Todd Anderson\u2019s roadster<\/a> was in the shop today for some post delivery dial-in. We torqued the heads, changed the oil \u2013 and raised the tail end up another inch. While seemingly insignificant, this inch was what Todd\u2019s car needed to sit just right. To do it, Gary had to mill out a new pair of spring plates. You can see that inch in the second photo; the original plate is on top, the new one just below it.

Todd has a friend named Tony Vida who hadn\u2019t seen Todd\u2019s finished car, so Todd asked if he could bring him by the shop. They\u2019d be coming over in Tony\u2019s Deuce roadster; “a car,” Todd hinted, “that we might like to check out.\u201d Mr. Understatement.<\/p>\n

Todd and Tony arrived, we BS\u2019d in the shop for a bit, then went out to the curb to see Tony\u2019s car. Here\u2019s what we found:
\n\"TonyVida1\"<\/a>
\nTony\u2019s Deuce is genuine Henry Ford. Originally built in the 1950\u2019s, it was restored in the 70\u2019s and somehow escaped the “modernization” many hot rods of that era were made to suffer. That it was actually restored at all is probably a testament to how well the car was originally put together. That builder would be pleased to know his roadster remains in sympathetic hands.

The chrome on this roadster\u2019s underpinnings is incredibly well preserved. Obviously the shiny stuff was much more affordable in the days of bell bottoms and waterbeds. Have you priced it lately?\u00a0 There\u2019s enough here to put a kid through college.<\/p>\n

Civilized touches include a side-shift trans and a full compliment of S-W gauges, including water temp for both heads and a clock.
\n\"TonyVida5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 3 5\/16 x 4 inch flathead is as tidy and well-appointed as the rest of the car.
\n\"TonyVida6\"<\/a> \"TonyVida7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What else could we do on a sunny summer day in Santa Cruz? We fired up the hot rods and headed off to lunch.
