Here is an interesting old car. '49 Olds with the see through hood, to display the V8.

I'm always impressed by the talent people have in turning old refugees from the scrap yard back into nice machines. My Dodge was still in pretty good shape, nothing like those.

Sometimes its just about the parts. You save the ones you can. The Olds was on the way to scrapyard, and was bought on the side of the interstate. It has a pretty cool story.

Those hoods were dealer display items. Usually never made it out to the public.

The 4 barrel carb in the picture wasn't released to the public until '52. It is a very interesting car.

Oh I do love this stuff it is just to hard to play in every area you like.
Spouse and I had a couple of hot rod off road rigs back in the days when we were cool. You know, before we had kids.

Wow. One lap is amazing. I had shots of bourbon and maple syrup from a makeshift bar out of the hatch of a C6 corvette driven by a 72yo 25 year OLOA veteran. Just. Wow.

Finally got the kinks on the truck worked out. Apparently it helps when you land the main battery ground on the bolt clearly marked GND. Who knew!
