It's too bad that no one is making a modern engine that looks like one of the originals that is affordable. If anyone here has access to a foundry or a machine shop... get to it already. I will be the first inline to volunteer to design the exterior of the engine.
Sometimes I get an idea when I see something...

exhaust pipes............I have found out if you use an angle grinder with a disc-wire-brush-unit you can get a chrome-like finish with standard steel, and than I added a clearcoat to protect the steel from rust. Off course this does not work with hot exhaust pipes because the clearcoat will burn off...

I already thought about something like this, we have stores with dressed up windows too, old Vespas, bicycles, Harleys, old gas pumps...
But I don't build them for selling or business reasons, it is just a hobby, it keeps me relaxed in my spare time when I work on them. But thanks for the idea and your interest.
