Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

Dude, I'm down! I think we could make that happen for sure. We might have to do that. Can you imagine if we got Roy "Multi" Aldrich's T and Isky's car there too?

 

I know you been to the Salt so I'm all for anything you and any of the like minded Pre-War era Hop-Up crowd could organize...yeah that would be epic...

On a beach in Wales would be even better.... Can but dream!

 

...Hamber @ct1932ford captured this at a show his way recently...reminds me of the Roaring Roadsters...

​

 

...not this Hotrods first appearance here but this is a pretty good angle on this work of art...

...Hamber @ZELTANGO has resurrected his old build from many moons ago through a re-acquisition so it's coming together...he has also been featured here through a Thread by Ryan on AI in the Vintage Hotrod/Custom Culture...pretty eye opening really...

I tried once, til I paused the project some ten years ago, to build something out of nothing (started as a really fucked up 29 Briggs fourdoor).
.

 

...so you should, that's neato Don...kinda like a real hard soft top...

Nice metal working love the way that bead flows...

 

What’s a metal?

 

Metal working is the fabrication work done to the side window areas to make a sedan into a Phaeton type Hybrid.

Metal being steel as opposed to fiberglass...

 

...Here's a pretty unique Hotrod...A 4 seater Roadster...Lots of Custom fab. It reminds me a little of the Roadster @Austinrod has with the bump out the back...

I like this one from the front more than the back. I have one of those Oliver shells. Probably the best looking of the tractor pieces if that is even possible. I have a late 30s Mopar insert the could be cut to fit and it would look very Milleresque.

 

@alanp561 is using one on his Hotrod too...He has a Thread on it...I agree they have found there way onto a number of Hotrods over the years prior to 65 for sure...

...These ole Caddy Flatheads are damn near as cool as Ardun engines...

Might as well toss an old winterfront on just to round it out...

Update...due to the ever keen eyes of our membership...I will just mention this is a hand fabbed in a style of Winterfront Grill...This is not an uncommon thing to do in light of how rare and expensive they are...

Thanks Mick and JHansen...

I am pretty old - but what the hell a winterfront??? & I like the big old caddies; just need a few more main bearings & breathing help

 

Pines Winterfront Grille...the blades rotate to help the rad warm better or perhaps prevent freezing...pretty pricy on the deuce because they're rare and look pretty upscale...the company made them for many vehicle's...Mike see the link below there's a brochure and a Thread on one...

... @flatheadtommy shared this...don't often see the tear drops this way but here 2 in the same day...almost cookie cutter...

​

 

I don't believe that's an original Pines winterfront.
