That's disgusting, they could have ,at least, put a nice radius on the corners, maybe some decorative scrolling and a nice pecan stain
That's what the

For today's contribution I give you a corkscrewed carburetor slo-jet. This happens when you ignore or forget the placement of the jets in your early '70s Aisan carb in an effort to get a larger jet than stock into the shallow primary bore. There's a reason they made the hole shallower: SO YOU WOULDN'T DO THIS!!!
That deserves a, WOW!
The best (of worst I've seen) was a SBC that had two small triangles of 1/4" steel bolted to the front of a SBC to connect it to the frame. If one of the 5/16" grade 5 bolts broke the engine would fall out.
Don't do it... at least use a saddle mount.

Natural products, like tar impregnated paper, asbestos and leather were used as gaskets and seals up until the 1950s. Although the plastic, Bakelite, was invented in 1907, it was too expensive and was used for more valuable applications like jewelry and appliances.
1911
chupacabra
My grand dad told a story of fixing either a model T or A rod bearing with shoe leather. I'm not sure of its longevity, but it seems like it was commonly done as a field repair.
The original bearings were poured Babbitt and when they went out they were often replaced with leather. Replaceable Babbitt bearings came in in the late 20s I think and were common after the 50s. The funny thing is how much jewelry was made from Bakelite in the 1920s. It was new and cool.

Fan belts were leather back then.
Bakelite is a trademark for a thermoset phenolic resin composite. The phenolic composites still have many uses.
When they were still making aluminum on a limited production basis its price per ounce was higher than gold.
