Hot Rods What did your current Hot Rod look like when you started?

I replaced the photobucket images in my post - hopefully now the post has been resurrected others will do the same.

How about a then and now thread?

I found these photos of my 1932 sedan from years ago and it really hasn't changed too much,at least body wise. HRP









This is what it looks like today. HRP

 

I think we've played this game before?

 

started with 200 Benjamin's...and 1500 Benjamin's later...never gonna do that again

 

Danny I finally found a photo of the coupe the first time I bought it. This is all I could find. The photo got cut off somehow. Circa 1973-4

 

still an empty shell, powertrain installed, waiting on framerail re-do and cage before any more action..

As pulled from barn after sitting 25 yrs.





some tractor paint for winter protection

 

This is what I started with. For some reason it doesn't look as good in bare metal......

 

Started with this 6-1/2 years ago....

Holy shit, Nick!

In the beginning
Now on the road

1963, 1978 and now.

 

All stock as found, then 8 years later they way it is now.

 

Dang you...I spent all morning looking at old pictures because of this thread. But I found one I was looking for. Which makes it all worthwhile.

 

Your welcome Jim! HRP

 

Here we go,

 

Here are two more pics, of my first hot rod. BW pic is not long after we got it, and pulled out the 235 to overhaul it. Second pic is a year later. We didn't take enough pictures back then, film was expensive or something?

 

here we go
my 56 2001 and 2013

 

Jim,you are correct,film was expensive and then we had to have it developed and the photo's didn't always come out,,,not instant gratification like now. HRP
