I'm in

 

I'm in for warm days and cool nights, my favorite time to be out roaring around

 

checking in for the month got the roadster project in the shop ready to work on this winter View attachment 4804130

 

I'm here... Gotta find me a new car phone. I'm told this one is not period correct..

 

czek'd in

Checking in from Cheyoming!

 

Checkin' in. Took the Coupe to GOW at Prescott Hillclimb over the weekend. Performed faultlessly as overladen camping chariot on the 160 mile drive down at a steady 55-65, surprisingly well as hillclimb missile once emptied of tools and stuff, but copious revs over the weekend have caused a rod to politely knock for some attention. The last 40 miles or so nursed her home OK. After 12 years of abuse, in three different vehicles and thousands of miles I guess it'll be the civil thing to do to open up the sump and give the required restorative action to my favourite diamond B... photo by John Isaacs

 

Burl, you've got mail

 

Checking in , hope all are well

 

Checking in. Smokin' at Prescott.

 

This might be better

 

Bead blasting and the smell of old gear oil..

 

Checking in.gonna swap in a 5.5 head in the next couple days.pics to follow

 

You should be happy with the improved power. I was with mine.

Maybe these guys could find me a race to run! Actually this is a photo taken in the mid 20's at San Luis Obispo's two mile dirt track at Exposition Park!

 

Checking in from down under! Nothing to report...

 

really nice car ............ steve

 

My old banger, not much but all mine.
Enjoy the Banger meets.

 

/\ /\ cool car ,looks like fun!

 

That barrelnose car is just right, in my humble opinion. Nice looking dog, too. I can't imagine a more enjoyable automobile for a dog to ride in. That's a compliment, by the way.

 

I hope to do some tuning for the F.A.S.T. Iowa hillclimb Sept 12

 

Barrelnose, bet she ran like a pup!

 

We'll stay tuned...

No Trailer Queen. This Ride is the KING of The Road..

 

Just picked up this little roadster, picking up a downdraft intake this weekend and some 35 ford wires.

Does anyone know the length of the board required to adjust the brakes? The car easily makes it up to 40mph, coming back to 0 on the other hand is another story.
