Right about here you see it has Elco Twin two spark plugs per cylinder heads, which were flathead trick pieces. The distributors for these were possibly gotten from early Nash or Cord v16 engines, I recall hearing something like that a couple years ago.

Notice the rare Veda Spec knock offs, probably the reporductions.

Beautiful wood work in the back deck, and laced up boots around the shifter and pedals

Watched it, thouroughly enjoyed it! The Rolling Bones "Wicked Sisters" on a road trip from New York state to Bonneville, and we get to watch and enjoy instead of roadside repair the headgasket that blew.... now I'm all for a bonding experience that you get to relive forever as a great story of how you had to wrench on the roadside with only a flashlight to illuminate the process, but it's pretty cool to just watch from the couch as a couple of hot rodders cruise cross country to hot rod racing mecca, Bonneville.

All the drama and time limit builds on reality TV frustrate, this documentary doesn't!

It's cool just to catch a look at a couple hot rodders driving dueces, and delivering their B'ville ready race '32 to tech inspection. I was surprised at what it takes to pass tech, so the movie is informative on that aspect, as well as who and what Rolling Bones is without having to read the magazine articles (you know I just look at the pictures right?!) Another film by AtomicHotRods is Devil at Your Feet, and I'll fill you in on that in a later post, so check back!

The soundtrack is music from Electric Frankenstein http://www.electricfrankenstein.com/ and in the extra's on the DVD you can just close your eyes, turn up the volume and enjoy a flathead rapping away

If you think I've posted one of these dueces before, so did I, but it was another they must have built for a customer: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/cool-stuff-that-caught-my-attention-at.html

A compare and contrast here

Why bring dogs? I don't get it. Isn't a crowd of people difficult enough to walk around in without pushing a baby carriage with dogs in it?

To the right of the bottle opener (cool thing to have on the dash) is Jimmy Shine's autograph

Umm. . . he is the newest custom hot rod builder at So-Cal Speed Shop http://www.jimmyshine.com/bio-index.htm

Nice Plymouth custom! It's gonna be great when it's got one color

The ashtray for the back seat passengers.. yeah, obsolete as the choke lever, I know

I like the contrast of the 60's headlights and fender vs. the 08. Why do they continue to carry on a name when the next generation has no resemblence to the original? The only common factor I can think of is that they both have 4 tires.

Above: still my favorite duece for the paint scheme
