Thursday’s Thoughts

As we grow older we often think about growing up in the early days. I grew up in a small town in Illinois about 150 miles south of Chicago. I was involved in cars from about the age of 13. My father liked cars and had a model B, as he called it. The model B was a tudor sedan and soon became a model 18. Dad installed a flathead of unknown vintage. I have never been a flathead lover as far as power goes, but I love the looks of one all dressed up. The sedan served our family well and I learned to drive it way before I turned 16. I guess that is why I still want to build a Deuce sedan hiboy. Dad’s had fenders, but when it was my car the fenders were stored in the garage. I wonder if they are still there? Nope, dad threw them in the dump along with the car. I moved on to a 53 Chevrolet and forgot about Deuces for the next few years. The Chevy had lots of room for the girlfriend and I made it a full custom like Moonglow. I was really something. My friend Dave and I entered shows and won all the trophies. College was next and the dream of working for General Motors came true. The Chevrolet was the only car to own in my town, but the thought of the Deuce never left my mind. Upon arriving in Detroit in 1965, I found a 5 window and have not been without a Deuce of some sort ever since.

Thanks, Dad.

Stay Tooned!

My Dad’s wasn’t this good but it was perfect for me at 13 years old. The Midwest was hard on cars.

Nice 40 Std. at NSRA last year. Love those standards. Stance is everything on a 40. I like Amercians and steelies the best.

My buddy Chip sent me this photo of a youngster and his 36. I ask Tom to see if it is still around in Salem, OR. The owner looks proud like I did with my Chevy. Note all the custom touches.

Jon has some nice Deuces. The Washington blue 5 window is a nice ride for the daughter.

Some Tech today. HHR brake treatment on the roadster they are building. Wilson Welding and Lincoln drums. Looks good.

Tom’s tech. Buick backing plates with Buick drums on the Halibrand. I will have pictures of this car next month. I know it will be the best.

Dreaming…Today’s ride.

Carson Top clone by Steve Pierce in New Hampshire. The top runs about $10K today. Houser or Gaylord were much cheaper, but so was a Deuce.

  432. I do consider all of the ideas you’ve offered on your post.
    They’re really convincing and can definitely
    work. Still, the posts are very brief for starters. May just
    you please prolong them a little from subsequent time?
    Thank you for the post.

    My web blog w3701.mirecom.net

  447. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was
    wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any recommendations
    or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

  464. Howdy! I understand this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does operating a well-established website such as yours require a
    large amount of work? I am brand new to operating a blog however I
    do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start
    a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for
    brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

  481. Spot on with this write-up, I actually believe that this amazing site needs far more attention. I’ll
    probably be returning to read through more, thanks for the information!

  497. Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?

    I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  519. Spot on with this write-up, I seriously believe this web site needs far more attention. I’ll probably be back again to see more,
    thanks for the information!

  587. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would
    never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for
    me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  630. It is appropriate time to make a few plans for the longer term and it is time to
    be happy. I’ve read this submit and if I could I desire to suggest you some attention-grabbing things or tips.
    Perhaps you could write subsequent articles referring to this article.
    I want to read more things about it!
