The Short Life Of A 1930 Ford Hot Rod, Pontiac Power

A story in images, funky video and music of the short life of a 1930 Ford hot rod, 1963 389 Pontiac power, backed by M-21. Built with care to resemble a period car as closely as possible. Was provided with Pete & Jake's chassis which of course is not period, but it was terrific to build and a excellent, smooth driver. Car quickly traded off as a roller in a four-way trade only Mr Haney could work. I hope you enjoy watching - Best - CW

I just gotta know...HOW the HELL did you screw up your arm!? What did the stitches come from?

[coldwar1952]

Hand held 3600 RPM electric body grinder, very powerful, fast results in use. Carborundum faced 12" 36g disc with backer, it caught the edge of a piece of steel while grinding, disc went shrapnel and caught my arm, the arm holding the steady handle. Boo on me, this was the second time it got me, this time much worse. Lots of gore, but I was quite lucky, the injury could have been devastating, but no permanent damage or effects. Stick to air powered disc grinders, use great caution! Best - CW
