Re: Lombard 7-8-06
-------Everything about the flathead in that rod is cool. I dont think I have ever seen a set of those heads. They reposition the plugs.......a lot. Blower is a Latham and, I think, massively over driven with that huge crank pulley. I also wonder about the cooling. I can see the bottom hoses going forward and down. Would love to hear that thing run. It must really cackle!!! Front brakes are also very unusual......Bill S

Re: Lombard 7-8-06
Wow Ken...cool shots! I thought I saw your Nova in the background in one of the first pics.
I, too like Bruce's Silver SS396 Camaro  Two things though: 1) It's great that you drive your Nova...though out here if you want to wash your car, you had better get up about 4:30 am...while it's still only 85 degrees. 2) You have got to stop hanging around with Charley...those "Ha's" are getting out of control    Thanks for the pics!

Re: Lombard 7-8-06
Ken, Very cool car!
 My friends in the 2 Cobras didn't like the rain coming out of Wisc so we left. Darren, the car looks excellent with the redlines. When are the fronts going on the car? Rob

Re: Lombard 7-8-06
I was spent after mounting the rears over the weekend. Should take me a week to work up the energy to do the fronts.
