I'm back, LA was great! Bob

Glad to see you back. Do you still have your uncles car? That car was a lot of inspiration for mine.

 

Bugatti?

 

Checking in, had to change out the pressure plate this week, got it all buttoned up yesterday.

 

Yes! Here is the story behind it, I'd meet the owner that lost in a poker game years ago, a really nice guy. Bob

 

Hey thanks!!

Oh yeah! I see it every day. Looking at me, staring at me. Waiting for me. It’s sitting just the same.

Life and other priorities have kept me busy with other stuff. But, I hope to get back to some fun roadster stuff soon!

Well, my guess that it was in a cargo hold of the Titanic wasn't really that far off. Cool in a kinda weird way.

GUYS

THE UPDATES AREN'T UPDATING

IT'S BEEN FUN.

THANK YOU

 

JUST GOT A C CRANK FROM A FELLOW HAMB'er FOR THE '28 CHEVY ENGINE (OR THE '22)...

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE LEAVING THE THREAD, JIM!!!

 

The updates never are perfect. I find if I check in too often that breaks the update mechanism. I have a bookmark in my favorites at the top of my browser to https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/watched/threads .

Now this may take you to my unread watched threads but you get the idea. Just click on that link and you see right away if anything needs looking at and you can relax and enjoy..

 

I have the same link bookmarked - I believe it does a search for the user who is logged in.

 

I don't really know what I'm checking into, but I'll check in. Seems like all the cool kids are???

 

Showing off the Mallory dist and Stewart Warner tach drive I recently installed. Tach is a Jaeger C-11.

 

I'm still upright and able to take nourishment

 

And Bob, Mullins' "Bug" DO(sic.) need to be "Freshened Up" before they put on the track..EH?

 

just a couple of pictures of a Gemsa conversion I once had, because today is my birthday.

 

Happy Birthday!

 

Well, Happy Birthday!!
not only is the motor nice, where is the chassis, that looks nice too!!
