Hot Rods .........lazyv8 's new mill for the 39........

zibo.. gotta tell you this man.. one of the most iconic hot rod moments ive ever had was seeing you pull into paso in the dark at 4 am one morning in your coupe flat towing your rpu.. it felt like 1949.. thank you for that..it gave me chills

 

jeffrey... my pal.. wait till you see this motor done man... big plans cosmeticly..heheheheeeeeee.. still love ya . and your motor looks spot on for a brand x. thats alot for me to say that.. but it does . cant wait to see yours done..

 

thanks man.. love your edsel..and love the chrome reverse wheels ,thanks for doing them right..and not using cheapo chrome trailer wheels..

 

thanks dan. ever sell that modified?

 

Man, that's super sweet Brandon. Good luck getting that back together and in the car. Look forward to checking it out in person at some point.

 

Hell Brandon, .80 over and 4" crank sounds like a stock motor to me.......

You shouldn't have told Tyrell about the internals until after he tried to pass you!

 

Hey Brandon,
Glad to hear you finally got the Motor! I can tell you Danny was just as excited for you to have the motor as you were to get it. As you know Danny and I have been best friends in this hobby for many years.We have swapped a lot of parts back and forth and believe in helping the hobby (the Harmon-Collins was off my old flathead ) Danny is a great Ambassador and is always looking to help the young guys! Can't wait to see the motor in the car......​

 

Blast!! Your so right you sneaky dog!

 

Brandon :the engine went to the right guy and to the right car. Thanks for the kind words. Hope to see the car running soon. Oh, p.s. Call me i don't have your phone number. Danny, jr.

 

God I love your coupe...haha

 

Your car is excellent. And getting better by the minute!

I remember the first hot-rodded '39s and '40s I ever saw...1954 there were a couple over in the Burbank district of San Jose...they hung out at Tut's auto supply. Both had big flatheads with pots & high compression heads, chrome radiator hoses...No hoods on either, looked like they were "all engine" to this then-12 year old. In my mind the '40 Coupe was the quintessential hot rod.

The following year I would get a '36 three window, after I missed out on the '40 Standard that my pal Jim beat me to! But I got to work on it, and drive it prior to getting my drivers license!

 

thanks ron! im gonna send the harmon dual point off to the guy in l.a. to check it out because im gonna run it! thanks for all your help ron.

 

thanks you guys for all the kind words!

 

man, your coupe is probably my favorite car on the Hamb, gotta get me a 39 or 40 coupe

 

thank you soo much louie.

 

does anyone have any input on the isky 400 jr.? ????? i have heard it may be a little much for a mild street motor.. may be better with and isky max 1??

 

Wow! What a great story! Good for you, man!

 

Very cool to get a great motor along with some history and soul to it.

Inspiring story for an inspiring car. Love that '39 coupe of yours. Sits so right.

 

heres a little pictoral of jim corriea the man that built this motor..long time hot rod/custom car guy from oakland/hayward area..
jim with some of his collection.
.

 

AND HERE IS THE 39 CONVERT. THAT JIM CUSTOMIZED IN EARLY 1950 HIMSELF..AD DONE AT THE 52' OAKLAND ROADSTER SHOW.
THIS IS THE CAR HE BOUGHT THE LEE CHAPEL TORNADO INTAKE FOR!!!!!!!!!

TOMMY THE GREEKS PHEATON IS DIRECTLY BEHIND IT..

 

He said his fathers repair shop where he customized the 39 was right next to the oldsmobile and studebaker dealerships... Hence the 41' stude grille and 40 ' olds spade bumpers!!

 

TOMMY THE GREEK...

thanks jake! it truly adds soul to this motor!

 

Wow!

 

....and THIS "wasted newby" probably licks his own butt at less-intelligent times. Kinda sad! DD

 

I'm a newby and that guy makes me feel bad. You have to give a man some respect on the mill that he chooses on his pride and joy! That's like saying his wife's ugly, You just don't do it!

 

your rad.. i agree.

 

hahaha! hes probobly rolling around a vega with a smog legal big block and soo stoked on it. ignorant fucktard..

 

When I grow up, I was a coupe just like this yours man....

 

Are ya kiddin me the most he has is a 85' Berlinetta with 305 boat anchor. By the way that 39' of yours is somethin else, love it.LB
