Saw that one on the NE tour. Sounds as good as it looks. Ol'Ron can fill the details. I think he had a hand in the engine build.

i would hate to get the firing order screwed up!

Not only did I have to take off my shoes to count that far, I had to take off the wife's shoes as well.

Re: Interesting flattie at the Hemmings cruise last night
 

Yup! built the whole thing myself. George will kill me if he reads this.
This engine was build bt George Perry, he's is a good friend and was at the Chili party. He also brought his Ardun powered 40.

sure am glad that ol'ron came clean on his NOT building that flatty; i'd hate to have to kill him. we've been friends (and he has been my mentor) for a long, long time!!! if it wasn't for him flattys would not be as easy or as much fun as they are.:eek:

Re: Interesting flattie at the Hemmings cruise last night

This roadster is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! It's too nice not to see the rest of the car. Here are some pics i took at Ron's chlli party.

Re: Interesting flattie at the Hemmings cruise last night
 

The true beauty is in the detail.

George was up to our Thur night Ainslies cruise night a couple of yr's ago with his Ardun 40. He said he was going to bring you up Ron sometime. I'm still waiting. lol Walt

Re: Interesting flattie at the Hemmings cruise last night
 

That is a fine job, George. Very eye popping. I have seen some pictures previously and wish I could see it in the real.

More pictures taken at Ol' Ron's Chili party. I wish I could have heard that Ardun run while we were there. Maybe next year.http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...-16_162928.jpg

Yup we had a good time at the party. Not many cars, but the ones that showed up were fine indeed. That Model "A" is for sale.

Youse guys will have to ask George about the engine. But I'll tell you this the care is special from the shock brackets to the windshield posts, there one of a kind.
George spent several years putting it together, not sure if it's done yet.

Re: Interesting flattie at the Hemmings cruise last night
 

Have to laugh, the younger generation is baffled by a normal flathead, used to ask us why the motor in the rail had four plugs and three exhaust openings so this should totally blow their minds!

Re: Interesting flattie at the Hemmings cruise last night

Even better is what is said on the dash "Real Hot Rods Don't Have Valve Covers"

Met George at Ron's chili party on the NE tour. His flathead sounded BETTER than it looks, and it looked wonderful. He led us back to Rutland and I was close enough to hear that sweet flattie for quite a few miles. It ran down the road totally effortless. Get this Ron's place is on a dirt road, it was like the old days seeing these old fords on dirt. I still haven't washed my 47! It was great meeting George and Ron and all the other guys at the chili party. The time really flew that afternoon, Chuck.
