A submarine with only 1 dive in it. Anything can be a submarine - once...

 

Yea, I never tried it on the munimula (aluminum spelled backwards)... I have run it many times on a stand. The ignition is magneto just like a lawn mower but the coils are shot, so I made a timer and run it on two model T coils. I have two aluminum drop tanks from an A6 naval jet that are about 22 feet long and I'd like to build a streamlined catamaran from them with the aerothrust mounted back aft. I have an old ford axle with artillery wheels to build a trailer for this boat if and when I get around to it. This would be far more stable than the canoe and would look just right trailering down interstate 5 behind the woodie at about 45 mph. PS Munimula was an aluminum planet on the Ruff and Reddy cartoon show on Saturday mornings in the late 50s.

 

 

Great info right there, hehehe

 

Awww Man!

Do not tease!

That'd be just plain cruel to us, not to do!

 

Mike (tacomacream) is right... We need to get back to the thread. I'll start one up for the catamaran, but only if I use that 59ab that's on my engine stand.

 

Lol, I would like to continue with this truck thread although almost every '47 and older Ford truck pic may be here now! I am looking forward to the boat thread.

 

Very snappy 1/2 ton bread truck!

 

I haven't made any progress on my T for awhile. I am trying to decide which $2,000 part of the project I want to take on next.

We love seeing the old vehicles in the movies. That's the first thing mentioned when one of my buddie's wives bring home some old movie to watch. Oh, I guess people stream a movie now, whatever that is..... But I love the sight and sound of the cars (mostly trucks) in my old favorite 'Hoosiers'..

 

I like the early Andy Griffith for a lot of reasons one of which is the old Fords

 

One of my favorites is when Gomer gets out of his (or Wally's?) '56 straight cab and does a citizen's arrest on Barney:

 

Haha! Good old fashioned humor.
