Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors O/T Don

All this talk of scratching nuts and here I sit in my easy chair at 6:45 am.

got my ability to post pics back. I pulled the axle, got new brakes (note the finned aluminum style Buick brake drum showing between the wheel and backing plate), had the axle and backing plates powder coated red and put it back together this Winter. Probably go for a spin this afternoon.

Nice, a Flathead Ford roadster, I'm jealous. Does it have triple 97's on an offy intake? Can't quite tell from the picture.

I sold my last muscle car when I moved to MN, a 1962 Fairlane Sports Coupe that I stuck a 427 in. I never really cared for the car, needed to finish the interior and was kinda happy to sell it.

Here is about as close to a hot rod as I drive today:




Came to me as a non-running 2 wheel drive. Going to finish up the body work and paint it this summer.

got to love those first nationals . the old man had some. very tough forged crank rods and pistons balanced . but with bad metal and new England salt they were rusted out in 3 or 4 years .good thing Loggah didn't collect them nothing would be left

The PNW is the home of intact internationals. I've got 3 more behind me when taking the picture. The list is

1964 "red carpet" scout 80 seen to the right in the picture.
1966 Navy ( galvanized body ) scout 800, the green one in the picture.
1967 forest service travelall 1200, same stance as the white 1200
1968 1200, the white one in the picture.
1968 scout 800, 304 v8
1970 scout 800 gold SR2

Most were given to me if I could "remove them from the field". All mechanical work, brake work and major body work on them is done. Just need to do the finishing body work and spray them.

The white truck and the travelall now have 75 dodge w300 differentials, very happy to get rid of the original Dana's with the big 6 lug patterns and split rims, and original heavy ass NP201 t-cases.

If i remember correctly the ones our father had with the 304 and 345 or 392 engines never got better the 6 miles per gallon !

Well, better than a Sherman tank which got, like, 1 1/4 gallons per mile. But who cared? Uncle Sam paid at the pump.

It has an Offenhauser manifold with 3 Stromberg 97's and Navarro heads.

overall of the car when I bought it. The pic up above shows what it looks like now. Ugly blue wheels and fat rear wheels and tires are gone.

I made a lot of other minor changes including adding a tach and the eight ball gearshift knob that was on my '36 Chevy when I was in high school.

Damn sweet old school Hot Rod.

I have the original Sun Ten Grand Super Tach, and the "Chassis Research" gas pedal out of my 112" front engine dragster. Always said I was going to build another one starting with those two parts. Kind of like starting with a butt stock screw, and winding up with a 22HP K.

Maybe you can get it done before the corona virus scare is over and we can get back to normal.

That truck has a 304 in it and with the 35s and 4.10s it gets between 4 and 5 mpg. These days it's the truck I drive locally or on the property to do work.

I love the flat heads! That one's a perfect example of how they should be built.

Not a Ford fan but that's the balls. A friend of mine and Loggah has a few 32 33 Ford Hot Rods. His has a hemi the wife has a flat head. Also a Model A widened down the middle frame beefed up with a flat head and a [bleep] of Winchesters. Maybe Loggah can get some pics since this site is turning into a car site instead of guns.

This site ceased being a collectors forum years ago.

LBK the double beard was spotted this weekend my friend's grandson could not get a good shot maybe next time told him use 22 hi power no idea what I was talking about .not a savage guy I guess,

Just need folks to post pictures and ask the questions.

Yep, when it lags the O/T threads pop up. That's ok. Man does not live by bread (or Savages) alone.

It's still a collector's forum. We just stray from time to time. You know, minds start wandering when a person gets old. (I think)
