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!

When I built the garage I did not want or have room for a bench along a wall so bought a work bench from Costco It is big and on nice industrial size wheels so I can move it to where I am working. Then I needed a place for my vice etc so Russ took me down to where his son works and I scrounged an old dump truck brake drum from the scrap heap,used it for a base for my new work stand.

Then I drilled holes and welded nuts under  for all my different tools,now I can wheel the stand around like an OXY bottle ,take it outside where I can beat on things,grind etc. Very happy with it and it only takes up a little space.
