    Inside doesn't look bad at all, newer copper gaskets, no lip and clean cylinders. The crank has been sweaty for a long while. It still will NOT spin!
    Broke the crank handle trying. KIMG0816.JPG KIMG0815.JPG KIMG0814.JPG

    Not much happening on the cranberry coupe lately. Been working a ton of hours but am still gathering parts. I have a plan and I should have a bunch of updates soon

    Gotta love it. Rust, patches, and bit's of this and that. A real Frankenstein. Another New England build.
    Good Luck!
