Deuce Sub-Rails and Floor Panels

New sub-rails, wheel wells and a custom made under the seat floor pan, has been welded into place. Floor pans are 18 Ga. with beads rolled into the floor, to resemble the original floor, whiling provide extra support. The Deuce floor is finally taking shape....

Candy Factory Is Open

New art work for our shop, everything is cheaper in the country !

Hot Rod art by no other than the Genuine Guru of Kool, Jeff Norwell !

That Think Got A Hemi ?

We placed the 331 Chrysler Hemi in the '33 Ford frame, wow, what a piece of rolling art ! A hemi with a Edmunds '2 X 4' intake and a 4 speed standard behind the mill with a complete chromed suspension....

And the shoes, a set of wide whites with steelies !

Where's The Pepper ?

Well there is no pepper, however; if you have not been to the Bonneville Salt Flats, it is a must attend event. This past August we completed the P-38 Belly Tanker, however; we ran into major issues with the head gasket as we are having a new one being designed. Long story short, we headed off to Wendover Utah for the event without the car, oh well, next year !

The chubby guy, well that is me at the starting line of the 3 mile course....

Enjoy the pic's !

The Art of "Jeff Norwell"

What else may be said of Jeff Norwell's art ! He creates fine art, line drawings, cut away images or great hot rod art which I enjoy !

Have a look at his site or blog and you will be amazed !

Deuce Sub-Rails Instalation

I have received a few emails from the "HAMB" regarding the instalation of new sub rails in the Deuce which I am building for the Guru of Hot Rod Art...

Anyways here are a few pic's just to give you an idea.

Cut the old sub-rails and rotten wheel wells out, set up the new subrails on the completed Deuce frame, build the floor with the kick up for the rear Model 'A' cross member to suspend the quick change and sit the body over the sub-rails, paying attention to door clearance !

Shiney Motor Mounts ?

How about some custom motor mounts suspending a vintage cradle, Hurst motor mount, on a Baby Dodge Hemi in a Deuce created at the Candy Factory ? Gotta love those ole' South Bend metal lathes, some 50 years old, to turn out some bling..... Here 'ya go ! Vroooom......

So you say, vibration, etc ? Hey, it'za hot rod... Balanced motor, who needs cushion mounts ? The Beach Boys sang about "Good Vibrations", therefore; think of it as music as we don't want no stinking radio's in our hot rods !

The Shop Is Full !

Where has all time gone, the shop is full !

The Bonneville Land Speed Car is completed with two customers gow jobs on the final stretch of the build, Enjoy the pic's and stop on by the shop for a visit !

The Deuce Is Coming Alive !

Working on a customers Deuce, completed the frame and exhaust, now working on the 5 window body which required a complete floor, as the sub-rails were completely rotted ! New sub-rails, wheel wells, floor, and you get the idea.....

Just a little eye candy to look at !

Who is the crazed fella' in the Deuce ? First correct answer and you'll win a prize !!!!

Jimmy, almost ready to sing !!!!

Just a couple of progress pic's... Custom push rods arrived today, 12 1/4" long for the roller cam, roller rockers and roller lifters (0.645 lift), motor is installed minus push rods, index the cam, complete the wiring and finish the fuel lines and we will finally hear the "Jimmy Sing".....

The bottom of the tanker is sitting off to the side, as we just had to push the tanker outside for its first picture, outside of the garage.....

P-38 Tanker Spy Pic's

Just a small update on the Belly Tanker. Paint has been added to the diet, motor and axles are being built, custom rad, etc. has been completed. Just waiting for the Jimmy 302 to come back from the engine shop. Add wiring, a couple of brake lines, with gas and oil, and fire it up !

Just as a side note : Mike Wilson of Joyceville, Ontario, deserves a huge "thank you", as without Mike's help, determination and numerous hours, this project would not have become a reality this year...

See you and the salt in August 2011.

Belly Tank - Paint Very Soon !

Just a little progress on the P-38 tank the last few weeks. We almost have the top and bottom of the tank trimmed to properly fit the frame.

The cut out on the driver's side is for the 5 deuce, Howard Intake and header exiting the tank.

The hole below the push bar is for the parachute, which mounts inside of the body.

Pass the salt please !
