help out a hot rodder..

Just a heads up, that between Dave Fairbrother and myself, we are hoping to sell off all the spare bits that Wally had in his possession...and whilst trying to make a deal to move it out fast, just remember that all the funds go to his wife Barbara, so want to get the best outcome to help her out....

Dave and I are still working out pricings, so will repost all this in a day or two, but it is fairly involved...car...box trailer..shed full of tools..what we can try to sell locally or word of mouth will help, the rest we wil probably take to Eliminators swap in September 18..

tools..

more tools..

an almost brand new drill-mill

then the hot rod parts...e.g., I know these SOCAL axles sell for around $440..this one, $395

trying to come up with prices on individual items..

a 30" hot rod column..saw similar on the net. for around $350

a 2 bolt Speedway Motors/Pro Comp Ford Flathead Distributor... ..

on the net, $69..Wal had $50 on this already...

a used set of 3.5 nine inch gears..he had $160 written on the box

not sure what to do here...come up with a price, or maybe try to auction, so we can get the most $$$$ for Barbara.

lot of deuce parts..some already sold...

a wood kit for a 32 roof..

a complete boxed new 32 chassis, with tube crossmembers...we're thinking $3500 ...about the same price or cheaper than most others on the market...just remember...it's a one off sale to help out a mate who sadly passed away recently..his fanily will certainly appreciate it if you would consider buying some of the parts..greg@comstar.com.au 0437 32 31 33. all parts at my house for pickup..

Nardek Pty Ltd - Just click on the link below to open the page..

Nardek Pty Ltd - distributor, fuel pump & fuel injection components

Tuesday mornings edition...Blog # 680!

(By the way, I just saw the previous blog I posted/shared from the net, just click on the word "services", and it opens up the page I was trying to share)

Now..to todays blog... a few "dark deuces" have been posted on facebook lately...thought I'd share them .....

this black on black trend is certainly the flavour of the month..

is that dark green and black?...my eyes aren't that good...

and the wires are becoming trendy again..

look at above and below...love them both, and would be happy with either..

although...I would take this instead of the shiny one...

lotta gloss here...and more different wheel choices..

locals...if you want a neat deuce roadster, this will be available soon..Barbara Rudken wants to sell ,and Dave Fairbrother will be looking after the deal.. price will be sorted out soon...maybe around 60K...full details in a future blog, but call me if it interests you..Greg 0437 32 31 33.

Meanwhile..Les W , my ace Texas reporter got an invite to a 96 car collection..

hot rods and race cars, and not one deuce!

40 delivery

rare 2 door wagon

nice convert

Willys just back from Louisville NSRA Nats Louisville

nice paint and panel work

big is the word in Texas...toy hauler..workshop..car collection..awesome.

even had his own chassis dyno...

maintenance time on the tudor...poor camera skills with my phone, but the vacuum canister on my Nardek electronic distributor has somehow stopped working..probably the cause of the erratic timing it has at idle..new parts on the way same day from www.NARDEK.com ..they are good to deal with.....a complete elec dist, with coil, leads etc is usually around $200 with delivery included from Sydney..

chasing a squeak in the rear end, so ordered new bushes from Oz-Rods/Rod Tech...7 bolts just slid out, but #8 had frozen inside the steel bush..after two hours trying....a new 5" cutoff wheel was needed to slice the bolt...so good that those thin disc were invented...and also so lucky for me, that it was the lower rear, so access was easy, but still scary grinding sparks near a full fuel tank..

would have been a drama in any other location...I just use "Never-seize"..wonder if there is anything better...don't want this to happen again...but that being said...15000 miles is all I've done, and those bushes were really worn out...oh well, the cost of hot-rodding...

maintenance didn't stop there...there was a small leak, well, drip actually from the back plate of the chinese chrome water pump...and there in lies the answer...the chrome n alloy had bubbled a bit, the gasket looked like a piece of Cornflakes carton, so while it is apart...new hoses, new water with more inhibitor, as the thermostat was really ratty looking, so that will be changed as well...might change the oil as well, it's been in there since coming back from Geelong 2011!!..only done 4000 miles though....maybe i might leave it for a few more years....lol

Now..I have mentioned about some pieces for sale, and if you want anything listed..send some details to me at greg@comstar.com.au
First up is a spare Windsor Offy intake my son has..he wants $150..good condition, dull polish needs a buff again, ph me on 0437 32 31 33.

Dave also has a 3.5 gallon MOON tank and brackets for $650..
