You could sell me the 69 with the LS7 for a deal Doug and then Mark you could plumb it for me.

I named it..Alan and Doug had several BS names they were considering and I thought they all sucked..i names it after The Duesenberg..which were all coach built bodies on Duesenberg Chassis..the ultimate in 30's automobiles..Since this 32 was coach built(whole body was one off and built by hand) and it was a 32 Ford, also known as a Deuce, i just changed a letter or two and made it The Deucenberg..which sounded the same but was spelled a little different..In our eyes, it was the perfect name..

My first suggestion would be to visit HUB GARAGE .COM here's the link [http://www.hubgarage.com/] click on Home then search/type in Doug Cooper garage...look at the 500 build photos I posted of the 8000 pictures that exist. that will give you an appreciation for the mods/work that went into the build...and the level of detail.

Why a B400...I'm a 32 nut...the B400 is a sedan convertible only a little over 900 were built...really rare body style..and Alan improved Henrys design without hurting it's identity!

The Name "Deucenberg" this car is styled after the coach built cars of the 30's and a bunch of the features were derived from Duesenbergs!

Bob Johnson coined the name! it fits the car perfectly!

sounds good Shaun!

Mark I'll just buy you a plane ticket when the next one needs tubing...deal?

Doug-
Any chance that ls7 camaro will be done for GG pocono this year? That would be a fun car to run the track with. I don't know if you remember that flat black camaro there last year, he said he did 150 on the straight away :unibrow:

Kenny Jr if Im at that event I'll probably have the Cuda there...love to see what it will do on the front straight...I bet a little more than 150, just get them all out of the way!!!!!!!!!

Or you could just pass the pace car like that chevelle did :rolleyes: . I'd love to see that car put through it's paces on a track. No doubt its capable of doing 150, it's just all the old guys with nailheads hogging up the track ;)

they usually throw you out for passing the pace car!

Bob had it out at The Gadsden airport [on police radar] at 185mph... with enough room I think it will top 200...we will find out...

Scott Pruet drove it at Putnam Park road course and hit approx 160 on the front straight.

:omg: I had no idea the car was that fast, or had been driven that hard. I remember when it went at barrett jackson they mentioned it being a 200 mph car. I laughed at them (i was 11 or 12). Now i feel like an idiot lol

Find the Super Rod articles on the car. They did donuts for the photoshoot.

Thanks for explaining Duesenberg to me Bob and Doug. I've seen some of the build pictures and knew a great deal of work had gone into the car. I not being a rodder didn't know really much else beyond that but heard people talk about more than just the build quality.

You mean like this one?

there is a lot of cool action shots in that gallery. I really like the one with the parachute on the back. :thumbsup:

but the chip is on my shoulder..lol..

but I don't friggen play cards and you do...

it will run 200+ with ease..it was pulling like a banshee at Gadsden which is a mile runway..of which you needed a bunch to slow down..I probably just accelerated it for about 1/2 mile or a little more..

Shawn,
You could'nt have said it better. Besides I'm getten pretty good at these 69's

Doug,
If I said yes I think Marty and a few others on here might not like that idea. :lol: I've been bribed before with that hole plane ticket thing.:rofl: In my opinion though nothing beats a well built California car. I promise it will have the nations best plumbing on it :unibrow: My buddie Allen Palmer is a pretty darn good painter. :hail: And I think that guy Tracy some where in the middle of you and me might be able to get down on some bad a$$ stichen to get it finished up on it's way home. Just a tought?

Mark

cudas are already my favorite cars but this one is my honest #1 car ever, there isnt another car you could put next to that that i would want over it. i must look at pics of it every month haha
congrats

Mark, My buddy Alan wouldnt appreciate me doing that! And I think he's proved cars out of the east aren't too shabby either! SROYx2 SMOY RIDLER SHINE AWARD CHRYSLER DESIGN AWARD etc...LOL
my point was it's just easier to FLY you across the country than haul the car... we hauled Alans roadster and the B400 to South San Francisco for Steve Coonan at Rodders Journal to shoot them in raw steel because of his time restraints and travel schedule!

Now with that said if you and Tracy wanted to have the Honor of doing a car for me than... LOL!

200mph for a car nowdays is no hill for a stepper..That damn Lambo Gallardo hitting 250mph in a mile ain't too shabby..9.1 in a quarter at 168 mph with street tires..whoever heard of such..I've always hated Lambos, but this setup is giving me a chubby...and at 65 yrs old, that's saying something..

twin turbos? what kind of HP numbers??

about 1500 to the wheels. With four wheel drive they lift the front wheels a tiny bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BwIniaHIUE

Hey it was worth a shot:lol: Not like I was throwing out a cheap painter, and stitcher. Trust me I've been folowing Alan for a long time. One of my favorite builders and insperation. Not sure if to many people see it but he does have a style all his own. His SB2 32 is one of my top two cars of all time. If you could fly out about a thousand pounds of tools and a $10,000.00 flare machine and the keys to G-Force I just might plumb a car for you.:rofl:

Mark

MARK, YOU DONT JUST CARRY A TUBING BENDER IN YOU BACK POCKET!

This 32 parked next to the Cuda! is that the one you're talking about !!!

God Dammit !!!! Now I really don't like you. :faint: Doug pleeeeease put me in your will for that 32.

I bought that 32 at Barrett Jackson 8 years ago...that's how Alan and I became friends.


I think that one is being left to my kids...that's if I don't wear it out prior...

I can be adopted ? Next time you drive it put it to the wood for me !!!!

you dont know me well enough...everytime I drive it!

Perfect. Ok since I can't be adopted, next time we cross paths you gotta let me drive it.:hail: That way I can cross it off my Bucket List.

I guess I can cross off my bucket list: you plumbing one of my cars! that's a fair exchange...LOL

You call that a fair exchange:question: Only if the car comes home with me. If so I'll throw in an extra car for plumbing.:rofl:

Damn how much do you get to plumb a car?

If you have to ask you can't afford it.:lol: At least that's what some old timer taught me :D

the big kit makes over 1,000 hp..cost well over $100K for the modifications..comes with a warranty too..not a bad deal for all the work they do..got a Tilton carbon on carbon like in the Cuda..

he can afford it but he's yiddish..can't help himself..lol..gonna change the name of the Cuda from G-Force Cuda to Gafiltafish..

Of corse he can afford it he has your car collection.:hail: I just had to say it.:rofl:

I own two of Bobs "old" cars.Battle Axe and G force...I should have and wanted to buy his green 56 big window truck years ago, but he took it ti Barrett and away it went...I have spoken to that guy but he doesnt want to part with it!! If I was into Custom Woodies Bob's would have been the one! We will see how his wagon turns out and when he gets bored with it??? Should be really cool...

Bob you and Doug both need to call SW, then you both would own a turbo Lambo! http://www.elitemotorsports.com/ Looks like he has a couple in stock....:lol:

No turbos on those Lambos... if a turbo motor sounded good I'd pull the Hemi out of the cuda reduce the compression and twin turbo charge it...but turbo motors dont have the exhaust note needed...and the Cudas got a good amount of HP!

Beleive me I here turbo motors all day long. They sound like a clogged up muffler from Kragen. Nothing beats a cammed up big inch small block.

4 cammers can sound nasty too sometimes. :cool:
