Went by a friend's shop... took some random pics

Coupla motors outside... POS Y-Block, 322 Buick with big tranny, Flattie with headers out of a '49 coupe with a bunch of Crestliner stuff on it, 331 Cad with Hydramatic.


The dash in his '51..


The dash in his friend's '49.


His coupe. Might be up for grabs..



neat Weiand high rise


W block with 6 deuces always looks good. I like how he uses '52-4 Olds valvecovers to keep dust outta the carbs and to hold misc bolts. haha

 

haha right just some random pics huh. Thats some very cool random stuff.

 

That's like the first time I saw Bass's shop. It was like being in a museum. I got such a kick out of it.

 

hehe... there's more there, but thats all I snapped a pic of. haha

 

I love the stripping on the dashes, very subtle and elegant, adds a lot of class like pinstriping should. Tons of cool stuff though, wish i had that kind of pile of parts.

 

That's ol Frank Palmer's handy work. Been pinstriping since '59 or '60 if I remember right.

 

interesting looking stuff

 

Why are Y-blocks a POS ??????

 

Just messin... they're really not bad at all, my friend had a 239 that we couldn't kill and ran like a top, but they shy in comparison to a Caddy.

 

Oh you were scaring me there i have one in my 55 ford a 292 y-block it seems ok....

 

I stopped by a neighbors house earlier in the week. he was putting a 3x2 y-block in a 32 5 window he just found. Looks really good.
