•••Real Flathead Powered Race Car From Late 50's•••

If I could have got this thing of CL for $2500 I believe I would have hung it up and been done with the hunt. I could have permanently been satisfied instead of constantly putting my nose to the ground for something else.


Doodlerodz, I agree, this car needs a quickie! What was that 50's 5spd that was around I think installed in the Bosely?

 

I wasnt really looking for a thread on this car and was suprised to see it to be truthfull. But after seeing it on here I figured that I would post some stuff about the car and its current state. Im the one that you see racing it in Sweden. Apparently I was the first American to ever race at this event and I couldnt think of a better car to do it with either! This car is an amazing ride! It handles extremely well and stops exceptionally well. My partner and I have gone thru this car at my shop here in Escondido Ca. I can tell you that it as a brand new full race flatty in it now as well as a quick change with some lincoln brakes up front and 40 juice in the rear. Had to get rid of the chevy diff! I will post some pics and answer some of the questions on here as I get time. I can tell you it was a very interesting car to work on and get back in the racing circuit. Keep an eye out for it in Germany next month as it will be racing at hidenberg dirt track and finsterwalde drags. Also we will be bringing back to life the Goosic Brothers B/Modified 23 T roadster and a early 40's full size sprint car to race in the upcoming year.

Three springer sports special. Very cool!

 

Rad!!! Those pics are a great addition to the thread! Hope more people will build stuff like this seeing this one.

 

Just because I am a steering box nerd...it looks like a 35-38 Dodge/Plymouth box to me.

Neat car!

Wow!! You are nerdy but that's the kind of nerdy that pays off!! I basically copied and pasted what I read on the tech sheet from ebay. I couldn't tell ya the difference but amazed that there are people like you who can store that much info in your head. Thanks Neal!

 

Nor disk brakes and radials. How did it ever survive!?!?!?

Damn I wish I was rich.
