I previously mentioned that I was so impressed with the Matchbox Yesteryears 1913 Cadillac that I decided to disassemble one, strip and repaint it and add more details. I cut open the hood in order to install a miniature engine. Using pictures from the internet, I used brass tubing, small wires and anything else that I could find to reconstruct the engine. The engine is just about finished and I'm currently test fitting it to ensure the hood will still go over it. Here's a few pictures of the engine before I paint the engine parts..
