CheaterRome ... why not just answer his question? ... oh, nevermind, I see from your profile that you live in your ****.

49ratfink ... you are probably familar with Jack Calori's chopped '36 3wd (with '39 LaSalle grille & molded '40 Chevy headlights) that appeared on the cover of the Novermber 1949 issue of Hot Rod Magazine:



Anyway, Jack was a lakes racer ... and originally bought the '36 to tow his ’29 hi-boy to the lakes ... HELLMET's car is a re-creation of the Jack Calori lakes roadster.

 

love it

 

thanks HEMI32. didn't know he had a roadster as well. I kinda figured there was a connection.

 

Hey helmet,
Absolutely love the car man!......gotta question. what was used on the split bones as a tie rod end? Ive seen it before in old mags but never knew what they were of of, I like to use 'em on my model A. It flows with the wishbone so nicely. .........this question isnt just to hellmet ifn any yall other HAMBers could enlighten it would be much abliged!

 

thanks for the updates. I love that car! What heads are those?

I am torn, between the roadster and the chopped coupe. WOW!!

 

Im right there with ya highboy that coupe is gorgeous but that roadster is bad news!....calori had the right idea early on....the coupe for gettin the girls, and the roadster for splittin!
