What do you do, when a buddy gives you a free can of blue paint?
I also had a little red and yellow spray can paint left over from another project, so that got used up too.

Thanks guys, it's even fooling people driving past.
One guy stopped yesterday, while I was brush painting the plug leeds blue, and asked if I was building it for the Street. I could tell he had no idea it had no chassis.
Now that I've painted over the rust, people have no idea, but the rust will come through the paint soon enough.
I'm starting to think it's to flash, and I may move it into the back yard, where no one will see it, cept me and friends.

Well my time on this thing is almost over, I'm moving, so it's Gotter go.
So........ what to do with it.........
Build the Damn V12, that's what!
I made a start a few days ago, and keep forgetting to take pics.
Got a little carried away with the size of the block, it's big, and it has to be strong to support the weight of the heads.
I get pics up in the next day or so.
Then I'm going to try and sell the whole thing.

My mate dropped the head in last night, so I cleaned it up, and gave it a little rattle can red.
Trying to bolt these things to the wooden block was entertaining. I've got it balanced, but it's not real secure, so I'll have to figure that out.
I'm thinking I'll make plates to bock off the inlet and outlet ports on the outsides of the heads, and only put exhaust pipes on outside.
I'll make up some sort of valley manifold for carburetors.
