Default Thanks to RonnieRoadster

A BIG shoutout and Thank You to RonnieRoadster.! !

As many of you know I acquired a 40 coupe, older build, etc. It came with a "few" idiocyncracies which Ron so graciously offered to help me with.


Thanks Ron.

Ronnie is the MAN!! He has helped me tremendously with tweaking my carb set-up on my blower motor. He's extremely knowledgeable and patient!

Now Ronnie is a great guy . . . but his wife Laura is so much nicer than he is!

Just kidding Ron - they're both wonderful people and Ron and I find time to ponder all things flatheads and Arduns at least a few times a year.

Yup - Ronnie R is da' man! Built my 286" blown flathead for my 35 Ford Three Window. In fact .. Ronnie and that build were featured in the Brian Darwas' movie "A Sweet Sickness .. The Flathead Movie"!

Gee everyone is going to make my head get bigger then I wont be able to put the race helmet on LOL Really I enjoy doing this stuff if I can help someone I truly enjoy doing that. And when Dale and I start doing our pondering about flatheads you can be sure good things come from that. Now I better get back to work on improving the Flathead for next years Speedweek.
Thanks all.

Ron did my motor last year and it turned out great. But when I first got the car some years back, Ron drove down to go over timing etc. That gave me the greatest feeling to have him care that much. As far as Laura goes, I know that is what makes Ron the good guy he is. Wishing you guys have a great, safe Holiday Season. Ron, I will order you the next size up helmet.

Hell - we keep this crap up, Ron is going to need a new "bubble head roll cage" grafted into his car. That big ole' noggin of his will be VERY BAD for aerodynamics . . . very bad!

The good news is that Ron didn't cause the problem - WE did! LOL

OK, Ronnie is a bum. Does that help bring down his helmet size a few notches? Just kidding.
