1928 Schumacher Special (early hot rod)

Amazing car and love the details in your build you sir are a true Craftsman

 

That's great to know!

Hopefully everything will start moving positively forward for all of us in the not too distant future!

 

And to think some of the guys were giving me a hard time for taking 10 years to build my RPU all by myself

 

So NEXT Summer I should have my goggles cleaned and ready to go.

your dads on the home stretch and the builder puts you on the back burner. sounds like some the the builders i dont use any more. cool project, hope to see it come alive soon

 

Any updates on the engine? Can't wait to see this awesome project finished!

 

Car & owner are well, but an equally as interesting thread got killed by a monarator so I doubt updates on this project will be posted any time soon. Bob

 

That would be a shame.

 

I've gotten over being pissed about the hot rod cord thread being locked for no apparent reason. But don't have any great updates. I've been calling engine builder twice a month to plead with him. We have very little left to do before the motor can be dropped in to the chassis.

 

It's been a long time. Anything new happen on this?

 

I'll be at least 71 years old when I get my promised ride in it around the Lime Rock track. I'll send him a message and let him know he's missed. Bob

 

It went to the engine shop in May. Because we screwed up and didn't make a mockup of the radiator when we had the chance, we need to drop a block in and either mockup it up or take a lot of good measurements. Chuck Niles in Maine agreed to build it.

 

Just thought I'd look for some progress here. Is the engine still in jail at the engine builder?

 

Awesome thank you

 

He is promising to work on it. So close...

 

That is a 20 hour drive from his new place isn't it?

 

And we have some progress...

 

YES! Not everyone can have four Winfields on one engine, stacks look very nice! Merry Christmas!

Bob

 

we need to see you grudge against a rajo and a hal--real old board track style!

 

My money is on the STUTZ

 

Mock up engine dropped in to make a form for the radiator and to fabricate the manifolds.

 

Looking good! Never knew you collected crankshafts. Bob

 

Good to see progress! I don't recall seeing Winfield's mounted 90% out, is linkage going to be a problem?

 

So cool! Subscribed!!

 

Bob,

I think we have it figured out.

 

Any progress on this beauty ?

 

We have been mocking up the radiator and working on the exhaust. Both are a big project. I'll try to get some pictures next time I'm out there.

 

Looks like there will be a few hours spent on the exhaust header. Good to see progress being made. Bob
