a great project for all us that haul old heavy stuff home.
Bernd:
Well, you need winter projects and then you need summer projects. :D
I have a couple of summer projects lined up so I just want to add one more. :)
Ok, back to the coke bottle engine it is. :thumbup: :headbang:

rleete:
Excerpts from a fake Wiki page that my friends made at the forum where I moderate:
rleete is well known for starting a project every 43 minutes. Unfortunately for those around him, he only completes a project every 3 millenia. Experts predict that by 2012, all of Rochester, New York will be buried in a 35 foot thick pile of refuse originating at the Leete household. Is often heard to utter, "anyone wanna help me build a ...?"
Most Likely Cause of Death: Self-inflicted wounds stemming from a combination of astonishment at actually finishing a project, and twelve square feet of 60 grit sandpaper.
Bernd:
My turn. How about some pictures of your finished engine? :poke: :poke: :poke: :lol:

What finished engine?
Okay, I'll post some pics. Look for a new thread, coming soon. Maybe I'll just assemble it, and finish the polish later.
I can't get the paint on the base to come out decent. It's PVC, so I'm using a plastic paint (which I believe is enamel), and it just isn't turning out well. Sanding is a pain, because it easily gums up the sandpaper. I just about had it where I wanted, and when I turned the can upside down to clear the nozzle, I blasted a bunch of dust onto the surface. Doh!
