I never got into these in the 70s as a kid but when I grew up I started to really dig them. Yours is perfect.

OZ Racing is a pretty expensive wheel manufacturer out of Italy.

This is just way cool!!! We used to have a pizza parlor called The Organ Grinder when I was a kid growing up and it had a huge pipe organ!

Okay, have a Revell 31 Ford Woody coming. I'm leaning towards a 29 Ford Roadster with 4-banger. As per rules, will include speed parts if I go this direction. https://barnfinds.com/period-style-banger-1929-ford-model-a/

Winamp. I prefer it over any of the others I've used especially Microsoft's pos. I'm getting ready to go to the airport or I'd turn it on to tell you which version. It's an older version that I've found to be the most stable.

I haven't had this kit for over a decade but I love it! Anyway here is the instruction page with the mags on it. Some sort of 5 spoke. I might get it just for the hood for this build...

I have no issue being wrong! I love learning new material and since I wasn't around in '48-'53 all I can do is go by research. Thanks. Charles

Perfect for the Banger class... and actually thought of using that with the 29 roadster instead of going with the flathead... As for the mags, my gut says "no". Even with the more moderate rules for the Cali instead of NJ class of ohv. It seems clear that 1960 is the cut off. And for some of the other classes it even looks like '53 is. Just my 2 cents.

Discovered this today, Stewart Lindsey album "Amitié"...

CHP was the subject of the show CHiPs obviously and the first time I'd heard of it.

Diamanda Galas... I Put a Spell on You.

Entries will begin Nov.1 and the build will run until Dec. 8 2023 with a post for the drags being posted Dec. 9 2023 for all the finished cars... Have fun!!!

Well, so far for this build, I've gotten the 29 Roadster and the Roadster Chassis Speed Equipment pack from Atlantis. Going with a flathead. Not sure about the build, thinking I might go with the tubular front axle and solid radius rods or maybe the opposite extreme with the dropped axle from The Parts Box. Still need to get ahold of a 40 Ford Standard Coupe at a decent price...

If you can find his books, they're a great resource! I have one other and borrowed 2 from a coworker. Charles

On a HP pc.. I have more than I knew. Just under 5 TB on two external hard drives. Kinda funny because my wife doesn't let me play music all the time like I used to. It's stuck off in a back bedroom. Played through Klipsch 2.1 THX computer speakers.

Amazing! 'Nuff said.

Horatio would be a great name to have.

My music player... a portion of my collection uploaded. Though I miss albums, i don't miss the space they took up.

some photos from Authentic Hot Rods: The Real "Good Old Days" by Don Montgomery. All photos of SCTA in the late forties. The full fendered was for Ace-Garageguy...

A great book. Several books by Don Montgomery if you can find them. So is "Hop Up: The First Twelve Issues". ... and Ace-Garageguy.

Cool reference pictures. https://www.motortrend.com/features/1929-ford-model-roadster-true-time-capsule-preserved-just-built-1949/

I'm not sure. Going through photos of racers throughout the years, there are definitely wire wheels. I'm not an expert enough to know exactly what type of wire wheel each contestant is running. Perhaps truck?
