We got it!

So here it is. Its a 1939 Ford Tudor Standard. It looks like it has lived its life in Minnesota, and has spent many many years in a barn. Its very complete. Jim (Bubba) and I went to pick it up a couple days ago.

The Plan:

Get it running/driving from the ground up, pretty can come later.

Some newer tires, go thru the brakes and front end are the 1st things on the list. We should get going soon. Stay tuned for many more pics, videos and info!

*******Breaking News********

This just in...Looks like I just struck a deal on this:

It looks like the Flathead has found a home!

Stay tuned, film at 11:00.

Been a long time...

Progress has been slow, but that's ok. Here is more car porn. Just got the intake back from the polisher today. Pretty cool huh?

Another Cool Find.

Helping clean out a storage unit (former hot rod shop) on Gasoline Alley today I picked up another cool piece.  This is a Marvel Mystery Oil Inverse Oiler, or Top End Lubricator.  You mount this contraption on the firewall, and run a small line to the carb, and it injects a small amount of Marvel Mystery Oil.  It keeps the top end lubed, which is needed on the Flathead. 

Short but sweet.

Got some cool old Hot Rod parts today.

How about a Sun Tach from the late 40's, with a NOS sending unit.  Oh yeah....there still is a Grant Flamethrower coming.  Now to see if we can make it all work!

Slow but sure.

I have a couple of updates for ya!  Last week Bubba & I channeled out inner artist and painted my flathead engine. 

Here is a before pic....fresh from the builder...



And after...

How about that????



Just an update!

Progress is a little slow going right now, but that is ok.  I will pick up soon.  We sent a box of Holley 94's to Speedy today (SpeedJunkee) for some of his special carb magic.  Within just a short time he will have a set of matched 94's ready to go, colored and re-plated, and good as new!  I will post pics asap. 

Oh yeah, a little progress on this too....

And it should look like this installed...
