Hot Rods 1927 Gowjob.....out of hiding

Well I found my old picture disc and thought I would share for those whom pm about photos on a weekly basis.

 

Very kool. I like that a lot. Thanks for the pics.

How long ago John? Maybe 5 years?. This was the day Jason at Sugarhill picked it up for display.

 

Man-o-man,...... I dig that little T !

Rare 1940 Flintstone brakes.

 

Yes its got to be about that. I know it sure has changed....JOHN

 

It's funny you should post this. I was going to PM you a little while ago and to ask you the origin of the windshield /posts on that car. They are not T are they?

 

I believe they are 27 Chevy.....I got the winshield and posts from DE SOTO about 6 years ago at the Paso Robles early V8 swap.

 

Hey if I might, what is a Gowjob?

 

Not sure, an old drylakes term like Cutdown.

 

Thank you.

 

wow! bitchen.

 

*Does she gow mate? Bet she gows like the clappers!
Permutation of Go-Job or perhaps in reference to "gow out". Pre war term for Hot Rod.

(*With Aussie accent.)

 

ruler.

 

Gow Jobs kick ass plain and simple. Does not get anymore traditional then the cars that ran the lakes and pioneered the forms of motorsports we still watch today. I am building my car as though it would have been legal under the Russeta Timing Association.

Royalshifter this is the first time I have seen your car and its always great to see a preserved original, even if you did clean her up and shiner since the story being told about these pictures was they were taken 5 years ago. Thank you for posting them sir.-Weeks

 

So was this ever running or was it always just mock-up? I remember hearing somewhere that it was just thrown together but never finished.
