Projects Wannabe tubester

Hi , i´m gone grazy?

I had parts lying around in my garage , since i´we bee carrying them there many years , and finaly they are takin some shape.....

It has 28 ford axels and two tub from my friends yard(his wife had some flowers in those He told me that tubs are from former mental hospital ,and that they are from 30-40´s....

Engine is flathead 60hp and transmission is 3speed.

I dont know , maybe too long winter here in Finland

i like it but i dont know why.

its got somthing

 

I....um....er, that is to say.... uh.... I kinda like it, too. I'm not sure what the hell it is, but I like it. Looks like more fun than a bathtub full of ****ies.

 

THATS different....to say the least......

 

It´s going to wear a-model stainless grill and moon 2gal.tank (in the back or front ,i don´t know yet)

I just want to do something "new" and had this crazy idea to have real tubs on wheels... I have had a blast to make it reality ,because i dont have eny rules.

Here in cold Finland we do have lots of rules ans laws ,that are often really stupid and nerv wreckkin if you want to build a hot rod , and try to get it inspected ewery year ,like we have to do with all our cars. (exept museum objects) With this one i surely dont ,have to worry about it!

 

What hot rodding is all about... very creative... not traditional but who the hell cares... you've got something everyone will talk about... good or bad... make your mark, you can keep going and take that thing to the next level...

Good luck man...

I love it...

 

its kool! dont stop keep going! more pics!

 

It made me smile.

 

Thanks , i´m new in this HAMB thing , and have been in hotrodding about ten years and allways liked those bandoned ,oddrods...

I really dont care if sombody likes it or not , i´we made it to my self

This one is my only summer transportation nowadays :

It´s 37 Nash with blown 454 and overdrive automatic and it is street legal in here , so i wanted somekind relaxation project and this has been working , heck you can even take a bath in it

 

blown big block.

 

Kinda reminds me of a hotwheels car...My vote goes to the like side.

 

Tubester...??? Oh...tub...Tubster...now I get it...and seeing as how you are in Finland...the correct spelling (at least in the US it) would be without the 'e', as in "Tubster"...

Very creative...looking good...

R-

 

Fun is Fun, I like your helper.

 

Yes , i know the spelling is wrong Englishwise ,but in finkland we say it rains like from *** of the ester , so it´s kinda pointing this madness with the bathtube and so on... And allso the word "vanna" in finish language means tub. I´m sure that it doesn´t open to you but that´s allright...

I started with that thing 2month ago ,and plan is that next summer i will drove it to some happenings.

Here in Finland hardly nobody knows this project at all , so it will be intresting to follow , how fast people get to know it from here ,i know that meny Finnish hotrodders read your fine messageboard.

 

Yes , with vortech belt driven superchrager (it havent blown up yet ,though),and a intercooler. This was a "littlebit" offtopick and different car , sorry.

 

WoW! Kinda reminds me of some Ed Roth's old creations.

Trying to have image here...Not working ,patience....

 

Old dog learn new tricks

 

Oh , hello Mika , it didn´t take long that someone spotted me , BUSTED!

 

Haha, no problem. I'm not telling anyone... I would change the wheels though, more ol' skoolish thing, you know... I think I'm liking it...

 

GAwd, not Roth, BARRIS, I think!

 

...Barris Trough-mobile (it needs some tucked velvet)???

 

I knew that i get feedback recarding the tires , thing is that i bought those tires for my nash ,but they didn´t fill the wheel openings properly ,and i just use them here because i dont have money to buy new ones for this kind of exersize... Maybe later on. Everything else is over 70years old minus tires,wheels and rear shocks....

 

I've been told that 'tubbed' cars aren't traditional...
