Bump, just in case....
If any of you guys from the Portland, WA area are headed up for this I've got a HAMB relay request. I bought a Model A engine and transmission...
Thanks Payne! I'll do that right now. I appreciate the info!
Bump it back up... Nitrodusterron has graciously offered to get it to me from Vancouver, but now it needs a ride from Auburn to Vancouver in the...
PM sent! ;)
:( Sounds just like my luck.....
Guys, I bought a model A engine & transmission from a fellow in Auburn, WA last year and haven't been able to find economical transportation...
Ford switched from the forged brackets to the stamped steel ones in mid 1930. There were a couple variants of each, but for the forged brackets...
Lookin good George!
Yup, that is indeed the Marv Tonkin car. As much as I hate to see a cut up Thunderbolt, those are some pretty cool pictures. Thanks for posting...
Those production numbers aren't all they're cracked up to be because the cars weren't built or delivered one at a time. If you look at the...
Many years ago there was an article in Hot Rod magazine about the family that owns that car (or it might have just been about one of their cars, I...
Yeah, I was going to ask hasn't that car had a lot of uhhhh, how do I say this politely, sheetmetal replacement? Deron
That brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. What size wheels were these cars originally delivered with? Deron
Welcome Clyde! Any chance you have any old photos of your Dad's car or any knowledge of what happened to it? That's one of the cars that seems...
Thanks Roo, I'm about 99% certain that's what he told me. If you happen to run across one of their ads I'd love to see a copy! Deron
Got a question that I hope some of you guys can answer. I've attached some photos of a dragster that my uncle ran in the 66/67 timeframe and I'm...
So let's see some pics! Come on guys, don't hold out on us....;) Deron
Very true Tom, very true! On a smaller scale I've always wondered why one of the resin caster guys hasn't done a 1/24 scale version so some of us...
Probably because they're butt ugly... :D Deron
I just stumbled across this photo of Hazel on another website, and I don't recall seeing it posted here yet. Deron
Thanks for the info Ford George! I've asked Pat several times over the years who bought his car but all he could remember was that it was "some...
Thanks for posting Mike and welcome! I've often wondered if that was indeed the Dick Coffey car because no one around north Alabama remembers it...
According to 64Cyclone, that car is the Dick Coffey Ford car out of Decatur, AL. If I'm not mistaken, pieces of this car and the Woody Anderson...
Kinda the same answer I was thinking! ;) Deron
I've got an unusual request.... Any chance some of you guys might have a few interior photos of Thunderbolts that had their wheelbase altered?...
Thanks Dennis. That's pretty much what I thought but wanted to be sure. At what point does Fred Henderson fit into the ownership history of this...
What about this one, does anybody recognize it? Off the top of my head, the only two cars I recall with a silver roof (very cool by the way..) are...
That'd be Milo Coleman's car. I believe that car was originally sold through Walker Ford in Treasure Island, FL but he later received sponsorship...
