My daughter just took some pic out of my camera and put them in the computer so I'll see if I can post a few. This is what I call a real 50's hot rod, a friend just built it out pieces. We'll see if he recognize it. Walt

Wow, nice rod. Who built the motor?

My guess is there might be one of those classy little Walt Dupont medallions fastened to that flathead.

Nice example of a 50's rod but back then my wide whites would have come out of a paint can.

sweet ride!

Walt,
You are becoming a computer wizard. Nice rod. Now who built the engine? My guess is it was that guy in Gardiner that talks with a funny accent.

Nothing more fun than an A/V8 very nice Walt.

Bored&Stroked · 12-12-2015, 09:44 AM

Good stuff . . . looks like something my friend is going to build! Question from the guys that were there - did most guys replace the original headlights and run King Bees or other sealed beam lights? (If they could afford them?)

Nice Ride.

VeryTangled · 12-12-2015, 09:59 AM

Hi Everyone, Hey Walt, great to see you posting pics! That's a real beauty, painted just like you love-em'.

zzlegend · 12-12-2015, 10:02 AM

Perfect. Thanks Walt.

Barry-ct · 12-12-2015, 06:44 PM

Cool car!

Bob NH · 12-12-2015, 07:23 PM

Here is one for you guys. I went up to Gardiner looking for Walt and stopped at several places asking where he lived (even the Lincoln dealer not far from him) No one I asked had ever heard of him. My question is, how can a guy be world famous and no body in Maine knows who he is ??? Pretty low profile don't ya think ?

waterboychuck · 12-12-2015, 07:36 PM

Way cool. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Everyone, Bob, you shoulda stopped at the A1 Diner in Gardner. They know Walt there!

CSArno · 12-12-2015, 07:40 PM

I'm going to visit him this week with a Christmas present.. a tired 8ba..

Bob NH · 12-13-2015, 09:17 AM

Tangled, probably the only place in town I did not check ! Very nice town with not loads of people living there but all friendly.
