LH (Love and Humour) Anon

Hi Skippy! Some utter rubbish and love here for you. No truth, only ramblings and laughs that hopefully provides some light entertainment for some. Thank you very much MM Anon for letting me interpret your riddles this way, it is much appreciated fun. LH Anon :)

…… PR gestapo returns … the converted are turning …… never a Dull atonement ……

MM has come up with the ultimate Perfect Recipe for her new cookbook - Gazpacho. She has the SS team hard at work renovating this classic, slaving away in the kitchen following the mantra of HRHDoS “Fix what isn’t broken because I know better”. They have run into a bit of a hiccup with a certain vegan fanbase however who are not happy with the inclusion of pureed roast chicken, deconstructed pub chips fried in goose fat and an egg. Taste tests thus far have been ranked -41/100. The SS guys and girls will not be put off and continue the quest for perfection, what Meghan and her wallet want, Meghan gets.

Sunshine Sachs will also organise the full media event to launch the recipe book. It will be an extravaganza! MM has the jewellery merching waves to nobody and hair brush back maneuverers ready. Instagramable models (but not prettier than MM in her opinion) will hand out samples in signature leg apart stance wearing sacks and glorious wigs that are so long they drag on the ground like a bridal train. Mio has been hard at work oiling the pumps to inflate both bosom and backside padding. Darren has prepared a speech, in Spanish, he will break the internet when singing his mothers praises at 5 months old. 1 person has RSVP’d. Doria has been paid to quote from afar that the only reason she could do a marathon was through solely eating Gazpacho since Darrens birth. Whew, MM sure is a hard working woke working mother, it is very hard to pay everyone to do this work.

“So quick bright things come to confusion”… 🎼 “A spoonful of sugar”🎼

Not just a cookbook, in case you’d forgotten, MM is to be a published children’s author - Yipee! The ideas continue to flow despite no interest thus far from publishers.

“My Sh!tload of Sugars” - a working title.

All media enquires via SS. Should mail be returned to sender please contact MA

Book Synopsis: A royally regal high horsing saga of how to recruit, brainwash and gaslight your way to popularity. This book is recommended for children under the age of 1 who just like hearing their parents voices, the easily led or those with Mensa level reading comprehension who may understand the point of the text.

The meetings in New York sadly have not come to fruition. According to a well placed source, Meghan turned up at one publishing house a day late for the appointment explaining that an important previous engagement (Soho House party two days prior) had prevented her turning up on time. Not knowing what to do, the staff left her alone in an interview room for 45 minutes where wild gesticulation could be seen and word salad heard for 25 minutes, before she declared that she needed to be fed and left the building.

…… a hostage to her fortune … the grey accountants …… “ death and taxes “

It’s been a big year for MM. So many projects, so much merching, so many renovations, so many jets, so many US staff. It is difficult to keep pace. The IRS in America are not helping matters. They keep sending pesky letters, addressed to MM, The Cupboard Under The Stairs In An Anonymous Apartment Somewhere That Is Not Frogmore Cottage. It is now getting to the ridiculous stage where, giving up on convention and the royal mail service, they are now sending owls with at least 2471 letters a day to attempt to retrieve what is due to them. Neighbours of the unmarked apartment are considering going to the press about the nuisance. In a placating measure, MM has promised that she will hire someone to clean the owl poo off their vehicles daily. In unrelated news, Mio has resigned his position as a royal reporter.

…… a Scottish invitation accepted …… “Back home old thing, shame!!!”…… old habits…… new evidence has leaked…… a basket full of eggs.

FINALLY!! It has taken a while but an invitation has been received by MM from Scotland. After some tricky PR work dealing with the fact that she hasn’t been invited to Scotland during the duration of her relationship with PH, royal mail has been received, wooooooohooooo! After seeing the postmark and offical letterhead, it was all bunions to the ground, MM is packed, preened and ready to call the paps. Unfortunately, missing the details as usual and forgetting to read the letter inside the envelope, MM is in for a sad surprise.

