it to......
That thing is way cool!
That's pretty cool, Cochise. I had never thought of putting something like that for a "fake" motor. I like it.....
(EDIT)
Better chain that thing up..... Somebody will steal it in the dark..... it looks close enough to the real mc coy....
I'll bet you could really do a lot using my bicycle as a starting point!

Every thing old is new again....Here's a couple of Indians from the teens. I have no idea what #2 is...it was just weird. It took me a while to figure out what the last one was....and I was looking at it quite closely...see if you know, or can guess....all I'll say is it's European
Not much of a clue Troll, Europe covers a lot of real estate. If it took 'you' awhile it must be tough. That is one strange cylinder design.I'm going with a British make , Triumph ( because of the oval side case) Ariel , or something obscure like a Beadmore because of the one spark plug .

Good catch... it's a turnip
