    Added another to the garage as I stockpile for retirement. Running driving 28RPU. I will drive this until the snow starts falling then into the garage for the winter. IMG_1889 (1).jpg IMG_1890 (1).jpg

    Very cool! Should be a fun fall run around. Got any plan for it yet?

    I have a nice Model A ch***is with 4" dropped axle and a 274 Flathead with a 39 trans and a 40 rear end that I will swap under and into this at some point. Working a trade on a QC to round it out.

    I've built two flathead V8 A's, my 28 Special Coupe avatar, my 30 Sport coupe and a 30 Pickup with a warmed over banger. Told my wife the Sport Coupe was the last car I was going to rebuild then got bored and bought a 29 Roadster pickup. Was going to be a tinker with it project but had several problems and turned into a bare frame project, just about back to a rolling ch***is with a warmed up banger. Rebuilt engine with a Snyders 5.5 to 1 head, 50's Mallory dual point distributor, Burns manifold and a Holley 94 carb. Hoping to have the RP up and running next summer, Paint and body work up next.

    For now you can use them like the grill handle they resemble to check on your sandwich warming on the engine ;) look forward to seeing it become a cool hotrod!

    Normally I’m ****er for a fenderless rpu but Taulberts really looks fantastic with them on. IMG_7083.jpeg IMG_7084.jpeg
