Projects Flat FED build

One mean flatty. Is that a spare flatty in the back left?

 

Sounds good.

 

that's my used and abused parts holder, of course like every Flathead owner ya gotta have spares

 

Once again a great big shout out to all the volunteers who stood in the heat, cleaned all the trash, did all the little things and big things, so that a bunch of ol farts can relive their youth. A special thanks to Rocky n Tammy for all you do for all of us. Another special thanks to Joe Davis for allowing all of us to tear up his place twice a year................ Yep another great Weekend at Eagle.................
Made it into the finals where we had a great run against John Yungs injected Flatty. What a great thing the first time we had an all Flathead 8 Final. We lost by .033 and congratulations to John and his crew and driver Sean Bell for an outstanding run. Yep a great weekend all right!!!!! Video later on........Carl

 

ah yes..........

 

Oh Oh what have we here??? 2022 project.....

 

Manual gearbox for the racecar? Or the hauler?
Loved the race video from Eagle field.

 

Are you building a new car to add to your fleet? I think you need to start a new build thread Carl. Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Na just going to update the hauler, been wanting to do this for a few years now and want to do it before I die...........making linkage of my own and trying to get all bugs worked out before I pull old tranny, don't like to have the truck down more than a weekend......... and na Tom don't need any new projects or threads have enough problems keeping track of this one........

 

I know what you mean about new projects Carl. Some day I'll get back on the race car after I get the '64 Dodge altered wheelbase street project back running and then there's this other thing that I have on the back burner and four cigar box guitars that are in various stages of construction...Oh, shiny!

 

stage 1

 

Damn Bumps n Bruises strikes again.....

 

Make sure it has stopped turning before you grab it.

 

Go easy on those tips Carl, you may need to pick your nose in the pits.

 

Same reason I can't use my fingerprint to open my cell phone, they're always changing

 

A little blood sacrifice to the hotrod god might make the hotrod go FASTER!

 

Ok 45 more getups till May Flathead V8, 6Cyl Clash and this is this years Trophy

 

I dunno, startin' to look kinda formal.
But seriously cool.
Long live "The Clash".

 

still home made Dick, not plastic or other junk

 

at Sac Autorama today

 

Great photos. Nice to see your truck and FED.

 

Was a good weekend

 

You are definitely living the dream. Congratulations.

 

Excellent.

 

Looks pretty and goes fast too!

 

Tom you can't call it 'pretty'. When my wife and I got together 30 plus years ago I was driving trucks and she was an English teacher. Her previous marriage was centred around everything but trucks or modified cars. When we were 'courting ' I took her to Sydney's Kings Cross area to show how the other people partied. While sitting watching the passing action a W model Kenworth with all the bling cruised down the 'strip. She watched it go past and said, "what a pretty truck". I had to tell her you don't call trucks 'pretty', but it was 'an alright lookin bit of gear'. We are still together despite that glitch.

 

Now thas funny right there......