Dear MM,

You are cordially invited to Balmoral in Scotland by HMTQ. HMTQ, along with PP and all members of the British Royal Family will have departed the estate 9 days prior. You will be gifted the temporary loan of the local police station as a place of residence for the duration of your stay. The duration of the stay is to be determined by the willingness of yourself to cooperate. LG is most anxious to speak with you on a number of matters, coded in this letter via rhyming slang for national security measures. Don’t bother interpreting them Meghan, I have noted the ‘true’ meaning in brackets to save you time during this busy period in your life.

Kisses and Hugs (promise we love you…)

Bendy Flex (think he wants some yoga advice?)

Darrens Pot and Pan (proof reading Darren’s speech at your upcoming recipe book launch)

You will incinerate this letter on receipt.

With my most Soggiest Regards,

HTMTQ

Thank you so much! You are so gifted! Oh, Mr. Skippy and I are in hysterics when you send these in! We laugh so hard, our sides hurt! Thank you so very much, it’s greatly appreciated!🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sending this riddle interpretation with much Love and Humour to you dear Skippy, thank you MM Anon :). It’s all made up fun as usual! I don’t know how to insert images sorry but had a wee cry laugh over the batfish pictures on google, reminiscent of her dull eyed Royal Albert Hall appearance xx LH Anon

…… On the banks of Huntspill River …… a pretty Sum-erset …… O dear ‘ how not to be princely …… On joining the BRF, MM was very excited to get her mitts on all the royal moolah. She went to a bank near the Huntspill River and opened a joint cheque account for herself and MA in anticipation of a pretty sum. Fast forward a couple of years and MA is Not Happy. He tried to buy a new pair of formal party jandals (the last pair being worn out from standing on tiptoe in photos) and the card declined. Adding insult to injury, he was declined again at the shop for large incognito hats to wear at weddings and also the pet store where they sell Bogarts vegan dog food. Rumour has it, he is refusing to arrange any public support for MM via politicians, celebrities or Z listers until she is back in a position to finance his princely lifestyle.

🎼” everybody’s doing the loco- emotion”🎼……… In the real steps of his mother…… “Protocol, dignity and humour “…… Their successes drove her apoplectic …… Friday night fun in the Sussex household just doesn’t get any better. Last week they purchased a new Sing Star tape! Darren scored 10/10 in his Kylie Minogue rendition, MM is insisting Sunshine Sachs plant some stories about how he has his mothers natural theatrical ability. They have held her off for the moment claiming that the public might question how a 5 month old can have reached the developmental stage of reading a teleprompter and singing. PH also popped in, hoping to set some expectations for the Wellchild event that they had to attend together. As she didn’t care and wouldn’t listen to him, he gave up and had a merry time singing duos about MM with Darren.

“All by Myself” Eric Carmen 9/10

“Don’t You Lie to Me” Chuck Berry 9/10

“You’re So Vain” Carly Simon 11/10

LIZARDS 🦎 ……” please George ‘ don’t do that”🦎🦎🦎…… … Nanny doesn’t like🦎🦎🦎…… “I miss the children”…… Prince George is trying to convince his parents that he should be allowed a pet lizard, they have let him know that the topic can be discussed as a family when they get home from their tour.

Before this hits the tabloids, MM has been desperate to show that Archie Darren is, one up on the Cambridge kids again. There has been a succession of weird and wonderful creatures paraded in the last few weeks, unfortunately none have been suitable so far.

Aardvark - MIA, thought to be slowly tunnelling back to Africa, rather miffed why he wasn’t picked up at Heathrow security. No welfare concerns reported during flight, he appeared comfortably snuggled up on bottom padding and faux silk headscarves wrapped around real diamonds to form a pillow.

Pacu Fish - Banished, breach of copyright lawsuit is pending. Details show that the defendant Mr Fish has been posting selfies posing with an inane grin using the hashtag #ballcutters. According to friends of MM this is an exact copy of her own selfies and hashtag in 2011 when she got her veneers.

