Corvair Engine "Spools" &  "Tray"

3.0

engine

DETAIL:

Built the spools and tray for the engine mount.  Will be ordering some 3/4" .049 steel tube this week to finish up the engine mount. It was my first attempt at gas welding.  Well.... not totally my first attempt as I did do some practice welds for about 30 minutes prior.

It turned out better than I thought it would.  Gas welding is not as hard as I suspected.  I still need to learn more about it, but I do have a tray that is airworthy and straight.
