Best car at VTF

There was really great car at VTF and it wasn't even an invited car. I didn't spend a lot of time with it because it didn't need it. But it was a 32 from Wisconsin

Old chrome throughout the car, inside moldings, rear axle, front and rear wishbones, engine pieces, rear fender filler pieces
Vintage engine: nailhead with three carbs, chrome generator, etc
Really period hot rod










Vintage torque fest

First time I had spent significant time in Iowa. I went to vintage torque fest and it was a really cool show.

Didn't hurt that I was able to rise down in eyeballs 32 roadster.

Pics galore.

Merc update.

I finally got to put some time in the garage to work on the Merc. With the cold temps and no real good heater, even in my attached garage, I haven't been real motivated.

So, now that its getting warmer I decided it was time to get dirty.

I am beginning to clean all the surface rust that is all over the car from the open transport across country and removed the broken windshield so that I can replace it with new glass.

It starts and runs pretty easily, but hasn't been run long enough to know how it will handle on the road. So I need to get it out and test it out.
