Hi Ho SILVER

[RussC]

Silver has set far too long. It's out of mothballs and back in the shop. Floats are stuck...plugs fouled. I should be getting good at this. Adding a mechanical oil pressure gauge

I hope you don’t mind me asking the history of this car ......is there any historical significance..... I don’t remember having seen this before...... can you tell me more .......Thank you in advance Russ

 

[Phil Reed]

Keith......me thinks Russ built it.

 

[RussC]

I guess Philip assumes I'm not historic He is correct I did put the car together. It was originally a 340 hp car. The fenders are from the Sahara Grey Ghost. The bumper almost certainly came from the same car. The hood and top half are of undetermined source. Kind of a Johnny Cash car

Yes...those are my fenders. When the car was discovered it came with NOS fenders. The car was restored with the NOS

I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen pictures of the” Sahara “

How did Johnny Cash amass all that aluminum?

 

[RussC]

" one piece at a time...didn't cost me a dime"

 

[heddrik]

Riiiight!!!

With your fan shroud looking to be aluminum,that brings up the question what were all the aluminum parts in the Z-11 package,besides the hood,fenders, and bumper?

 

[RussC]

Bumper brackets...grill brackets...front and rear bumpers
