Q-Dog's Birthday
Ill be in Europe when Q turns 7 next month. This here is an early Happy Birthday to THE Junk-Yard Dog!
This guys can chew through a 2 x 4 in 2 minutes flat. He digs everyone, and is the ultimate shit disturber.
Heres to you, you little shit!
Love Dad.

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.

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!
