When I bought a John Deere tractor the dealer proudly tells me the entire hood panel is made from a plant-based material. I think it was soybeans. It’s practically impossible to dent it.
It’s a one-ton, son.
Love this. I built a full-house flathead for my ‘51 Ford. They sound great.
Yes there’s water jackets in the head, but since that open side of engine isn’t producing any heat to speak of, no need for cooling. No need for oiling up top either with valves in block.
No oil or water needed on the open side of the engine. Valve-in-block design doesn’t any oil up top.

LOL no doubt. I read about this a long time ago, and was always fascinated by the thought of WWI fighter pilots firing bullets that are literally hitting the prop. I think it actually caused at least one crash IIRC.
The British were first to mount forward-firing guns on the upper wing — shooting over the propeller. But that made aiming hard, and it put the guns out of the pilot’s easy reach when they jammed. The French took the next step. They put metal deflectors on the propeller so the pilot could fire straight through the…
HAHA I will! It’s a steel coupe, not exactly common. A guy I know saved one in much worse condition, literally pulled it from a river bank. If you don’t understand the craftsmanship and talent and pride in creating something beautiful from a rusty scrap pile I’m guessing a large portion of this hobby is leaving you…
Please. This is my current project as-discovered:
My 454 in a 1/2ton 77, which is not the heavy crew cab dually showing up in your numbers, still only got 10mpg. Making your case worse here bud.
