While rummaging through the closet searching for an Exacto knife to perform some minor self-inflicted surgery (splinter removal) I was confronted with another of my half-baked projects that never was completed.
As a child, I always wanted to build the “Visible V-8,” a plastic see-through model of what was the standard type of auto engine in those days. Fast-forward 40 years and I purchased the model, thinking it would be a great father-daughter project that would impress my girl with Daddy’s great model-building skills along with the wonders of the internal combustion engine.
