I like the rat rod but where is the cooling system?

Re: Lombard 7-8-06
 

-------Everything about the flathead in that rod is cool. I dont think I have ever seen a set of those heads. They reposition the plugs.......a lot. Blower is a Latham and, I think, massively over driven with that huge crank pulley. I also wonder about the cooling. I can see the bottom hoses going forward and down. Would love to hear that thing run. It must really cackle!!! Front brakes are also very unusual......Bill S

Wow Ken...cool shots! I thought I saw your Nova in the background in one of the first pics.

I, too like Bruce's Silver SS396 Camaro https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Two things though:

1) It's great that you drive your Nova...though out here if you want to wash your car, you had better get up about 4:30 am...while it's still only 85 degrees.

2) You have got to stop hanging around with Charley...those "Ha's" are getting out of control https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the pics! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I had the old toy but with a slightly new look... Those 5 year old kids don't let you socialize much. Hopefully I will be on my own next time. Great to see you though Ken and nice to meet the Mrs... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Lombard 7-8-06
 

Ken, Very cool car! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

My friends in the 2 Cobras didn't like the rain coming out of Wisc so we left.

Darren, the car looks excellent with the redlines. When are the fronts going on the car?

Re: Lombard 7-8-06
 

I was spent after mounting the rears over the weekend. Should take me a week to work up the energy to do the fronts. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

"We were sitting in the outdoor restaurant when you left and your car sounds "Very" Healthy......"

As you were about to pay for your meal at the "Outdoor Restaurant" I suppose you reached in your wifes purse to pay for the meal. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
