Hey everyone just wondering if you all have ever seen these lights before they are on my 31 coupe. do we know how old they are or who sold them?

Also just wondering what the best aftermarket distributor and wires you all would suggest

 

Bluto,
Is that a Fiat Topo? What year?

Did you finish the French panel van ? Any updates?

.

 

Nice CDO!! 28, or 29??

 

Can we get a quick picture tech going on "how to split stock manifolds to make dual exhaust" ?

I have all the parts for an A but was wondering how to do it with a stock updraft intake. Will i have a problem not having the center bolted to the exhaust manifold?

 

Lovely - my kind of tudor

 

Craz

It's -11 outside 2 foot snow ....... all work has come to a stop.

The project in the photo is a 1934 Fiat Ballila Coupe. 1100 cc 4 banger

I have a highspeed rearend, overdrive, OHV engine, Supercharger and Isky cam for this Should touch 100mph when done.

I will start on this one in the Spring. I still need to get our shop warm to work out there.

 

Here's our friend's original coupe

 

Hey Bluto; Do you have an extra one? What a great little coupe, you lucky dog!!
Ron
p.s. I think I'm in love.

 

I've been looking for years for a good one ...... you can't see the scale in the photos but it's 1/2 Ford size........

I don't recall seeing one in No America.

I'm lucky to have my Mrs. This is her Christmas Present

 

From you to her or the other way around?
Ron

 

It's one of my presents to her.......

 

That's going to be a fun little coupe when it's done Bluto! Guess the C4 search is taking a back seat for the moment?

 

Nope ....... I am looking there's always room

How did you do with the sheet music?

 

Nice Bluto, and I thought I was a lucky guy .
"Merry Christmas" to you both,
Ron
