those small letter stewart warner gauges are at the least circa 1959 and up. before that they were "big block letter" SW, before the SW block type in the early 50s it was the wings series. in 1949 you would most likely be using ww2 type curved glass with the big rosebud needle and bold lettering and smooth bezel. the ww2 military ones are black on the bezel instead of chrome.


in 1949 this would be common.


military style.

Any more info on this?

 

Super nice roadsters Larry - great pix !!

But you're right about that carb though.....

Rat

 

I think it was an aftermarket accessory. It says Yankee on it. I know they bid it up to $200 on ebay and won it. A similar one also went for a couple hundred recently...and yes, it works...as does everything else on the car.

edit...there's one on ebay right now and it's already at $124.00

 

Wow, lots of eye candy, thankd for sharing! Does the shop owner have an email that I could contact him at? Thanks!

So tell us Larry what where you really doing over there....?? Are you going to have them work on your 32 pickup....??

 

i spy a ionia hot rod shop frame under that 3 window!

 

Wow that 3w is killer.

 

Larry,

What color is that on the red/maroon roadster?

 

Jason wrote it down for me.

DCC Concept DK Wild Berry 50784

Chrysler DT 3033

Ford MX 705162

it's chinese to me...

 

Thanks for the pictures, the "as it is special" is super cool .

 

eventually, yes...but I was just checking on the roadster...and I just happened to have my camera

 

Thats a solid hotrod right there!

 

you have a good eye...I believe the boxing plates and x-member came from Matt.

 

nice stuff larry....lil roadsters lookin fine!

 

I love the finned head covers, where they common early on?

 

The intake, air cleaner, and covers are real Thickstun units...I think Glynn gave $2500 for the set.

The cam is an Isky 400...rebuilt 97's by Carbman here...39 tranny...'32 rear with 3'78's...'35 wires running 5.50x16 Firestones and 7.50's on the rear. It hauls ASS

 

i've been waiting for pictures of that project to pop up, its an Ionia jig built perimeter frame that is stretched in the front. i welded it up back when i worked there

 

Wow. They look good. Do the covers help disipate heat, or hold it in?

 

When they get done with the bodywork and take it off the frame, I'll do a thread on it...the chassis is wild...lottsa one-off pieces

 

don't get me to lyin'...I dunno

 

I'll do a search. Although I still would be interested in your lie's.

That 40 Sedan is very nice, what is the front end setup on that?
