    This thread is a few years old. Any body got something to share that is still serving or has been recently dragged out of hibernation? Mine is 44,000 miles more experienced ( the one that started the thread) Looks a little crummier, still runs great, going to get an OD trans coming up shortly.

    Oh, I'm still at it. Just storing up for future projects. I've got a line on a 32 Plymouth that I'll probably squeeze that 265 into.

    5BABE798-D818-4F1F-8129-1659315CF476.jpeg My latest project -1931 Olds. runs like a top, good torque...a little hard starting when cold. That dxr-2 stromberg is an interesting carb, their first downdraft. Idle mixture is up top and has adjustable main in the side. And yes, that cool air cleaner IS original!

    ] RMR&C -
    Car originally came from up in Pablo.
    Was bought in '70 by a friend of mine. Paint and interior done in 1974-75. Was driven in some parades for the bicentennial then parked. Was driven for his stepdaughter's wedding 15 years ago and parked again. Running gear (even the muffler) is all original.
