OK, I received this today, no note, no idea who it came from.

But DAMN! Thanks, whoever your are!!!

This should be a blast to put together, and I will show it here, after Christmas!

Jim,

I have no idea who sent you this wonderful present. I know you'll enjoy putting it together.

One word of mechanical advice: Although it's a one-half scale model, do not use a one-half inch drive torque wrench on the rod bolts, main caps, or cylinder heads! :roll:

Knowing Jim, I have no doubt he'll figure out how to have it actually running, just need to find a source for "plastic safe" gas!! :lol:

Time will get it done, though my Vespa project is the priority right now.

PS, What surprise shiny gift did you get this year?

LONG after Christmas, I finally started/finished it. Took about 3 hours, and I am very impressed by the instructions!

Even came with a timing tool!

Engine was pretty accurate.

Trans was too!

It even shifted like it should.

Overall a very cool toy. It will make a nice addition to my collection.

Even the valves and spark plugs worked as advertised.