Venezuelan Poodle Moth - RIP, unexpectedly passed following an encounter with the Soho House Somerset porch light

Red Lipped Batfish - Banished, being held in custody on charges of pilfering MMs cosmetics

The next contingent of animals was due to arrive via Mios luggage on return from Pakistan but sadly he was not allowed to attend a real Royal Tour. Regardless, an embargoed press release has been issued stating that when a pet is decided on

• MM attended the pets birth and found it an empowering experience

• The pet is unnamed until such time that they have bonded as a family

• There will be a staged photocall where MM will present a plastic replica

• Stay tuned to Sussex Royal on instagram for blurry images of a feather / tail / snout / hoof cradled in a hand for maximum jewellery exposure #familylifeisthebest ©

ROYAL AIR FORCE ONE. …… MI6 and the visit??…… “ de visit was spectacular ‘ de-brief was better”. ……” Thanks M.” 14 aides have been fired this week, morale is at an all time low. It all started with confusion when the royal airforce was commissioned for laundering by MM. Aides thought this a strange request, but not the most outrageous to have received to date. In the background, MI6 were ready to pounce, finally able to secure hard evidence of the Sussex Scam Foundation finances. Staff at Soho House Paris were puzzled to receive, not suitcases of money, but suitcases of knickers. The appearance of such spectacular quantities of smalls was thought to have caused many titters amongst staff who sent a thank you note back to MM for brightening up another sordid day.

Thank you so much! So appreciate your wonderful sense of humour! What a gift you have! Thank you, as this was much neede! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

L and H Anon….

Hi Skippy! A riddle interpretation made with love, humour and plenty of make believe imaginings. Many thanks to you and MM Anon, this is such a fun place. LH Anon

🎼” I think I’m turning Japanese “🎼…… japmeg?……… MM attended university don’t you know. A graduation was never to be as she was too busy getting Daddy funded plastic surgery to attend classes. In case you are wondering, she studied Kabuki Theatre, the classical Japanese dance-drama art form. In the couple of classes actually attended, she was marked an A for the application of heavy stage makeup (it would have been an A+ but she was troweling on bronzer, not Oshiroi) and an F for the dance component, despite protestations that it was racist to say she danced like a white lady and against the human rights act to imply that the demonstrated flexibility was proof that no yogi is she.

Of late, our academically challenged highness has been brushing up on these skills. The theatre has reached dramatic new heights! Even the audience is starting to turn Japanese through simple observation of this immersive art! Most actors are proving worthy of an Oscar nomination or at minimum, an honorary title for services to Kabuki Heritage. MM wrote a calligraphy font email to the Screen Actors Guild beseeching them to recognise her talent. She is awaiting advice on how to spin the response.

TO: MM

CC: SS, MM business manager, MM lawyer, MM agent, MM goldfish, MA

BCC: LG, the entire BRF

SUBJECT: Re. I am the best, better than all the rest

Dear Ms Markle,

Thank you for your email. Yes, the 3 years since you hounded us daily have passed quickly. We are all well and trust that you are okay.

Regrettably, we are unable to lobby on your behalf for a lifetime achievement award in theatre based on your work to date. The real issue is a lack of natural or learned acting talent. Consideration was given to a lesser award but there is no category for best supporting porn pawn, minor role, but again we do not feel that this can be supported by our guild. You will however be delighted to hear that several members of, and aides to, the family that you never had are nominated in numerous categories of the upcoming awards.

Please do not contact us directly again (or use any of those aliases like last time).

