Yes definitely. But the melted plastic and that muffler (what the hells going on there) really tie it all together. I strongly believe if your going to have an ugly saw go all out.
You got some wood close by to knock?
My first frankensaw was an old 064 my buddy bought new and ran the dog piss out of before stripping it for parts when it had served it purpose, all that was left was the crankcase abs a beat up fuel tank. I inherited it when he passed along with a bunch of other picked over parts, I kinda felt a connection to him as I was tinkering with it. Took me about 2 months to get a working saw outa what was left, but I got er done and I still use it for my bigger stuff today, I’ll see if I can find a good pic of it. For the record, his saws didn’t get worn out in the usual sense, they usually ended up getting squished by his dozer-loader, but that’s a whole story in itself. Sure miss that man.
In the process, I developed CAD, and the rest is history.
