dare to be different pic thread

Any more pics or info on this thing? It makes me wanna do bad things to good people!

 

Here, I had another picture of that on my hard drive...

 

This Buick reminds me of Chucky Chevy, what do you think?

Nice plan. Getting the fenders to flow into the rest of the truck might make 'ya crazy though...

 

1936 Simca/Fiat Sedan Delivery. My attempt at being a little out of the ordinary

 

Fiat Gasser, That is looking great. I can`t wait to see it when finished .Surely no one will say I`ve seen one of those.

 

Thanks Hoop,
I know of one other steel car in the U.S. and three fiberglass ones.

 

great idea, don't any further. it reminds of the POS I have out in my shop right now

 

Why?

Them damned fenders didn't flow with anything on the original car, either.

 

I was just sayin'
You're right, but I was just sayin'
Hey, BTW throw up a pic of the side of the truck with those Ply. fenders so's we can see what you have so far

 

I'm probably gonna get an ass-whoopin' for posting these on the HAMB, but here goes...

 

Scanned this out of an early '60s PHR. I thought it was an A but it's a Chevy.

 

Several years ago, there was another bare metal roadster that looked very similar, but I believe started out as a '51 Chevy and had a Jaguar I6 engine. Also used a Buick hood for a boattail deck, had a similar windshield, similar stance, also run hoodless.

Same guy(s)? Anybody know?

 

Fun thread.

A lot of cars walk the fine line between FUGLY and DIFFERENT. Seems to me that it has to do with the owner/builder. If the guy is building it to fit in...its FUGLYY. If it's built for personal enjoyment despite what others think... it's DIFFERENT.

More pix.

 

the transition shouldn't be too hard, I put red dots where I will splice in the chev truck fender and part of the hood.
This will be the next project after I finish up the chop.

 

I will try this again, you are thinking about Chucky's chevy. Not the best photo.

My Hudson isn't exactly a car you see on the road often...

 

Mine is a bit different......67 Bug.

 

What bug?

 

Most of whats on this car makes me say "wow", and not in a good way...but I do like the side window openings....like an extended truck cab with no b pillar. interesting.

 

Nice jugs
........I had'ta........

 

That could work.

What are you gonna do with the rear wheel openings?

 

Yup, you're right. I saw your post after I wrote mine. I remember Chucky's showing up at Paso for years, each time with some other stuff changed, but never in primer. Guess he finally graduated.

 

I think this is how you remember it...












I think it looks like this now...

 

Too bad the engine sticks up so high^
A hood might look goofy.
Or it might not

 

Here are a few pics of my '35 Hupmobile. I've posted pics of it in other threads on here before. These were taken by Kevin Lee of Rod & Custom If you'd like to see the article, click on this link.

The cab started life as a Beetle.

The Humpmoblie is sharp I dig it!

I hate thunderbird with the cross over 50 ford look. grrrrr. They look so out of proportion. Did he work on the hood and fender area more by the headlights, they seem to slope more then I usually see on those conversions.
