Hot Rods FINALLY GOT RUNNING AFTER 50+

Been a long time not enjoying the sport that I enjoyed so much and has grown so popular. Everywhere you look there are Amazing Quality and Quantity of Hot Rods...I got the Feeling again and I Guess It will never go away this Time...FRANK

 

Must be awfully loud.

 

Looks like it ought to haul ass in one trip...

 

Welcome to the HAMB, and welcome back to the club!

Nice coupe!!!

 

Very nice hot rod would be nice to see it on the road. Where are you located?

 

We need the back story!

 

no jimmy, quiet mufflers pipes you can't see out of back out of collectors. still good flow for street use and thanks for the ?, Frank

 

Frank I remember you, maybe from LISRA surely from East Coast Rod Runs. I was in Vintage Tin of LI.
Is that your original car? I had a yellow 40 Willys coupe then a maroon 36 Willys 4dr sed. during my time with the club. Welcome to HAMB.

Here's a name(hope I'm thinking about the correct guy) I haven't read about in a very long time. Glad you're back. Always liked the 3w, esp the interior. Sadly read about its' demise decades ago, & some kind help you received from the rodders. Never found out what happened to you after the incident, much less what you replaced the 3w with. Did you rebuild it, is that the current pic? For some reason I'm thinking that pic is the orig version. ??? Might you have any more pics of orig & current, if it's around? To me, that was a timeless hotrod. .

So..... there is a 50 year story here...... lets here it!

 

Sonofabitch that’s killer!

 

Neat rod. Welcome to the HAMB from Illinois.

 

Killer Koupe, Frank! But............you know how we Love pictures and good stories!! Welcome, back.

 

Nice ride. Am I seeing a 350-455 Olds there?

 

1st thing I spotted was the dual quad Olds, then those cool tires!

 

Hello,

Nice coupe...But, a small thing had to go, to be a better looking hot rod. IOHO... And, not a street rod from the 70s-80s. Also, perhaps a smaller front tire would be a nicer proportioned coupe stance.

At least you have it to enjoy driving it around... Maybe ask our resident expert @themoose to do the smaller tires in front and smoother flowing headers that run lower under the edge and not in the burn area. YRMV

 

That is a gorgeous time capsule and I love the wheels and tires, era perfect! Can’t wait for the story behind the car

Very cool old coupe!

 

Cool hot rod. Looks like a change of tires and it'll fit right in here.

 

Frank, I'm the guy that started the thread years ago looking for information about your coupe. Welcome back!!

 

Sweet Rod Frank, love it just the way it is!!!

 

Way cool Hot Rod! We need to know the story of what happened during the last 50 years though!

 

I haven’t seen those Parnelli Jones tires in 40 years! Love it! That’s the style hot rod I remember from my youth. My kind of traditional!

 

C'mon, Frank...spill the beans!! We need to hear this story!!!

Wicked Coupe! Love it just the way it is!!

 

A loud hotrod? Who'da thunk?

I thought the car was destroyed after it burned?

 

Welcome Frank. Looking forward to hearing more of your story and seeing more of your coupe.

 

ANTICIPATING A GREAT BACK STORY!!!!!!!!

 

Sweeet ride.....wouldn't change a thing BUT.......
With the tire set-up you have 'I think' it needs a taller and wider rear tire.
I sure would like a ride in ti !!

I’m not familiar with what’s going on here but it looks like dude appears from hibernation, only to have his ride judged and get pressured to share some personal details.
