Pictures?

 

Welcome form Williamsburg,VA - nice car, even nicer concept, great work! Keep those pics a-comin!

 

I will need to order some hotrod parts in the usa. do you know some good addresses to whom I could order?

 

if someone needs parts in France, I can take care of it!

 

Change of ideas for the engine simca 5, I will ride a French flathead because I think it will be better with the general look of my hot rod. As it is a French vehicle I think the mixture will be consistent and I'm not looking for power at the moment, for that I'll see later. So this weekend I'm going to get a simca flat-head V8 with its gearbox and a rear axle from simca beaulieu. to be continued

 

Weren't the Simca flat head V8's about the size of the Ford V8-60?

 

Most simca's were with the 60HP engine, but some were delivered new with the 239 cui engine

 

hello, more exactly the engine simca v8 aquilon (mine!) has 80 hp 4400trms. several types of flatheads
the ford several types of bolts simca: aquilon and simca cargo 24v

install shock absorber mounts and load test with a big block 440 mopar block

 

soon the flat head and its gearbox will be in place for a test
