Wednesday’s Words

The morning started off with some light rain that is much needed and promises to continue for the balance of the week. Working in the garage during the rainy days provides lots of time to stay dedicated to the task as opposed to going for a ride in the Hot Rod. It also gives me a chance to see if my leaky roof, that I had repaired several months ago, is doing the job of keeping us dry. I have been doing routine maintenance to Pepe like changing the oil, flushing out the radiator and cleaning the undercarriage during the stormy weather. I was concerned about the aluminum heads on my engine being eaten away from the water but I guess that they are built to withstand the daily driving and various heat ranges that occur during that time. The water looked a little rusty so I changed it. While I was under the car, I also noticed one cracked tie rod end which I will replace. Keeping your Hot Rod in shape is very important as you don’t want any problems while on the road. 

I receive lots of questions concerning paint colors and codes of various cars I feature. I don’t know the codes but you can look them up on Goggle or have your local paint store do it for you. Special mix colors normally are just that and each shade is determined by the mixer and customer. Many people will not share they secret color but some will. A good painter can match your color selection is you have a sample (even a good photo) for him to duplicate. Many of the stock popular early Ford colors paint numbers are available on line. Washington Blue for example has about 25 different shades that are available in the PPG library. Buy some different shades and paint some sheets to see which one you like. It worked for me and my friends.

I was informed that the LARS will be the same duration as it has been in recent years. The talk of reducing the number of days was reconsidered and the show will go on as usual. The popularity of this event worldwide makes it one of the shows you don’t want to miss. We need to support this long standing roadster extravaganza to make sure it continues. Make your plans to attend now.

 

Stay Tooned!

Coupes

This issue of Street Rodder dated April 1984 was my inspiration to finish my Deuce 3 window and my first thoughts of owning a woody. I had just moved to LA and did not know Boyd. I would later have the opportunity to drive both of these marvelous Deuces thanks to Boyd and Walt.

Wayne started his project with all the right components and dialed in the profile he was looking for.

Wayne built a beautiful 33 coupe that is one of my favorites. The theme of the build, the stance and the wheel and tire combination are just perfect in my mind. The orange color is what attracts your attention when walking through the rows of Hot Rods and the various shows.

Wayne had Phil lay down some stripes that gave it the finishing touch for a perfect 60’s styled Hot Rod.

Woodies

The shoebox woodies are very popular today and are easier to find. Wood kits are available for the DIY crowd.

    them as well? This could be a issue with my internet browser
    because I’ve had this happen previously. Kudos

  89. Cornhusker turned me on to your website. I’ve been reading and looking at the pictures for about three years. Yours is one I read every week. Good pictures and easy to navigate. My only comment is the lack of Model A hot rods. I drove my 29 Phone Booth out for the 50th LARS. Camped the entire trip sleeping in my factory built 1948 Tear drop. This might not seem like any bid deal but the truck runs the same Chevy II four banger, powerglide, and Halibrand quickie I have been running for the past 34 years. Thanks for a good website.
    Bob

  91. Lynn,
    Thanks for the kind words about the coupe… It like all our hot rods is a labor or love.. This coupe had been stuck in the back of my mind since the late ’80’s and now I’m driving it….Phill of course took it to another level with the great stripes… Wayne
