At the local show
Here's a bit of candy from the local show we had here on the weekend [racing for MNDi] We don't get many flatheads at the shows, but this one has been popping up a few times now. All I know [because a friend of mine has worked on it]is that engine was built by H&H and shipped to Western Australia.
Is it a real "hotrod" I'll leave it to your choice

Re: At the local show
When I go to our local show, I'm usually the only one there with a flathead, seems like everything has to be a rat rod or sled or some kind of foreign drifter. They ask me what kind of engine I have, I laugh and ask them when they were born. Al

Re: At the local show
That is some nice candy, like both of those vehicles. Mark can back me up on this, Flatheads are alive and well here in Vacationland. I have seen more and more this year than previous @ some of our local shows.

Re: At the local show
Went to a local show Sunday and a car builder talked about a customer who's Flathead eng cost so much that the poor fellow couldn't finish the body work [costs]. And it is getting worse for the flathead builders. $4 grand is often a starting point! Newc

Yes the 32 did sound great BUT nowhere near as good as my friend Les Moran's blown 32 that has the best sound ever!

Re: At the local show
I like your truck better. Not too much stuff added either. Not like you are going to put a rubber rat on the tailgate or other.
If you want to draw attention to your old pickup. Put a 60s pitbike... mini bike in the bed. People like it. taco or Indian. . Last edited by Tinker; 08-20-2019 at 01:32 AM. |

Re: At the local show
I was at a show about 15 years ago and a guy walks up and tells me mine was the only flathead he'd seen all day. That's how I met Lars from Sweden.
