Charlie, MrmodelT (Clayton) and I have built our two cars on a very limited budget with leftover parts. Clayton's roadster started out as a parts car we had inthe back corner of our shop my car "the Becker Special" started as a spare frame and firewal and we built a plywood body and fiber glass...

Thought I would post some pics of something different. Thanks for the compliments on colors. Dad always liked Pope Hartford green and olive drab green so I added metallic to it. Lite green is 1968 GTO green dark green is 1968 Buick Skylark Poly green.

Well thought I might post some pictures of my 1917 Speedster which I am rebuilding after joining to 2 piece crank club an my way chasing Clayton (MrModelt) to Bonneville Salt Flats for Speed Week last August. Well we put in a new double E crankshaft with new mains and rod bearings. In the...

The roadster is Clayton Paddison's (MrmodelT here and the HAMB) 1926 T gow job. Can't believe it was the parts car for our 1919 touring!

I'd like to say yes, but funds are still tight. Hope fully by spring. I started a new job last June and took a pay cut. I'll be sitting better come May when I get my first raise in pay scale ( only at 70 percent of what our other drivers are making at this time). I have awesome benefits for the...

I have had a lot of fun chasin' that darn roadster to Bonneville and back.Hopefully Tim may be able to join us on some trips next summer with his 26 speedster.

Happy new year! I spend most of my time here lurking, maybe I'll post more in 2013! Thanks, Chris, Melissa, and Carston Becker and the" Becker Special" our 1917 speedster

The fenders are the new ones we had built for our 1913 White GAF 30 touring car years ago. They are just mocked up on the fender irons. Clayton custom built the fender iron with the thought of building these type of fenders. Fenders will actually be fiberglass as I don't have the metal...

Worked on getting running boards bolted up and Clayton mocked up the front fenders. Chris Becker

Well after being down at Portland Swap meet all weekend Melissa and I had to take Special out for a blast down the street. Had it up to around 50mph just in direct! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...t=MVI_0187.mp4 http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...t=MVI_0188.mp4 Chris Becker

*BIG UPDATE NEWS* The "Becker Special" IS FIXED!.....AGAIN! (Hopefully it stays fixed this time! ) Well, after Chris and I's head gasket debacle two weeks ago we now found ourselves fighting some sort of ignition problem: No spark on some of the plugs, some of the time...tries to...

Well figured I’d update people on how the Special is going. Since the fire up party we have been chasing one problem after another… First the Warford transmission went bad. Seems the input shaft was really worn out when we got it 10 years ago. In my youthful infinite wisdom I decided to...

Not this Year We really need to do some engine work on Clayton's Roadster "Josephine". and still working buds out oif the specil;a yet so next year for sure.

Well we did accomplish that task. Last Saturday we drove the Becker Special for the first time. It was raining But we had a great time drifting it in the mud and dirt around our shop giving rides to friends and family who have watched this car come from pile of parts 6 months ago...
