The 32 coupe should be rnning in a month or so and I think a road trip is in order. Tell Ron that the coupe will be alive soon.

Just asses and elbows around here.

Way too many skunkworks projects to mention, lets just say the latter end of this year and next year should be bigtime for us.


Good to hear the Rubiks Deuce is nearly driveable!

Jesse, what do you need?
I have a brand new/rebuilt F100.
I was not going to take that to the swapmeet cause I got it to put in the Roadster ( but I would have to modify it to fit ).
If you want it let me know, I can have the 'box rebuilt thats in the car already...

Steve, the Rubiks Deuce... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I like that... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't know if I could afford a brand new one, does it have a pitman arm on it?

I might have one, if I do, I'll throw it in...
A customer bought it from The Old Ford Store for his T, but it blocked a exhaust port on his Flathead, so we went Vega.
I bought it from him so he did not have to return it.
I have the bill here somewhere, I can look it up if you want me too.
( I know it was not a SoCal kind of price...)

Olmstead was calling it the Bullet Body, Chris from GoKatGo coined the term Rubiks Deuce I belive. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ron calls it the 227 Bullit Coupe, for the number of times it got shot. ( I wonder who took the time to count all the holes... )
I think I'll stick with Rubiks Deuce. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Heres a stupid question, any of you guys have a Pinto wagon or a granada 8" hangin around that you could part with? I've decided to switch out the rears in the Valient instead of bustin my ass trying to find discontinued bearings.

I have one that I kindof hanging onto but if you really need one we can work something out. Its missing the 3 member but the rest is there. Let me know if you need measurements.

Ron and Alex, I will not be able to make it down, however my new job affords me a normal 9-5 mon-fri again.

So.. any future events and trips made will allow me to kick it. Keep me posted.

Still looking for a C4, pan fill if possible.

Oh mannn, thanks again for that one. I've just been swaping it's axles since bearings are either to expensive or don't exist.

Ron, thanks for letting me know about the show. But work requires 4 weeks notice for a day off. You know if anything else is coming up? I should give you a call near midweek; see when I can get you out here.
