Projects Building My First Roadster in San Francisco

Far out man!

 

Dude, congrats! That is so awesome! I'm ordering my copy...

 

Love your street photos

 

Pretty cool Joey U.
Come on, fess up dude, did you try the buffalo stew at Tommy's Joynt yet? Have you been over to Swan oyster depot on Polk yet?
Just on those two classic establishments alone, you can write some cool stories of your experiences there!
Even better with your car pictured with those two cool places!
Your car looks great at Tommy's with the lights on!
Perfection cannot be rushed!

 

Congratulations on the new magazine, looking forward to reading the article. The car looks great on the street at night! How can you leave it to go inside and eat? Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean someone won't screw with your car.

 

Congrats on the new gig and the rag I love the turkey sand at TJ’s
Good park job too if you don’t cut those meats away to prevent run away it is a big time fine

 

run the 12v to a relay that can send out 6v when activated...

 

Ate a lot of sandwich’s at Tommy’s joint, glad to see they’re still in business

 

Looks like he's parked pointing uphill, so they're right.

 

You won't say that when you're old enough to have old man skin and you have to prune one. You'll give enough blood for a small blood drive.

 

“Thank you! Sometimes I'm surprised to see a Model A parked out on the street and I have to take a picture.”

they say if you park it and walk away with out turning back to take another look you have the wrong vehicle haha.

“Thank you! Let me know what you think! I'm working very hard not to be paranoid about it. I feel like once I get the top on there, I'll feel more comfortable with having it sitting out. Usually the places I park are fairly safe!”

I always remind myself of the 8 trillion motorcycles, Jeep’s with the doors off and convertibles with the top, well even if it was up, that people would want to walk away with before messing with some stinky old car.

I still pay a lot of attention to where I park though. Better an ounce of prevention and all

 

Prickly bastards I take it...

 

Right up there with pyracantha on the mainland or kiawe over on Hawaii.

 

Wait until one of your "friends" crosses a couple of your plug wires and then hides with a camera, waiting for you to come back to the car!

 

Friends wouldn't do that.

 

You haven't met my "friends"

 

Four "friends" left two of us in Clayton CA to walk home about 4 miles at night on Halloween. It was our junior year in high school. Almost a year later Ted & I left the other four at the Rheem Theater in Moraga about 15 miles from home. It was the 60s and no cell phones. Friendship is a funny thing. Out of that group Ted and I are the only two left. He who laughs last............

 

Some of my "FRIENDS"seem to think it is funny! You wouldn't believe how hard it is to remember the firing order when you you restart your car and suddenly it starts to run badly for no apparent reason, there is a crowd forming . Some of them ( who by the way know what is wrong) are making suggestions , like "time for a small block" and " sounds like a broken crankshaft , to me"..... I guess it is funny from their point of view.

 

If that were me people would be bleeding shortly.

 

They pay the price! It was a long time ago but this is the guy they all still come to for tuning, and other maintenance on their older cars.

 

good to see you're driving the roaster. They're meant to be driven! It's a CAR!

 

Yeah, have you ever heard a Corvair run on one cylinder?

 

I wish I could like this more then once!! No point having these cars if you don’t drive them!!

Joey, the car is awesome, keep it up.

 

The first time we fired my son's '54 Stude Wagon we reversed the plug wires. It uses the same cap as a '55 Chevy but the distributer rotates in the opposite direction. It was doing fine on #1.

 

I would do that trip in your roadster at the drop of a hat! Summertime, USA, Route 66, who cares if a two week trip takes six weeks? Those stories wouldn't be hiding, you would be making them happen!
Just put the word out on the HAMB , and you are on your way , see what unfolds!
Just remember oil change and service every 500 miles...https://modelagarage.com/lubrication/
You must be getting close to that first (500 miles) oil change already Joey?
