My friend’s ‘32 Roaster with 383 stroker sbc, 3 speed and halibrand quickchange roadster...scary fast. Ive seen this engine throw fan belts right off the pulleys up into the air on 3 occasions lol

 

Beautiful! Love the early '30s Fords! And glad to see it's not been chopped.

 

My old man has one sitting in his garage under all his crap. 356a. This is our next project to tackle together. All original parts just waiting to be put back together.

 

And this is right behind the Porsche. Just installed "new" original motor in it and she purrs like a kitten now

 

My 1930 that I drove for 25 years.

 

That’s going to be a great project. Beautiful car.

 

A picture, of a picture, of my chevelle/Malibu at a local car show a few years back.

 

For sure!! Its been garaged for 30 years so it's about damn time!!

 

‘48 ford? Flatheads....nothings sounds like em

 

1948 plymouth woody P15 217 cu. in, 95hp. "New" engine, 101hp.

 

Buick Nailhead...

 

yup, it's a buick nailhead v8, clear on that. I've run one myself in a model a roadster i built in 2003. mine was a 322.
not sure if my friends is a 322 or 364, but im pretty sure it's a 364. it's def not the big block nailhead.

they had em in 264, 322, 364, 401, and 425.

 

i wonder if its the same flat 6 they used in the ‘48 plymouth Cranbrooks?

i think theres some dual carb intakes for those old flat 6’s if you wanted to “hop it up” lol

 

Here’s one of only a few i have of my ‘28 ford model A rpu i built in ‘05.
This was when i got it on the road initially for Billetproof car show
It had at the time a ‘39 ford transmission, ‘40 ford banjo rearend, and mildly hopped up four A-banger. Tattersfield dual carb hi-rise intake with a pair of stromberg 81’s. A winfield mild cam, hi compression police mode head, and wico magneto. Thats my newlywed friends in the front and me in the bed at my friends shop where i built it.

 

Then i tore it completely apart and had an old bulgarian gentleman named Kirol Popov do all the body repairs

 

Where is it now?

 

It was later painted Ford washington blue, and i drove it for 6 months, and sold it to A Bonneville salt flat racer up in Redding to get cash quick as i got custody of my 10 year old son.
The dash gauge panel is from a 50’s Mercruiser boat lol

i built that entire rpu for $6000.
It was 100% original sheet metal peiced together off ads from the Jalopy Journal and Fordbarn

 

long gone and parted out last i heard.
I dont have many digital photos of it. Most of em are on film that i took with my old canon A1 35mm camera. It was a dark time- i was deep in alcoholism and so it came and went like alot of things in my life then. 12.5 years sober now. Life is much different.... now i am in the process of gathering parts to build another roadster. This time it will be with me till i die. Planning on a 1929 roadster pickup on 32 rails. Nailhead v8, s10 5 spd transmission, open drive to 40 ford banjo with a quickchange rear center. Juice brakes etc. pretty traditional 50’s hotrod.
