So, figuring that this is a "fabricator" award, the trophy is hand fabricated by me!
Think back in your early days learning automotive stuff. What did we all wind up doing at some point in shop class? Yep, disassemble a lawnmower engine. While the auto shop teacher was yelling across the hall at the woodshop teacher, I was busy trying to figure out how this contraption worked. Since so many of us started on these engines, I decided to make the award from lawn mower engine parts. Enter my old trusty LawnMachine 6100 Mowmaster. Years of no oil changes resulted in it not wanting to start for whatever weird reason.
So it's the perfect parts palette for the award.
Parts are out and mock up begins. Pulley base, crankshaft with piston for the top.
Ferrari Rosso Corsa Red in DBC pops on the main shaft and I added pushrod supports on either end. Just waiting on the final plaque for the award title to come in.
The countdown is on!! Of course I had to have Kelly pull out the A12 Bee unveiling dress she wore a few years ago for promo stuff.
See yous guys soon!!
Cheers
Dave
