The Worlds Most Expensive Stromberg 97

Fri, 25 May 2007 09:07:45 GMT

POSSIBLY THE WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE CARBURETOR

-not just your average Stromberg 97

...

I thought You guys would find these pics (never before seen on the www) and accompaning text interesting..

Take a close look at the attached pics (Beow) of what appears to be a 'Plastic' Stromberg 97 carb..

OK,

Here's the story........

SLA or Stereolithography is a prototyping process that produces a solid 3-dimensional object in a vat of liquid resin using a computer controlled/motorized lazer beam. The lazer is positioned and controlled from a 3D CAD file of the object to be built.

-As the Computer interface and 3-D Cad File positions the motorized head, the laser beam heats/cures the object as it descends one slice at a time into the vat of liquid photopolymer or resin. Photopolymer is a similar to film for a 35mm camera in that Light imprints or cures the image.

The actual laser beam will not penetrate down into the vat of liquid photopolymer but it will 'cure' the very top surface or 'film' of the liquid vat.

The Laser follows the 3d cad design exactly and very accurately from a 90 degree position over top of the iquid vat. The object is 'burnt' one layer at a time as the layer traces the cad file.

The layers can be described as similar to a deck of cards... Once one layer is 'Burnt/Cured', the object is lowered a few thousands of an inch and the object is again covered by liquid resin. The laser then 'burns' or cures the next dimensional slice on top of the slightly submerged object.

The process is then repeated.

..Once the object has fully descended into the vat and the laser has cured it's last actual 'slice', the object is carefully raised from the tank and emptied of any liquid resin then it's off to the infared oven for cureing.

The resins for this process are about $800 per gallon which translates to fairly expensive prototyping.

These images were sent to me by Clive Prew in June of 2004 while he was still in the development stage of what would soon become the all new Stromberg 97's.

He was not interested in selling or giving away the delicate Prototype but he was willing to send me some early prototype pics which you see now.

The New 97s have been out for several years now so there is no danger of giving away any patented or prototype 'trade' secrets.

I thought I would share these neat pics with you guys. I do know that these prototype pics were emailed to the cad design team as well as myself. I believe that these two particular polyresin images have not been posted anywhere on the www before. The images are also fairly low res compared to the originals (for obvious reasons ). Clive still holds the copyrights to the 3D CAD design that made this Resin Prototype and the subsequent new Stromberg 97's.

It is interesting to note that this resin carb is actually capable of metering fluid and air into a proportional and accurate "fuel to air" ratio. The SLA process is accurate to .003 inches so even the threads of a small screw hole are accurate to the original item which is scanned into the cad file by a laser beam.

The pics were taken on the day that Clive returned to his office with the prototype freshly cured and out of the oven. Clive was in the midst of carefully assembling the delicate Stromberg 97 with the appropriate hardware/fittings/screws/parts that would eventually be used on the forthcoming -all new- Stomberg 97's.

Clive Prew had to jump through more than a few hoops in reverse engineering the original Stromberg 97s. I do recall that the ball end of the throttle and/or choke actuating levers presented their own unique problems. The sweat was in the details all of which is history now.

"Upholstery"

Paul Williams

FROM THE MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE -1974

Carburetors man, that's what life is all about
That's what life is all about
That’s what life is all about
That's what life is all about
That’s what life is all about

I was not myself last night
Lost a fight, my woody barely running
By a dude I should have beat
And on the street a blow like that is stunning

I finally lost control
And tore my tuck-n-roll
Upholstery - Where my baby sits up close to me
That's supposed to be what our life is all about
Upholstery where my baby sits up close to me
That's supposed to be what our life is all about

Of all life's mysteries the greatest one I've seen
My short runs better when it's clean

I was not myself last night
Ran a light without my registration
Where the cops were bound to see
And you know me already on probation
I wound up on parole
I tore my tuck-n-roll
Upholstery - Where my baby sits up close to me
That's supposed to be what our life is all about
Upholstery where my baby sits up close to me
That's supposed to be what our life is all about

The roots of Hotrodding

Sat, 31 Dec 2005 02:07:55 GMT

For a brief period, I had several albums posted of customers cars and their build progress. I pulled the albums down for the time being as I'm worried about copyright/image theft. Not sure how I can copy protect proffesional photos on the net so pics of my work are temporarily hidden.

