Great Story Ron! We haven't talked since Bonneville 15 years ago. That's certainly an almost unbelievable turn of events and it involves a deuce...
For a driver in steel it's got to be at least 50k. Mine has 130k miles and numerous mechanical rebuilds but I wouldn't part with it for double that.
When the mind is weak the body must suffer.
I found a '34 Tudor while working in Minnesota, and had to pump up one tire to put it on the trailer. It hadn't run since 1967, but had red...
Wanup (Sudbury) Ontario
Waterdown Ontario has a new location, but the tradition of a dirty knuckle type of meet continues. Harold's gone but not forgotten.
I've had Fords, Fergusons, and now have a Massey-Ferguson with live PTO which is a must for brush cutters and snowblowers. My neighbor has a '40's...
My 3 window is an imperfect driver, I'll send a shot when I get out of the bush.
I had a Caddie SUV parked right up the pipes on my deuce. I started it up and a blip on the throtttle tickled his alarm. A real good rap set it...
Dogs are OK if they are stuffed and mounted in the back seat of a Volvo station wagon.
I've got a barn car '34 Tudor that's decent and complete that I'd trade anytime for a '57 Custom 300 or Ranchero. Hot rods are my thing but I'd...
I've got a 390 GTA, and with an Edelbrock carb and a reasonably light foot I got 20+ miles per gallon. Besides, it would still surprise a lot of...
I got hassled by a fuzz officer for no fenders in the rain. I took a couple of years before I stuck them back on and redid the frame in the...
This is not that strange for farm boys; early Ford/Ferguson tractor rad shrouds will work on a deuce/A rad with some modificaton.
I had a friend that worked at a Ford plant. Cars for foremen were always marked on the line. Unpopular foreman often had "rattlers" such as ball...
I've got a '34 with that knob, a guy from Texas was interested but it wouldn't loosen easily so there it stays. Thanks for the history, now I know...
I still do this so I must be a slow learner. Everytime I burn something with oxyacetylene I kneel down after to examine my handiwork and put my...
In Ontario Canada it has ti be Waterdown, lots of early Ford stuff and no foreign exchange students selling recycled undergarments.
Denny Lesky at Ionia hot Rod Shop makes excellent deuce frames with an OEM appearance. I believe he uses American Samping rails.
Why don't you do it at Waterdown on the 25th of September, that's got to have more hardcore rodders than any other event in Ontario. Oh, I forgot,...
What! No air-conditioned box trailers and power parking? Where's the megabuck builder's cars? Great stuff guys, this is where the rod and custom...
Putting a Ford engine into my deuce.
Keep the car; a loan may cost you less than the likely future appreciation in value. I chopped mine only because that's what I liked and the hell...
This is a gasser, that's all you did with station wagons up until they became fashionable (or faddy?).
It seems the fuzz up here don't have enough to do; I ended up putting fenders back on my deuce while the cop that bought my roadster in Toronto...
All of the above are great although the Mcgee car was always the Scritchfield car to me. However, the Grabowski T in Life magazine was the...
If you have skunks hanging around, drizzle a bit of diesel oil on their path; they hate it and bugger right off.
How about ebay bids being a fair estimate of actual value?
Checkout the Finnish Hot Rod Association and Baltic Hot Rod Association web sites with google; you might need the translator.
The "invested" line is always interesting; did this guy build something to drive or to flog?
Separate names with a comma.
