Went to a car show yesterday (as a spectator, too hot to spend the day). I saw this trailer and honestly, my first thought was "man, these A#%%#@!@s are giving new meaning to the phrase "trailer queen". then I saw the info posters/signs and realized it's where it should be and appreciated the risks involved bringing it to a show. This car was bought indirectly from Babe Ruth's widow. The guy that owns it bought it from a NY dealer who did buy it from Mrs Ruth a short time after Babe's death. The middle man only had it for a few weeks.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Is he thinking  Y-Block, FE, or crate engine??
  :003:

(I believe they're the only vehicle that doesn't get dinged in judging for a substitute engine.)

Seriously, a great find. Thanks for the pic.

  I wonder if there are any pictures of Babe Ruth in the car or at least standing by it. It would probably add a bit of value with photos.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Been there, done that!  Spruance class destroyer in a VaCapes storm.  Green water on the bridge windows, super structure ended up with a 3/4" crack starting just behind CIC and running down to the main deck.  Aluminum structure, steel hull/main deck.  That was a long night as I was one of two officers that weren't down hard with sea sickness.

We've missed you, Joe, but you obviously have a good reason. Wow, gonna be a hellofa shop. Nice work. Going to add a concrete floor after? Better hurry...unfortunately winter will be upon ya before you know it.

Great to have you back Joe !
That looks awesome ! So its also first doing concrete foundations, consrtructing the wall structures and finally pouring the floors?

When you talk about that to European constructors, they only shake their heads. Sometimes I can't believe how stupid and complicated everything over here is....

any dimensions for the layout ?
I have been a long time and still am thinking about a proper shop building and it's always fun to learn about what other guys build.
loving your pics, Joe. thx for posting !
