<VV> Corvair/Engine test stands

[J R Read_HML]

A friend built a rather neat stand out of two wooden wheelbarrow kits, by 
sort of melding them together.  It has two tires, a place to park a gas can 
and a battery.  One person can easily move it around the garage even when 
fully loaded.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.
