      This is a 1940 Elto Handitwin that’s been sitting in the back of my garage for over 30 years. Recently, I decided to get it running (youtube.com/shorts/QG_82x0OUrQ) and then fix it up. Some of the parts were hand polished, some of them were powder coated (Prismatic Powders Super Chrome Plus), and the rest were painted (VHT Satin Gray/Silver SP995 Engine Enamel). The stand was made from sapele and ash. I’m currently restoring a 1936 Ford pickup, and I’ll place the motor in the bed for shows.

        Very Nice! That will make a nice display along side the Ford.
        Hope to see a photo of both together some day!

        Prepare to be boarded!