SO ...

This is what has prompted me to sort out and post several photo albums

>>> OF <<<

"'people doing what people do best"',

> wreck things !! <

Well, ? Yes......

..... no one ever would have believed that things like 1932 "duece" five window coupe bodies could ever have been worth their weight in Gold today.

So here you are...

A veritable feast of $25,000 + cars being

Thrashed Bashed Smashed Trashed and Crashed.

I couldn't imagine how many multi-millions of $$$ in hotrod bodies are being wasted in these photos... There's more than one hundred 1932 'duece' coupes pictured here, not to mention Roadsters, Mercurys, Model As, Lincolns, 34s and 40 coupes....

These photos are the Indisputable proof as to where the hotrods roots are grounded,

.......and to Where it all began,

and to what a real hotrod was......

.... Just

A stripped down Ford with a Flathead V8 under the hood.

RECENT VISITORS TO MOE'S GARAGE

Some older pics added

Sun, 17 Jul 2005 02:32:21 GMT

I Thought I would post a few pics of my 41 businessmans coupe that was recently sold to make way

for the 5 window coupe and current 31 roadster build.

I bought the 41 years ago when it was umpteen colours of ugly (at least three different faded paint jobs).

It had 89,000 miles and hadn't run since 1973. It took several months to reasearch/find rebuild kits and parts for things like the generator, starter, carb and fuel pump. Total cost to get it running was about $125. Which included $67 for a new battery. It smoked a little but after 500 miles the rings re-seated and it ran fairly well.

This car would actually lay rubber. ((The things is 50 years old when I get it and What do I make It Do))??

Sure miss that thing, I loved the coupe body style - so round. It was a nightmare to try and back up in a straight line what with no visibility and tiny little "peep" mirrors. Although It spent its days here in grey swuede, It still would attract alot of attention at cruises and shows, with its original flathead v8. In my part of the country, you don't often see flathead V8s anymore. Most flattys were pulled out and scraped in the 60s thru the early 90s. Now those same guys that put newer v8s in are lookin to get their old flatheads back. Built Flatheads are the 'real hotrodders' way to go these days. But in most areas, they are hard to find (not built since 1954) and demand a fair price. Rebuilding can get pricey too. And that's a huge deterent.

Still there are some old gearheads out there that prefer the original Hotrod motor, I guess I'm one.

(there's about a dozen V8s in the garage hiding in nooks and corners, most of them are the 1949 to 54 model flathead)

You ever notice that there are lots of old Fords at carshows? Mostly with the hood closed? It's because

the owners are literally embarresed to show their engines off, they aren't the original flatheads. The newer style v8 that most people instal are currently refered to as "belly button engines", everybodies got one

On the up side of things, I was informed today that the boss has ordered my radiator for the roadster build.

Although this is a 31 build up, I'm using a 32 grille shell, whch is pretty traditional and is by far better looking.

So the radiator will have to be a custom brass unit designed to mount to a 31 with 32 grille and 50 merc motor.

It sounds more complicated than it really is. The price is pretty steep though, lucky I get the 'working at the rod shop' discount.

The rad will be custom built by http://www.thebrassworks.net/

especially for my build. Hopefully it will ship in 6 to 8 weeks.

BTW, the 35 in the background of these pics is a really nice original 38,000 mile car. It has also been sold as I have so little room in my shop.

Time to find a new garage to occupy..........

Happy hotrodding,

On another note,

When I first started fooling with the idea behind creating moe's garage, I googled the name to see if moesgarage.com was taken, low and behold it was not. But some ahole cyber squatter followed up on my search for moe'sgarage.com and went ahead and registered the name. Now this Ahole expects me to pay big $$$ to purchase the moesgarage.com domain name. What kind of a world do we live in where people steal your ideas and then expect you to pay big money for them? You will find the real idea behind moesgarge.com right here. Even though some ahole has stolen the name moe'sgararage.com, this is were you'll find the real thing.

