Parts is parts,sometimes

Sometimes they are just more then parts.
Something about a rare 4 carb intake for a flathead...



Say hello to Torrington for me



WW APU / custom frame

Not secret code,
Willy W. Model A Pick Up
Not a radical piece but completely
custom. Built to his exact spec's
Which work cuz Willy builds good hot rods. Stock wheelbase can take fenders later. I will have finished pix of this one for sure


Something about the cracker box trucks



yeah,you could



almost ready to haul the minature goats to market



Shane's blown coupe

Looks like 99% of my customers are building coupes.
Shane in IL.had us build a swept front chassis for him about 9 months ago.
It is looking killer.Love the little blower,chrome wheels with blackwalls.
I would like to call this one my own.I dig flatheads,but a blown smallblock? oh hell yes.
Watch for updates as the summer chugs along..

good choice in beer too,I like the High Life in cans (have the neon to prove it)

I can see visions of burnouts in my head,just like Hammered Hank use to do..

pulled this one out of my memory bank..straight from my brain,new I-phone ap..

day off ? let's mock up a chassis

Trying to blog everyday,kinda want to see what I do when I'm at the bottom of the barrel for ideas.
Not even close yet,still licking the spoon.
Day off, national holiday.Lets sweep up the home shop.And mock up a chassis that's laying about.

blog'd from phone.Not the best filter choice

split wishbones hanging loose

If I owned a tavern and named it "Ladder bar" would anyone show?

glimpse of the special'nes of the frame..

my driveway is clean,weird filter..

it was a ninety cent ap

maybe I will cover my drive with denim

Firepower

Got the 283 up on the engine stand
Getting set to do final detail
Thanks Todder for dropping off my cherry picker

My new rat rod Don't like the way I drive !? Then stay off the sidewalk

Flat black with flames.red wheels,dirty white walls . So corny I had to have it
Pal Scotty is a semi-pro picker specializing in bikes, asked him to look for a cruiser for me. And damn he found my a road worthy rat rod

flamin'

sidewalk,get it?

pedals real nice,good rehab for me

two rat rods?

says so on the gusset,must be true

AV8 for Tony B

Shipping to So-Cal next week
Down to the short list

1932 Ford coupe - a little oops ..

Couple things I do like more then others in my vocation.
One is the people.Guys that love old cars,I naturally get along with.

Woody up in Michigan was having a bad day.Knocked the headlight off his 5 window
by accident. The two of us figured out all the parts he needed for the repair.
And had a fun chat doing so.

I like old worn paint and bias ply tires,but can't argue with SBC 3x2,chrome wheels.
Couple pic's of the coupe Woody drives ..

Chassis re-do,another Model A coupe

Kaboom! blew it apart yesterday. Pulled all the good meat off the old bones.
It served it's purpose,but all worn out and broken.Getting a new double Z'd frame.
Should have regular updates as this goes together.Frame will be done next week.
Here's the carcass picked clean. No more Spooky30A

Flathead Ford

59AB the correct choice
Just say no to the yucky 8BA
More soon on the infamous AV8

Got some updated pix over the weekend.Philly Dan has been working on the ol' coupe.

Hot rods,aeroplanes,rain. Good times

Yes it rained.It never rains here.(growing up in Seattle)
But the cars we like and drive ain't made of suger.
Didn't get to see the planes fly,maybe if we hung around longer.
Cool mechanical details on the old machines..
