A Good Day

Post by blgitn » Sat Jan 11, 2020 9:35 pm

Getting the Roadster dialed in: We logged over 50 miles, including 2 ten-mile runs at 40+ mph. Top speed was 45. Dog didn't ride the whole day, but he had a good time!

Nice. The 26-27 cars look great with dark painted wire wheels.

Thanks. It's a fun car!
The family wants me to paint the wheels red, like I did on the big truck. What do you guys think?

Good looking car! Red wheels don't look to bad on old things, maybe kinda like putting lipstick on a pig, but I like it.

Keep it simple and keep a good junk pile if you want to invent something :P

I want to see more of the AA van to!
Why the big galvaized peice?
I love the T you got running but the wheels match right now.Red,um,might stick out a bit to much.Maby fix up another set of wheels and swap them out sometimes?
What caught my eye to,was that nice white with wood grain Buick or Caprice wagon in the back ground. I hunted for 1 of those for several years and never found a decent 1 in this part of the country.

I guess I'll leave the wheels black for now; I can't un-paint them later...

The white wagon is a '95 Roadmaster. It's a little rusty. I got it from WV for the tan leather interior to put in my gold '96 Roadmaster.
My son drives the white car now.
The gold wagon came from Arizona. The picture is July 2019, the day it hit 100,000 miles. It's my daily driver.

The panel truck is a 3 year project (so far). I'm working on a timeline for the AA group. I'll let you all know when I get that done.

Not personally a fan of wire wheels in any color but black on a stock car.

I think the little runabout looks good exactly like it is.
