Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

That looks like a Toyota baby hemi used in limousines.

 

Looks to have an early IFS stock frame from a different donor car

 

Owner said 48 Hillman Minx

 

Owner says its a Red Ram

 

I don't think it's a 48 Hillman Minx, I'm pretty sure it's older than that, and that's not a Red Ram Hemi, it's a British Hemi.

 

Looks like a Dodge 315 Hemi

This is a -48.

 

J ANSEN, I guess it is a 48. Sure looks different with everything removed. That Hemi sure looks small in the picture. I stand corrected.

 

Back in the early 1960's Joe Allevo ran a Pontiac powered 1948 Hillman convertible at Connecticut Drag-way.
Sometimes when he accelerated from the starting line Joe had tremendous front tire shake. The last that I knew, the Hillman was in New Hampshire being re-stored as a race car.

 

Great stuff hoodlums...my apologies for my absence...

Good eye Chester...maybe Jeep...Despite modern frameswaps being taboo around here it was certainly done back then as part of the big picture and for similar reasons many times...that'd make it an oddball at that, just part of the incredibly diverse things going on in Hotrod. I wonder if the Rodder put a Turtledeck on the round out the package?

The late Charles Peter Puhr Jr. sure looks to have had some Hokey Ass back in the day...man, talk about lightening up the Ole Jalopy to get there quicker...it's certainly understandable so many of those who have have had such experiences have left for the big sky...may he rest in peace...

The cast 2x4 manifold would visibly immediately discount it being a Daimler 'hemi' as no such manifold has ever existed for either version of the Daimler V8.

The Hotrod you shared reminds me of this Blast from the past...The Westergard Roadster captured by the late Hamber Sylvian...I seen a number of Hotrods sporting later model windshields and their metallic surrounds...unique for sure and many times quite fitting...

​

 

That windshield looks VW to me. Metal surround it is the really strange/different part

 

The belt line on the cowl was removed too it seems...like so many projects it looks to have never been finalized...the running boards are absent which may have been a part of the plan...

Being VW was around since 1937 or so and they were so narrow that certainly makes your observation a distinct possibility and a really strange choice for this hybrid of sorts...

I did a search of several periods of the VW and I believe it not to be the donor...so many choices out there with offshore brands certainly an option as they were here as well...

I believe this is Hamber @ratrodrodders handiwork that had me thinking it was the real deal for a moment but man this would be one awesome standalone Hotrod...

Obviously the headers weren't uncorked much. Nice Custom Rod. Deep channel so they needed all the top they had.
