Andyg, Everytime I see a picture of your roadster it makes me smile. To me the car just seems like a real fun car.
Thanks. It has been a blast....being my first hotrod and all. Here's a few more up-to-date pictures.
I put in a 37 banjo steering wheel and made the horn and lights work off the steering knob.
I put in a 36 LB Flathead V8 because my 4 banger block developed a crack in the outside water jacket (should be an easy fix). With that I rebuilt a mid year serial number 1939 3 speed ******.
Put about 2500 miles on it in last 3 weeks or so....well i haven't driven it this week much. It's been raining and I've had to work a lot.
Drove is to Springfield, MO and back a couple times...250 miles each.
Drove it across Arkansas to Sandsprings, OK and then up to Owasso, OK and back across Arkansas. About 900 miles round trip
Then through AR, Tennessee, and on into Louisville, KY. Stayed the weekend at the Streetrod Nats and drove it all the way back home from Louisville on Sunday...almost 500 miles on Sunday. About 1000 miles round trip.
Then the next Saturday I drove it back across Missouri to the HAMB drags
at MOKAN Speedway, north of Joplin, raced that afternoon and then drove it back to Springfield, MO and checked out the swap meet on Sunday. Then back to the house in AR. About 315 miles on Saturday not including 4 passes at the drag strip then another 135 miles on Sunday. About 450 miles round trip.
They didn't get the message that the HAMB Drags were coming to town!
Well I guess it was more like 3000 miles in 3 weeks. Most of that with my better half along side. She's a fun lady that's for sure. She would have been with me on all of them but she couldn't make the MOKAN trip with me because of family matters. She certainly wanted to though. Kids along for a good part of that too. (11 and 4 years)......yes it's a fun car!!!
Resting peacefully back in the shop!
