1910 Olds Type A

[Gearsguy]

Finished this in October 2011. Made from my own patterns and plans. Build time was about 6 months on and off. Flywheels are cast iron and were done at a regular foundry. The rest are aluminum and were done in my own backyard foundry.

Very nice, and your own castings. So is that load banging every so often typical "hit n miss" or is it "miss n hit" (occasionally)

I do like it

That is truly impressive!

I would love to see some pics of your casting process and the machining process if you have them. I hope to cast some of my own parts some day, but I haven't even dreamed of something that complicated yet.

Very impressive. Post up some build photos; this is deserving of Project of the Month.
