Christmas and Santa.

I need more room.

I definitely need more room!

Someone once said a clean desk is a sign of a sick mind? Wonder if that also applies to a guys workshop?

What the HEH I am happy!

Here is a closer view of The hood ornament I got from Roger.and the little Ford Deluxe ornament I mooched off of Pete.

I like the look of the hood openings filled in.

Next time I see a 51/52 I will look to see if they came stock with it filled 

Kind of looks like a passenger car hood now.

Filled hood

I Filled the hood nostrils.

 so will use a hood release from a 2005 Blazer with the lock,safety release and cable.

Also have a 47 Ford car hood ornament and a 48 super deluxe badge.

Door art

I have a spare truck door so went for some door art.

I will hang it on the wall.

Shop Truck

Found this the other day. This would be an eye catcher for sure.

Never seen a sun visor on one.
Tap the photo for full size.

Old Car Beautifull Ladies!

We drove the Hot Rod to the Victoria Golf Club for a Golf  Club sponsored fund raiser.

The Hot Rod was on a Calendar to help raise funds

Check out a video of my car as featured on a local news series.

Here are some more

The Edelbrock group were here in a big way also as a sponsor. Nice red shirts for all the Volunteers very nice.

The woodies were just beautiful The 50 Merc was real special!

Deuce Day is over!

WHAT A GREAT TIME!!
I drove down a back entrance and there was a spot on a corner under a tree.
Perfect for an old boy like me ,not to sunny.

Don Audels woody roadster,spoke with him and he did this about 20 years ago.

Fancy Wheels

Pal Jimmy  has 39 two door Deluxe. He is using these wheels and has a set of caps that are just beautiful! So had to take a photo for him.

Now these are 36-39 wide five with the old cut out drums! Hyd inners. They look terrific! never sen that done like that before. Might be touchy when it rains.

Pal Jim came to visit,here are some examples of his art work!

 This one is a proposed look of what I am putting together. 49 Plymouth bumpers,46 car hood ornament,Merc grill.

37 is a cab cut by an old friend from years ago Lamont Brooks. Chopped a bit,not much but nice.

This one I really like!

Here is a 32 painted in the same scheme as our teardrop.

Like the Paint scheme of a Gee Bee racer. "Granville Brothers built a couple of these. 

And here is the 2016 AMBR winner, he drove here from Southern California.
If anyone deserves that award he does!

Here is Lens coupe and his touring,the T has independent front and rear,must ride a whole lot better than that old buggy of mine!

We were are a Cadillac show and was speaking with a couple of owners. They have repainted the center emblems and told me how they did it. Sound like a good way so I will do mine for the truck,as I have 18 of them I can select the best and go for it.

Getting it all polished up. Deuce Day in a few weeks.

I replaced my ignition with a rebuilt one and am using Autolite plugs p/n 437. They are a bit longer than the Champion H10 so are further into the combustion chamber. Throttle response is Great!
Also bought a Bosch coil  so hope it all works out.
Now I will jack it up take the wheels and drums off and check the works. Been about 10 years since I have had the drums off. About time I would say!
