Sid,
Might want to consider trailering the car to The Parts Peddler show and swap meet in Jan at the NYS fair grounds in Syr.Corkey who owns The Parts Peddler magazine has run that show for yrs and is a really nice guy to deal with.

I've never been to that show. I didn't know they have cars on show there that aren't from someone's business??

Sid

Hey welcome to the club. I'm fromAuburn so were about 8 miles from each other. Great looking car.

Thanks Chevy37!
We've probably passed each other one time or another!

Sid

With that great looking deuce, I'm afraid you would probably pass me more than the other way around. That's got to be putting out 500HP or better and my little built 305 is wailing at 303 HP. That's a great looking shop you have. and the nice thing about it is it's clean looking. Ever worked on flatheads?

Yea- I never dyno'd the engine but I would think that's about right.
I like to keep a clean shop. I don't like a lot of clutter. Can only work so much then have to clean up.
Never worked on flat heads. Owned two '37 V8-60's. One was a tin side.
Never got them running though. Sold them to a guy that had a miget car.

Some warm day this spring you'll have to let me know where you live so I can stop over with my 37. Bart

Bart- OK, The cars are all put to bet for the season.
Just waiting for the salt to be washed off the roads in the spring!
We sure use a lot around central NY.
Now is the time to build and straighten out all those little thing you wanted to do in the summer but didn't want the car down.
I'd like to change my front tires from a 195 15 to a 155 15, but my 6" wide Legacy rims are too wide. I have them for sale in the parts for sale area here.
Know anybody tat could use a set?
The 5'" wide lagacys are about 495 ea, so I need to sell these off first.
Also making a new shifter handle. That's being milled out as I type!
I love my mill!!

Sid

Wish I had the knowledge to work on a mill. Old school guy like myself started with flatheads in the 50's and have worked on a bunch of them and have rebuilt one. Never learned like you have but always trying to teach myself new tricks. Built my 37 using a Pacer front end which gave me a rack and pion and disc breaks fro the front. Have a 9" ford(can't rember where I pulled it from) but the gears are to high(2:76). Want to change from my 350 tranny to a muncie 4 speed but don't know if I have the room. Might have to move the firewall farther forward and maybe the 86 bench seat back. Only 5'10," but still driving with my knees almost touching the steering wheel.
