37 Ford build--IE: old Header issues thread /37 Ford/5.0/GT40P heads

[randyr]

This thread is supposed to be about '37 Fords and SBF heads. I just came back from a car show in Culpepper Va where some 220 cars were in attendance, nostly newer models, but I photoed some "time machines". Note the 21 stud heads with water pumps! The 1935 coupe was so glossy that you can see my T-shirt reflected in the hood! Can anyone tell me how to attach photos in this new format?

Ah, yes, Don, it's amazing what can happen to a thread after almost 1200 posts!!
As far as posting pics, you can always upload your pics to a separate service like Photobucket and then copy the image link into the body of your post or you can reply with "Go Advanced", scroll down to "Manage Attachments" and it will take you thru the process of uploading pics directly from your computer or other sources.
I had not used the "Manage Attachments" method since the website was redone so I thought I'd give it a try and upload a pic of that '37 with the SBF that started this thing. Obviously, it's still not finished but I've made some great online friends and learned a lot along the way!
I hope you get your pics posted. Would love to see that shiny '35!

Don - this thread has gone far afield since Randy opened it a few years (??) ago and has really become more of a fun one now that the originator has gone into pickup trucks

(gotta pick on someone - especially since I got a hide rip on an RV site)

What?? So now you don't like my truck??

I'm sure your hide will heal soon or the "ripper" will know what for!! Gotta watch out for those RV guys.....

Randy - love the truck, but it's not a '37 Ford tudor

As far as the hide ripper - he has been "handled" and is sniveling in an appropriate corner. Someday I'll do a thread on some of the RV characters. Car forum guys are (mostly) princes in comparison.

Culpep_1221.JPGCulpep_1222.JPGCulpep_1224.JPGCulpep_1232.JPGCulpep_1230.JPGOk Randy I will give it a try. Actually the shiny car was a '36 three window with a rumble seat. Apparently it is a restoration and I was amazed by the excellent paint and the immense foot room in the rumble seat area. My '29 rumble seat is turning out to be just for kids! There were some amazing later model cars with blowers but since the U.S. Gov. now wants 53 mpg and gas is expensive I think the cars with blowers have mostly become show cars or track monsters. Anyway due to my age I like the older cars. Actually I did not see any '35 or '37 Fords there so this '36 will have to do. The fenderless Model A Tudor really caught my eye as a much older rod with 21 stud flathead power and the good old three pipe headers. However the interior was very nice and had apparently been treated to a redo with a mohair kit so the whole car was basically better than a rat rod with lots of nostalgia! Finally I had a good discussion with the owner of a 1930 Model A Tudor that had been chopped by the owner and the chop was really smooth! There was also a very nicely chopped '39 with frenched headlights. Now I will try to attach the photos. Well this not all of what I wanted to send but there seems to be a limit of 5 pictures and I did not get a picture of the whole '36 anyway. In the upper left corner you can see the reflection of my Richmond Nationals T-shirt in the side panel of the '36 coupe. The fenderless Tudor also had a 21 stud flathead! Most of the other pictures I took were of 1929 Ford hood shelves since that is the area of interest to me at this time.

Yeah, Don, that's the downside of posting pics through the "manage attachments". You are limited to 5 pics at a time. If you use Photobucket or something like that, you can post as many "image links" as you want in the body of your post.
Thanks for the pics!!