SAGgiest regards,

All of us

Mike&Harry cheer a win. …… “ Mike gets on with everyone old thing”……… Mike Tindall and PH had a smashing time at the Rugby World Cup final. The two chums had man chats, chugged beer, chanted along and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. In a moment of less than sober solidarity, they got matching tattoos of M&H. When MM caught wind of this via one of her moles she welled up with emotional tears of joy and immediately issued an exclusive press release to all media outlets in the world “M&H 4EVA, homesick H is inked to show undying love for Princess Meghan”

“ bloody whingeing” …“ the balcony’s a problem Philip” …… “The sooner the better”……… “ Harry, we have a problem”!!…… “ A distraction would be useful”…… Construction has begun in a far flung Commonwealth outpost on a new TV set. Several hundred workers are employed on this short turnaround project and locals are abuzz to report that it appears the set is a replica of some kind of royal/military event. Filming is thought to be for one day only. Back in Blighty, PH is working through the details of Remembrance Day with a very excited MM. This year, after much moaning, the family are giving in to all of her requests. They have given her a new besparkled set to make some jewellery, are going to let her take a private jet directly to the event, have hired 107 photographers dedicated to her only, have 14 kids on standby to hug (1 able to cry on cue), and best, best, best of all, has been assured that no-one will appear on a balcony except for her!

“ Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness” In breaking news, Meghans Mirror is being sued for “unlawful misappropriation” by a well known shape-wear company (The Company) who claim that the online business “systematically uses the names and images of The Company in relation to MM to advertise and spark interest in its website and clothing.” The undergarment company in question continued “We are seeking damages. There has been irreversible damage to our brand through association with MM . As a business that prides itself in supporting an image of shapley, appropriately confident and smartly dressed women of all sizes, we are devastated by the implied association with this slovenly silhouette.”

…… no Wig-gle room. Prince Charles has rejected an application via the Duchy of Cornwall to fund a $2m specialist renovation for hairpieces, containing features such as humidity and scent control, a copper bath for colouring and house elf on part time hours responsible for combing. The anonymous application for an undisclosed location was received via a personal courier called Mio.

Oh, my sides! My sides! I can’t even type! I swear I will be sitting here laughing hysterically during the night with my family scurrying about asking if I have lost my mind! You are so gifted, thank you for once again bringing love and laughter! It is so appreciated! God Bless you!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dec. 1

Dear Skippy, an interpretation to be taken with a grain of salt but made with love and humour. Thanks to MM Anon and you Skippy for giving us riddle fun so often. It is all make believe with a dash of wistful thinking! LH Anon

……… the king in waiting ……… “Mmmmm , not many diversions left”……… LG continues his work with MM, coaching her in chess. Each week she tootles off to lessons delighted that someone associated with the royal family will spend time with her. LG is a very patient man.

“Meghan, you are meant to start the game with all pieces on the board. You must not remove all the pawns because you are ‘vegan’, remember pawns, not prawns”

“Meghan, please put the bishop back and try again, it moves diagonally and cannot jump over other pieces to be in two places at once.”

“Meghan for the last time, you cannot yell ‘check’ every time you make a move, I will not write you one”

They are yet to finish a game, MM may not be a chess master but she is a master of distraction. Most memorably,

The time she produced a doctors note claiming that there has been a mixup with the post operative drugs for bunion surgery and she was unable to play under the influence of cocaine.

The time she accidentally wore a 14 month moon bump and could not reach the pieces from either a sitting or standing position

The time she had glued her eyelids shut trying to apply fake lashes and couldn’t attend on account of restricted eyesight.

More recently, the time she abruptly ended the game, seeing the move coming, by chucking a glass of wine over LG and telling him to F*** O**

MM is sadly unaware that LG holds the highest title ‘Strategy Sans Pareil’ in the International chess community. He is also feeling quietly confident that before Christmas he will be able to phone his good chum PP about that bet they put on “You owe me a cheque, mate”

in need of some TLC. ……… financial scrutiny ……… financial mutiny !!! The Markle clan are looking for new income now that the whole world, ET on his bike in space, and the IRS have cottoned onto their pap calling, story selling bankroll. It was fun while it lasted but they all agree it is time to find a new laundromat to keep the greens in the bank. Via MMs US based team, a pitch was sent to TLC for a new family reality TV series the Markledashins. After a fortnight, and no response, pitches are now being sent daily

Survivor: Rosarito, Mexico

The Royal Apprentice

The Great Brotherly I’m Baked (Off)

