Thank You! It's been driving me crazy!

I think those are primer cups built into the spark plug- mac

It's the same car. Here is another picture, along with the windshield (but it is broken). Look at the stickers. Also I have the original wheels, tires, moon caps, part of the grill, dropped axle, and the aluminum firewall he built. It was not an East Coast build either. It was built in Nebraska and never left. Also the mount for the tach is still on the dash. I have a better picture that shows the stickers better but I have to scan it.

 

awsome find ...keep the build posted so i can follow it ...in the 1st picture the car has a mean ass stance will you be restoreing it to be like the 1st picture or will you put your own signature on it ...

 

that is a "Primer Plug" add some gas to the cup open the valve and you have primed that cylinder. Very popular feature and vary collectable today. Most have the lever 180% from were these are, maybe a display space problem and they have the pionted down.

 

That is the Cornelien, driven by Louis Chevrolet in the 1915 INDY 500 finished 20th. car had a 103CI engine the smallest in the field the DePalma winning Mercedes had 274CI.

 

Wow, that is cool. What did I miss, how'd ya find it?

 

What a stance. that thing is hammered!

 

Great 3Window, I think we adverage one '32 3Window find per month on the HAMB, looks like you have the Winner for September. Will this be a restoration to how it was or an upgrade to how you'd like it? Please keep the project updated.

 

Awesome find, and very well preserved. Are you going to restore it back to how it was in the picture, with the exception of the blower?

 

Speechless..Great score.

 

Speechless congratulations on a terrific find .

Another piece of our rich history discovered.

 

Dude that is radical, great score!!!

You're a GIRL...GIRLS aren't supposed to find these...

Huge fan of this car and hope you bring it back to as it was when drag raced. Great score and please keep us in the loop as you put har back together.

 

I was waiting for this one! I'll bet I can get it sideways as fast as you! Your too funny! I loved your car, now change your name you big faker .
First goal is Bonneville 2010 as a tribute to the builder and to check one off my bucket list!

 

I'm VERY curious as to how the frame was done in the original build? was it heavily Z'd or was there just no interior room? the steering wheel and column looks pretty high in the old pics.

great thread,,, interesting read and pics,,,congratulations on the car,,,i love rods and kustoms with history,,

 

I'm so proud of you! Luv ya,,,,,,,,,UNCLEE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

busted......but my '56 pickumup has 3w's...

 

my god.

 

Dave,
The floor was cut out along with part of the subframe ( from just rear of the door to the rear support-see pic). I talked to Casey about this and he said that is how they did back then to allow the body's subrails to be slipped under the frame and bolted to the bottom of the frame.

 

Kathy it was a pleasure going to pick up the coupe with you...at least if I don't have one, I was part of this for 3 days....I had a blast..even driving 1,000 miles in a day...I'll go back to the beaver crossing any time....Luv ya...Bill

 

Congrats on the find of a lifetime!
Like your goal for Bonneville 2010, nice tribute. Keep us upto date!
