Projects Holy crap what have i gotten myself into?? Bowling green bound.

enloe,
Great project and the pics of Ethan are absolutely priceless. Make sure you save them well. They grow up FAST, heck, he already looks older than 8.
Happy Wrenching,
Gene

 

If any of you guys have a couple of 15x6 or 15x7 Cragar ss, USslots, or Keystones for the project I would appreciate them. I don't have a lot of bucks but I do trade. I have a lot of 50s thru early Hot Rod, Car Craft, Populuar Hot Rodding, as well as many other titles. Here is a link to some of my stuff and I have tons more.

I will run steel wheels on the back.

Thanks,
Enloe

 

I can't help you with the Cragers, but I'll see you at Bowling Green!

 

looking foward to it. i hope to have some old magazines sitting on the tailgate for sale at the Holiday Inn again

 

Sounds like you're a great Dad. Ethan sure looks "into" what he's doing, and the best thing is "he's loving it". Way to go Dad! I won't make BG again this year. sorry I won't get to meet you and Ethan, maybe next year. Have a great trip! I'm diggin the wagon.

HERE IS A LINK TO OUR PAST 3 "GUY TRIPS" WHEN YOU OPEN IT THERE IS A LINK TO THE 2 BEFORE IT. I HAVE BEEN TO ALL OF THE BOWLING GREEN REUNIONS BUT I DID NOT GO THE YEAR THEY MOVED IT TO COLUMBUS.

Wow. One of my favorite wagon styles. Good luck.

 

NEWS FLASH:
I talked to my wife this afternoon. She was getting ready to go get the "crumbsnatchers" from school and take them to get Ethan's allergy shot.

I got the fittings I believe that I needed to hook the fuel line up. He has been told to have his homework done when I get home and we will hook it up before supper. We will go get some gas and attempt to fire it up.

On another note I talked to an amigo of mine yesterday. He told me that he was pretty sure he had 2 Fentons or 2 Keystones Or Ansens and he would look and let me know. He usually don't get rid of much but he said he would sell me 2 of my choise.

 

Killer project, I still enjoy working on cars with my Dad, he started getting me to help when I was your sons age, and now I fix his car for him

 

That is what i am hoping for.

 

I'll be looking for you at Bowling Green also, good luck with your wagon.

 

I love bowling green
we will be in the campground.

 

well good news bad news.
we had the wrong fittings for the wagon. but we did prime the carb and it fired on about the 4th revolution.

hopefully I will get the right ones tomorrow

 

Do ya know what you need? Maybe someone has fittings they can donate. If I were closer, I'd be there doing everything I can to make it go!

 

I have a friend who has a big shop with a bin full of adapters and fittings and I am taking what I have so we can adapt to it.

 

Fittings found

 

Keep at it enloe.

 

will do, I took the family on a weekend getaway this weekend. we should have it running the first of the week...

 

AWESOME! Can't wait to see you both AND the wagon at BG. I'll have my new wagon there as well. We should try to park next to each other.

 

Geezer Gassers in the far end of the paved pits....always open house.....c'mon by, make ya deal on t-shirts, "hero cards", in the cars for a "trial fit." What a great way to bond with your son and to pass the torch.

 

Your Wagon looks good, mine would make it look even better

 

well it is off to the swap meet and cruise in to sell some old magazines and to try to acquire some wheels. if you are around cleveland tn. come by.

 

Well I went to our local cruise in and swap meet saturday. I sold some magazines and I did some trading. I saw some H.A.M.B.ers also. I traded for 2 wheels they are different makes but they are the same they just have different brand stamped in the same place.One is a E.T. the other is a Delta and they are 14x6. I wanted a 15 and we will see if I can trade them or if I end up using them. here is a pic and a link to the thread that was posted about the cruise in.

I looked at the Cruise-in pics, then HAD to come back to the pics of Ethan workin' on the wagon.......PRICELESS.......now I KNOW it's time for me to pitch in & help....GIT 'ER DUN !

 

We are going to work on it this Wed after work

 

We worked on the wagon tonight. we got everything put on fuel line connected fire it up and nothing. We still are not getting gas. My next step is to put gas in a gallon jug and run a line to it and see if it pulls fuel up to the carb.

Back to the drawing board...

 

Well I went to Bean Station Tennessee to Miller's Auto Parts today because he had a 61 wagon. I was hoping his tailgate was better than mine. It wasn't, I still had a good trip and here is a pic of the wagon he had.

They had 35 or 40 acres of 50s and 60s cars I will post some pics on the cars rotting thread.

 

Love the look your going for! Is it running?

 

i am still having fuel issues hopefully will get it narrowed down this week.

 

Sweet. My dad and I are still pretty far from that point.
