Nice, but isn't the generator rear cover on upside down? Sorry, couldn't resist.

I love those little motors but at $450 here in NZ I can do a lot of machining on a real one.Nice pressy though.Cheers Tony.

I believe I saw that model in kit form at Hobby Lobby for around 25.00 bucks! It was a metal kit with plastic parts.

Scott, I have one just like that a friend brought to me a few week ago, bought at Marden's, it's in my shop on a shefe just over my parts wash tank. I could have showed it to you last week but forgot it. The friend that got it for me is restoring a 38 std 2dr, I built the engine, you talk about a beauty of a car, the black paint must be 6in. thick. Every piece of chrome and stainless on the car is better than new. Walt

Walt I did see that flathead model and when my friend showed up and gave me that one I was stoked:D Got to get up to see that 38 this spring and put together some more Flatheads!!

Yes it does have the "bubba's" sticker and I may trade it up for a crab:rolleyes:
