Everyone came out fine, insurance payed up after long enough, and my grandpa(the guy driving the car in the accident) gave the project to me. He purchased some other cars as well.
I took the new ly finished 3W to in interior shop last night..............today I started on the RPU, will keep me out of trouble this winter. Dale
Gary, your Tudor looks great aand I love the chop too! Save some pics of the build for the Deuce Gazette. I will be late getting the new issue out since I'm down in Prescott, AZ now and I only have my laptop to work with. I'm going to try and do it with that and the portable hard drive I brought along. I hope it works!
Dale your projects look great too, and it looks like you'll be driving them both next year. Send me some pics of your Deuce collection and a short story for the "Members Rides" page and I'll get them in the Gazette. I am loving it down here in Prescott, especially the weather with it being in the 60's and sunny every day. That's a big change from South Dakota right now! See you next summer!
future plans are chopped/channeled street driver...354 hemi, 3-2s,5 speed, Halibrand champ rearend,16s front, 17 rears...set up to run 150 club (USFRA Bonneville)
I've had mine since 79 and have never driven it. Life, sometimes gets in the way. But, I'm getting ready to get back to it come spring. (winter project is cleaning out the shop) Here's what it looked like in 1954. Some of you may recognize it from Rodder's Journal. It was also featured in Rod and Custom July 1954. Yep, it's the same car. The roadster now belong to a fellow HAMB-er 3dnsouth. A little different now.
Does the Rodder's Journal know about this? They had a picture of your car as it was in 1954 a couple years back. What a treasure!!!
It's cars like this that would have made the Duece book pop, instead we had several glass (did Henry ever build a glass '32) wanna be's and page after page of see what my millions has bought me, this is grass roots rodding in it's purest state
