That's the A&W Root Beer, Its just closed for the season. You try and go there throughout the summer and you cant find a spot. Its a great place to grab a few foot-longs and a gallon of root beer. I've been down in Corbin twice in the past month. My family is from down in those parts.

Check out the flared fenders.

My picture of that same car from a few weeks back.

Where was that at John?

Pumpkin Run

Old gas station. At least they are still tossing wrenches in this one!

You never know what is hiding in back yards.

Very nice!

I take it you enjoyed your trip

There was a lot of stuff to see. Never did find my Aunt's house. Oh well.

Here is what we went for.

Well did te big one fit under the rear ?

Dog had these. He was kind enough to cut me a great deal on them. Thanks again Dennis! These have a little bit of a history with me. They were on my 34 Dodge when i first got it. They didn't match the car so I took them off after a while. later I donated them to the Scroungers Falcon Gasser project. they are now back home with me. I'm going to use the front 14X5's on the 54 Chevy Truck. I have a pair for the back. Rear 15X10's will be put in stock and the first of my parts I'm collecting for a future gasser project.
Thanks again Dog!

One someone opened up for a Chevy bolt pattern the other was never messed with. Direct Ford. They are too wide anyway. They will go in stock for another project. Fronts will work fine.

Good looking picture's.I like the old garage's too.

I see the Falcon project in one pic.You got the wiring harness from under hood for it?

No all the wiring was ripped out of it. Not sure what happened to it.

You still saving up stuff for Gasser?

I have the 64 ford truck with a straight axle.

I dont need it.I just need main rails.

Sorry for derailing thread!

Wonder how wide that axle would be. I'm wanting an early 50's car for a gasser. Some of those are pretty narrow.

I will measure it.Its over at Country04's house.

The rearend is 57" wide.It has a car pattern.Someone has changed it out in the past.

I may put it in Falcon if I dont use the Explorer Rearend I cut.

If you take measurements grab the number from the center pin on the leaf springs to each other. Right in the middle of where the springs would sit in the axle. That would let me know how close the springs would be to fitting on the frame.
