    Lew picked me up today for a ride in his recently refurbished 1938 Ford coupe. Went over to show it off to Lee at LG Speed & Kustom in Victoria. One sweet running flathead engine in this car! 100_6526.JPG 100_6527.JPG 100_6528.JPG 100_6529.JPG

  10. That's a great looking coupe! It's actually a club coupe and only about 7000 of those models were originally made!
    I have one in my garage and would love to get it looking half that nice. Does Lew have more pictures of it available online?

    Went with Lew today in his 38 Ford coupe for lunch then off to Bo's house to see his recently finished 37 Ford sedan. That flathead engine in Lew's car sounds really nice and it's got lots of get up and go!! Bo's car is powered by a 351 Cleveland engine.:) 100_7294.JPG 100_7295.JPG 100_7298.JPG 100_7300.JPG View attachment 5536815 View attachment 5536816

    i have seen this pop up as well in LG speed and kustom you tube videos. I also spotted it Deuce days. Nice to find the full back story on it gives you a real appreciation for what this car is

    Hi Rob, thanks for the kind words the Chevbucket is safely tucked away for the winter. I have started a new project a 1927 Model T roadster pickup another unfinished project started by someone in Langley B.C. in 2002 I'm told. My goal is to have it on the road by springtime for under 10 grand. Hopefully it will turn out as good as the Chevbucket!! Cheers John

    Picked up a good running 283 chev small block the other day and installed it in the car. I heard it running on a engine test stand before I bought it. It as an Isky cam a Eldelbrock Torker manifold using a Carter AFB carburetor. Using a Powerglide tranny which I already had. A minor modification to both engine mounts and it fit in the car perfectly. 100_8440.JPG 100_8441.JPG 100_8442.JPG 100_8443.JPG 100_8444.JPG 100_8445.JPG 100_8446.JPG 100_8448.JPG 100_8450.JPG

    The ace of spades is coming along nicely! Still way under my budget of $10 thousand to build this car. Of course I do everything myself other than finish welding. 100_8451.JPG
