1939 Speedo...Yin and Yang?????



Very interesting shading on this '39 speedo...it's a redish color and highlights half the face at exactly 55 miles per hour...and up....hhhmmmm...just a coincidence? Was it shaded to indicate the speed limit? Was something laying across it for years and that's the way it faded?  I guess I'll never know for sure...
It's gonna be great on my '39 project and hopefully motivates me to get it done!

Denton NC 2013...

Three Knuckles in the woods...

Matt's Knuckle


Nothin' like a good Hummer...

Forgot they have a helmet law in NC...
Matt loaned me his Capt. America


Lonnie's sweet Pan...

I usually have to delete about 20 of these per meet...I'm an idiot with the flip phone camera...
I figured I'd leave this one for no particular reason...



Tower Dave's Pan...

Out for dinner in town Wednesday night...


Lighting troubles...

Matt's switch rebuild in the parking lot...(didn't fix the problem)


Trying to figure this out...

Great summertime weather!

Back at the meet the next day still trouble shooting Matt's electrical issues...

Adam going for style points...shorts and high tops on a Hummer

Aunt Bee's Studebaker in the background...










Sweet original paint '40 EL....





Billy's Chopper...rode down from Jersey...



Showing class...

Show the squares some class...
give 'em a whiff of the kicks they'll never know...




Medication...Thanks Dave...
Nothin' cures a hangover better then another one back to back...







Dead Parts MC...












Nera-Car...

Some of the cool machines on the grounds...





Other brands...

Sun up in NC



Summertime and the livin' is easy...
(Can yuh tell my left ankle is screwed together?...
I think it needs an adjustment...)


Damn right!

Maintenance time...

Hole shots loosen stuff...
luckily everything I rattled off was available on the grounds...

Lost my gen strap nut, washer and spacer...
Old Dude to the rescue...

Kicker stand comes in handy...

Almost lost the new one...found it here...

'nuff said...

Banana Puddin'





Solvents.....

I sure will!

Once again Denton was a blast...The Southern Chapter knows how to have a great time! No snakes and no locusts this year, just great summer like weather and Southern Hospitality! I headed down early Wednesday morning for the 550 mile ride. I have a vending spot so I take the van...I actually pass through five states to get there, PA, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina. One year I'll have to get someone to drive the van so I can ride down. I can't say enough about the location...love it! Great camp sites in the woods, old machinery everywhere, great food vendors (pork loin on a biscuit!), beautiful NC roads to ride, etc., etc. I picked up some parts and got together with friends from all over the South.
