ROOTS

Look at the hotrod in this photo. It looks like twenties or early thirties, and now you know from whence we come. Some cat Hopped Up his + or- 1925 Model T mechanically and aesthetically. Buffalo wire wheels, Hot rod cylinder head (has to be because the exhaust comes out the left side) and, get a load of that exhaust stinger with the muffler at the end.

Pease brothers early hot rod.
That muffler is a Wheeler, they tell me, which is a cut-out equipped muffler controlled from the cockpit. Hi tech!

Let's do some of this. Not T's like Buttera's IFS-CAD-Jag, but real Model T's.

Three pedals, throttle and spark advance on the column. We been studyin', ya see. The parts are real easy and lots of stuff is reproduced.

Most of the knowledgeable people are gettin' up there, but maybe we greying Hop Up guys should take the baton.

Rajos, Fronty's Warfords, Ruxtells. There's alot to play with and this stuff is a kick.Go backwards, Dudes! We have to know our roots. It didn't start after WWII.

We have gotten pretty interested in all motorsport history and if y'all want to hear a sniblet here and there, tell us, and we'll share some of our research with you.
