Steve, do you have the 32 3W that you use as your avitar? For everyone who wants more pictures, I have lots of old slides that I will have to look through when I get a chance. I know that I have a lot of old hotrod pictures which are not the main theme of this post started by 56Kustom. I have to say that if it has four wheels, and is a car, I probably took a picture of it. My pictures are mostly from the 60s though, except a few that are mixed in on my web page. http://http://www.bslusa.com/cars/index.htm (model40 aka Tom Phelan)
Model 40: Yes I'm in the process of building right now. In the picture it looks like it's all together but we just hung all the parts on it and rolled it out in the light to look at it. Steve
Model 40: I was kidding you this morning. It is not a picture of my car. I am building a 32 3 window but it is gl*** body which I bought from New Age Motorsports in Conn. which I put on a TCI ch***is. Steve
Steve, That's ok, my avitar is a picture of a car that I bought in the 60s and set up with a 55 Olds and dual range ******. I sold it before I ever drove it. Now I have another 55 Olds engine and dual range ****** that I thought that I would use but may sell for what I have into it. There is a 34 3W that I first saw at a show at Ocean Spray a couple of years ago. It was in prime with steel wheels, wide whites and all the 50s style trim. It took a while before I realized that it was gl***. Then, if you like the smooth style, I say use gl*** and keep the steel cars for the more original look. How is your TCI ch***is set up? I have a 34 TCI stage III for my 34 and I bought it with TCI independent front and a 9" rear with 4 bar. It has the chrome and stainless package and stainless brake lines with GM disc brakes up front. I also had it C notched in the rear and the rear cross member raised one inch. It is set up for a sbc and 700r4 ******. I am looking to sell it and buy a traditional ch***is. It isn't ***embled and all the parts are still crated. I want to go to a traditional ch***is instead with I-beam up front. I talked with Matt at New England Carriage and he is going to try to sell it for me and build a new one. Tom
Your trying to fool everyone Steve,its a good try,the one in your picture,Dave Lane built.Did u get your body for your 32.And if u get a chance,and ever figure how,post some pictures will u.Will I see you at the WOW in boston,have a good holiday steve.
Model 40: My ch***is has a straight axle front with a 4 bar, and a richmond quick change rear with a 4 bar. I have a blown and injected 427 chev. motor with a richmond 5 speed behind it. The body has a lot of original stuff such as crank out windshield, working cowl vent, outside door and trunk handles, outside door hinges, louvered trunk lid. And it is going to be a full fendered car. John: Yes I did get the body on Oct.23 and if you teach me how I would love to put some pictures of it on here. See you in Boston at the show. Steve
My friend now owns that blue sedan with all the trophies.Still looks exactly the same. I got to drive it a couple of months ago, pretty cool.
Maybe three or four months. He bought the car from Jim Jard. Got a pic of it at work, I'll bring it home tommorrow and scan it. This is my friend with Mike at the show inn Houston.
Hey guy's Great thread! I found these photos by Buddy George and Gary Dawbin on Mart's Real Hot Rod site...http://www.martsrods.com/ Here's the link... http://www.flatheadv8.freeserve.co.uk/martsframes.htm Click on the "Vintage" page and Buddy's albums are at the bottom. Gary Dawbin's folder has a bunch of photos from Sanford ME. A lot of rods and customs on there.
Anyone know who owned these cars back in the day? Photos by Buddy George, Sanford ME. drags 1959 Killer '34... Was this Ron Carson's coupe...
I recognized a couple of the cars.The ***ian Red Deuce roadster with the Olds hubcaps is Norm Wallace's car(once owned by my cousin and now by Larry Hook),the chopped white 51 Merc with the 55 Ford grille belonged to Jimmy Prince from Malden M***achusetts.I think one of the Deuce trucks in there was Paul Bourque's from Saugus M***.(the one with the stacks).The chopped 40 standard coupe I think was Hymie's(can't remember his last name)from Malden and that 34 cabriolet could possibly have been the McKiel brothers from Melrose.It had a nailhead Buick in it later on.I think they still own it.
I believe the '32 was built and raced by Charlie Hiller out of Mattapoisett. It's now owned locally here by Ted Lay**** and has a blown 392 in it. He takes it to some of the local events once in a while. I'll throw a picture of it up here when I get home. LSM
I think you got pictures there of my '57 Belair 4 door hardtop. It was white with a blue interior with power widows and a rear mounted power antenna. The neat thing about it was the engine. It was a fuely 283 backed by a hurst shifted 3 speed box. It was very unique even for that time. In the picture shown the interior looks more updated than when I owned it. I used to run some Dual 90's recapped cheater slicks on the rear. Those triple stripe tires gave it a nice look. I wonder what year that photo was snapped? I had the car untill 1967 when I turned it in for a 58 Corvette heads up. "Disgustin"
