My old T and my current merc.

 

From rags to riches.

 

Don't count,I don't have a pic!

About what he calls my "Fix Or Repair Daily"
My rod is still powered as I built it in 1959 with V8 Thunderbird "Y".
Two years ago,his SBC died on our way home from a show,an I keep a tow rope for these kind of things!
Towed him home with my "Y"Ford.
His phone dose take pic's, mine dose not ! He would not take any of our trip going home,LOL LOL

 

8/5/21; leaving my ranch headed to paint shop. Painter (Tom) is doing a really nice job body working and prepping for paint. Hope to be at 2022 SK-500 next May.

I like looking at everybody's projects in these pics on this thread. Diamonds in the rough or showpiece pride and joy. They're all great shots.

 

My son towed his father’s project coupe 350kms each way ( 700kms total ), last year so he could have his bride to be, - driven 400 metres - into their wedding venue and then have a couple of photos taken in front of it……
The smokey flathead fordor was the bridesmaids car and was actually driven the whole distance……



and for those wondering what I look like, that’s me tying it back on the trailer……

 

The day it came home....

 

I have Very impure thoughts of that...
Damn... That is $weet!!

 

Towing with my 64 Lincoln back in the mid 70's.

 

Roughin it, getting ready to head to Rod Run weekend at the beach. Yes, she was a trailer queen this year but I did stay in the trailer for extra credit.

 

My avatar from a long time ago, when the guy I bought it from initially bought it.
Pretty much same condition as I bought it, many years later.

 

Damn, Billy, nice trailer!

3 projects

 

I needed something I could sleep in when the wife boots me out of my casa

 

I have never seen a trailer that the whole side opens up! Too Kool. Did you spec this trailer or was it off the lot? Again , nice rig!

Was a 3rd axle not an option?

 

It comes with that escape door and spread axles so you can walk out the side after driving in. It is called an Alcom Stealth Pinnacle. It was made in Montana, I bought it from a friend in Portland/Gresham area who is a dealer for them. And thanks!

 

No I bought it used. It handles fine I have over 30K trouble free miles on it. It's heavier than when I bought it as I added x-members and the 63" semi sleeper. Here's a couple of other loads

 

Taboo travels in comfort whenever it heads out to a show. The trailer is pretty much fitted to just this car and its just nice that most of the others fit. Came up with a way to be able to carry the entire show display within the trailer and not have it damage anything.

 

The only time on a trailer, a bit too far to drive from SoCal to the South Carolina coast. This was a happy day after not seeing her for a few months during our adventures and coast to coast move.

 

^^^ only if you think it is^^^ That should be no more than a 4 day run, 3 if you run like I do. I've run 1100 mi plus in a day more than once in the 41

 

WE USED TO FLAT TOW WITH ROPES AND CHAINS WAY BACK IN THE DAY...CRAZY STORIES...FOR ANOTHER THREAD....MAYBE ILL START ANOTHER ONE CALLED..CRAZY SELF TOW STORIES....

 

This was a day later after we went thru a white out blizzard & over the blues mountain in February of 04 with our 34 5w. Only time any of our cars are on a trailer.

 

Towed many a car , rope , chains , nylon strap... tow bars connected to the frame .. everyone having a cell phone , self towing takes alot more focus...Recently 2 cars towed 112 miles for 425.00 .Got lucky ..

 

A friend of mine had a partially built 64 Pontiac, no fenders, doors, hood, motor, trans, interior, and needed to get it to a workshop a few miles away, so we came up with a plan to tow it, with me in the Pontiac, early in the morning. This was because the road we needed to use was a very busy main road, that's where the shop was, and we wanted to keep away from the traffic. It is illegal to tow a vehicle with another here, it must go on a trailer or 1 axle up behind a truck . So we set off at about 6:30 a.m., and the first intersection we get to, the lights are out, and a cop is in the middle of the road, directing traffic. He waves the tow car around the corner, not realizing there was a car being towed behind, and when he sees me, sitting on a crate, going around the corner, I just shrug my shoulders and we just kept going. He couldn't leave his post directing traffic and chase us, so he was stuck there, and we sailed off down the road. The look of surprise / frustration on his face was priceless.
