Thread: Post a Photo of your Deuce

Yes sir starting to gear up here at Fedex central. Sounds cool Moter. interested in the motor swap. would like to do the same with my deuce, minus turbo. Or maybe uuummmm

Cruisin Ocean City MD 2012

Very nice coupe, Blown Monte. Did you ever take it to the weekly Shady Brook Farm Cruise Nights up in Yardley, PA? It sort of looks familiar and I think maybe it was there.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I ordered a Moon tank since I like them, so now it's mounted. I need to get fittings and lines and try to think of something "real" to do with it other than fill it with beer and run a -8 line up to the cab. Since leaf blowers were also mentioned earlier, if I would turbocharge it I could use the tank to hold meth/H2O for some charge air cooling but that seems like an unlikely path for this one. This is a shot when I recently drove it to work:

Gotta love those yellow deuces!

This is my first LS series swap...and It will not be the last. After doing this car with teh engine combo I doubt I would ever build another SBC. Alot of rwhp can be made on pump gas and get great fuel mileage....for alot less than a sbc

Not my '32 but a cool old picture from my home town. Notice the Deuce 3 window setting behind the funeral limo.

heres a pic of our little coupe going together in Australia , 671 blown 354 '57 Hemi , 4 speed top loader , fabricated 9 inch rear on quarter elli
ptics, superbell 4 bar front , '29 Model A headlights , NOS original '39 rear lights , original Deuce chassis boxed etc , 15x4 with Michelins , 15x10 Ansens with Pro Tracks

I like this pic below better than the one I posted above. I hope to never have to put the top on again << probably wishful thinking.



As you may have seen me mention, it's having minor surgery with a different motor going in next week (Dart block 427 stroker SBC, Dart Pro1 heads, etc), we beefed up a couple minor suspension weak points, installed a new Detroit TrueTrac, and are working on these bomber seats which I think will eventually get some leather pads along some of the seat area and part of the backrest.



Idea for top of backrest to pick up on the top lines of the radiator shell:


Will post more pics when done.

That's a Great Pic of your car!

10-4 on the yellow deuces. Now I know what mine would look like with black top and moon tank !!

Nice roadster!

For me, I like it just the way it is. The top color accents the body and interior, and the front frame horns don't need the embellishment. If you decide to get steelies (like you mentioned in another thread) I'd keep the slotted wheels & tires to have the option of swapping as the mood hits you. The slots & blackwalls fit the car perfectly, to my eye. I'd just drive & enjoy it.

Along the lines of what Roger says about the front frame horns, I have not put the Moon tank back on after my roadster was redone over this past winter. For some reason, to me it now it looks like it does more harm than good to the overall integrity of the roadster's look. Here's a pic from about a week ago:



As far as the black top, I have it hanging in my garage and hope to never use it again.
