Re: Beater Calender
heres mine the guy i got it from didnt want it cuz it didnt run he thought the fuel pump was gone, so me and my friend put a bita gas in it dropped a battery in her and started it up fired up fine barly turned over once then it died after bout 5 seconds then we tried again and found we could make it run for 30 seconds if we pumped it a bit, so we fired it up and pumped like crazy musta been reved like 5k or higher for bout 5 mins and now it will idle un touched for about 1 minute so we cranked the idle speed up and it works fine i think the back brakes are shot and the motor has more power than my every day truck same engine/setup 350 it does one heck of a smoke show tho im gonna trade motors after i fix the beater motor up nice any way enjoy

Re: Beater Calender
its nearly impossible to find cars that old in such a condition in the netherlands sure it looks rusted but its all fixable from the looks of it .
a lot of the ones before the 40's got scrapped for iron in worldwar 2 and wat was left after the 50's is now reduced to a small pile of rust ......kindah sad actually its too humid here in the netherlands for cars to stay pristene longer than 20 years , when there are older cars driving here there usually imported from the states or more inland europe like swiss or germany

Re: Beater Calender
Yeah, that is one reason she sits. Because I have no where better for it and it has lasted 37 years right there. My gramps parked it there the day he got the 68 and never touched it again.

Re: Beater Calender
Oh Boy, is this right up my alley or what! But which of my beaters to choose?! My DD I guess (and my loyal companion of avitar fame). Pics taken today during an intake manifold change...otherwise I would have chosen a better backdrop. In true beater style, the throttle linkage was created with office equipment and works great.

Re: Beater Calender
Man I love these period bed/camper tops, shame I can't find one over this side of the atlantic, it'd certainly stop my bewd wood getting wet! My old series IIa landrover had a throttle cable lashed up from bits of pushbike brake cables and my current daily driver has a hood release made from another one after the original snapped and they wanted a ridiculous amount for a new one.
I've found a few 1930's cars in my travels around France that would be usable including one I've got my eye on as a potentail rat rod. Our laws here in the UK mean that most of your beaters would never be road legal here.

I think both of mine are beaters. But this one fits the description best! Glad someone else but a burb in. Anyone want it?

Re: Beater Calender
My beater, other than rust holes in everything it drives really nice. Oh and the PO used a lil galvanized steel to patch up the floor and roof. ITs all comin out now.
