KEITH AND TOM,
That Engine looks fast just sitting there. Looks like a mini OTTS there, but of course you guys could have a daily SUMMIT.

The 1688's are a fine running engine,You can run them for a long time and they never get hot plus there's no electronics to go bad. This particular 1688 was restored using automotive charcoal grey paint,reproduction drive wheels,and the pilot and rear wheels are reproductions. The marker lights,handrails,and nameplates are all original parts. If anyone has a 1688 that needs work .Just let me know. As for the Corvair.ooohhhh well What can I say about that .? When Jim Duda sees it he'll probably[:P][:P][:P] over it [;)][:)] and say " Gee it looks like the one I used to have." I think the Corvair did double duty as a Bar-B-Q also. So,it had quite a life of its own.[:)] Have a nice day everyone........Keith
