"El Lay Mae" "Moldy Marvin's" T&A This old girl has some history and a story to tell.. Currently Registered in the State of California (on a non op) | |
| Back in 2001 I found El Lay Mae at the L.A. Roadster Show, She was sitting all by herself in a corner at the swap meet.
I got her from dry lakes king Joe Moreno
| |
Here is a snap of her once I got her home.r once I got her home. | |
This is what she looked like after I had taken off all of the stickers and cleaned her up real good. |
| That there is the infamous John Parker cuttin' it up with the camera... The guy in the hat is the well known auto artist Kent Bash who included El Lay Mae and I in one of his paintings. This painting has been published in several magazine articles about Kent. |
John, Richard, & George usin' the El Lay Mae's trunk fer a dinner table. Bob's Big Boy 2001 So What the heck is she anyway ? Well she's got 1928 Rails, Truck Bed and 4 banger Mill... The Fiberglas 23 T bucket was put on her sometime in the early 60's cuz it's all hand laid ... the side pipes are active and serve two purposes (1) to make a bunch of noise and (2) to serve as nerf bars and extra support for that old t bucket...... The Brakes are Mechanical and she tops out between 45 and 50 MPH... | |
| In 2002 she won her first award at the Jewel City Kiwanis Car Show The Award is for First Place Special Interest. All Awards go with the Sale of El Lay Mae |
2002 was also the first year that I started Racing El Lay Mae in the Antique Nationals . | |
Me and a Buddy of Mine Flintstone had a running bet of $ 1.00 every year when we raced side by side. His car was very much like El Lay Mae and he called his car Ebay Elly | Photo by Jack Butler 2003 Antique Nationals |
Flintstone Beat me every year that is until 2004.
| |
All Awards go with the Sale of El Lay Mae | 2004 EL Lay Mae and I in the winners circle Antique Nationals.
She was the slowest Car on the track at 25.5 seconds. In our last eliminations we went up against a beautiful 14 second board track racer worth about $ 40,000.0, El Lay Mae was so consistent that day and we took Jim Macnair Award 1st Place in the 4 Banger Class!
I Love Bracket Racing! |
El Lay Mae Loves to go to El Mirage | El Lay Mae, myself and Joaquin Arnett of the Bean Bandits |
In the summer of 2004 we shot this Desert Drag Race Segment. You can watch the segment about 5 minutes into the movie. EL Lay Mae and Flintston's Ebay Elly.
El Lay Mae played the part of "Old Timer" (Voice by Alex Xydias) which was the first car in the movie to be interviewed. | The Movie Tales of the Ratfink took 6 years to produce, I worked on the film as a consultant to Ron Mann.

El Lay Mae Today | |
| Back in 2007 I swapped out El Lay Mae's mill with a 1930 4 banger because her original mill main seal went along with the babbit. | |
| The 1930 Mill still runs but it too now needs Babbit too so I haven't driven her for awhile now. | |
EL Lay Mae's Original Mill Comes with the Sale | |
I recently acquired this 1929 Mill with a B performance police head. This Mill comes with the Sale also. |
I started Cleaning it up because it is in pretty good condition. |
The Babbit is in great shape. | The concept was to take apart this most recent Mill tear it down and rebuild El Lay Mae's original Mill with the parts. |
| Other Fotos of El Lay Mae | |
| Even though El Lay Mae might need a little TLC today, she has been very good to me for many years now. She is a keeper for sure and as much as I would like to hang on to her I really need to sell her cuz I need the $$$! I'm really hoping that her new owner will feel the same way and treat her good for many more years of enjoyment!

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