Real Housewives of View Park-Windsor Hills

Extreme Makeover: The Lost Years Edition

………… “ Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining!!!!!!”………… MM is deep in the doo doo with PH. She left a bag in the overhead locker on the way back from Africa and Darren has not been seen since. Amid reports of a strange surge in popularity of the Google search phrase ‘realistic silicon child that eats, poops, drinks’, she rolled up to a polo game last week and cornered PH during a break, quite victorious. Crowds at the polo match reported overhearing strange snippets of conversation

“Here, I told you he was fine”

“No don’t touch him”

“No don’t touch me”

“Can you pay off my Visa”

“Where is your car, I need to *muffled* search it I mean *clearer* get sunscreen for his delicate skin”

“I didn’t make him pee down your neck, it’s raining”

“Of course he is real, didn’t he just pee on you?”

“Catherine ‘ it’s HM” ……… “ Catherine, I want your discretion”………… “ it would be my privilege ma’am”……… “ That’s a tough one, old thing” ……… “she can do it!! “…… PP fondly remembers one life changing event. He got chatting to this Japanese chap at a diplomatic reception. They were together for hours and at the banquet other guests noticed that they kept their heads down, forgot to turn, and appeared to be comparing notes or scibbles on little scraps of paper under the table. PP has forever remembered this event as the one that ‘taught him how to make the most mundane of duties bloody bearable’.

HMTQ has a special phone line connecting all royal residences, code name ‘Numbers’. It is only used when a particularly difficult and delicate situation arises. Security features include a 17 way tangled phone line with voice distortion technology. Today, for the first time, it was put into use.

Numbers transcript start

HMTQ: “Catherine, it is HM. PP is going ballistic, he can’t work out yesterdays Sudoku. We are approaching 34 hours straight dear. His royal stubbornness just won’t give up. I’ve finally convinced him to accept your help. I want your full discretion, no-one must know that it was not completed quickly and unaided. Difficulty level is High you see, he can’t help getting on in years. Difficulty level Impossible used to be a doodle. I’m going to send you a picture of where we are at on WhatsApp, can you take a lookskie?”

DOC: ‘It would be my privilege Ma’am’

Numbers transcript end

“makes you proud old thing, he looks the part” ……… “backseat ,a Philip?” ………… HMTQ and PP decided to take the roles of Joint Creative Directors for this years Christmas card. The royal corgis were fitted with costumes including a chauffeur, HMTQ and PP. The day was spent capturing the canines ‘driving’ around the woodlands of Sandringham choosing their Christmas tree. The Joint Creative Directors were reported to have been watching progress, looking as proud as punch.

“ dot The Is…………” Meanwhile, MM decided to take the role of Only, Best and Most Magnificent Creative Director for the Sussex Christmas card. It doesn’t feature Darren because she doesn’t know where he is. It doesn’t feature PH because she doesn’t know where he is. Not to worry said MM, there will be a glorious festive image of ME! Rejected expense reports for each of the $40,000 photoshopping sessions with MA are summarised below

58 mins retouching the dots of her eyes to appear less high

114 mins creating a halo

35 secs applying a Christmas themed filter

15 mins making the image B&W

234 mins resizing to an Instagram friendly format

35 mins putting X’s on her naughty bits so it is not really R18, just a tease.

Thank you dear sweet LH! This is wonderful! Mr. Skippy and I can’t quit laughing! Great job, once again! Love you!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The 19th Annual PPG Syracuse Nationals

There’s just something magical about the sound of a hopped-up V-8 to raise your adrenalin level. Couple this with the chance to hit the open road during the summer months and the combination is endless for the potential trips you could take. Regardless of whether it’s to a local cruise night, a highway run to simply knock off some miles, or planning a trip to a national event, one thing for sure is that seat time in your hot rod or custom makes the journey extra special. Pulling into town to check into a large event raises the cool factor to the highest level.

