Back to life... Almost ready for summer.

Its taken 2 years, but the '51 T-bird fired up again for the first time last week. 

A lot of people other than myself need to get credit for getting this heap back on the road. Ill pay proper credit when I have some good photos to do the work justice. 

For now - heres some detail shots and a couple photos of how it looks when someone 'doesnt see you before taking a left'...

Rogue Speed Shop / Anvil Machine Brass Risers

Dean from Anvil Machine and I have been making this little idea a reality for some time now...

7/8ths Solid Brass risers. Cast in a batch of ten sets only.
These risers are NOT mass produced in a sweat shop in China - each set is cast, cut, drilled, tapped, sanded and polished by hand, by us.
- they are then stamped & numbered so that each set is unique and cannot be duplicated.

We will be making these risers to order, so please expect a 2 week turn-around for us to finish the set you order.

Also in the works - Brass risers for 1' bars.

Note - Obviously we are not responsible for how you install / use / run these risers after purchase.
Install them properly. Check that they are tight during regular maintenance. Use common sense in running them.

Mail us if you are interested in a set.
shop@roguespeedshop.com



Raw Risers... Fresh from the Foundry.

Thanks to Brett for the Photos!

Currently digging these...

The old Ducati Scramblers are rad! Loads of potential for a very cool build... If anyone know of a one tucked away in boxes in a basement somewhere let me know.

The Swamp Donkey

I came across this '51 6T motor via the Interweb a couple of years ago. The motor was in South Africa of all places - luckily, I have some 'Connections' and soon enough, the Swamp Donkey was mine. The story was that the motor was used as a swamp buggy engine for a number of years until it was retired to the rafters of a warehouse, and eventually 'rescued' by the gentleman that I bought it from.

I decided it was time to dig into it. Dean from Anvil Machine very kindly offered to walk me through the process of re-building this motor properly. Ill keep this updated with some progress reports.

Heres a couple pics of the dirty beast coming apart.

Pre Tear-Down...

Weird old spark plugs - Made in S. Africa... Crazy!

Broken fins...

Tear Down Begins....


Anyone got a 'spare' set of jugs?

Oil Pump Still seems to do its job, but I dont trust it - Luckily I have one waiting to replace this...

Weird attachment - for said Swamp Buggy perhaps...
