A custom grille was crafted from two 1934 Pontiac radiator shells, topped by a winged-skull ornament made by Isky himself. Renowned metal man Jimmy Summers finessed the bodywork. While not a purpose-built lakes runner, in 1942 the Isky T roadster topped 120mph at El Mirage.Īfter his discharge from the Army – he served as a bomber tail-gunner in the Pacific theater – Isky returned home and finished up the roadster. Sixteen-inch Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels shod with wide-whites rounded out the setup. Houdaille shocks dampened all four corners. The rear spring was mounted ahead of a Ford banjo axle to stretch the wheelbase. The front brakes are Plymouth hydraulics. Up front, a ’32 Ford front axle moved on ’37 wishbones hung from a front-mounted spring. Isky applied his uncommon vision to the drivetrain and chassis, as well. For a finishing touch, Isky had special valve covers cast and engraved with “Iskenderian.” Unique, to say the least. The design featured overhead exhaust valves that were jacketed by engine coolant – hence cooler operating temps – but the intake valves remained in the block. Designed in the 1930s for commercial truck engines, Maxi heads functioned as a semi-overhead-valve conversion. Power was transferred via a ’39 Ford Top Loader with Zephyr innards.īut the most significant addition – and the car’s signature modification – was its Maxi “F” cylinder heads. When he finally installed the engine, it was far from a stock – 13:1 compression, a Vertex magneto, Winfield camshaft (Ed had yet to create his own), Edelbrock intake, and a triumvirate of Stromberg 97s. Before installing the Flathead, he cleverly adapted Essex frame rails under the T. That’s not a typo – four dollars.īeing enthralled by the emergence of V8 power, Isky soon yanked a ’32 Ford 21-stud V8 from the salvage yard. The project began as an unfinished four-banger-powered T that he purchased from pal John Athan in 1938 for the head-slapping price of $4. So, it seemed appropriate to feature another Isky contribution to hot rod lore, his iconic 1924 Isky T roadster.ĭubbed La Cucaracha by a Mexican sheriff, the black turtle-decked roadster was pulled together by Isky in 1940. Today, Isky is 99 years old, with the century mark coming up fast. I'll manually re-enter those.Īnd I believe that the Vintage Masters Mana Crypt needs a database fix in DeckBox, so I'll just make a note to myself for now.A while back the Gazette featured camshaft guru Ed Iskenderian as a Legend of Hot Rodding. Guildgates weren't fixable because Decked Builder doesn't use collector number in the CSV file so there was no way to disambiguate them, except in the name (which Decked BUilder did with the (a) and (b)). I just copied the DeckBot CSV names over to my import CSV. were using the right ASCII characters for TM, (R) and &. ![]() ![]() Sword of Dungeons & Dragons and Ultimate Nightmare. Unglued/Unhinged errors were in the placement of the " marks. #DECKED BUILDER CARD CAM UPDATE#I'll update this post when I get it finished. My plan is to create a temporary inventory of all these unmatched cards, export them to CSV, look at what makes them different from my current CSV file, make the edits and re-import the file. ![]() Mana Crypt Vintage Masters <- DeckBox database doesn't offer this one, but the card does exist: eid=383005 The Ultimate Nightmare of Wizards of the Coast(R) Customer Service Unglued Decked Builder has "Boros Guildgate (a)" and "Boros Guildgate (b)", and so forth for Izzet, Dimir and Golgari guildgates.
