Those names don't ring a bell. Seems like it was a new car and they had some issues with it, but it made the trip OK.
I knew who Denzil was, but don't think they were the other couple that went with us. One of these days their names will pop in my mind. The...
Found another picture that showed 3 of the cars from that trip, and I believe that is Lloyd's car in the other pic, and on the right in this one....
I think that belonged to another couple from Kelso whose names I have forgotten. I'd have to dig thru my old pics to see if there are a few...
I found this pic of Dallas. As I recall - It was in '91 and we had been at the NSRA Nationals in St. Paul, MN. Dallas left ahead of us in his...
I just heard that Dallas had passed. Very sad. Lots of memories of rod runs with him including the Street Rod Nationals in St. Paul, MN.
I thought it was possible Phil did the purple with flames. It was a great job. Seems like there was a hood, or just the top part, that was...
What does it look like now, and where has it been?
I heard Meeks worked on it, but don't think he owned it. The transmission mount was just pieces of channel iron welded together - no coping, or...
I bought this car in '75 and sold it to an old cowboy movie actor in Bishop, CA. Car was green in '68 with gold interior, chromed undercarriage...
Lots of good ideas for me to work with, thanks everybody! I see Speedway & Jegs sell Procar low back bucket seats in the right size also.
Thinking about upgrading the seats in my chopped '29 Tudor. Legroom is tight, and after driving for a while I get cramped up. Seats have to...
I just bought a '37 Ford pickup, and am thinking the '34-'36 style front bumpers look better than the stock bumper that is on there now. I see...
I want one of those M5 Studebaker pickups! Anybody know of one for sale?
The way Wallace is going, that stuff will finish rusting away before anybody gets a fair chance to save it. In this part of the country things...
The Unique Tin show & cruise in Longview is limited to participants. Makes a nice enjoyable cruise, and there's always a big spectator turnout....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Lil Confusion is a 1962 Portland Roadster Show Hall of Fame car. Russ Meeks did some of the chassis work on it, but I recall...
How would a headliner make a difference? Louvers would probably be about the same as the holes for changing the airflow over the top.
No headliner, and no plans to put one in. The wood inside has a nice clear finish on it, and I like the look.
Yes, the actual top material itself kind of ripples and crackles against the chicken wire. It only does this in the area of the first wood...
It's not air coming inside the car causing the top to ripple & crackle - it's the airflow over the top. Kind of like airflow over an airplane...
It's not the visor coming off that concerns me - it's the top material. Putting holes in the visor will change the airflow over the top and...
I'm considering putting holes in the visor on my 29, and have read the old threads concerning them. One question remains for me: My car has a...
I was there, and there were lots of nice cars to look at. It would make me happy if they would put all the rat crap stuff in their own area so I...
My advice is to save your time and money for something better. It would likely fall apart if you tried to move it. Lots of better stuff out there.
Thanks for the quick answers, I'll be signing up there today. Mel
Pics of the '31 Roadster.
I just bought a '31 roadster that has been stored since the mid '70s. The car was running and in great condition when stored, but will need some...
