Motor mockup
I've finally had a chance to put a couple hours into the Coronet.
We meet great friends of ours every Summer in Osooyse for holidays. They drive in from Calgary to join us for a weeks worth of fun in the sun. Tim ,who is kind enough to supply the boat for our vacation every year, also brought up some "goodies" for the Dodge.
Tim races enduro cars and had some hidden treasures left over hiding in the corners of his garage. He supplied me with a nice intake and carb. He also threw in a 63' 327 corvette block.I've done a mock up on the motor i have in the car already and am going to save the 327 for a rainy day.
I would like to do a write up on Tim and his racing in the future and a few pics of his cars. The motor I received is no stranger to me. I saw it race down the track in one of his cars. That was a summer I helped on his pit crew at Race City Speedway in Calgary AB. That was also the year he took 1st place.
So here's a few pics of the 1950 Dodge Coronet with the new parts.
39 Pontiac Update
I stopped by Dons fab shop a few weeks back. When i arrived he was helping a local rodder
"Ian" properly align his doos handles. This is another car Don built. I beleive its a 51 Chevy. This car was being built at the same time my car was getting clipped.This visit gave me a chance to check on how the 39' was coming. Looks like hes getting close to driving. I didn't get much of a chance to ask about the motor and tranny, but i did get a change to snap a few photos. The first pic is of the Chevy.
