Dedicated Pre-War swap meet section at established meet in Duncan, Oklahoma 49 miles south of Chickasha You interested?
I spoke with Kevin Hammack the organizer of a currently viable Swap meet that is interested in accommodating a prewar section in this growing swap meet. I’m facing reality that a swap meet around springtime just dedicated to pre-war may not be viable long term but if there were a swap meet where the...

Re: I texted a friend asking "How was Chickasha today?"....
Stay tuned may be only halfdead…… the adventure continues. I hope that the swap meet finds a new beginning, I live in the Deep South, so in reality it’s about the closest pre war meet to me an a central location for many states. This morning, having coffee with my trophy bride of 33 years, I reminis...

He could be bringing McKinley’s, Cleveland’s, Madison’s but not Chase’s. I believe bringing a Wilson would be way over the top & just showing off.

They are unique compared to the Brown & Corcoran. Attached you will find 4 pictures Brown, E&J, Corcoran & Victor. There are 4 variations of the Victor black & Brass, the one pictured here is the second variation.

Holley H1, good carb once rebuilt (I suggest Corey Walker). You are missing a very expensive piece and that’s the fuel line pipe that forms the elbow at the male fitting on the bowl. Repairing those bowls,if you can, is a nightmare. Best John

Look at lot 588 & 596. Bob built these and they work great. 588 if you take a close look you’ll know what it is and you won’t spend 2k on it. The centerline & peg holes were off the blueprints. He added that back piece to help in alignment. It works well. No you’re not going to do 500 alignments but...

Re: Late 1911-1912 Rear Axle Housings $1750 Including Free Shipping in the lower 48
If it matters, very late 1911, definitely 1912. It appears that one backing plate with ribs(note the brake shoe side) has replaced the original style like the other pictured I believe. Like an early 09/10 or 11. Perhaps a 1915 style backing plate?

Those will need to be repaired before your start using it. If...
