Those that differ, are jealous.

working on the engine mount jig , once tubes are welded in the proper place, then I start removing steel parts not needed

Interesting! Care to share your thinking regarding this construction method, vs the wood motorbox? Thanks Roger!

it has t do with scale, but the wood box you see here was just a setup to line up the engine properly, now that it is, I just need to fill in the blanks so to speak. It will be mig welded by my neighbor, he is an expert mig welder.

Thanks Roger. I kinda figured the wood one was temporary. Do you have any idea on the weight of a wood, vs welded tubing motor mount? Of course once it's done I suppose we'll all find out, eh!
