some mid week bits..

 Found this gem on the web....

 this came from Charlie Duran today...his 3 w is pictured at the bottom of this page...here it is in 1959...that car has some history!..built sometime in the 50s, street rod and drag car duties way back then..

 Chuck sent this pic..seems Noel was photo-bombing this nice deuce roadster...lol

 some more from LARS, sent by Graham Robinson...thanks for all of you that help by sending pics for my blog...

 Mid week run today to the Royal Hotel at Harrisville..was a great day out, nice 1 1/2 drive from Yatala..

 only 20 or so, but like I say.."i'm going to lunch..who else wants to come along"

Here's Charlies 32 last year...been a hot rod for over 55 years now..

R.I.P., Pat Wilson..

Word has come through to me today, that Pat lost his battle, been sick these parts 6 months apparently...I hadn't seen Pat since about this time last year, when he was at the LA Roadster Show, and on his way to New Orleans....he will be missed by the SE Qld rodding community, you saw him at lots of events, in the big old Buick, or in his pickup truck...RIP Pat..

I am still finding parts for sale..

Ok..sit back with a drink, and look at these excess parts I have....and don't forget to look at the others I put up yesterday..greg@comstar.com.au

 Pair of S.S. hiboy headlite brackets, $55us price at Speedway....mine just $40 pr.

 alloy pulleys to suit short chev water pump..triple bottom for air/power/fan, and double top..I need to get $50 for the pair...

 now, here's a rare item, I have been holding on to this for at least 20 years now..the alternator bracket to suit a BB Chev with the short water pump...what would have been on a mid 60s 396 Chevrare..but hard to find a buyer, so $30 and it's yours.

 Anyone recognise this...another hard to find piece, it is the support for the air cond. compressor, from a sb Chev, with a short water pump....looking from front on..the rh side bolts to the pump, while the lh holes bolt to the compressor support bracket..$30

 Old drag race bit that was popular once...underdrive pulley for a chev sb with short pump..guess you could still use it with a regular top pulley...anyway..$20

 Notice the shorter pulley, and the wider bolt pattern, that means this comes from a sb chev with the long pump......however, if you are shortening a short pump for say, an A model Ford, and you have a new pump, the pulley mount flange always has 8 holes, so this will bolt straightt on.....need it?....give me $20!

 here's a pair of sb chev short pump alloy pulleys...$40 the pair.**SOLD**

 new pair of headlight stands from when I was going to clone the last roadster like the McMullen 32.....a 60s/70s style of headlight bracket, most often seen on T's, A's..$89.99 us in their 2010 catalog...so I guess the same in Aussie $$ is ok.....$90 pr.***SOLD***

 Think this is to suit both 30 and 31 Model As, across the cowl area...as is..$70***************SOLD*

 Another 1930 model A part...this shell has a bit of damage at the bottom...so $80**************SOLD*

 old Model A radiator that has a loose side bracket..unknown condition, $50

 Think this is off a 30 model A as well...or 28/29..hope is not 32, then I'm embarrassed...but not sure...anyway, disregard the toe in the picture, and buy it from me for...say..**************SOLD$120**********....

 Here is a spare new So-Cal forged dropped axle...been sitting for twelve months now, and I have 4 other dropped axles, so don't think I will be using this one any time soon....they are $250 US in the catalog, so with .78c exch rates , freight and gst..lets say they would be more like $380 here.......mine is $335.

Here's an old "Bills" brand Moon-look-alike tank, that has been wall art in my shed for probably 20 years...if you need it, I will take $200!

how about some music...

some excess parts need to go..

Now that I have your attention....I have about a gazillion too many parts, and need to thin out the stock, so have a look here, see if you need anything...ph me on 0437 323133, or e mail at greg@comstar.com.au, as it will all be going up on e bay in the next few days...started listing some already..

 Pair of OFFSET bolt pattern Chev script valve covers....................$50 ***SOLD****

 Unknown brand of wheel, bought it in Nashville Swapmeet last year..it came in a LeCarra box, but you can see it has been fitted, but probably not ever used...pretty sure the guy said it was to suit GM column, but I don't have one here at the moment to check......I need to get $200 back on this..

 New pair of Corvette repro covers that I bought from Dave Townsend..was going on the last roadster, but never got around to fitting them..been hanging on my shed wall for three years now!...think I paid him about $185 maybe for them...so lets say $175.**SOLD**

 5 junky old US plates for the shed...$2 each, so $10 the lot. **SOLD**

 Pair of speedway motors radius rod brackets to suit early ford tapered tie rod ends...but I guess you could just run a drill thru them to mount 5/8" bolts..$20 pair

 asst of lenses, screws, gaskets, retainers for 34-36 lights...$30 the lot

 Pr of Corvette straight pattern valve covers, one has a hole drilled one end with a rubber to suit a PCV valve, while the other has about 10 holes drilled where it must have had a breather bolted to it...so I guess you could just put a plate over both, as they would be up against the firewall...or get a 90 degree breather...anyway... the pair as is...*Selling on e bay now*SOLD**

 Pair of chrome block huggers suit Chev, I also have the little collector/engine pipe adapters that come with these...but don't think I have the gaskets........$130 the pair.

 Pr. of stock Chev valve covers that came of a new crate 350....as is, no gaskets......$30

Here's a combo mount bracket for alternator and air conditioner that I bought in the US, tried to use these on my tudor with the injection, and had to modify them a bit, and still didn't work....I paid $165 us from memory...so how about $100 now..

 Chinese copy of an Edelbrock air gap RPM Performer......sb Chev...$120

 used 750 Holley double pump I bought for my roadster...but never even fitted it.....think I paid $325 for it about 4 years ago..need it gone, so lets say $250!

 alloy flywheel for a Chev, this suits the large dia. clutch, once again, didn't use it on the roadster..so bye bye....$75..********SOLD******

 This is new!...and rare, a dust cover to suit a Chev bellhousing with the small dia. flywheel....$30.

 Pr of rat rod looking headlight stands..no idea what they would fit, but at $30 pr, who cares!**SOLD**

**SOLD**

Old Model A cowl with just enough rust to make it either saveable...or garden art!! It does not have dash rail or posts, as is, $250***SOLD***

 Pulleys...I have about a dozen sets, all sorts of Chev pulleys, but the desireable ones are these to suit short water pumps...$30 a pair, but I will be listing more at a later date..have alloys as well, and long pump, some air/power combos, ...watch this space!

 Fibreglass tank cover to suit a 1932 Ford..hmm..no idea what they sell for...maybe $40

 Newly split and cleaned genuine TCI 8" hi stall convertor from the USA..once again, this was destined for my last roadster, until I went the three pedal route...currently on e bay...$500...oh, and the stall is probably like about 4000...****SOLD***

 another part for the roadster that didn't get used...a Don Zig/Vertex magneto in good used condition..need to get back close to what I paid, so $500..*******SOLD*****

Here's a Glide maybe seat I bought at LA roadster show last year...it flips forward, base lifts up, comes with the foam for bottom and back...the man said it was for a 32 Ford, but he didn't use it....and now I know why..it's like a rear seat, as it is about 3" narrow for my coupe...guess it might be able to be widened, or go in a T bucket or just put it in a tourer...anyway...these sell here for over $1000, I want, say $650.., which is about $300 to $400cheaper than what a new Glide would be anyway, with the foam kit, I'm thinking.......................................................
I have lots more to list, it just takes time...I just want to quit the excess, so there is still an A model frame, some A rear springs and crossmembers, some coilover shocks, some spare different rate coil over springs, etc.etc...just need to to find and photo it ..
