Hot Rods My fFordness is showlng. Barn find

Looks like an old moonshine runner. When loaded the rear would sag and you were an easy to spot, crank up the turnbuckle and viola back to normal ride height.

Not speaking from experience just something I saw on TLC or History channel about moonshiners.

 

way cool guys-- good things happen to good people

 

I saw that show. I think your on to something there, I would try to find out any history on it that's for sure.

 

Garage door spring and a turnbuckle? If its an old shine runner, you may find evidence in the trunk of tabs or rails to keep crates from shifting during transport. Look close; might be a hidden compartment in the car for stashing cash or a side arm.

 

it's also possible it was done to keep those big tires from rubbing the fenders.

 

Brave statement from a Chevy man! But oh so true, a great save of two sweet rides. I am excited that brother Terry is interested in the coupe. He has been the engineer behind so many rides for the everyone else, it will be good to see a hot rod of his own come together. It was great to see all the Turds gathered at Rob's garage night, a great time for sure. ~Sololobo~

 

Couple of pictures from SOT garage night.

 

Those are some great looking Fords. Nice save.

 

Rob, the roadster looks terrific in person. Thanks for all the hospitality, Can't beat pizza and a beer. Plus it was good to see all the guys. I could not get your roadster out of my head all the way home. Cool stuff. Gary

 

Cool finds!! Was great to see you guys last night and catch up some... it had been WAY too long!

Rob, your Roadster is killer with paint, you did a great job! Thanks for the pizza, beer, and hospitality.

What is under the hood of the green one?

This find is giving me the vapors!

 

The green sedan is stock V8.Once we get past the white rock road dust, bird droppings and mice,I think these are really nice cars.

 

Very interesting photo of "the three thugs in the garage", ironic Jeff Patchin standing below the great Bonneville Sunset picture of his 32 Coupe that Rob won in a H.A.M.B. auction!! Other mystic things were in the air--besides that--when Gary Morris brought Rob a party gift, a pinstriped trophy bought from South Omaha Turd clubmember Terry Bergman. The pinstriped bowling pin was pinstriped by Omaha pinstriping wizard, the late Eddie Vocelka. And in attendance was the legends son Jr. who lays down some fine lines himself. Thats my story and I'm stickin to it--by the way, is that a 350? ~Sololobo~ BTT PLEASE

 

huh ???

 

Maybe it's a piston return spring!!!!!!

 

they need keystones

 

nice find, i wonder whats up with the stromberg in the back and holley up front??

 

One barn find Ford is great. Two barn find Fords....priceless.

 

Fetzer valve safety popoff spring. It was all ball bearings back then.

 

The first thing I thought about after seeing this was the one that drove past the T J Mugs car show in Millard,Omaha suberb, in about 86 or 87. It had a T-bucket body, flathead, same type of gas tank and more of an up-swing for the exhaust. Never did see it again. Wonder where it is now, It`d be nice to see another around the Omaha area again. Anybody remember it? Made an impression on me- I`m more of a Kustom guy.

 

I like the rear leaf spring 'helper' set up....... That rear 'poser' carb is different......
Great find, your blessed......

 

Thanks for the hospitality, shop night was fun.

Looks like a Turd finds a fford post is enough to bring Otis out.


When are we gonna see those fords

 

Rust Revival slowed picking these cars up,we're going to bring them into town after I get off work today.Hope the neighbors like 46 fFords.And yes, I'm blessesd,they don't have Keystones

 

Do yourself a favor, do an intro on the intro forum, then start your own thread instead of hi-jacking this one, then please join the Omaha area hamber's social clubPm me if you need help with any of this.

 

cool old Fords--love the rear spring jack-bought a 40 ragtop once that had this setup--came out of Kentucky-shine car?? who knows--had some strange stuff done in the very front of the trunk as well

 

I missed this first time around, thanks to the new guy for bringing it back! Any developments on these cars?????

 

one is a stromberg and one is a holley

 

agreed
