That's a great video! And, I actually think the music is very fitting. Thanks for sharing! BTW, I'm glad I found a link to your blog about the Model A. It has made for a great Saturday morning of reading.

Fascinating engine. I assume the brass cyclinder is the fuel tank, and the copper cyclinder behind the seat acts like a radiator ?. The brass knob under the seat at the front adjusts what ? I would like to email you with a drawing that I don't fully understand . Here's hoping . Laurie.
