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!

Fords and Friends

Here is a custom Truck.

Talk about BUMPERS!

Another Lincoln Zephyr, Last week I showed a roadster style.

This a Coupe!

 Have to check what year they are.

Oldtimers Port Angeles

Here is a 1935 Ute. Some Utes from Australia where coupe style but some Roadster cowls were made,about 400 I am told. These bodies are usually beat to death.Those long straight sides are nice!

This Merc is very rare! When I lived in New Zealand I saw a Ford but no Mercs. One style I liked was the 49-52 and the 53-54 body style.

This Merc has been converted to Left hand drive,A lot easier than getting a Left hand and taking down South and converting to RH drive.

How about this? Lots of work done here!

These four door converts are so nice.

Some nosy old guy looking at the jag rear suspension ,Same as I have  in my truck.

I Like this front with the Nostrils closed in.

 That is what I have done and used a 48 Car hood ornament. Of course the Merc grill.

Nice wheels

Pat has or had a set of Jumbos  five wheels,4 new caps and a original spare tire cover

Included Also a photo of Doug Clems  B400,he drives it everywhere!

Bill,s 37 half ton

Bill and Nils came for a visit. Best looking 37 I,v ever seen!

276 inch flathead.he has a Crower cam in it,not sure which grind but does it sound great!

How about these tapered tail light mounts? Hollow by the way!

Bumper irons do not pass through the lower fender!

So Nice!

Down town Havana.

Cuba Si.
How about this gal! Big Cigar.

 Best Idea I have seen for a cannon!

 Havana has beautiful  Architecture! But because the citizens can not get any paint or do not have any Peso,s they do not make any improvments. What a shame!

Cuba SI

 This is Revolution Square. Fidel and Che.  Interesting that there is nothing for sale  of Fidel? Absolutely nothing! It is like he never was there. Lots of Che ,He seems to be Idolized?

 I have never seen so many 49 Plymouth ribbed bumpers! Man oh man I looked all over to get two for my truck project.

Seems like 49-52 Dodge and Plymouth held up well? Lots of 49-52 Chevs but very few Fords, Like hardly any?

There are more convertables in Havana than any where. Out in the Boonies and on the dirt roads are lots of old Mopar products.
