does anyone remember this Deuce?

Facebook page called ******** hotrods... Lots of cool pics must be an earlier pic I noticed those big *** bumpers , maybe you can comment on that picture on there,.. Someone had to post it .. ..

. Your gonna have to punch that 283 .125 over and put some real pistons and heads on it! I just heard of a 5w for sale here..... Tic toc

I'll donate an f-100 box

 

that is a very good looking 32, and i would say for sure its the same car.

 

My vote is that it's the same car. Bobbed rear fenders, nerf bars, rear leafs, I'm convinced. Now the easy part is done. Good luck hunting.

 

I found the last pic in another thread here on the hamb. The pic is credited to:

"James "Cogo" Eads, from Killeen, TX."

Here's my observation.. In the 2nd pic it is low in front, probably by the use of a dropped axle. In the first pic, the radius rods or wishbone sits low relative to the wheel, (similar to the 2nd pics) saying to me that it probably still has the dropped axle, but has probably been raised up with a new spring or a spacer above it.. So, I would say the 2nd pic is earlier than the first (gas station) pics.

One other thing: Check the drag link angle in the lowered pic. Man that thing must have bump steered like crazy!

mart ..thanks for the info , see that picture thirtytwo posted in that thread. was it in Texas at the time? the first pictures i posted were definitely taken in California by my father , but i could be way off on the year

 

Judging from the trees in the background and the sky I would say Texas , but the longboard on the roof leads me to believe California ! I guess kiwi kev wasn't the first hotrod coupe to have a surf board strapped to the roof!

 

The pic is credited to Cogo Eads.

I googled the info posted above and found numerous ways to contact Mr Eades. If you want to do the same you might be able to get more info on the 2nd pic. I did put some info here, but began to feel like I was stalking Mr Eads.

He is out there in webland and very easy to find.

That's a cool pic. Definitely the same car, it's got the rarely seen American Lemans wheels on the front. I'm diggin Jim's Wynns jacket too.

 

Cogo Eads ran a Barracuda funnycar in the 70's called "Boss' Cuda"

 

I don't know of its whereabouts but that is a good looking Deuce. Good luck. Gary

 

Mart , thanks for the help. i've checked out "Cogo" Eads website and that Hamb link on Texas cars and i'm still a bit confused..or maybe i'm a bit slow today...are we saying it is his car? is that him standing by it in the picture Thirtytwo posted? or just a picture he put on his website?

maybe my father wasn't in California when he took the picture

Lighten up I agreed it looked like Luzaders coupe didn't say it was.

 

If you look closely at the pic Greg there is a long board on the roof... I doubt he was "hanging ten" in kileen Texas ... Just a guess , I would bet that car got turned into a vega boxed 4 bar'd 350/350 Easter egg sometime in the 80s

 

Parallel leaf springs for sure and now I see that I'm really late on adding my input
