Featured Features Finally back after 5+ years

No worries. I appreciate you too. Lol. I’ve seen a few different ways but the pictures Joe Blow sent were great. I’m definitely going to use that method.

 

My hood is all done. I just have to go pick it up. I’m picking it up a New England Dragway next Sunday.

 

Who did the louvers? I like the salt flat style.

 

Check back a few posts and you can see a video. Mike from “This Old HotRod”. He’s in M***.

 

My tach wasn’t showing the correct RPM and I was told I had a .500 reducer on it. I took it off and success. The cable was a pain to get on so I’m guessing that’s why the 90degree reducer was on there.

 

@Stephen Barrett -

Since you're in New Hampshire and @GregCT. is in Connecticut . . . I'm guessing Greg had purchased this *****in' Nailhead-powered Deuce 5wd from someone in California ??? . . . :

​

. . . I only ask because the car looks somewhat familiar to me.

It did come from California but GregCt bought it from another gentleman in Connecticut. That guy got it from Cali. He actually p***ed away and his Son sold it to GregCT. If you have any info you can share that would be great. If not, no worries. I’m told it’s been to Bonneville. I’d love to see anything on that. I’d like to go there sometime.

 

I found this picture online. Looks like it was in Ohio before it reached the Northeast.

 

Got the burs on the louvers all filed and the hood in primer. I’m waiting on some paint from Eastwood. It should be here this week. I primed my grill shell too and ordered a new cap with the trim. I tried to find an original one with no luck. I’m looking for an original grill too. If anyone out there has one let me know. Here’s a couple pictures.

 

Had a few pictures of inside my car I thought I’d post for anyone interested in seeing them.

 

I’m still working on the hood latches but here’s how the hood and original grill shell looks. If anyone has an original grill and radiator cap with the bezel please let me know. Thanks.

 

Looking good! Those louvres set it off nicely!
