You can even build a seat from their wood and spring kits. Very cool!

Hemi Valve covers of... well... the YEAR!

Notice anything different about these Chrysler IMPERIAL valve covers??














Few extra lumps there... right? These covers are one-off covers that were stamped just for Steve Wright. The 392 Chrysler Imperial was available in 1957 and 1958. They were not offered with solid lifters and adjustable rocker assemblies. The "dimples" were only seen on Chrysler 300 covers, Industrial engines and Marine engines... (to the best of my knowledge anyway). The dimples provided clearance for the adjustable rockers used with solid lifter valve trains.

That's my fun fact for the day.

Oh... if I'm wrong, please tell me so I don't feel like an idiot AND so I can get my facts straight. HAHA! Thanks!

Messing around with fish

Just messin' around with this crappy fish eye lense I had laying around. At least it makes the inside of my Model A look a little more spacious. HA!

Fu

Four wheels or two?

So, Maurice Van Den Tillaard is in town (FDPhoto) and we did a little two wheelin' with the Cycle Zombies and spent some time watchin' the Stopnik's tare up a local pool. These kids rip for sure!

Vintage Wiring source

While looking around for replacement dash lights, I ran across a place called "the Brillman Company" that sells a bunch of neat vintage wiring components like switches, braided ignition and primary wire, raja clips, spark plug adapters, wire holders and looms, lighting, etc. Thought maybe this might help someone. Neat stuff and their prices are very reasonable. Click the name below to get connected...

Sneak peaks...

Still a long way to go! But checking stuff off the list pretty rapidly now!

Random thoughts...

Still trying to get refocused on the build after the little "Hemi set-back". Random pictures just flying through my head right now. Some helpful, most are not...

Dee Wescott, 1927-2009

Well as time goes on, we seem to lose more and more people that have made their mark in hot rodding. Dee Wescott left is mark with Wescott Auto Restyling and a whole line of beutiful, early Ford fiberglass bodies, replacement panels, and parts of which people have been building hot rods from since the 50's.

The community will miss him but will always remember. If you would like to read a neat timeline about Dee Wescott, as written by Karl Wescott, you may do so by clicking here--> Dee Wescott, 1927 to 2009

The best to the Wescott family and friends.
