Bar-hopping would have been more fun than trying to herd pairs of each animal species, dumb rabbits anyway.

On that note, I'm going to be annoying and mention once again how frustrated Noah's neighbors were about his boat.

Corruption was not this complicated when the Medici family owned the position of being Pope.

...horse is a horse, of course, of course; wait, what were we talking about?

Yourself is the one person that you're stuck with so it's advantageous if you can know who you are.

Floods were the excuse given by Noah for blocking his neighbor's driveway with his diy boat project.

With a Viper engine in it, you'll get in less trouble without the driveshaft installed.

You did it to me again... your first photo I thought it was a 1:1, just like you got me with your Herbie Baja. Very nice build.

Beautiful and clean.

Flintstone bodies seem a lot better than back in the day. I'm looking forward to this build!

Exactly... the sources for old speed equipment is definitely very limited (Norm).

Charles, I realize I hadn't mentioned your work and though I haven't had an opportunity to buy from you yet, you definitely are bringing a lot of options to the table. You've shown yourself to be responsive to wants mentioned on the board (the 32 Winter grill, which I definitely want and the baja bug transkit and options which you keep putting out for the bug). You also have a couple of flatheads which look great and a Nailhead. Did I mention the Nailhead? (Lol). I definitely will need to get one of your flatheads and see if any of my 1/25 speed parts will fit... Thanks

I agree. RMoM for example offers the LaSalle, 49 Merc and 53 Ford pickup transmissions for the flathead... I can't find anybody else that offers anything similar. That's just one category. There's a guy on Shapeways offering a Muncie with a flathead bell housing for almost $13 and VCG is working on a top loader for the flatheads they got from Chris Bolide, which the flatheads look great and it'll be one more option. Casey at Forward Resin no longer offers his Artillery Wheels because of lack of interest and he does have a beautiful looking set of Spyder Mags but it seems his focus is going towards the modern larger wheels for the most part. I recognize this hobby is mostly adults and there are fewer of us focused on more traditional builds... hence why Revell has never offered a more traditional option for thir 32's as far as rearends or suspensions. Still, it seems like there is enough interest in "retro" hot rods to warrant a few aftermarket options. Mapleleaf Modelworks has a few options, I've been communicating with Josh at VCG Resins and I'm hoping he'll be putting out some more options as well. Oh, and I can't forget Jason and his louvered parts or early Halibrands and the items that Ed Fluck Jr still has... Maybe someday something like this will be available again...

Does anybody know if they're still doing business? Any info? I remember them from a long time ago, I found an Etsy, Spotify Shop and a website from 2002...

This is going to be museum quality once you're done.

The 6 carb intake or the Flathead? The Edelbrock 4 carb is pretty rare now, I first learned about them in a Hot Rod Magazine ad when all issues went online. The 6 carb set up? No idea, I've seen a lot of photos online but very few on engines... I think it's just the "it can be done" aspect...idk.

Great job building a piece of history.

I wish I'd been old enough during those days...

I think this looks spot on. Not overly weathered but definitely used...glad you checked the barn.

That is one clean casting. Wow.

Really cool. I like the look and detail a lot.

I'm sorry, what style of taillights.

What are these supposed to be? Thanks Charles

California was the home of the Palm Desert scene which brought us bands like Fu Manchu and Queens of the Stone Age. (Aren't you glad that I didn't list those bands the other way around.)
