Hot Rods My Deuce Roadster , Hemi , full hood , no blisters

I finally got around to making headers for my Daimler Hemi (England) powered Deuce. That has allowed me to fit the smooth hood sides that I got when I bought the project 14 years ago .I copied the basic Daimler manifold design but had to do a reversal on the driver's side as it ran into the Steering column. I love the results & she still runs cool & the paint did not blister after my trip to LARS .It could be the only Hemi powered Deuce with no louvers & no blisters in the hood It helps being only 276 cu in.

 

That's a good lookin' sum*****!!!

 

Thanks I dig the old girl now without the side exhaust.

 

Looks cool, Steve.

Where is the speedo from?

Nice job - looks great with the full hood

 

Is that a Desoto Hemi?

 

Smooooth, Steve... Headers are graceful, and functional

What ****** did you use behind the Daimler?

 

Look really cool Steve, be a shame to hide them with hood sides now

 

Those headers are gorgeous. Amazing that it still runs cool with the hood sides. Great looking Deuce.

 

steve ,the old girl looks grate,se you next year at lars..

 

Looks dead cool steve, A great car just got better.

 

It's a Daimler Hemi, from the UK.

 

Sweet roadster

 

I noticed the smooth hood sides at the LARS - blew me away!

 

WOW, looks killer. Are the headlights the new OTB ones or old guides ?? I'm loving my hot rod column and s**** pedal too, thanks again.

 

steve the car was lovely before but now it looks even better. ive been looking at smooth hood sides on cars in some old pics - im really liking that look just now, ust seems a little different to what a lot of others are doing.

 

What a nice looking Deuce. And where did you find that beautiful front axle ???

 

The Speedo is a 39 Ford , re faced , as was said The Daimler was made in England 1958-1968 on 2044 were produced, aluminium heads iron block.Front axle I bought 15 years ago too, old dropped & filled unknown maker.Head lights are original , as is everything except my headlight bar/shock mount & front shocks. Trans is a T5 I adapted (all the limo engines were autos )

Thanks for the nice comments guys I like the smooth hood sides , I don't like to follow a groove

 

Well done. Have fun wearing it out.

 

Very cool and love the wide fives. JW

 

English Hemi. Dodge Red ram will fit in stock hood also. Real nice car.

Looks good, but seems a shame to hide that Hemi.

 

Looks great Steve!----What did Lanny think????
Here's how I ran mine back to Memphis & back to SoCal in 1975.

 

Lanny didn't show at our open House Don
The engine has been on show for 6 years it was time for a change

 

awesome,nice job

 

The headers & hood sides look great, are you using twin strombergs on adapters mounted to the original intake????

 

Yes I made adapters to use 2 97's.it runs much better than when I had my own 3 carb intake.

 

Looking good man...are those real guide headlights?

 

Very cool Steve.......

 

That looks clean.
