Very cool.... no hot.... lol

The best part is he is absolutely loving every minute of it, his attitude and smile say it all.

Bought me one of these welders. Not sure why because I can't weld. The only welding I've ever done was nearly 50 years ago when I built two wood heaters with the help of a friend. Maybe it'll come back to me.

Packard V-12 that was used in WW-II to power PT boats....no wonder I always liked the way McHale's boat sounded.

You should go to New Orleans and see PT-305. Fully restored WWII PT. It was in the Mediterranean around Italy. They had 3 of those engines. We were fortunate enough to be there when they ran them. You can go out on it but pretty pricey.

We get a B17 now and then once in a blue moon. Its a few hundred for a ride. Fuel burn on those things is really pricey by the hour. But the People pay 500 dollars each to get a ride around the airport in the air so its a money maker for them.

Why Trucking has not billed that much to haul a single box of anything in a partly loaded trailer I'll never understand.

In today's world of nut crushing nuetering emissions and electric crap, having a Wasp Major or perhaps a Pratt and Whitney cough to life roaring with horses and all the associated fumes etc to go with it while warming up is a good day to be alive. Its not warmed up yet until you hear literal music from those old engines. Otherwise they are too cold yet to go and sit for a few minutes until the bad noises settle down into something musical with power.

You will do well to pop a set of ear muffs on the children aboard. When those superchargers howl at take off throttle their ears cannot take it. But its a ride that they will NEVER forget.
