More Diamond History.

I must admit...I am Totally fascinated by the past History of Hot rods and Customs.... well..let me back that up... the history of ownership and the changes that were made to vehicles thru out the years.
The whole topic is so interesting.
My present build(32 five window)..really has no history......well none I can find....just one beat up 32 Ford.
But my truck is a different story....  about 4-5 different owners thru-out its Hot Rod years.....Many changes.and many looks......
One of the pics below is the day I bought it at Waterdown swap meet....I think it was 89 or 90.The man who is seated is Don Drywood form the lake Erie area....Port Rowan I think.Don was a very nice man... but now is suffering form the late stages of Alzhiemers.
Very sad.

Here is where is all began and some pics of where it was.
If ANYONE out there has pics or HISTORY... Please call me.
I actually found the man who originally chopped the roof and I talked to him at length.I asked how the slight curve on the roof was done and if he could remember.....

His gruff response.........

"Over a F***ing log!"



ha ha ..classic.

History in pages....

I was thumbing thru some of my old mags..when I found another little bit of history on the "Diamond Deuce". Car Craft August 1962 had a small pic from there monthly features of car shows around North America.
Pretty interesting.... but the facts were incorrect. It did not have a 39 trans.. had a LaSalle tranny... and not sure about the 40 rear.I have heard others who remembered different.
None the less.. kind of neat.
I love my Old Mags........

Just Because......

I love the shot.....Thanks John Tullis.

Diamond Deuce...1/24 Scale!!!!!!

So about 8-9 months ago I get a message from a certain fella... Paul Scott out of Kentucky. A certified Gearhead since birth... he has a great ability(unlike me) to build very cool models.

I was very astonished when I was shown his latest creation.... The Diamond deuce in 1/24 scale!!!

I was floored!!!

Scratch built and honed to perfection..I am simply amazed at how much killer work he has put forward!... the devil is in the details and Paul has left nothing to spare....

Headers,nerf bars,stance,color and bed....wow...........

I,... on the other hand was the kid who got paw prints all over the windsheild.

Awesome,awesome work Paul....and Thank you!