Wayne Earle | 1951 Chevy | Gasburg, VA There’s something cool about a lowered Chevy custom that commands your attention. Kentz Kustomz set the stance and added just the right amount of allure, including frenched headlights and a custom grille with power coming from a warmed-over 350ci Chevy mill. The PPG Sun Kiss coating and panel-painted roof completes the look.

This year’s PPG Syracuse Nationals celebrated its 19th anniversary as one of the largest rodding events on the East Coast. If you dig hot rods, customs, classic trucks, muscles cars, restos, and race cars the assemblage of horsepower on this three-day weekend festival was enough to leave you breathless. Visually you were greeted at every corner by a virtual kaleidoscope of candy-coated colors, giving you a perfect base to see just where the weekend would take you.

Randy Weaver | 1931 Ford | Sandy, UT Chopped, channeled, and laced with attitude, this Model A packed a healthy dose of venom thanks to the team at Weaver Customs. Sitting on a custom chassis complete with a Heidts IFS, it showcased a 401ci Ford V-8 with twin-turbos rolling on wheels from Detroit Steel. The subtle Axalta Sand Bronze vibe added a level of classic elegance.

After checking in to get your credentials, a cruise over to the pristine New York State Fairgrounds sets the stage for the event as it unfolds across well over 365 acres. The massive facility is like stepping back in time as you motor through countless tree-lined streets flanked by numerous classic buildings as well as horse and livestock barns. When the need to feed hits you have an endless stream of choices, thanks to old-time eateries across the grounds, offering plenty of choices to bring back memories from when you were a youngster. Once settled it’s easy to head out and weave through literally thousands of cars and trucks as well as check out all of the vendors showcasing the latest cool parts for your ride.

Rick Bolea | 1933 Ford | Moon Township, PA Rick’s coupe is pure hot rod. Completed by Precision Hot Rods & Fabrication, the body features a perfectly balanced chop accented by a custom hood top and sides along with immaculate PPG Red Mahogany gloss. Power comes from a dual-quad-fed 427ci Ford FE V-8 with Real Rodders wheels wrapped with BFGoodrich tires to plant the power.

There were numerous scheduled tech seminars from industry leaders, including PPG, Inland Empire, LEED Brakes, and Morrisville State College to guide you through a number of topics. New this year was a Pro Builders Panel presented by Ingersoll Rand, which was an open forum moderated by Jerry Dixey of STREET RODDER for participants to ask questions of builders Dave Tucci, Dom Tucci, Chris Ryan, Rob Ida, and Jeremy Baye, which was a great success. The Tucci Hot Rods Pro Pick area was once again packed with participants as live bands performed on numerous stages throughout the fairgrounds, all wrapped up by nightly fireworks displays.

Tom Cochran | 1955 Chevy | Wilmington, DE The designers at Chevrolet hit a home run with the Nomad. Bringing it to the next level starts with a bitchin stance from a custom IFS and rear suspension linked to Nitto tires on big-inch Ridler wheels powered by an LT1 V-8. A custom interior by Lucky 7 was accented by a flawless body wearing BASF Lamborghini orange and white pearl.

But wait there’s more, as the Old-Skool Roundup located in a separate open-air pavilion is a show-within-a-show featuring a wicked grouping of traditional hot rods and customs accented by a vintage swap meet and razor-sharp Rockabilly bands. Race car fans could check out Gasoline Alley where classic array of Funny Cars, Gassers, Bonneville racers, and more celebrated history. Competition this year for the Winfield Award among the Select Six presented by custom car legend Gene Winfield was exhilarating, with the win going to Chris Ryan or Ryan’s Rod & Kustom for his decadent 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II known as “The Scarlet Lady.” Artie’s Party Pinstriping and Panel Jam to benefit The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central New York has become legendary with custom designed artwork auctioned throughout the weekend.

Preston Carden Jr. | 1956 Chevy | Newcastle, DE Gassers are the ultimate statement, especially when they’re set up like Carden’s. A Speedway Motors suspension gave it the right-on stance with a Borla Induction stack-injected 421ci mill linked to a TREMEC five-speed adding go. Halibrand wheels and Firestone rubber are cool while a PPG shine and a classic bench interior finishes it.

