        Here's my entry for the Deuce celebration. Dan and I started working on the protoype for this V-12 Flathead a while back. He mocked up the head and cast a few in resin Hot Rod Lincoln for me to work with. When the engine is complete he will cast it and make it available as a kit.

        Photo of the top side of the head...I still need to add a water neck to the front.



        Bottom side of the head.



        This is a comparision shot...Top is the R/M kit v-8 Flathead.....center is Dan's metal pre-drilled Flathead with acorn nuts.....bottom is the resin Hot Rod Lincoln V-12 head.

      Original rough mock-ups for the pan and block. Now that I have the sizes and fit sorted out I can start on the finished pieces....havin' fun now, love scratch building but hate the arithmetic.

      This is a drawing of a Deusenburg.....my Deuce body will be built along these lines. Might stretch it and go with a dual cowl.....not sure yet.

      Great concept especially if you put in the exhaust like the Duesy. Hey, you can call it a Deusy Deuce.

      Outstanding work!

      Two questions (one more in the realm of wise-arse observation):

      Did anyone ever make finned heads for the Lincoln engine back in the day?

      And wasn't Commander Cody's original Hot Hot Rod Lincoln Rod Lincoln a V8 ("It's got eight cylinders and uses 'em all, 'sgot overdrive, just won't stall..." (never understood that part))
