History Old hot rod found!

And another one this weekend!! August 21 2016

 

Quick video of me starting the flathead after over 50 years in storage.

 

Is this at the mall in Sydney?

 

Nope this is downtown Langford, Sidney B.C. Canada was last week.

 

This 1934 Austin Hearse was also there. Thought you guys might interested in seeing it.

 

And another car show !! Aug. 27 2016

 

And another car show !! Sept. 10 2016

 

You put me to shame with your show attendance John, maybe because inside I'm actually a grumpy old man (unlike yourself).

 

I've seen you a few times this year. #1 at Ford and Friends. #2 and 3 at Deuce Days. # 4 and 5 at Keith' s house. That's pretty good for a busy young guy !

 

Not to hijack your thread but next summer I should be driving around in this instead

 

OMG !! I forgot Ford and Friends July 17, 2016

 

The Chev bucket is going to get a bit of a face lift, it has a modified brass Ford Model T grill shell on it now and I always thought it might look better with a Chevrolet grill shell. After all it is a 1918 Chev!! Well guess what thanks to my good friend Keith we found one! I have to fix it up a bit, paint it and modify it to fit over the radiator. Can anybody tell me what year it is? Thanks

 

Very nice John, that will look great. I take back what I said on Saturday about the Whippet grille. Ron

 

Chev grill painted and installed. I think it's a 1926.

 

Nice work, John!

 

Gloria has been running around topless all summer and fall. She showed up today with her top on.

 

Nothing like a Ford powered Chevy.

 

Made a new seat for the Chevbucket and had it upholstered. Now I will sit in the car not on it.

 

More pics of the Chevrolet grill shell installed.

 

New grill is a great addition...I like it much better..

 

Made up some zoomie exhaust extensions out of some Model A rear end housings and installed them.

 

Took the Chevbucket to the Ford and Friends car show today.

 

H.A.M.B. member internet was there also with his new car.

 

Thanks for the pic, always a pleasure seeing you sir.

 

At the Oak Bay car show this weekend.

 

She's looking good John..

 

Thanks Ron The Chevbucket would look even better with your cool combo light, turn signals license plate bracket on the back of it.

 

I can't give you everything John.

 

John's shoes are on backwards. Leading shoe on early Ford is the 'working' shoe, or 'long one'!

Great move on the lower seat! (1962: my old bud 'Hemi Henry' built a '17 Dodge on original '17 Dodge rails, very pretty...the body and rails had a factory 'pinch' at the cowling. 392 Chrysler Hemi, '37 LaSalle box, '40 Ford rear, '37 V8 60 front tube. Seat way too high, felt uneasily 'top heavy' riding in it! He sold it to the policeman that wrote him over 7 tickets! That was 1976)

 

Changed the brake shoes so the long ones are on the front on all four corners. Thanks Atwater Mike for pointing this out to me. Also added brake air scoops on the front while I was at it.
