More top quality work from Bonehead!

[poolmike]

I have been helping a friend(whether he wants my help or not) with his '34 Ford pick-up street rod project. This truck belonged to one of Philadelphia Modifiers original members, and was chopped/modded back in the early '40s with a Chrysler drum brake swap and an Olds 303 engine adapted to the original Ford trans. It was left basically abandoned in a collapsed garage in Philly since the mid-'40s. Time to bring it back to life, with as many of the original mods as possible.

I can't thank Chuck at Bonehead Performance enough for his patience, his unmatched quality in preparation and finished product, and insanely fast turnaround time. The parts from this truck are just oooozing with 50+ year old grease and grime, and Chuck has taken every measure to insure 100% quality.

The frame is painted in '40s Cadillac Ruby Red and the body will receive the same color, as it was back in it's day. The rest of the chassis parts have been coated.

I couldn't get any good pics, but more will come when he gets the motor sitting in the frame again.

We will be coating in our Morrisville location until the 18th. After the 18th we will be starting our powder coating work out of our Warminster shop. We will be in and out of Warminster form the 18th until the new year probably but feel free to stop by and check out our new shop.

That would be cool, but this is a pre-Rocket engine. I believe the valve covers and intake will be polished.

**EDIT** After a little(like 2 minutes) research, I found that it is considered a 'Rocket' and also one of GM's first production V8 engines.

Also, Chuck just powder coated the front engine mount which is an original pre-Hurst product. It was made by Hurst specifically to mount the Olds engine in the Ford chassis. It was produced by Hurst in his own garage before he was actually in business. Sort of a rare part.

Yeah I believe the Rocket was 1950's but the look is good and goes well together. All the old heads will know the color scheme.

Bumpin' this one up. Thanks for another fantastic job, Chuck. Hopefully the intake will be bolted up next week and the Chassis will get finished. More pics to come.

Im glad you guys have a shop closer to me now. Im definitley gonna have to take advantage of that.

BTW, I have a grea idea for you guys. Now you have a shop near Blair you should show them some chrome powder coated ****, because if you ever seen their trucks you know they are chrome whores.

[poolmike]

Yeh, Brian does like shiny rigs.

Mike, I saw the lawn and garden sign in the background. I can't remember the guys name, but Jim Mitchell took me over to his place accross from Wawa a couple times. Is it the same guy?

Oh, and did you know Jim? He just died. I was sround and helping him restore his hot rod pickup until someone took it out on his first ride on the street.

Yeh, It's Butch's truck. He is my neighbor and he closed up the lawn/garden shop. I knew Mitchel, but not real well. We almost lost Dick Linton also...

I used to work at a shop in Wrightstown. The owner was a member of the Philadelphia Modifers. On occasion his hot rod buddies would bring their cars in for service. Whenever it was transmission related my boss would always call up Richard Linton and ask his advice on the problem. Is this the same guy? I hope he's okay, he was a really nice guy. I actually helped him put a new rear in a late 60's corvette a few years ago. That guy really knows his way around hot rods.

That's him. He is the master of transmissions and diffs.

So, you worked for Danny??


Anywho, we should be talking about Bonehead's quality work, since he is the best.

[ketchup!]

HAHAHA, I forgot about Danny and his ****** pink hot rod. Was that a Model A?

And Bonehead rulez

Speaking of which, Chucky, if you are reading this, what would the cost and turnaround be to powder coat 4 20" wheels off my SRT?

[poolmike]

PM him Tiny. I don't think he gets a lot of time to read this stuff.

And yes Dick Linton is the man when it comes to transmissions and rears. He has done a few for me in the past and does great work. Hope he is doing ok.

[poolmike]

Some updates on this project. The front wishbone needs to get modified slightly and then re-coated. Other than that, Butch's truck is coming along nicely.


Some nice work by Mr. Bonehead on this engine. 303 Oldsmobile, with a rare Nicson dual carb intake. The generator has been outfitted as an alternator.

I love this truck. I feel privileged to help Butch work on it. He is a true craftsman. The finished product will be nothing short of beautiful.

[ezdrummer]
