I thought I would post a few pictures of the 1919 Z2 Henderson that I just finished.

Up till Monday, it still wasn't running. My original goal was to have it running in January, so I could have February reserved for detail work and loafing. Of coarse the valve job took 3 weeks longer than promised and the nickel plating went overdue. I was able to do most everything I needed to do in the waiting period but it always seems like it comes down to a nail biter before Eustis. The reality is, I can only blame myself for this kind of stress. I do all of my own work with the exception of top ends, and plating so budgeting time for the valves and nickel should not have been a problem. Also, I'm not a very good mechanic so it took me an inordinate amount of noodle scratching to figure out the cam timing. Well, the bad stuff is just a memory now (I hope) and it's running great. Off to Eustis tomorrow.

Jurrasic, do you think the nickel is too shiney ?

**c.o.** · 02-26-2009, 06:47 AM

Sorry to chime in on the question but much too shiney for historical accuracy!

Seriously though, what an amazing job. I'm sure it's going to get a lot of attention at Eustis!
