My mom and a friend of hers came to Kansas for fall break. Sue (my mom’s pal) wanted to take images. I did the greatest I could. This was the second quit of the morning. Up early to get this light from the east for the mill. It was worth the 1.five hour drive early in the AM.

I was just here a week before taking this and the trees were just beginning to turn. A week later and I was rewarded with this!

The Original Black Widow restored by Richard Riddell
Constructed in 1952

“THE BLACK WIDOW” Builders: Wally Olson (1952), Bill Scott (1954) and Richard Riddell (2005) The garage uncover of the century! How lengthy have you been hot rodding vehicles–given that the 1950’s? Several of us got began in the 50’s and 60’s. (For you true old birds out there that don’t forget hot rodding “T” roadsters with Roto-Faze ignitions, Ruxtell 2-speed rear axles, Riley 2-port heads and Laurel lowering kits, nicely what can we say you’re a generation ahead of us and we take our hats off to you ‘original’ hot rodders.) BUT for all of us “The Black Widow” is a serious piece of 1950’s hot rodding annals and a benchmark for the industry! In an article in Hot Rod Deluxe, July 2008 entitled, “Tangled Web” the complete-story of Richard Riddell’s quest to restore the original Black Widow had its public debut. Hot Rod Deluxe reported the car’s winning the 2008 Grand National Roadster Show which was a dream come true, taking “Best Early Altered T Roadster”. (See also Rod and Custom, June 2008.) It was also a contender for the Bruce Meyer award at the ‘Grand Nats.’ Why do guys like Richard Riddell (and the rest of us) commit years (3400 hours in Richard’s case) restoring a car we located in a barn? Answer: ‘For the enjoy of the sport!’ All of us don’t forget some other vehicles with equivalent names, for instance the ‘Black Widow’ Monogram model automobile (“1/24 scale model/Ford ‘T’ Pickup Rod/removable top” by Mattel top quality hobby kits). Also, we remember General Motors/Chevrolet coming out in 1957 with their initial racing version Chevy known as “The Black Widow.” But predating each of these historic cars is the “The Black Widow” constructed by Wally Olson to help maintain his kids out of problems in 1952 and first débuted in Hot Rod magazine, September 1954 in an article entitled, “Lil’ Beau T”, which read, “Wally Olson, Fresno, California, automotive machinist, is the fortunate owner and builder. Duane Taylor was named in for the physique function.” It added as to why he built the car, “What with so much current upheaval in the teen-age ranks, Wally figured that a positive-fire way to eradicate those totally free-time, nothing-to-do troubles would be to interest them (his 9 and 12 year old sons) in a rod. So far the idea has worked like a charm.” In time the household moved on to other projects and Bill Scott purchased the car and redid it with fenders, headlights and all the stuff to make it ‘street legal’—as we utilised to contact it! The 1st documentation of the auto being known as “Black Widow” is discovered in the magazine Rodding and Re-styling, August 1957 issue. That post reported Bill Scott’s modifications to Wally Olson’s car, “The front finish was revised to incorporate a tubular axle and tube shocks. The new owners also equipped the car with a new power plant. The original mill is a ’41 Merc bored out .100 inch over stock, ported and relieved…includes eight.5-to-1 Offenhauser heads, a Weber complete-race cam, and an Evans 3-caberator manifold.” [Note: The numerous engines that have been housed in this car later varied see final Merc build particulars beneath.] Don’t you really like the sound of that “ported and relieved” and “full-race cam”—when’s the final time you used those terms? By the time the 1959 Hot Rod Annual was published the automobile-title stuck for all time “The Black Widow.” Riddell’s two-Year Renovation! According to long time race auto builder Richard Riddell’s log he states, “Sometime in 1955 Wally sold his roadster to Bill Scott. Bill again named on Duane Taylor to turn the auto into a bonified street rod. With the additional of windshield, head lights, tail lings, and fenders it was lastly in a position to jump into his little Hot Rod and go crusin’. The pin stripping was done by none other than Dean Jefferies with the familiar cobweb and spider on the turtle deck.” He reports that the car’s 1st win was “…a 5 foot trophy at the Sacramento AutoRama in 1957 for ‘Best Roadster’. Yes, Bill’s automobile was possessing the time of its life getting 1 of the very best seeking early California street roadsters of all time.” Richard states, “Bill Scott died about 1987…for several years the vehicle languished…getting worse and worse…as is so often the case for old Hot Rods.” The garage discover in 2005 notes, “At a glance the roadster didn’t appear that negative.” But the Naugahyde and carpet were shot, fenders, original wheels and hub caps to name a couple of difficulties for the yet to begin restoration. Riddell notes, “Under a somewhat decent physique and paint job lurked a mess that went beyond your worst nightmare.” He adds, “I started questioning how I could salvage this little beauty in the rough. Not that numerous men and women have restored an old Hot Rod but, those who have know what I’m speaking about. It’s significantly tougher than building a rod from scratch. But the roadster was begging to be restored and I’m glad that I was chosen to do it.”and#9472Richard died shortly right after finishing the project but happily he was able to see “The Black Widow” win the ‘Grand Nats’ and have a feature center-spread post in Hot Rod Deluxe. Here are a couple of of the Riddell-engineered refinements to this original automobile. and#61692 Recessed pockets had to be constructed in the frame rails to accept the front motor mounts which double as water pumps. and#61692 New front radius rods had been constructed out of heavy wall chrome-moly tubing.
