A Dusky Flathead (Platycephalus fuscus) among seagrass (Halophila) and bubble algae (Colpomenia sinuosa). Shelly Beach, Manly, NSW
On our way to Zips Place Cabin. The snow covered peaks of Glacier National Park can just barely be seen on the far left horizon, our final destination.
Highway 28, Montana.
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.
Edmumds high compression heads and two leaky carburetors for this Ford flathead V8. A classic old time hot rod...if you disregard the alternator!
This is the AMT 1/25th scale 1929 Ford Model A Roadster kit, it was the ALA-Kart kit that was introduced in 1962, this was a second series introduced in 1970 maybe. I built this when I was about 14 and I actually mixed the main color with green and black in a Testor paint bottle to make this olive green color. The entire body including fenders was brush painted, which you can tell in a few spots. The fenders and interior pieces all turned out pretty good, but the body does show some bad spots along with the chrome trim I did. This model did start out completly stock and somewhere along the line it got damaged as some of them did by falling off the shelf. The front axle was broken and I decided at that point I would make this a street rod.
To make it a street rod I did some major kit bashing, which I loved. I had a 1931 Ford Model A Sedan Delivery kit from Revell. I actually hated how that kit went together and it never looked right on the shelf. I painted it brown and just didn't like it nor did I want to fix it. So after this 1929 was broken I decided to part out the Revell 31 Ford. I had to replace the radiator and the front axle along with find wheels and tires from another kit to fix my favorite 1929 Roadster. It has a V8 flathead now which was an extra AMT motor from another kit. It fits pretty good. It is missing the windshield in the photo but I do have it. The axle is broken again and in 3 pieces so it needs a new one. The wheels are not even connected, just sitting there to hold the 29 up. I just love this kit even in this condition. It shares the same box my 1953 Studebaker is in.
Note I didn't paint the 1931 Revell Model A radiator in the back and this was the actual color of the Revell kit I took the grille and radiator from. The Flathead V8 is from another AMT kit and fits pretty well in there. The carb setup is from one of my other dragster models and sort of glued it to the top intake, I like the affect.
What did Lena spot on the sandy bottom? The dusky flathead is a camouflaging champion :)
Qu'est-ce que Léna a aperçu sur le fond sableux? Le "dusky flathead" (platycephalus fuscus), est un pro du camouflage :)
Taken at the Antique Motorcycle Club of America's 2nd annual Southern National Meet in Denton, NC. Lots of cool old bikes of all makes and models.
Dozens more antique motorcycle pictures in the Smugmug gallery!

I think I was maybe being insubordinate and chose to draw blow-up sex dolls instead of rotting corpses.
This flathead V8 engine is in an an UNRESTORED 1947 Cadillac Series 62. This car was a garage find from the San Francisco Bay Area and it looks like new. It has some patina on it, but the overall condition is unreal!
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.
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.
A few of these bikes I’ve posted since Thursday have been in magazines such as Greasy Kulture, BSH, 13 etc etc .
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.
