It will be fun to watch the new project. What's happened with the coupe? Are you still looking for a 32 body?
I was hoping this thread would get rolling again once winter came......still hoping...
I'm envious, I really like the mid 30s body styles. I hope you'll keep us updated on your progress.
I'm going to try some duct insulation from Home Depot. It's 1/8 inch thick flexible foam with fairly heavy foil on one side. It is self-adhesive,...
Mike, Have you been able to discover where the coupe was sitting/stored for so many years?
That's a helluva horn you put on the B/comp!!! (at end of video) Is this fun or what. Thanks Mike for keeping history alive and keeping us...
Your new find looks like one I spotted a couple years ago. I wondered who that belonged to.
Thanks for making it to Eddie Cochran Days in Albert Lea Mike. I hope the trip was worthwhile. The weather cooperated friday night, but the early...
Hope to meet you & the car on Saturday Mike.
I'll definitely be at the 'Eddie' Days Friday night and Sat show...if you're there I'll certainly say howdy. If you go to Austin I'll try to get...
Mike, Have you decided if you're coming to Albert Lea or Austin with 'Thumper'? It's just 2 weeks until 'Cochran Days' here in A.L. The lack of...
Things have been quiet here for a while. I was expecting to hear a beautiful sound and see burning tires. I hope this isn't the way it's going to...
You sure have a passion for the 'old school' stuff. That makes me hope even more that you make it to the Albert Lea car show...would love to meet...
I never owned a car until I got into college. But dad had several cars I got my hands on at night: 1961 Buick Electra convertible..blue w/white...

I saw this pic in an old (and bad) issue of Drag News from 1961...it caught my attention quickly since it looks so much like 'Thumper'. I thought...
My vote is to keep same thread.
Regarding tank with pump in cap, a HAMBer ( CONNMAN ) on another thread said this: "Moon offered the hand pump in the early years ,,,had one on...
Does anyone have pics of vintage Moon tanks with the pressure pump as part of the winged cap? I've seen only 1 picture of same and wondering...
I stumbled on to this link: http://www.kenlowe.com.au/nostalgia_photos.htm scroll down to bottom of page to see an altered of same vintage...
For what it's worth, I made a very quick & dirty video & posted to YouTube to see if any more info on the car could be found. Will keep thread &...
You might want to mention any shows this summer in Austin. Maybe Mike might bring the car 'back home'.
Oh, and here's the award too! Congrats!!!
Some of the uploaded photos seem dark...at least on my PC. So here they are lightened-up a bit.
I was told this is plaque from Austin MN Thumpers Club...but I haven't found another source for verification. Can anyone else verify this as...
I've looked through the thread and don't see any mention of this... but what class would this have raced in 'back in the day'?
Dang this is fun to watch. I had considered bidding on this car on Ebay even though I have no experience working on same. It's great to see the...
