My Antique Nationals New Ride

[Creeper Larry]

I picked up thie A model last night. I didn't think I was gonna have a ride for the race in 3 weeks. Then BAM, I bump into a buddy that has this gem takin up needed space in his backyard. I need to go buy a lottery ticket or sumthin. The same thing happened last year, except I had 2 months , instead of 3 weeks. The car runs and drives, well it will after a refurb on the distributor, and a frontend swap. I can wait, another 50MPH quarter mile pass. Yee Haw. Creeper

[Creeper Larry]

Another shot, I love this car!

[bufordtjustice]

Lucky man, good luck with it!

that thing is absolutely sweet as it sits.

[Deyomatic]

I agree 100% with Bornwithatail, I love it. I want one now.
Incidentally, when I saved the pic, it seems you have titled the photo something about "toilet." Why is this?

[RileyRacing]

Wow. I need to move to the west coast. Good score!

got that right.

[burndup]

Hey, if you hear about a THIRD one, lemme know...

[Creeper Larry]

I'm not gonna change a thing on this car!!!!! I love the way it looks,it's like a time capsule. It was a coupe originally, but someone needed a tan I guess. I'm gonna put a log intake with 2 97's, and a torquetube header and call it done. I don't even want to lower it, it's kinda different. It reminds me of those late 30's lake jobs. Creeper

[PEDDRO]

Cut that one down too Larry and send it to me, address it to...................... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Deyomatic]

When I right click on it, it says "403030-toilet2" as the file name before I changed it...

[NortonG]

Okaly dokaly neiborino. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Creeper Larry]

Peddro, just tell me where you want me to cut it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[beatnik]

Yea Nice Find! I wish I was that lucky.

[singledownloop]

great find,doesn't look like she needs anything but rid of that trailer.Not that i'm implying she's only going to be trailered,just that she looks a little lost up there.I'd like to say i give my left nut to find something like that but around here somebody might take me up on it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[Creeper Larry]

I know the trailer is abit on the nice side. The funny part is - $3500 trailer behind a $500 truck. It's my dad's trailer, and it sure tows easy.

[topdeadcenter]

That thing is sexy....

Nice score!

[FeO2]

Put a VW distributer on it.Very easy swap.I just did one on my budget banger

[volken65]

Jeep distribute is an even easier swap. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Creeper Larry]

I might have a lead on an old Mag for the Banger.For now I'm gonna redo the stocker to get me down the strip at the Nats.

[PEDDRO]

Hinges on a welded door? Was this thing owned by an Irishman? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Larry: I'll PM ya soon about the 27. Just been a bit too flat out to think about LOGISTICS lately... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[DoubleClutch]

Great find! Looks perfect just as it is! Have fun with it!

[GRADY]

I m jealous
nice find

[Otto]

I gotta come down to your place and drink a beer with you. You find some great stuff.
Looking forward to seeing it terrorize the neighborhood. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Creeper Larry]

I just got it fired up and blew out all the ratshit in the pipe. It runs great. My buddy John came over an helped me out. I got to bolt on the other front end and it is ready to go round the hood. Otto, come by anytime, all i need is an excuse for a beer! My friend came up with a neat way to run the header, so this rig might be pretty cool. Well just abit cooler than it already is. Larry
