34 Roadster SCTA survivor 4 day slam

About 5 years ago my buddy was handed down his dads 34 Roadster. Been sitting in a little alley way garage down in L.A. In the late 40's his dad and buddy traded cars, at the time his dad owned a 38 Ford coupe, so they swapped the 34 Roadster, rumble for the 38 though they kept there motors.

The two belonged to the Gear Grinder, SCTA. His dad ran the 34 full Fendered, Piped roll cage bolted to the floor, the dash is a 40, 39 i always get it mixed up, leaded in, leaded filled ash trays, Early Block Edelbrock heads, Adjustable Lifters, Aluminum Fly Wheel, side shift tyranny with a Lincoln cluster, 40 Colum shift, 40 Juice brakes, 40 master, 36 drive shaft headers, brazed right to the Ol headers, D&S intake, big logo 97's that were perfect inside and out, we didn't even rebuild they didn't even leak, squirted gas perfect, performed perfect.

Body is in a unbelievable shape, We opened the top for the 1st time since 54, popped it on, and went to town.

Ran new brake lines, fuel lines, new wheel cylinders, shoes, fuel pump, tank was perfect inside. Made a ol style wiring harness, went through tones of boxes and found everything to reassemble it. changed the oil, new head gaskets, checked the fluids, and off we went in 4 days

Way kewl car!!! and what a great piece of history and family tradition to put back together! Would be a blast to make some passes in it up in the desert!!!

Very neat car and story to go with it. BTW, the dash is a '40. The '39 dash would be comparatively flat, with two round gauge units above the column.

Gotta be a kick ridin' around town in that.

Cars like that are just fantastic. The history, the look,everything. Great story.
