Truck coming together!

Got some paint on it! I did not do the top of the cab and the doors because I am now starting on the power windows and auto locks for the doors. I will be chasing the doors around on saw horses so no need to scratch them up.

 The 49 Plymouth Bumpers  chrome was shot and with all the butchering I did  Paint was the best way to finish it off,Besides I am a cheap skate and chrome these day is Nuts in price!

 Made the sun visor from a beat up stock 49 hood and made a leading edge folded over and spot weld every 1 1/2 inch  like stock Ford. The holes are my idea.

 47 car hood ornament from Roger and a 47  small V8  that Pete gave me. Thanks guys! The Truch hood has the same curve as the car and with the truck holes filled in I like it.

 The sun visor is just about done and to avoid scratching the cab top when I was fitting it I left it in primer. Now will use nutserts and crown head straight "slot"  5/16 screws in the cab and it will look like the Factory did it! But with the crowd I run with they will know it is bogus! But some might think it is a factory option. I do not like the big ugly attach brackets on the rain gutters.

Not sure what the doors will have lettered but they will one  or the other of these.

Bit of a rake but not much different from stock.

I am not a real fan of super low,more or less like this.

Normandy Beach Race France

Great looking spectators! 

Keep your head down  near this one!

Stole these off the Web! Thanks to who sent them.

Normandy France. Next to the Belgium Border.

 We spent some time there this Spring but never got to the site,close but no cigar! We went to Bayeux to see the Tapestry instead. But want to return and spend more time there.

 Lots of ferrys from The UK dock there and Cherbourg is not far to drive. It is so neat that there are more sand races happening!

More Camping.

We are getting a lot of use out of this, And to think I was planning on selling it?

Canada Day in Victoria

We had a Great time today.

As the day moved on we had hundreds of people stopping and asking questions.

First question. "Can you sleep in here?"

 Answer "Yes it is eight feet long"
Or  "MY Grandfather had one of these"

 Well my Grand Kids will also be able to say that as We will take them camping this summer.

Model B with a McCulloch

Here is a 39M style  McCulloch. one of the last style before they started making  Drone and aircraft aux power plant engines for the second World war. They made a ton of them 2 cyl about 30 hp. They used them as Aux power plants for Aircraft as a ground power unit  installed in the Airplane.

So that systems could be run without  the mains running and burning off valuable fuel.

And here is mine same as on the Model B four CYL above

Consider that the McColloch was designed for a 39 Merc  and Ford at 221 or 239 cu inches the 200 Model B should fly!

This is an early style which uses the original Ford intake. The later 39M had a McCulloch supplied intake. Much easier to get the belt tension right.

Notice the gen is driven off the back of the drive gears as the early 36 style heads had the water pumps on the heads and no room for a generator so they put on the back.

These early style were only for 36 and before as 37 had the center outlet and low waterpumps as part of the engine mount.

I like the tach drive off the gen bearing support end.
Might take some time to get the ratio  sorted out to indicate crank speed?

Always liked this car with a Scott Blower.

Tight fit what with the Harmons and Collins Mag out front!