Welcome Fellow Hot Rodders

Fri, 15 Jul 2005 02:00:11 GMT

Hello and Welcome to Moe's Garage.

The scope of moe's garage will generally revolve around all things HotRod.

Over the next few weeks, I will be adding photos of my own current HotRods and Garage

happenings as well as pics of some of the projects/HotRods that belong to customers.....

I grew up in a small North Alberta Lake where my Father and Grandfather operated a Royalite

Gas Station/Garage.

Royalite was one of the western Canadian oil companies that helped start the oil boom here in Alberta.

The Garage was about 2 miles down the highway from the house and I often walked down for a visit after school just to see all the neat treasures of the Garage. Dad would always pull a cold pop out of the Coke Cooler

and we'd share a soda before heading home for dinner.

This page will reflect many of the neat things that were found in the old garages and gas stations of the 50's 60's.

Old Pop machines and soda signs, tools and real hotrods will be featured here.

Anyway, lets start this page with a couple of pics of my current Blown Flathead build up.

This will eventually morph into a 31 Model A (either a rumble seat roadster or the 5 window with rumble seat pictured)

My 31 5 window is a very rare (one of about 85) Canadian made car. With only 56,000 miles (about 85,000 kilometers), it is hard to justify butchering. Other than some nice rims, this car is all stock model A and is fun to drive (I always take tools with me)

Problem is that the new 31 buildup is stuck at it's current state due to the fact that I don't have another

model A body 'kickin' around so I either sell the 5 window coupe to finance a roadster body or I rob the body off of it.

decisions decisions.......

The collection of old signs and "gas station" memorabilia are the beginings of a 'Hotrod and Memorabilia'

Museum that will revolve around the garage's of the 50's and all the things a person would find in them.

Museums are usually personnely funded and run by individuals as a non-profit attraction.

As such, they take years to plan and actually develop into an 'Open' attraction.

I have more than a few years ahead of me and many a bridge to cross before I can actually hang an 'open' sign on a building. Also, as with all museums, donations of items is always appreciated.

............

More pics will follow shortly so check back often and remember to bookmark this site.

Photo Album: REPAIRING A SET OF OLD DENTED HEADLIGHTS FOR THE ROADSTER PROJECT

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:24:35 GMT

REPAIRING A SET OF OLD DENTED HEADLIGHTS FOR THE ROADSTER PROJECT

I ended up purchasing several pairs of workable headlights for $10 or $20 per pair. On the left is a early/mid 40's Ford Truck Headlight with a park light built into the pod.

The center HL is an old aftermarket BLC brand Headlamp. The BLC's were a replacement HL Assembly that was Popular In the 30's 40's and 50's as a replacemnet for 1920's 30's Headlights that used large reflectors and Huge Lenses. On the right is the rather small (chrome) Dietz..

The Dietz Headlights are fairly small compared to the medium size of the BLC's....

The 30's 40's Ford Truck Headlights are the Largest of the 3 But the Large Truck Headlight is Designed to be used in conjuntion with it's Pod and mounted on top of a Fender. they would need some major modification to mount to a headlight bar.

The BLC Headlights use a reflector and lens that is very similiar in designed to a sealed beam...

Just pop out the old reflector and lens and put a sealed beam in it's place. The Wiring and socket are the same as newer style sealed beams so no modifications are necessary to update a BLC headlight. They are popular with hotrodders because of this reason....

I need to get these BLC's ready for paint... So first things first, -Repair the dents/creases and dings with a little bit of picking, dinging and metal bumping...

The headlight rings are creased and I'll get to those in a bit but first I want to take out the dents in the tips of the teardrops..

Both headlamps have been dropped (on numorous occasions apparantly) as they both suffer from crushed nipples... It's hard to tell from this angle but this dent is about 3/4 inch deep. It's also in an area that's hard to get into....

Metal bumping is just as it sounds... Gently Bumping the metal back into place. -"Bumping" not Hammering.. The tools we'll start with are several nice sized ball bearings..
