Hot Rods The final drive in my coupe, happy new year.

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chris Casny, Dec 31, 2009.

  1. ....the final drive in 2009.
    I needed to clear my head, and decided on an impromptu, solo excursion in my model A coupe.
    I hadnt been up in the mountains in at least 10 years, so today was the day. The goal was to reach Mount Wilson, elevation 5700 feet, overlooking Los Angeles, and find some snow.
    I didnt find any real snow, but the drive up Angeles Crest highway was beautiful, realizing there is no cell phone service, priceless.

    Happy New Year, everyone, and stay safe.
    Chris

    You didnt get caught in any mudslides?

    When I was out there a few weeks ago for Mooneyes, we started up there and the road was closed about mile later. I really want to go up there too.

    The car looks great man, I'm sure that was an awesome drive...

    Great shots Chris - I must do the Crest Hwy run in a hot rod sometime. Took my last '09 hot rod ride yesterday - got caught in the rain, but then I believed the weather liar that it was not going to rain until late PM:confused:

    Happy New Year and have a great 2010.

    Chris, your coupe is one of my all-time favorites. Thanks for the pictures. Saved a couple...beautiful. 33_chevy asked how the 6X2 setup is working, and I'm curious too. Got all the bugs worked out? I imagine you must have. I've got a 6X2 for the 430 Lincoln to go into my '29 roadster, and I'm hoping it'll perform as well as it looks. Thanks again for taking us along, and Happy New Year to you. - Rick

  24. The carbs work really great, they are set-up more for my area, where I live (Hollywood/Burbank area) 300-600 feet above sea level, I noticed at 5700 feet, a bit of power loss, but nothing major.
