I am thinking of retiring and becoming a whisky runner. Gotta work out some padding, maybe some refrigeration for the trunk compartment.
You might want to double check that job. Bootlegging requires a lot of gravel road at high rates of speed. Are you sure you want to put your car through that**)**):LOL:
I'm aiming at the high end
So after studying how I will carry things in my hidden trunk I came up with the idea that I could use Kaisen Foam and pretty much design different scenarios ranging from tools to mason jars. I think it is going to turn out really nice. Also used heat barrier on the floorboard.

Do you plan on any runs to Florida? I'll take a couple Jars!
My grandfather spent a few weeks in Florida back during prohibition. While he was there, some guy approached him with a business proposition. This fellow owned a boat, but he needed a motor. He wanted to take on a partner, they would use the motor from Grampa's Model T in the boat. They could then start hauling hooch from Cuba to Florida. Grandpa passed on that opportunity.
My grandfather and his brothers would meet the rum runners down on the Gulf Coast and transport the Rum back up to north central Mississippi where it was distributed nationwide
My son-in-law is designing a guitar to go along with the 33. He hasn't finished the concept yet but this is the start. I am very proud of this.

Nice! I'm an audiophyle in that I restore old analog stereo components from speakers, turntables, tape decks to vintage marantz pioneer, ect.. receivers.
I recently saw a pair of speakers that were designed in Switzerland using the concept of a guitar and how tones are generated, here is a review of those speakers with a few pictures, just thought they were so cool and interesting Soundkaos 40 loudspeakers

Getting on towards the final buffing. Ran the car with the hood closed at idle for an hour with no air flowing and it cooled fine, no heat problems at all.

Pulled the trigger on a Coverking Satin Stretch Indoor Car Cover recently. I chose the British Racing Green.

love the car and your collection of early iron.
We've all made the wrong assumption that the iron you see is his.. It's not. It belongs to the shop his car is at. Other customer cars and projects.Quote:

I chose their satin stretch figuring it would be lighter and the stretch fit would not tend to vibrate against the paint due to breezes or other things that cause vibrations. I like working with them, they sent me color swatches of the material outer layer. I chose the British Racing Green. I wish they had an embroidery option like other vendors but since they don't, I will have the guy that did my interior follow up on that. Here are the material swatches against he car.

I like the tan myself.. I know you didn't ask! ROTFLMAO!
Good to hear a company wants to work with their customers.
I don't disagree, had I seen the Tan before I pulled the trigger I might have gone with it. As it stands, I may have the car name, ETHYL embroidered in the Tan. It looks almost gold BTWQuote:

It has taken over a year to get this thing done to the level it is. I've been looking at a C-10 to play with
It's hard to pass up a good C10. What year group?
71 with a fresh 454 in it
So went in with a friend at Ready Motorsports in Mannford Oklahoma on the C10. We are deciding whether to go with the 454 or the LQ9. I like the old school but we can probably get 500 who from the LQ9 NA. I'll start a new build thread once we get things lined up. Here are some teasers.

That thing is incredible. Can I ask what a pickup like that would sell for down there? I sometimes wonder why we fix the things we do up here. I can't even remember when the last time I seen a newer GMC like in the back ground that didn't have rust holes in the side of the box.
Running they are going for 10-15000 all day long
That is a very, very, nice and highly desired truck currently. It will be hard to loose money on it IMO. I mean, that thing is a POS, sell it to me. :LOL:
On another note, we brought the Hot Rod Home. When I registered it in 2015 they registered it as a classic. Turns out that was wrong and I had to reregister it as a custom Hot Rod. Good news is I won't have to have annual inspections. Bad news is I had to have the ASE Safety Certification redone.

Took the wife out for a cruise Saturday, the day after brining it home. Beautiful day. The car really pops out in the sunlight.

Scored a set of Vortec heads. These are 062 castings. Took them to machine shop and asked if I could take pictures. Asked me if I wanted to run the machine. Was a great day, learned a lot.

Yes, the sky sure got dark! Thanks for the pics tho'''
BTW, what's a "Local GTG tonight" ?
Local Get ToGether = GTG. My insurance requires I only drive to shows or events.
You need different insurance, IMO. My insurance does not limit me like that.
agreed, just had a low end while the car was being finished
How was Milner doing? :LOL:

Greg Birmingham is building me a Guitar to match the Hot Rod. He has been making good progress. I am pretty excited about the outcome. The pick Guard is made after the shape of the 33 Grille.