Once Sunday arrived it was time for the Syracuse Nationals giveaway program showcasing the Garage Gear Giveaway to one lucky participant. By the time the weekend came to a close over 8,200 cars had motored across the pavement along with 95,000 visitors. With the support of the Central New York Car Club Association (the hosts of the show) and area service clubs, donations were made from proceeds of the event in the amount of $20,000 plus $68,000 from the Panel Jam auctions to a number of local charities plus additional donations, bringing the yearly total to $95,000. This brought the 19-year donation total to $1.4 million. As this event continues to grow with each passing year we can’t wait to check it out again in 2019 for the 20th anniversary. You can see more at rightcoastcars.com.

Dave & Sue Ciappa | 1955 Chevy | Lockport, NY If you want to haul with style look no further. A subtle chop is accented by a lustrous coating of Axalta platinum and pearl white combined with RideTech ’bags and Schott wheels on Michelin rubber. A Chevy 406ci V-8 brings power and Wilwood brakes add stopping power. Inside Vintage Air and Classic Instruments track the cooling and vitals.

Lisa Wilsey | 1933 Ford | Whitesboro, NY Roadsters in the summertime personify hot rodding. Tucci Hot Rods nailed it with this drop-top packing a hopped-up small-block linked to a 700-R4 trans to spin 17- and 20-inch Dodge Nitro rims topped with Coker tires. PPG Deep Sea Metallic brings it to life, accented by tan vinyl and custom interior panels by Dom Tucci Design.

Gary Corkell | 1932 Ford | Middletown, DE Built in 10 weeks by One-Off Rod & Custom, this Deuce started with a body and chassis combination from Adams Hot Rod Shop. It was treated to a searing 357ci V-8 topped with a sextet Speedway Motors 9Super7 carbs linked to a TH350 trans. Coated in custom PPG Blue Sugar it rolls on Wheel Vintiques wheels and Coker/Firestone rubber.

Gef Freese | 1954 Ford | Pittsfield, NH To set a wicked stance, Traditional Speed and Custom incorporated an Art Morrison chassis with IFS and a Winters quick-change out back. Power comes from a Roush 427ci IR crate engine topped with stack injection linked to a TREMEC T56 trans. Coated in Nason red it rolls on Vintage wheels and features a Petter Davidsen full leather interior.

Derrick & Katie Pesko | 1927 Ford | Waterford, CT Injecting a neat ’60s vibe this T sets the pace with a refreshing PPG white body accented with ice blue lines. Built by Allstar Hot Rods it features their signature chassis with a Speedway Motors 5-inch dropped front axle and GM 10-bolt rear. A 350ci V-8 adds power and inside shortened 1952 Olds dash, bomber seats, and fur carpet look awesome.

Best Ford in a Ford Bob Casey’s 1954 Ford Sunliner

While honoring the 19th Syracuse Nationals it was a perfect time for STREET RODDER and Ford Performance to recognize street rodders who install a late-model Ford engine in a Ford hot rod or custom. While canvassing the massive confines of the New York State Fairgrounds we found Bob Casey’s immaculate 1954 Ford Sunliner featuring a Ford Performance 351ci Windsor crate V-8, which caught our immediate attention.

It’s easy to see that Bob was destined to follow an automotive path since his influences were sparked when he first saw the family’s new 1949 Mercury parked in the garage. The car was bigger than life and although he needed a stepstool to see into the engine bay his fascination with its mechanical components fueled a passion. Following the path it wasn’t long till he graduated to customizing kit models at the kitchen table fueled by the latest issues of Hot Rod magazine and regular visits to local car dealerships to check out the newest models in person. Without a doubt the latest offerings from Ford and Mercury stood tall over all other manufacturers in his eyes.

Studying the latest creations by George Barris and watching 77 Sunset Strip to see the Kookie Car cruise the strip translated perfectly when he was able to help his cousin Jake nose and deck his 1947 Ford business coupe one summer. He eventually earned his driver’s license and the keys to a 1959 Ford Galaxie convertible with many more cool rides to follow, including a number of Ford hot rods and customs. Never forgetting his passion for ’50s-era Ford convertibles he eventually started searching for a suitable base to start with for his latest build. His quest led him to a 1954 Ford Sunliner in Illinois, which presented itself in pictures to be a nice solid driver. A deal was made and Bob had the car shipped to Ray Bartlett, co-owner of The East Coast Hot Rod Garage in Denton, Maryland, for evaluation. Since the car was going to be a full build, the team began disassembly, which led to the truth that the car had see far better days as it was riddled with hidden prior accident damage and an ample amount of rust. A plan was made to overcome the issues and start the build of a classic mild custom.

For a rock-solid base a call was made to Art Morrison for one of their Max G chassis featuring a mandrel-formed 2×4-inch fixture-welded frame. Out back a Ford 9-inch rear was packed with 3.50:1 gears spinning by Strange Engineering axles and suspended in place by a triangulated four-bar along with a matching antiroll bar and RideTech coilover shocks. Up front an exclusive Art Morrison IFS featuring their tubular steel control arms with matching spindles and antiroll bar combined with RideTech coilover shocks links to power rack-and-pinion steering. To add plenty of stopping power a Wilwood dual master pushes fluid through stainless lines to matching 12-inch drilled and vented discs and calipers anchored at each corner. Linking it all to the street are a set of classic 15-inch chrome reverse from Wheel Vintiques capped with wide whites from Diamond Back.

Wanting to maintain tradition and keep Ford power in his Sunliner, Bob went to Ford Performance Parts and selected their 351ci Windsor crate V-8 packed with 385 hp. The engine features a nodular iron crank linked to Ford rods wearing forged aluminum pistons urged by a factory cam. Up top plenty of seamless power comes from a pair of GT-40 aluminum cylinder heads perfectly matched to an Edelbrock intake capped with a matching 650-cfm carb wearing a 14-inch chrome air cleaner. An MSD ignition lights the fire with spent gases dumping though Sanderson headers to a custom 2-1/2-inch stainless exhaust with Flowmaster Series 50 mufflers. Neat details include a Billet Specialties Tru-Trac drive system along with Ford Racing valve covers. Custom touches to give the engine bay plenty of allure include a hand-fabricated firewall, radiator support, inner fenders panels, and radiator cover by team member Dale Rhodes. A Ford 4R70W trans massaged by Performance Automatics of Frederick, Maryland, moves the power to a custom steel driveshaft.

Bringing the weathered steel back to life wasn’t a task for the faint of heart. To start custom floors and body mounts were fabricated to meet the new chassis. The team followed with fabricating custom rear quarter-panels, eliminating the side skirts and raising the wheel openings by 2 inches while also creating a body side bead to match the front fenders. Other custom work included shaving the hood and decklid, frenching the headlights and taillights, shaving the bumpers, creating a custom roll pan, and adding a 1957 Thunderbird scoop to the hood. Team member Jason Lester then metal finished the body, set all the gaps, and prepared it for paint. To add the vibe he laid down a lustrous coating of custom-blended PPG Applegate Blue, bringing it all to life.

To add an equal amount of allure inside, the stock dash was treated to an engine-turned insert and filled with dials from Classic Instruments to monitor the vitals along with the restored factory speedometer. A 16-inch Ford Crestliner steering wheel plots the course while shifts move through a cool custom shifter fashioned from a cowl vent handle. Cool breezes are by Vintage Air with tunes from Sony and Pioneer, while a wiring kit from American Auto Wire was installed by shop co-owner Dean Alexander. To add plenty of luxury, Alexander then followed by covering a Glide Engineering bench and rear seat with yards of soft tan leather along with all side panels accented by complementing brown wool square-weave carpeting. He completed the car with a handmade tan Haartz convertible top. Congratulations to Bob who will receive a limited-edition jacket as the award winner.
