Cool photo. If you could somehow make it a black and white, it’d look like a newspaper photo from back in the 50s.

Bump. Here’s my own entry, so far.
I might tape the headlights and try again though.

Next week is fine, Roy. And thanks, all for thinking about the calendar. I’d like to get the thing done by early December if possible.Love that Frazer-Nash car, btw.

I’m beginning to get the idea that I am one of the older members but with very little “seniority”. That being said, I agree that one should have to be a member.
Is there a deadline for photos submissions for the calendar. ’52 MIGI is having her hair done and won’t be ready for her glamor shot until next week. -

Nice pictures of ” FL Bug Jam”. And you are both right it should be club cars only.

paul,The alternator is right behind the fan inside the fan shroud. Just like a standard big only with the fan and alternator reversed. Cools the alternator as well I guess.And I agree that the cars in the calendar should be forum members.

Love that Bernie fan kit. But somebody help me out here…where oh where do they hide the generator or alternator?
I vote for only forum member cars on the calendar. And while the one pictured is a great color and the exposure is nice, it’s really not a great “calendar shot” with the cluttered background, the man behind the car…. -

That’d make a good calendar pic but does the TD belong to anyone in the club? Anyone from the FL area recognize it and/or know the owner?newkitman40863.4105092593

Ray,
Both bumpers and overriders were not chrome. They were painted a flat (as opposed to glossy) silver. -

A three carb setup should also be fitted with a progressive linkage so that only the center carb is actuated at less than half throttle somewhat like the three two barrel system of the late 50’s.Please post pictures when you get it all worked out.
