Elmers #13

[compressor man]

I have never before seen one of these built so I decided to try it. Plus I love twins. Sorry I did not take picures earlier in the build but here it is as it now stands. The crank and base assembly is finished and assembled for the last time (I hope!!). Much of the rest is built but needs polishing. Yes the cylinders are rusty on the outside, they will get a coat of paint. I still need to build the valves, pistons, and the flywheel.

Nice build you got going there. Always wanted to hear this particular engine of Elmer's run.

Things are really starting to come together on this engine. You might be able to see that the bulk of it is complete and polished. I have a little work to do on the head before it is installed. The valves and valve guides have yet to be made, and the flywheel has not been started. I am kind of dreading working on that big piece (3 1/4" d) of steel. Working with brass and aluminum can spoil a guy real fast!!
