But I sure wish that I’d bought the one my brother Bob had and you redid, as that Tub was the one!!!!!
Thank you everyone! I’m getting excited as it gets closer to looking like a car Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I also picked up some other goodies to eventually go on the car. If anyone has a choke horn for a Winfield SR-BB carb, please let me know Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
From what @Cyclone Kevin mentioned above, was it you that owned/own the tub with the surfboard? I have pictures of it that I saved from the Ford Barn a while back as inspiration. Do you remember what size rear tires you put on it? I like the way they fill the fenders.
Alchemy, he knew the louvers are backwards, but they should work fine as long as I drive in reverse Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Better cooling as they work as owner derived “Ram Air” . I’d run it!!!!! It’s a helluva conversation piece.
If you’ve got some hi-res pix, zoom in on the rears and see if you can make em out. I’d guess that Tim ran 7:00-16’s to fill those wells. It did our PRC RR in 2010. Who says those bangers can’t hang? This one and the T-Tub that Tim followed this up with were fantastic Hot Rods that have lived many lives before. I rode in both at different places in time.
I don't have any high-res pictures, but from what I can see, they look like a high floatation or balloon tire, as opposed to the 7.00 - 16 Firestones that I have. Course, it could just be the picture being deceptive. Thanks for the input though!
I’ve been working on wiring the engine, getting the battery tray installed, and bracing the body. A bunch of little but necessary projects. No exciting pictures
It runs!! I hooked up the torque tube and drove it down the street. It stalled and didn’t want to start again. The carb was bone dry, so I think I have a clog in the gas line. I’m chasing that down now, but it drove and stopped for a minute. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I pulled the tank and derusted the inside. While it was off, I cleaned up some dents and painted some cowl parts. One step closer to driving... Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
LOOKING GOOD!!!! You gonna have it together and road ready for the Model A Pancake breakfast on April 22??
Thanks everyone!! Billy, I’m trying to get it buttoned up for the pancake breakfast, then come out to el mirage with you guys in May. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I have mine up up stands at the moment, gotta drop the pan and see the source of this little knock I developed last week. El Mirage is just around the corner!
Phae tons of fun. Modified a minivan seat to fit up front, made a tail light bracket and working on headlight mount that I like. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
