Spent a couple of days at my favorite event, the local antique engine/tractor/old junk show. Three days of old iron and rust. Pictrues are of a couple of interesting items. The steam tractor was built by the owners gradfather who was a boiler maker. The little jeep was just neat. I have a 47 willy and this looked like its little brother. Excelent craftmanship. Was a great weekend, highly recomended to anyone close enough to come.





Old doesn't bother me, its the ugly that's a real bummer.

The gentleman seen in the background told me a friend of his built it from scratch, machined the hub from bar stock to look like the origionals. I think it is one of the best scale downs I have ever seen. A retired college professor at the show had several scaled down hit and miss engines and a radial aircraft engine he machined from scratch, as a mold designer/builder I have a lot of admiration for this level of fabrication.
