Edmumds high compression heads and two leaky carburetors for this Ford flathead V8. A classic old time hot rod...if you disregard the alternator!
Overcast afternoon on Flathead Lake in northern Montana. I made this shot at Flathead Lake State Park. We had stopped to take a little break from driving and I wandered along the shore of the park until I found this scene. It was a pretty gray day, so I was really wondering how this would come out, but I really like the scene with the wood and rocks. I'd love to see it in nicer conditions, but when you're traveling you have to deal with what Mother Nature deals you.

I think I was maybe being insubordinate and chose to draw blow-up sex dolls instead of rotting corpses.

"Flathead catfish are considered invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay; blue catfish have rapidly expanded into nearly every major tributary in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and flatheads are becoming more of an issue in lower-salinity tributaries. Scientists are researching how and why these catfish are spreading so rapidly."
This 1949-53 Ford Flathead V8 has some rare speed equipment. It has Grancor heads, short for Granatelli Corporation. That was founded by Andy Granatelli of STP fame. I have no details about the car itself besides the fact it is red. The photo is from 2001.
Seen at the Steel-in-Motion show in Shelby, NC. This is a fantastic Pre-1970 car and bike show at the Shady Side Dragway.

A scene captured while getting close to St. Regis Montana. This is a pretty big river. It empties into Flathead Lake. I've always heard that Flathead Lake is the largest fresh water lake this side of the Mississippi.
Have a nice day all...back to work! :P
Seen at the 17th annual Unfinished Nationals car show at the Grays Harbor Country Fairgrounds in Elma, Washington on August 29, 2009. The idea for this meet is bringing your unfinished cars and trucks.
This beautiful area is just a few miles away from Glacier National Park! Oh how I'd love to get back over this way for a photoshoot! Large view is nice!

Three o'clock, this morning, I woke up in a dream.
Thought I heard a flathead motor roar, I thought I smelled gasoline.
A feeling came upon me, that I ain't had in years.
Something like a hot dry wind, whistling past my ears.
Saying "time, time, time is all you got".
There's a memory that's still burning, way down in my mind.
And that's why, I'm going out and trying, a flathead one more time.
I ain't seen my racing buddies in thirty years, or more.
One by one I lost them, out on the dry lake floor.
We learnt to push those flathead cars as hard as they could go.
Just like old Whiskey Bob, down on Thunder Road.
I hear their voices calling, just across the finish line.
And that's why, I'm going out and trying, a flathead one more time.
I'll get back to you baby, don't you have no fear.
'Cos I been there, and I wrecked that, and baby I'm still here.
But I can't take you with me, when I cross the finish line.
And that's why, I'm going out and trying, a flathead, one, more, time.
Time, time, time is all you got.

It was a perfectly still day for fishing. Sure enough, the bay was flat when we arrived at Rosebud at about 8am.
Raymond was the first to strike gold with his octopus! He caught it on a fish-shaped lure with a shrimp for good measure :)
Julia's dad went next with a good-sized flathead. All of us got at least one fish for a total of nine flathead, all around 27cm to 28cm, and one octopus. All this in around 2 hours.
Cleaning them is another tough job, although the flathead slime did help to keep the fine scales from flying all over the kitchen. I did find some roe in one of the fish though :)

OHV conversion or maybe just a head cover, though that doesn't seem practical for a flathead engine's cooling. I notice how the spark plug wires are routed inside it. Stephens, Denver Colorado
Speedy Bill Smith bought used speed equipment from racers in the early years as they moved on to something better. He started a business selling it which grew to the big retail business it is today, Speedway Motors.

The day started off a bit rainy and cloudy, but cleared up as we checked out some antique stores in the area. The sun began to shine through and we ended up having a gorgeous boat tour of Flathead Lake!
