Well, John, I cannot thank you enough for jumping in with this incredibly valuable suggestion. I tracked down Mr Baughman and had a great time...
Wow. Can't thank you enough. I'll reach out to him. Thanks again!
Whoa! No kidding? I am all ears. Do you know if Mr Baughman is still alive? Are you in touch with him? This could be very interesting, as you are...
I couldn't agree more. That, too me, is the bullseye year that this build screams out.
Jimmy, the body has been widened and stretched to meet the edges of the '32 frame. They really did a nice job, too. The body is nearly dead-on...
This is really great stuff, Jimmy. You could very well be onto something with the Mitchel Muffler crew. Your point about the stock flathead is an...
Man oh man, I sure wish Montgomery and Ganahl were still around. If either of them had ever seen the car they wouldn't have forgotten it. As for...
I wish! They looked for that when the car was first discovered.
That's for sure. We're lucky that we have his books. He really did some great work for all of us.
I completely agree. The silhouette has a faint Jag SS thing going on. Funny that both of the owners ( Gildart and Thacker ) were/are Brits!
A good question. There are no signs of it having been another color during its life as a hot rod. Funny enough, the paint that can be seen in...
Jimmy, my apologies. GNRS is a hectic weekend for us and when I saw a call coming in from Australia I was sure it was spam. I wish I had picked...
Yes. A seriously talented builder, for sure.
Many thanks in advance for any leads on the history of this unique little roadster that my friend, Tony Thacker, purchased about 3 years ago. Many...
Howdy. I'm currently looking at a couple of old used Winfield cams and am wondering if anyone knows what these stampings mean on the end. They're...
Hey there, Crashhead. Congrats on a really nice find! That's a seriously rare and desirable piece and should help fund a lot of other hot rod...
First of all, I can't begin to articulate just how much fun it's been to be able to monitor this thread. Thanks again to Back to Thunder Alley for...
Hey there, Back to Thunder Alley, I've tried every way possible to send along the photos of the Nairn heads that I had but the system keeps...
Indeed, one of the best threads I've ever seen. Can't thank "Thunder Alley" enough for posting these great shots from his family's history. The...
Thank you so much for posting this information and the photos. Wonderful stuff! I've been getting to know both Isky and John Athan in recent...
Great find, Pete, and thanks for saving it. It would have been such a shame for that car to sit and get parted out over the next few years. Congrats!
Looks like it has a high-horse redline tach from the interior photo. If so, it would have been a 365hp car originally. Very very cool find indeed!...
