Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

It even looks better than the one we found.

 

Excellent photos, Jersey Joe...thanks for posting...

 

From NZ, I have posted it before but fits with whats above. JW

 

This willys coupe was found in a Canadian Forest years ago. It has been built into a gasser and is running with The Geezer Gassers Very cool picture, this is what a lot of us dream of finding.

 

Very familiar with that group. Which one is it.

 

I believe it is Chuck Lipka.

 

went to look at a CL listed old Dodge and found my old Stude....still sitting and waiting on a SBC on the third owner....the - first guy I bought it from pulled the 6 cylinder and stalled - I bought it and put a good old Studie V/8 back in it and sold it running and driving to....owner #2 who pulled the Studie out and stalled on it and sold it to ....the 3rd owner has it in his shop to someday hopefull put a SBC it....the ramp pick is at my shop getting the pipes put on it...and the big guys the latest owner.....and still sitting....

 

A few from today

 

...and a few more

 

I don't know if that Crown Vicky would be worth the trouble, but that 51 Ford looks like it be a good candidate to put back on the road again. Looks like surface rust is a pretty bad problem around Savannah. My son went to college there and told me how humid it is all the time.

 

This car deserves to be saved even if it is ruff and rusty around the bottom if it was in the USA some one would transplant it onto a 37-38 willys sedan floorpan and firewall like Kiwi Kev did with his coupe and use the extra sedan sheetmetal for patch panels to fix the lower rusty sheetmetal. Or you could make or buy patch panels to fix the lower body.

 

^^I believe its being saved, the car was a successful NZ track car in the 60's. JW

 

That 55 Crown is nauseating...maybe because i'm a bodyman and can easily see the finished result if I would have it!

 

As a photographer I have come across things over the years. These are just a few from my personal site.

 

I wish I had it, because in addition to being a bodyman, I have all the missing stainless for it too.

 

I can get this one for probably nothing. I buddy of mines friend has it setting in his pasture. I haven't seen it yet it's like 60 miles from here. It appears to be a 36' Hudson? The oval hole cut out of the center of the dash for the speedo and the way the rear is styled, trunk lid and fenders, spare tire holder .

 

Cool, I like the factory suicide doors...might be good fodder for a gasser. JohnnyA

 

I know nothing! Found it while looking at facebook posts.

 

Holy crap...that's a really altered wheel base! I'm not sure I've seen the back wheels moved up so far before.

 

No need for wheelie bars on that '55, the quarter panels will do just fine!

 

This one rides with us now!

 

A lot of good stuff on that 35 Plymouth. JW

 

Dunno? told it was a Corvair...

 

owned this one till the hurricane.....

 

Yup- that dash and the gas filler on the front fender are a couple giveaways

 

What is this?
