Default flathead powered

On the last weekend we went up to Rocky for the big car event there,1200 cars,
saw this neat old car in the same caravan park as us, it was a 1938 Graham,it was powered by an 8ba, neat conversion.

Thanks for the pic Lawrie. There's a lot going on there! I think I like it.

Adding: I wonder if he snapped a pic of your rig? I'm thinking he would.

I'm building a flathead now for a guy who will be putting it in a 38 Graham.

Engine installation in the Graham,
Rob , 33 is finally sorted and runs like it used to ,was crook ignition switch, took my son Hayden to find it.
yes the owners wife took a pic of the 33 ,her children loved it too,
they had driven the graham about 400klms to the event, and like us drove back in the pouring rain.
