Folks Of Interest YBlock292's 29 Roadster

sweet roadster

 

HAHAHA............cost ya a beer!

 

Like i said............its your fault!

 

Ok I'm sorry I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me!!!!! falker

 

Outstanding job Travis! You couldn't have picked a better subject than Jack and his roadster. AND....Jack IS a great fella, no doubt about it. 'Super job' to both of you!

 

Great job Travis that is one cool car and a very cool guy that owns it ....

 

Jack just emailed me that the dilapidated old barn that some of the stills were taken in front of went up in flames tonight! Damn I liked that location! Who know's maybe it's even cooler now, hope the firefighters are all okay and the property owner didn't lose much, it didn't look like the barn was storing anything when we were there though.

 

Firefighters are still there, talked to the land owner don't know what started the fire but is all gone. Told him if nothing else we had some good pics of the barn. Had 7 fire trucks out here, total loss. Whatta a shame, was so kool.

 

fudpucker and his wife came out, news was it was at my location, nice to know you have friends that look out for you.

 

Jack and Travis, Thanks for the neat video and stills of the neat Y-Block Powered Roadster ! Kind of strikes close to home. My '31 "A" Coupe is being worked on right now. Kind of part of a trade deal to get the "A" completed. Mill is a '57 ECZ block with '58 heads out of a Interceptor Boats cabin cruiser. This is the one with the low profile intake with two Carter side draft carbs. Lots of aluminum on the motor. Front cover, valley pan, intake and oil pan. Also came with Mallory dual point dist. Think it will make a neat mid to late '50s Hot Rod . . . .

Hey Dave, my roadster is flathead powered, my Model a coupe is running the y-block. Sounds like you have a kool build going on, good luck with it, y-blocks are kool and sound great.

 

I've made a bunch of improvements to the video but my site keeps rejecting it after a 2 hour upload so someday maybe I can share it haha.

Thanks again Jack I learned a lot working on this piece!

 

Great Video, I Luv the car!

 

great video Travis and great story telling Larry! not sure which would be better.......seeing your roadster in person or seeing you and 3dnsouth (Tim Payne) chasing each other in your roadsters around Austin!!!

 

I really enjoyed watching the video and hearing the story. I've seen the car around Wichita but i've never met Jack. I hope to one day soon. That's a neat car and he seems like good people. Thanks guys.

 

Hey thanks, will have the roadster in starbirds this weekend, come by and say hi.

 

Man, glad I caught this thread! Great car! Nice job on the video!

 

Thanks "Boss"

 

note to self...ask jack for the keys in dewey...

 

Anything for you Larry

 

I think the wife and I will be down there looking around sometime. Probably Saturday so I will keep an eye out for you. Once again thanks for keeping that cool ol' car going. It sure seems to be in good hands.

 

Guess we should have taken her down to the Revolution huh? There's always this year sir!

 

That car rules! Pretty cool video!
