Vergil..... that's a very slick looking flattie. Is that port injection lurking in the valley?
Tell us what your working on !

Yea Bassman and thanks, its full sequential port fuel injection. So far no problems with it but to early to say if it will be trouble free and dependable. There isn't as much room in the valley as a person thinks, very tight fit.

Working on my 51 Custom Fordor. Bought the car 9 months ago, still doing major repairs like trasmission, brakes and other details. Paint next but want to drive it a lot before that.
We are very happy with our first Shoebox. We even made a video of the day it arrived at our place. Can't forget the smile of mu young son.
Congrats for the new site, it's super.

Thanks Tony, the engine has 3 5/16" bore, 4" stroke, Schneider 270-F cam with 112° lobe seperation & 365 lift, Ross piston's with the thin 1.5 mm rings to eliminate some of the friction which should also help on cooling, balanced, mild relief, some porting, 1 1/2" Manley SS ProFlo valves, Nevarro heads, Light steel CenterForce flywheel and pressure plate, the intake manifold connecting equalizer runners are blocked off for one port per cylinder, the carbs have been gutted and 1 3/8" ID tubing pressed in to match the 1 3/8" throttle plates, I was thjinking of doing a post on the pickup but was wondering about the flack it might cause, may do it and see what happens.
Love those 51's ----------

'35 Standard 5 window keep that has been in the family since '57. My Dad paid 195.00 for it and buying it about put him under financially. Car has never left the area of purchase. Have the dealer's '35 sales log, and the car and it's buyer are listed. Spinster teacher. Story is the furthest it was ever driven was to Lincoln, Ne. and back. She let her lawyer drive her there using the coupe. She wouldn let him go over 30 mph down and back. Dad said when he bought it, you could barely get two fingers in the exhaust pipe from all the soot built up. Replacing the engine after sitting for 35 years(no oil pressure). I think the car is haunted by the old maid who had it. As a kid I remember the car always stalling out or the carb catching on fire. When the pump gear gave out, I think she was pretty happy-the tube type tires on the wire rims didn't go flat once, so it sat nice and even and covered since 1975. Now as we put the different engine, it seems things aren't going to smoothly again. Been working on it for over a year and finally got the new motor fired up and running last nite(the new motor has been layoing in my Dad's shop for about 25 years. he bought a bunch of flattie stuff from a widow. her husband was a well known dirt track guy. anyway, this spring when we pulled a head off to check out the condition of the motor, it was all freshly rebuilt. and the builder stamped the date he rebuilt it and his name. it was rebuilt on 9/57!)

In the final stages of restoring my 39 STD Coupe. Waiting on chrome plating and interior kit and it will be done. Thanks go out to folks like Kube who helped on running board cover installation, etc. The car now has a fresh motor and transmission, new black paint job, all new rubber, glass, rebuilt shocks, wiring harness, trunk and hood springs, and anything else that was needed. I have a set of draft deflectors and spider hubcaps that I also plan to install.

Working on my wife's '37 Slantback, was rough when found but cleaning up pretty well now. 2" wedge chop, new bottoms to everything, new front floors and tailpan, firewall and just about everything else. Starting the tear down for exhaust system and brake lines and then on to prep for epoxy, lizard skin and paint......
