Topsy Turvy Hit & Miss

[Harold Lee]

I have completed my Phil Duclos designed Topsy Turvy. It is a one inch bore and a two inch stroke water cooled engine. The plans were taken from the book "Two Shop Masters" from Village Press. The build in documented in the work in progress section as well as two videos of it running. The following is a series of photos of the engine.

Thank all of you again for your compliments and encouragement. As I mentioned when I posted the finished pictures, I would post a video of it running after I put the "lipstick & mascara" on it. Here is a link to that video.

Than all of you again for your comments and compliments. I really enjoyed building it.

Yes it is the Rusoleum Hammered paint. Here is a link to the product I used.

I bought it in the local Lowe's store.

The paint is sprayed on and then baked in my wife's oven at the lowest setting 175 degrees F. One word of caution here. Make sure the spouse is in town on a shopping trip or it can mean I have to move outside to the doghouse.
