34 Roadster SCTA survivor 4 day slam
About 5 years ago my buddy was handed down his dads 34 Roadster. Been sitting in a little alley way garage down in L.A. In the late 40's his dad and buddy traded cars, at the time his dad owned a 38 Ford coupe, so they swapped the 34 Roadster, rumble for the 38 though they kept there motors.
The two belonged to the Gear Grinder, SCTA. His dad ran the 34 full Fendered, Piped roll cage bolted to the floor, the dash is a 40, 39 i always get it mixed up, leaded in, leaded filled ash trays, Early Block Edelbrock heads, Adjustable Lifters, Aluminum Fly Wheel, side shift tyranny with a Lincoln cluster, 40 Colum shift, 40 Juice brakes, 40 master, 36 drive shaft headers, brazed right to the Ol headers, D&S intake, big logo 97's that were perfect inside and out, we didn't even rebuild they didn't even leak, squirted gas perfect, performed perfect.
Body is in a unbelievable shape, We opened the top for the 1st time since 54, popped it on, and went to town.
Ran new brake lines, fuel lines, new wheel cylinders, shoes, fuel pump, tank was perfect inside. Made a ol style wiring harness, went through tones of boxes and found everything to reassemble it. changed the oil, new head gaskets, checked the fluids, and off we went in 4 days

Very neat car and story to go with it. BTW, the dash is a '40. The '39 dash would be comparatively flat, with two round gauge units above the column.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
