It's an original frame too, and looks like it's had a mount for a Conley. Is it Hemifreak's old car?
The copies don't usually have the cutouts on the front where the bumpers would normally attach.
If the rest of it is done to the same standard it's going to be one very nice car indeed.

Thanks Dan, Yes this was Hemi's, but I am giving it a face lift..I think after all these years, a make over is due...
I just had to have the Conley Ford 9inch rear, this was the icing on the cake for me...

Glad to see you're making it your car, so from now on that's what we'll call it...... Pete's car.

It's not really about affording it, cause no matter what we always find a way....
But the problem is trying to find the stuff to get it together, that's the real deal.

Status: offline 		That looks real good Pete. You nailed the look. Those rims work heaps better against that colour than they did on the red.
As much as a Conley is nice in these things, I think I prefer the zenoah in them where they came with them originally.

Here's a few more pics for inspiration (this one on eBay a while back)..

Status: offline 		Been a while since I did anything to the 34, primarily because I was considering selling it to someone who desperately wanted one. They've since bought one, so I might get back to working on this thing. Still undecided about what motor to run. While i'd like to see the thing restored with a basic old G2D, putting a TS 30.5cc Reed motor in it appeals from an asthetic point of view. Not entirely sure the Skellenger rear would hold up to the power though.....but it would look better.

lol.....I'd rather you do it than watch. I'll send it, you assemble it, and then return it. lol. The only trouble with the TS motors is no instructions. Fortunately there are a few guys around now who have done very helpful assembly threads. I'd hate to mess it up, but you can only sit looking at it so long. Although I loathe the term "bling" with a passion, they are certainly neat




Not sure if I ticked all the right boxes with the parts, but it's got 2mm stroker stuffer crank, Walbro 813 carb, standard flywheel, not sure on ignition yet, and the rest you can see (except for filters and all the little bits that came with it etc). Haven't picked up a clutch for it yet. Still looking at the best option.

Status: offline 		Back in the early to mid 90's, I called Conley and inquired about possibly buying one of his engines and would like to see more info on it. As it turned out, a gentleman by the name of Lou Riccipio who lived in my area was shipped one to be "detailed" and built for one of his customers. They gave me Lou's contact info and I called him. He invited me to his home to see it. As it turned out, if you bought a Conley engine and wanted it assembled, it went to Lou to get done. Conley sold it as a "kit" that you built but some people were not capable of building it. So, I went to Lou's house. Lou did not have a house, he had a workshop that looked like a house! IT WAS AMAZING! Lou was a retired engineer/machinist who did work for Conley and Buddy L! To try to shorten this story, he showed me the engine AND the 32' Ford roadster he was doing for this customer. The engine was polished up like a chromed engine and was Supercharged. The roadster was fitted with hydraulic brakes, leather seat with springs in them. He even had it set up that when you turned the power on the car to "on", the license plate dropped down! Real work of art. At that time, he told me that his customer had $9,000.00 wrapped up in this thing. A couple months later, he stopped at my work and dropped off some "Polaroids" of it for me and informed me that the customer had not paid for it and it was for sale. If I didn't have a wife then, I would have owned it!!! If I can locate the photos, I'll scan em and post but they will be very low quality due to Polaroids.
