Here's my shovel pan. Built this a few years ago when I got burned out on cars.

 

^^^ I remember seeing guys with those hats when I was a kid.

Guess that other one is a little too fancy for Simplex?

 

Brand new Indian Scout, 1945

 

Sorry for the ****py picture but it is all I've got. This is Dad's scout and his friends Chief on the rim of Palo Duro Canyon near Wayside, Texas. My dad's nickname was Toots. (see the Scout fender) I think it came from his uncle calling him Tootsy as a kid. Maybe not because my mom's dad called him Tooter. My cousin once sent a letter from Concord. California to him in Canyon, Texas addressed only to Uncle Toots Canyon Texas. It was delivered!
That must have been quite a dusty dirt road duo in the day.
