Fun with flatties...

[mk]

Just swapped a '49 flatmotor into dad's '48 tudor. Got her running today. Set up a couple of milkcrates and took it out on the pavement for run. Hit 60 before we turned around
He said it was just like an old stockcar he once drove, except for the glass...

Good afternoon Mike!

Those are great photos of a truly interesting car. Do you happen to have any video clips of it running? I'd find hearing its engine fascinating, since I've never heard a flathead run. I've heard that their sound is quite distinctive!

My next truck build I want to do a 1966 F100, with a flathead.

I was out at Neptune's Net a couple of weeks ago and snapped a couple of pics of this ratrod flattie with my cell phone camera...
