Large magneto cast in bronze--pattern by Jorge Ehrenwald of Mexico--graces the off side

The exhaust stacks protrude through the hood and are removable so that the hood
can be operated.

Passenger area is an oil tank; this rear tire is near the end of its useful life. Solid resin wheels
from Brian Yingling of Texas. RR logo is hand-painted by the Elves--in a hurry.

That seat looks hot! With the oil tank right next to it, it would be!
