Coffee and grub

[Delmonico]

Well I'm glad ya didn't make no durn noise early this morinin', a fella has to get his sleep when he's been down.  Got a pot of Gwad-ee-molly-an on right now and took a pain pill.   Otherwise I can't get down on the floor to work on my quilt.

Forty Rod, you would a liked the car I looked over tonite.  We stopped by one of Rita's frieds and they were in the back room.  Suddenly there was a black late 40's Plymouth  club coupe behind my car.  I asked Linda if she knew someone with a hot rod Plymouth?  she said it was Jerry here husband.  I was sent out to move our car but by the time I got out there he'd parked it in the yard.

We'll I kinda know him any way so OI got him to pop the hood latch and he said go at it.  Well there were 2 carbs, and the spark plugs were in the middle of the head on a straght 6.

Yep I did, a Black 48 Plymouth coupe with a 54 Dodge engine with a tiny cam, bored slightly forged crank instead of cast, spit zaust manifold with glass packs.  2 stock Carter 1 barrels on an Offy manifold and a floor shifter.  Stock Bedford cord interior and just a nice enemal paint job.  A real driver not a trailer queen. 

Oh and he had the cheapy 71 Roadrunner slotted steel wheels painted red with baby moon caps.  Fer got, 2 inch white walls.

It is so nice to see a real classic driver and not a over modernized trailer queen.

Oh he's involved with a local stream liner, but he said maybe next year or the one after he may have to load it on the trailer.  He just wants to know what it will do on the salt, just for pure fun of course.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

sounds like a nice original, Del. Bet that interior was scratchy though. That's about the only part of them oldies that bothers me......Buck

[Delmonico]

They are fine if you keep yer clothes on.

He said he almost didn't paint it, it had some cool primer spots.

Been seein' some stuff about a SoCal car Club that is for traditional rods, they expect primer, Buick Nail Heads, Olds Rockets  and other such stuff, no modern front ends, no air no power nuthin' but what goes to the wheels.   Just pure hot rod.   Oh and they like to burn rubber, if there is primer on the fenders it won't mess up a $25,000 paint and body job.

I passed several old classic's on I66 yesterday morning, including a Roadmaster, however i had to double take the driver of the coupe leading....His vanity plate40RODsorry didn't have camera with me



coffee's  on

[Capt. Hamp Cox]

litl rooster put that coffee on so early it's gettin a bit thick, but still tastes purt good,  Speakin of old classics, brung one of a different type home this weekend.  A few dings in the wood, but the metal is rust-free and unpitted, and the bore is shiny and the riflin' sharp.  Purty good shape for sumthin' borned in 1883.  Here 'tis:

[Scattered Thumbs]

I like it. 

I'm sort of envious too. 

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning ya'll.
Thanks fer the coffee, litl rooster.

Good ta see yer back, Trinity. Hopefully you'll be painfree fer awhile.

Nice gun, Capt.

Shot a match on Saturday. I shot most of the stages gunfighter. My left pistol doesn't want to shoot the targets unless I slow down. I shot one stage clean and another with only one miss. My "Mighty Ten" is fixed so I shot it on all but one stage. My posse members got a kick out of how it puts the knockdown down with such authority.   
After lunch, we shot impromtu 300 yards at 18" plates. I only hit it once out of many rounds. But, it was still fun to shoot my Roller .45-70. I started out shooting 405gr boolits, then shot some 500gr boolits. My roller has a carbine buttplate. The 500's gave me a bruise where the top of the buttplate meets my shoulder. My brother and nephew from MN went with me to the shoot, but they didn't shoot the match. They shot the roller. My nephew, who's 12, shot it twice with 405grs and decided that was enough. My brother shot a bunch of 405grs, then I gave him some 500grs. He said the 500gr boolits definitely had more felt recoil.

Them SB's is right rare, Slim. I've only seen two in my area in the last twenty years!
Cap, that's a right nice TD. Looks like it was an Armory Queen for quite a few years. Nice to see something that old look that good.......Buck

[Delmonico]

Jerry's car wasn't on fire.

They only made a little over a 1000 SB's I believe, all at a loss.  The 70 Dodge Daytona is ever rarer.  NASCAR outlawed psedo-airplanes so there was no reason to build a car at a loss.  I've heard 1/4 mill for a showroom looking SB and about a 1/2 mil for the Dodge.

Wait till Scattered Thumbs finds out there is a J model Duesy about 1/2 mile from my house.  And I can visit it durnin' their bussiness hours.  Local bussiness man has one in his auto museum, the fella in the next bed at the hospital had seen it and worshipped it.  Sadly he had a stroke while doin' that.  I hope it don't happen to me when I go there to drool.

BTW:  Speedway Motors of International hot rod supply fame.

[Forty Rod]

It'd dang near be worth having a stroke to see a J Duessie,  even better for an SJ.  I'd give a lung to drive either one.
