more good luck?



Just home from work today.. I decided to jump online and see what parts have popped up..

The seller listed this as a 1936 1937 Graham trunk door handle 36 37 rat rod woodie

Alas.. its a Woodie rear gate handle.. and its ONLY correct for a 40 ford woodie..

given that I have a pair.. this one will serve as an "upgrade" for one of mine. somewhere around here I have a nos lock for it as well!



it wasnt a "deal of a lifetime" but these are rare as hens teeth..

rain magnet.

the odometer rolled past 1,000 miles this weekend.. a 490 mile trip to a car show in western Maryland helped the cause though..

the car worked flawlessly. not one hiccup. (actually I did blow 2 fuses blasting the Iriver through my new "system" ) an issue I should soon resolve.

once again..

Drove home in the Rain..



highlights..

the woodie with Andy's Coupe..

First 500 ....Doing what I said I would

The odometer rolled past 500 miles today, not bad considering the recycled 40 ford woodie has been on the road just 6 weeks. (two of which I wasn't able to use the car at all.. )

BUT..

more importantly, as I said I would, I have been driving the car everywhere I can. Today I drove to the "Wheels of Time Rod and Custom Jamboree."

IN THE RAIN..

and came home none worse for the wear..
