My Tudor is home

[Gastrick]

I was stuck at work when the ole girl arrived. My Dad had to meet the transporter and he only snapped these couple of photos before stuffing the car in my garage. It's hard to push and I haven't been able to get it back outside for more pictures. Well I can get it out but I can't get it back in.

I'm not going to be starting on it for a while (months) but at least I have it in my possession now. I'm gathering parts and planning in the mean time. I'll start a project thread when it's go time.

I am so happy for you Bill, that Tudor is simply excellent. You scored a really nice start to your next project. I know you have some radical plans for it, but man, that thing looks cool as is.[dr[dr

And yes, I too would be sleeping behind the wheel for a few days if it were in my garage. Hurry up and retire so we can follow along with the build.

I forgot to mention that, it's RHD. My Anglia was RHD when I got it also. I have yet to decide if I'm going to leave this car that way, but probably not. Makes it tough to stop and pay tolls on the turnpike.

 

[BruceR&C]

Nice score, Bill.[dr Can't wait to see what you have in store for it. Leaving it RHD would be different.

 

[Grumpyoldman]

Boy that cars sweet,[cl But why did you park it there? we can't see the real project the Black truck behind it. Cause the car only need is someone to wash the windows......[dr [dr

 

[hotrod preacher]

[Bonehead]

Looks really clean. What a great start..... or drive it as is.

Your really snagged a nice one! Are we going to see BIG valve covers covering double rocker shafts in this one?[dr

I believe so. I have most of another 392 Chrysler already. I just need a few more parts and some machine work to have a complete engine. The only glitch is that I'll be using the hood sides on this 34, so I will have to add blisters to the hood to clear the valve covers.

The car is pretty nice, but not quite as nice as it looks in the photos.

So what you are sayings is, you can't go through the toll booths backwards?

No toll booths out here, you might as well have it shipped to me and save yourself the trouble

 

[CORPO]

man that is sweet... i know its in good hands.. cant wait to watch the build...

 

[donsrods]

Yeah, the way Bill does things it should be all hemi-fied and on the road by this weekend. They must have longer days on that coast of Florida than anywhere else.
