Hilarious. Always hesitant to answer that question depending on the audience! Great catch. Yep, I did custom frame building for a few years. Smile

I like your bug and tool set up!

FYI, when transporting my assembled engine this way the only damage I incurred was that one of the shells on the heat exchangers was knocked loose. It was held firm by a only a few small ugly spot welds, which were easily repaired. But it rattled quite a bit at certain rpms before I re-welded it.
