I talked to the owner of this "T" at a swap meet about 6 years ago. At that time, he still owned it.
A Deuce 3W made into a coupster,
Yep. I still have mine. I think 3 or 4.
Always liked that wagon. I think I remember an under hood shot in a Car Craft back then. Back about that time, there was a Chevy 11 wagon that ran...
Not sure this is the right place to mention this. My relative rents space at a shop on Gasoline Alley in Indianapolis. He said shops there, need...
I too love lacquer paint. Any first-time painter could have success with it. The deep shine is so much better than the multi layered clear coats....
Nice looking "T" with Pontiac motor and rare Pontiac F.I.
I think that's Harry's car when he first started racing it. At that time, it had what we referred to as a "352" Cu. In. motor. He scattered that...
WOW! I'm impressed. Love the DIY attitude.
You might be talking about Don Fezell. Our car club went to see his collection of cars more than 10 years ago. At that time, he had the "63" Old...

When Corvettes were used for racing and not for display.
Nice to see no raised white letters, ugh.
Nice rake, and good to see the headers parallel with the ground. Too often the collector is hanging down.
PERFECT!
Agreed.
Thanks. At 15, in 1960, it was one of the first show worthy hot rods I'd seen.
I think this is a Deuce I saw at the first drag race I ever went to. It sat at the pit gate at PITA (Presque Isle Timing Association), summer,...
Street Rodder magazine in the early 70s, had instructions on how to make your own, like the one on Ebay. Back when people built their own parts/cars.
Before it was finished, it was decided it had already won the AMBR. That according to Tex Smith in his book.
Absolutely. Like the saying goes, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".
Too bad.
Wow! Somebody I can relate to. I too, love to create. Once it's done, time to send it down the road.
My Wife says, these type of people have the "small peter syndrome".
