P.S. Same make radiator as the one John Casarra was asking about the other day. See mounting?

Shortened up those spark plug wires for quicker ignition and higher speeds! Provided the electrons don't get all confused in those knots at the hose clamp!.. OR.. Now I have an empty coilbox inside to use as a glovebox! The cops will never think to find my pint of shine in there!
Don, Some kind of timer elevator in use down below?

Is that an early Ford cup holder? I'm always curious about things like this... I wonder what the problem was that this configuration solved?

I'll bet the fire wall rotted out. what a stupid idea. Wonder if the horn blows the hood open?

Layden, it was a regular tiger timer. I think that's a the fan pulley you see. I wonder what the horn sounds like after a rain.

Dyslexia has been around longer than I realized.

That's the first thing I thought of Don. If he left the hood open, it would double as a rain gauge.

I would love to see the rest of the car. Seems to have a lot of personality.

Must have long legs, and bad ears.

Leave the hood off, open the front window and the horn becomes a spittoon!

Again,
modified as it is, dusty, dirty, crusty, and a wiring that you couldn't duplicate if you tried . . . it almost has a magical attraction to me. Most people want their cars as clean and polished as possible. I want exactly the opposite.

Case in point: I tried to purchase a set of hack cowl light brackets from Lang's for the original paint (can you imagine?) cowl lights. On back order. So I ordered a set of polished brass brackets from Bob's Antique Auto Parts instead. Received them yesterday and they look like jewelry. For the kick of it I will share with you how I turn them into brackets that have been on the bottom of the ocean for a century and post the photos here.

Some cars just have more personality than others.
