You sir are a very lucky man! What a bitchin ride!!!

61 VW and 66 GMC

 

here is my heap...needs some work. sorry if it isn't old enough. looking to pinstripe it but i still suck at pinstriping.



engine...cam/heads/turbo(?) coming.



love the slot mags/ansen sprints....

 

Well the last one isn't mine, but we can all dream.

 

I recently purchased a 1931 Ford Model A pickup. First hot rod build. I plan to chop it 4", channel it 3" or 4" (even with bottom of frame) and go fenderless. Looking for that vintage 50's hot rod style.

Still haven't decided on motor yet, but definitely V-8 with lake style pipes. Most likely SBC or Ford Y block. Loud, but not too bad and able to light up the rear tires, which will most likely be on 16" artillery wheels with bias ply whitewalls. Would like it to be manual trans. if plenty of room for 3 pedals. I know they'll fit, just how tight will it be. If not, most likely Turbo 350 or Ford C-4.

I plan on boxing the stock frame, little bit of kick up in rear and going with 4" drop stock axle and either split 'bones or hairpins. 37-48 Spindles with F-100 backing plates and drums. I will leave the rear with the transverse spring and a Ford 9". That about covers it. Any suggestions are always appreciated. This site has been a great inspiration so far and there are many talented people on here.

Here is my 390 powered '59 F100 and my "for Sale" '52 IH L-112 barn find

 

That pick-em-up is a sweet starting point J Dog! Post pictures of the work progress when you get em'

 

Just finished the '40 in Sept '09. The Model A is the next project. Already have TCI rolling chassis for it, a '65 327 motor and a 700R4 trans. Plan to keep the fenders on it and not chop the top. Probably paint it flat black with white roll & pleat interior. Have a '60 chevy steering wheel for it , going to paint it red metal flake and pearl white. Finishing honey-do's now, will start on it next month and plan to be finished this time next year. My daily drive is a '70 chevy short wide pickup, but I don't have any decent pics of it. Trying to sell the '40 to fund the Model A. Anyone interested it is in the For Sale section. This is a great forum, wish I had know about it earlier.

 

Been on here a while now but still a FNG ! Heres my latest, 1918 Buick with a 400" Pontiac, runs 14 secs dead on a stock motor & box, looking for a blower set up for next year, need a manifold, anyone.

 

Well I POST ONE BUT MOST HERE WON'T LIKE IT..but I do love old hot rods and if I had room to put one I am sure I own one..old 30-40 mopar would be real cool.I have spent weeks here reading Lots of great ideas..so here it is .

 

well it's in its early stages, and I don't even have a smidgen of the capabilities of many on this board, but it's mine and someday it will be daily driver material



59 Apache, 235 inline 6, 4 speed manual tranny, no exhaust, no bed, but only minimal rust.

 

Very cool!

 

heres my 31 going with a 60's look eventually.

 

my ride , the "FAT RAT"

 

Building this one to where I won't need a jack to change the oil.......

 

How could anyone not like it!!! That to me is as important to automotive history just as is the early iron, it all ties together. But then I'm a sucker for Mopars.

 

forestell mo my best place is anything goin on at the dragstrip heard that the developer backed out any truth to that rumor

 

OK... a quick scan of this thread shows 32 post '63 cars, 15 foreign jobs, and 1 mini truck. I lost count of the fenderless trucks, and I ain't goin' anywhere near the rat rod/street rod thing.
I'm NOT bitchin' about this. Fact is I'v never ever seen a car, any car, that I couldn't find at least something interesting to look at. (There are a lot of very nice rides in this thread) I'm simply making the point before I post pix of my OT truck.
My only defense is that I started this before there was much of an internet, long before there was a HAMB, and while still under the influence of sport cars. I have continued to build through just about every bummer you can imagine, and I will drive it... someday.
