Deuce Coupe and a Corvair ?

Deuce Coupe and a Corvair roof that is ! We had to remove the flat / pancake roof placed in this Deuce many years ago, with a roof complemented by nice curves ! The rear window area of the Corvair roof becomes the front portion of the Deuce roof, complementing the nice round curves of the original car. The Corvair roof is right at home, just as Henry may have done if he placed a full roof in a Deuce Coupe. Approximately 12 hours of hammer welding, the roof is taking shape. A few more hours of final detail work and it will be completed.

Bonneville 2012

Well, we made it to Bonneville in August 2012 and had a great time, completing our Rookie runs and obtaining our SCTA 'D' Licence. The 'D' Licence allows the driver to compete up to speeds of 150 MPH. Will attempting to acquire our 'C' Licence (speeds up to 175 MPH), I blew the head gasket out of the Jimmy at the 2 mile mark on the 3 mile course, our speed was only 143 MPH @ 4,100 RPM, however; the motor was pulling strong and climbing in RPM, it was not to be this year. This was however going to be a run reaching 175 MPH, with plently of RPM left. This motor will run all day at 6,200 RPM, reaching speeds over 175 MPH on a record set last year by a Hudson Motor of 201 MPH. Bob Owens and Keith Floyd (of Texas fame) Mike Wilson of Joyceville Ontario Canada, Clive Taylor and Allan of New Zeeland and the famous Gilbert, King of the Valley, a huge thank you. See you next year on the salt.... Last but not least, Mike Herrington, expert photographer, many thanks... Cheers.....

Speed Blisters, Humps & Bumps

A few hours on the sand bag and planishing hamer and I have four convace pieces made for the foot area in my Bonneville Belly Tanker. The convace peices will be bolted onto the nose of the cage, inside of the tank to prevent your feet from exitting the cage in the event of a roll over.... Working on a couple of speed blisters currently for another project, pictures of the speed blisters at a later date.

New Skins For the Deuce Doors...

Bottom 6" of both Deuce doors were missing, as all inner frame work had returned to Mother Nature. After rebuilding the door bottoms and inner frame work, new lower door skins have been tacked into place. Final welding will be completed after the door is once again fitted to the opening to ensure proper alignment.
