Does Anyone have Pics of Jimmy McCord's "McCord Special"

[Jimmy B]

G'day I was wondering if anyone had any pics of the Jimmy McCord's "McCord Special"? My Dad has a '29 Chev Tourer cowling & rear tub and I'm trying to give him some ideas of what he could do with it. Motor will most likely be a flathead V8 out of a Jailbar pickup. Frontend will be Chev as I have a spare '29 Chev frontend. The pics in CKD No.2 are small and aren't that sharp. It will be a while before any work starts as he is still undecided on what he wants to do with it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gifSo some better pics may help make his mind up!
Cheers in advance! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Didn't he part that car out and sell the pieces on the HAMB?

[Sloppyseconds]

No...my best friend Richard just bought the car off of Frankie in trades for a 46 Ford the Bruns had worked on...It is all in pieces...Jimmy did keep a few on the odd pieces off it...We are slowly putting the car back together..Im sure he would have some pics of it. Ill ask him

I'm pretty sure that there is a model A truck body on the chassis now... At least that is what the guy that had the chassis said it was from....

[wideglide74]

The chassis went to Finland... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77026&showall=1

I belive there is a great coverage of it in an old Rolls & pleats....

[Stovebolt]

Jamie, I've got all the R&P's so I'll try to find it, scan it, and send 'em to you if you want.

but on second thoughts - I thought it was in an early CKD

Hey Mark, scans would be great!

It was on the cover of CKD No.2 & was featured as well.

Do you remember which issue? I know it was on the cover of No.6.
Cheers

[Stovebolt]

I don't have the issue of CKD, so I'll check R&P

[THAT MONSTER KID]

yeh its in ckd 2 i have r&p from issue 4 and theres not a actual coverage of the car that i can remember but i could be wrong. still one of my fave hotrods too. sucks to hear it got pulled down and sold off.

Antipodean nickname for the '46 Ford pickup,the grill looks like jail bars.
as opposed to the barrel nose ( '39) which in typical down under style is known as a "beer barrel" Ford;)

I bought my T off of him. He boxed the frame and I bought it as a "roller", thats him in the background. There is a 6 page feature on him and the car in Rolls and Pleats #4 and a shot of the motor on the cover of Rolls and pleats #6. That was a pretty inspirational little car because he built it on such a tight budget and he was a young kid at the time..

I can be wrong, maybe there were just a couple of pictures of it... I'll try to check it out

[Jerry_Rolls&Pleats]

Does anyone know where is Jimmy McCord now? Has he built anything recently? I remember hanging out with him when he was living in Denver in 1997 (I was living in Denver too). Great guy!

PS: Yes that's right about the car being featured in #4 of my mag (2001).
