Moose's Adventure...

[Mark D]

Moose made a small modification to his inline powered "A" this summer. Found some pictures of the "operation" that where taken and the Alter-Boys cruise this past August. Use the next button at the top of the page to see the show after you've clicked the link.

We're gonna have to rely on Moose to update us with the final shot as it seems the photographer didn't bother??!!...

Gutsy move. Hope it ended well. I'm sure with Moose's talents it did. Lots of great pics.

Like they say - anyone can restore an old car.....it takes a real man to cut one up. I can appreciate the before and after as much as the next guy, but the "during" makes me queesy. Like jumping out of an airplane, the only time its a problem is when your standing in that door, and the next move is to jump - my fellow Paratroopers out there know what I'm talkin about Getting to the door is a piece of cake, once your out its nice and peaceful (unless someone is not looking forward to your arrival, and is shooting at you on the way down).

Dan,

You are a better man than me, I don't think I could jump out of a perfectly good plane, but in the same token, it has to be an AWESOME experience.

I'll just say, I am satisfied. My friend, one of the Alter Boys, called me a week before the show. He said the other car that they were going to use, got sold and they needed another one. I had to think about it for quite awhile. Then I said OK. Drove the unchopped car to the show about 11am. Drove it home chopped at around 11pm. They even had a windshield there ready to go!

Looks great. Gotta come see it in person.

[oldodge41]

Moose, I love it! That looks great. How many inches did you chop it?

[moose]

Three inches. They call it a gentleman's chop. I'm a tall gentleman, I guess.

Mark- What are you doing Sunday?

And now that its done, its "nice and peaceful", and looks GREAT....

[1940plymouth]

Yes, it sure looks good, not a radical chop.

Please keep us posted

Moose - I'll drop you a txt tomorrow as soon as I get a chance to speak with my bride. Sunday is supposed to be a great weather day, perfect for a ride down in the Plymouth.

Your place is great, very envious for sure. Next trip down I say we pull the dizzy from my car and give it a whirl on your tester. Love to see what it says. By the way the, Ruby seemed to perform alittle better on the return trip after you made those carb tweaks. Not a stutter, stumble or stall on the 42 mile ride home. I'm happy. Let me know if you feel like headed back to the old 'hood anytime soon. I owe you a beer or two or three.
