Do it Steve!!! It's one of my life goals -just have to finish the Chase (someday). If you need crew or help I'm in! I believe that lineup is established during the race car qualifications and run afterward. usually three heats, four cars and a years worth of good times.

Orangepeel, no need to apologize. If these are useful and can be saved, they should be. Thank you for bringing them here and helping us keep cars like the Kissel alive. I hope you hear from someone and can come to an agreement. Pics would be very helpful and I hope you realize that there is probably little monetary value to be had from these. They could however really help the right person.

Your interior doesn't look bad. Parts for this car are easy to find and easy to repair. I believe that is a master Sedan ( the fancy one) first year for the Blue Flame Six, 209 cid engine - ran as the BF6 until 55 and its descendants in chevy's through the 80s. We have taken our 34 Master Sedan on 11 glidden tours, several regional tours, weddings, funerals, beer runs to the neighboring town and sometimes just get in it and cruise around. Both of my children have driven this car (18 &13) and I taught my 70 year old mother to drive a stick in this car. When I want to ride in style, reliably and with minimum effort, the Chevy is the go to car. Last month we went up and down Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga (quite a climb!!) and it was easy, comfortable and SO much fun.The only odd mechanical bits on this car are the starterator, a vacuum switch that disenagaes the mechanical connection from the accelerator to the starter when the car is running and the DuBonnet knee action shocks. If your front end is bouncy, you should fix these but do the research first. They are not hard but understanding them is critical to safely repairing them. If you need any help or answers, feel free to contact me through the forum. Also I reccomend that you read Landman's reconstruction of a 34 chevy in the " our cars and projects" section of the forum. He rebuilt his 34 master up from rust and memories and he examines nearly every facet of the car with excellent pictures. Good Luck and happy motoring

Although I don't think any exist, Thomas did make early teens closed cars like these doors appear to belong to. I would be willing to bet they were leftovers from a rebodying effort from closed car to open. I don't know who your Thomas contact is but there could be a Thomas closed car out there misssing doors. Harold Coker of Chattanooga is awfully knowledgeable about Thomas and has a large Thomas collection. I'm sure he'd be interested in hearing about these doors.

Mr. Clayton, I think you may find that this is a tough crowd.

And... No one goes to jail for lack of tag... that costs the counties money - the law just write a ticket and hope that they get the money.

So Lebowski... The posters with huge concerns are right to be worried. They may very well belong to those poor class of folks in the vile yankee states with tyrannous laws and taxation or even worse, Left coasters, but as you well know, things are nicer in the south. I don't know the law in Fla. however in Alabama (my home) and Tennessee. The law is that you have ten days from the point of purchase (date on the bill of sale) to tag the car. All you will need to be verifiably legal is proof of insurance and a fully filled out bill of sale with a date less than ten days prior to being pulled over. If you indeed have these things (and creating a second bill of sale with a more updated date to fall within these parameters is SOP), I would leave the prior regiistered YOM tag on the car. If it was not registered with that tag, I might leave it off. You may get pulled over but will be totally legal and will be fine. BTW, the myths about once a month judges and vicious constable are doing a great job for the anti carpet bagger campaign!! Also, street cred goes a long way in the south and a fine ride gets waved at more than pulled over. Good luck and if you have a problem near birmingham/Huntsville, feel free to call for advice/assistance, etc. 205-482-0165. Good Luck

Or cast Aluminium, I agree with Mustang.. If you're going to use wood, Use the cheapest plywood possible. That way when someone asks you can at least say -It was inexpensive....What kind of car in particular are you asking about?

So here is a thread from 2002 that may help a bit

Hursst, I apologize for the fact that you seem to be getting only snarky attempts at humor and confusing references to refridgerators. Copper Line in available and all those ends and fittings can be found and flared onto the line. It can be a little slow but fairly easy. Be patient and the true gurus on tech will answer in the next 24 hours or so with very likely links for the parts you need. You may also try The Plymouth section of the DF. I wasn't aware that the30 Plymouth had hydraulic brakes. I thought they would be mechanical like my 34 Chevy. Changing them out is a good idea, copper can weaken over the years and rupture.

If the car runs well, leave it alone. With proper use and understanding, the Vacuum fuel system is tuned for the intake abilities of the car and being gravity fed will not overpower and pressurize the carb. This pressurization causes leaks and those leaks drop down in the vicinity of the exhaust pipe. Needless to say, this is not a condition which helps with long term driveability. I have removed alll three electric fuel pumps from my 20's cars in the last few years. I had constant issues with overflow, vapor lock, dry pump from sitting and the embarassing and obvious sound of an electric pump whining away under the car.. Spent a couple hours rebuilding each stewart warner vacuum fuel tank and BAM! fuel problems fixed. Good luck with whatever you choose but gravity is the preferred method of fuel delivery to a stock 20s carb.

looks like a brass era radiator cap.

This sounds so similar to my '61 cadillac problems a couple of years ago. I did everything you have and it turned out that there was a cracked rubber line that joined the two piece fuel line above the rear axle. when that four inch piece was replaced and the mechanical fuel pump reconnected... problem solved. It was frustrating and I have a pile of fuel pump parts left over but runs like a champ now. the cracks were allow the tube to suck air but they didn't leak gas out. this created fuel starvation issues.

Notice the drag link style steering control. said to have made it the greatest balancing bike in the world. Cannonball Baker ran a delivery service using NerACars

Simple answer - yes. Judging is done to original factory specs, any other is a loss of points.

There is a keller woodie on ebay. One of three known and one of 18 built. I have one that is almost restored and the largest Keller library in the world. If you want to know more about the car you can check out Huntsville Rewound (AL/USA) Rocket City USA
It';s a good history and story. The price seems a bit high but there is no rarer Post war production woodie. - Enjoy
