Cox model airplane fuel in a Lawnboy mower, circa 1968. Pretty impressive to a couple of 12 yr olds!

Someplace on Youtube there is a video of a retired machinist from Carl Junction, MO (near Joplin) who built an operational scale model Duesenberg.  Took something like 10 or 12 years.  Forget the scale, maybe 1/6 or 1/8, but he went to Jay Leno's garage to get measurements, etc., and hand built everything, including the engine, which I believe was a straight 8.  Video shows him running it briefly on propane or CNG, only ran it briefly because the cooling system wasn't hooked up on his test bench.  Amazing handiwork!
