Maybe these links should be posted early in each months meeting.

If anyone knows of more, please post them.

I'll be dipped, that's a Model A, innit?

That's a sweet Model A roadster with the filled 32 shell!

 

is that a coupe made into a roadster? or a pinstripe making it look that way?


edit.... looks like a pinstripe...


I sure like those 30-31's with the 32 grill and all the fenders....

 

Great stuff guys, I love the monthly banger meet. Got my engine painted, just waiting on my Snyder head so I can start driving again.

Got a couple questions, what kind of comfortable top speed can be had with a 39 three speed behind a mostly stock banger, I ask this because I would like to get the three speed/overdrive newer ford trans conversion but I already have a 39 trans and can do that conversion for 350 bucks versus over 2000 for the other... and the second question is will an engine run fine with a 7:1 head on babbit? Everybody says it won't but I have a bar of babbit that has a little more nickel in it than normal so wouldn't that make it a little harder and be able to handle the little extra preasure? And I don't drive like a maniac mind you, I give her a go every now and again but I just want to be able to drive her pretty much anywhere I wanna go.
