    Car Parts - Add yours Phase II

    I started Mod I of this post in the wrong place after enjoying Punkjunkey's Old Car & Fuzzy Dice thread on the Critique forum.
    PJ noted that this forum would be more appropriate for this type of post and of course he is right. Thanks to those that responded to the first post - I hope you'll add a response here.
    Feel free to add your own shots of car parts.
    This shot was taken with Tri-X some years. Feel free to critique if you like.

    Ok Chunk, I'll post mine again here, since you asked so nicely. It was getting to be interesting in photo critique. good thread.

    My 1963 Chevy II that I had to sell when I bought my house last year This is the Holley 650 Double Pumper carb that I was running for a while.

    Sebs photo looks like a new mini to me.

    omg I thought so! It's my favorite car in the world. I'll never forget the first time I saw one. It was love at first sight. Now, you see a lot of them on the road, but my preference is for the original black. Damn, they're cute!

    Thanks Kit. It looks just as good over here. I really like the lusious colors in the hood.

    This shot is a good not quite mirror image of mine with the axis of symetry passing through time, color, and space. Nice shapes and forms.
    Thanks for posting.

    Sorry you had to sell the Chevy II. Nice shot of some interesting parts - carbs are the very heart of a car. Thanks.

    PS - What the heck is that bolt with the spring and nylock nut? I mean what's it's function on the carb?

    I like the art deco/ bauhaus (what's the right term?) feeling of this shot. Seems like a '30s poster sorta. Thanks again.

    Chunk..

    You could try merging yours and Sebs shot, might be interesting. You both got an almost exact angle. Great minds must think alike.

    A lot of character in those shots. That old Vdub has a bad case of cataracts.
    Thanks Gerry.

    Chunk, thanks for the look. I think the idea of posting a photo and creating a theme for anyone who wants to join in with a relevant photo is a great idea. This is done on some other sites and gives "lurkers" an easy opportunity to make their first post without really having to say anything.

    I had a "slightly" eccentric relative who made a car called the Muntz Jet between 1950-54. There was a 50th reunion in 2000 so I had to go see them - 14 were there which is probably more than have ever been in one place for a long time. Out of about 400 (nobody really knows for sure) built, only a few survive. The first shot (hopefully my photography has improved in the last four years) shows two cars that I think were built the same year, but the back ends are different. Hand built, use whatever parts were available - they don't build them like they used to ! Second shot (sorry, not car "parts") is of a car owned by a nice guy from Indiana who gave me a ride when I told him my last name.

    Forgot about these two, I was actually looking for another shot. These two are part of a collection at a hotel in Florida. Gotta love those big ol' American tail fins! OK, I'm done now...

    I like this thread. Thank you for starting it. I have too many to choose from, but I found this old truck on a vacation in the Redwoods, Northern Calif. I liked the cobwebs.

    I agree it's a great idea but it's not mine. Someone started doing that a month or two ago. I'm not sure who to credit but I know a good idea when I see one.

    Great work - all 4 shots. I had never heard of the Muntz Jet before. Where were they made?
    I really like the last shot with the relected grill.

    Well thank you for joining in. The cobwebs do add some to the shot. Do you suppose that is an early turn signal system in the first shot?

    Thanks! The Muntz Jet was made for the first year or two in Evanston IL and the last couple of years near Palm Springs CA. After that he got into TV's - he was known as "Mad Man Muntz". The reflected grill isn't the same car - looking at it now maybe it would benefit from cropping it a little around the edges.

    Both of the last two are on Provia 100F (I think...). These are quick scans but I like the kind of "off" color on the tail fin. Reminds me of Kodachrome a little, fits the age of the car.

    Yes it is...

    An old turn signal. I thought it was kind of unique. I was told you operated it with a rope.

    Where in the Redweeds? I live there, and I'd love to see that ol' truck.
    This pic is from my neck of the woods, so to speak, and it was posted in the other car parts thread as well. I kind of like how you can't really tell what's going on- a jumble of metal. The car has been sitting there for years, by the looks of it. I think some local boys probably got sick of it rotting in someone's yard and dragged it out in the woods to give it a proper redneck burial: beer, guns, and gasoline.
    I absolutely love the Caddy fins. Is that a '59? I'm a sucker for big fins, but the way into my car heart (no pun intended) is through a convertible top. I'm a ragtop man, you might say. We've got the annual car show happening in a few weeks, I'll be sure to post any good ones I get. I hope the Ford Fairlaine Skyliner shows up again- what an awesome car!
