    Whoops, sorry if I duplicate some..........


    This little modified was really something. He built the entire body out of Mahogany! It wasn't cheezy either, did a nice job. Took him like 6 years I think he said. He is now building a woodie station wagon.

    Nice pics, Don.

    I like to see "real" old school cars. It's good to see how it was actually done "in the day".

    The wood car looks better than I would have thought.

    Don,

    That '26 T was a good illustration of how they were built "back than." It's a lot different than a lot of folks think. Split bones and no drop on the axle. I was a bit surprised to see the coil-overs. Later addition, maybe?

    A little OT, but it's amazing how much that 51 Cad V8 looks like a small block Chevy. When I first glanced at the picture, that's what I thought it was.

    Seems like I remember reading that the same engineers worked on both engines in the 40's and 50's and that the Chevy was just a refinement of the Cad design.

    It's sure easier to get to the spark plugs on the Caddy heads - especially with headers.

    That would be Ed Cole, brilliant engineer/manager who led the transformation of Chevrolet from a stodgy family car to performance legend. If you do a web search there are lots of articles/bios enumerating his move from Cad to Chev in the early 50's.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
