Hot Rods Let's have our own 84th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

I'm not gonna go there, you can't make me!
Besides, I already licked the spoon.

 

I would like to see a side view of this if available, cool car for sure.

 

I only took one picture. The hood is a modified chevrolet AD truck, with a homemade grille.

 

Saturday evening going to our local show.

 

March 10, 2016 the coupe leaves storage to go get inspected for the year. Earliest ever! Talked to RonnieRoadster in CT and he said he had the deuce roadster out and commented it was earliest for him too. In the 50s here today, overcast with heavy rains tonight.

 

In the 70's and 80's down here this week, but I'm still leary because March can be a bitch around these parts!
My car is in the body shop or I would be driving the wheels off of it. So here's a picture from last summer.

stance is stance when looking at the side shot, '39 or '40, from my humble perspective

 

This is my old 40. It was sold by Tall Paul at the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona around 2004. Anyone know where it is now? Someone in the Naples area supposedly bought it.

 

LOL. That's a shot I took of Jerry Eckholdt's "Booger", on its debut in Springfield.

 

Here's my friend Johnny Hammonds 40 at last falls "geezer gathering" in Wichita. Apparently he's had it a long time but this is the first time I've seen it. Neat car!

 

Never saw wipers resting like these, must be trick to this I'm not aware of.

 

Shoot, i.rant I was so bedazzled by the beautiful black paint and killer stance I never noticed the wipers.... It would be interesting to see if they actually work in that configuration.

 

I'll ask him about the wipers next time I see him. I usually see him at the Chill motorcycle show but I didn't this year. I hope he's doing ok.

 

Bet he has not tried the wipers yet.

 

Is that a Newport kit that is at rest towards the center of the windshield?

 

Mine is a Newport and yes they rest towards the center of the windshield.

 

Thanks Dave, mine is Drake and can't seem to adjust the sweep very good.

 

Newport are best I have used but BOTH point to center.

 

Love those Hot Rod Garage (MD) 40's.

 

39 guy, these guys are OBVIOUSLY not from the PNW...

 

Copy that, I just saw on the Seattle news it has rained 18 days in a row over there. Not quite as bad on the East side of the mountains but we are setting rain records this month. Last Sunday it snowed all day here. I hope it gets a little dryer here soon as the coupe is about ready to get sprung from upholstery prison and I would like to drive it without having to clean it after every drive.

 

Same here, I am right on the coast about 20 miles inland from the straight, it has rained almost continuously since mid January. Really just cleared up yesterday, supposed to stop till Saturday, first real stretch of clear weather in months. I gotta cut the grass and get back to work on my garage!

Stolen from the Canadian Hot Rod History page on the 'ol FB.

 

found an interior shot of my old 40 black diamond greenline gauges chrome garnish mouldings and dash

 

Heres another Vancouver Island car from back in the day...Starfires, I can dig it...

 

I usually think most car names are kind of corny and trite, but this one is perfect.
