"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.
The Film can now be viewed on Hulu Just click the Hulu button below and enjoy the show!

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!

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
