Construction began in the 40&#8217;s with a top chop suitable for Bonneville, but the project stalled when the men building the car were drafted.  After that, the car got passed around until 2 years ago when Ray bought it from a guy who had stored the car for 30+ years, untouched due to health reasons.  It was a full build done entirely in the Forbes&#8217; garage on weekends by Father and son.  The 34 has an early 60&#8217;s 401 Buick Nailhead donated by a friend who was an early 50&#8217;s Bonneville racer that ran a 34 Coupe way back when (hence his # on the door, plus the original timing tag!) Inside, it has super rare P-51 stainless seats, custom pedals, an engine turned dash filled with vintage S&amp;W gauges, Schroeder steering and out back a quickchange rear end.  To cap it all off almost every nut was safety-wired right down to the taillight mount!<\/p>\n<p><em>Just add salt.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>High School Dream car?!<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Rorys\" href=\"http:\/\/pikesan.wordpress.com\/files\/2007\/08\/trouble.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[12]\"><img title=\"Rory's hot rod\" src=\"http:\/\/pikesan.wordpress.com\/files\/2007\/08\/trouble.jpg\" alt=\"Hot rods, la roadster show, vintage, nostalgia\" width=\"575\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine driving this car in high school?  Rory did and it&#8217;s the first car he built! This Model A coupe has a generous 6&#8243;chop and is covered in louvers.  When I asked how many, Rory just said, &#8220;A ton!&#8221;   I especially like the late 30&#8217;s CASE tractor grill and period looking engine with finned scoops and matching valve covers.   Inside, there&#8217;s original Weber Aircraft bomber seats still wearing the original paint with vintage aircraft lap belts.  Like dad, black steel wheels with caps roll on bias-ply tires.<\/p>\n<p>This is the kind of story you&#8217;ll find at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\">MyRideisMe.com<\/a>.
