Firstride pics

Very interesting in the pics of the engine the Vermillion paint shows a slight orange hue . hue . I watched them mix it & they put about an inch of violet & an inch of orange in the gallon of red ..

Yes it is Abe .Some guy gave me some crap at a show last Fathers Day about the incorrect locking gas cap (it was a generic one ) so I found 2 NOS optional factory locking gas caps w/ rain flap & bought both of them . . Put one on the Firstride & the other on " Art the hot rod truck .Let me see them critique the gas caps now !!

Traded a complete unmolested '51 Magic Air heater system for the original FORD script fire extinguisher to a man in Pa. . It came w/ the mounting instructions , bracket & correct size screws . After 3 1/2 hrs of wet sanding & polishing it looks as you see it . It is not functional but at least I have one . Have seen them at Daytona in Nov. for nearly $500.00 .
