POST Your Definition of "Hot Rod" Pic

That is the coolest video I think I have ever seen. God bless Ron Stetter!

 

Guy Rouchonnete's blown hemi-powered '34 coupe...

 

for those of you that watched the video, if you like it, leave a comment on the Youtube video. It is a part of the TV show I am trying to get off the ground, any support will help, like leaving nice comments about the video

BTW: I have more coming soon.

Gotta love Littleman, who else could drive a chopped and channeled pickup and still see out the center of the windshield.

 

Hey Brian... that's an awesome video!

 

This does it for me.

 

'took this little clip at Amocat a while back,
those of you with decent sound systems, crank it to about half subwoofer and main volumes

 

Bigger pic.

 

Tom Pruffer's Cop Shop Coupe, has always been in the top 10 to me as far as Hot Rod from any angle! This car was built several years ago inspired by a Dave Bell Cartoon in Street Roddder Magazine. Love this car, and still looks good today!

 

Guys car is nice, but it's not a hot rod.

 

I'll bow to Wally Park's pick for the logo for the NHRA and say Bill Neikamp's '29 av8 is about as traditional a hot rod as your going to find. It's always been my favorite but as we can see from the posting "hot rod" means different things to different people.

I think the NHRA logo is Flints roadster. I had heard that from Dick Flint and Wally both at the NHRA cruise.

Here is Flints answer from the AHRF

Watch for a full feature in issue #4! Damn fine car.

 

my hammered 34 coupe.

 

There's also Bruce Leven's amazing '29 track roadster:



And George Poteet's stunning '32 Five Window Highboy Coupe:



For more on both cars check out the article linked below:

Street Rod of the Year 2003

 

The Orr Roadster and Pierson Coupe are my favourite open and closed Hot Rods.

 

Here's some pics to go with your picks:

Orr Roadster:

Seems like a lot of guys are putting pictures of antiques... but these two cars are HOT RODS!
(and two of my favorite)

 

This is what I had in mind when you said the definition of hot rod... oh, and Cole Cutler's '34.

 

I noticed that the picture of Isky's roadster, one of my all time favorites, is signed to Greg Sharp, ex LA cop and curator of the NHRA Museum. Always amazing what and who he knows as well as what he's done.

 

I looked it up in the dictionary and found this.

 

This is my real Hot Rod
7.20 in the 1/8th at 90 MPH. Except for the upholstery and Tranny all built by me

 

Here's some pics of Cole Cutler's '34 you mentioned:

 

Ouch !!

 

Here what I'd think wins that title! Although I have a special place in my heart for Veda Orr's roadster too!

 

I agree on this one!

 

This is how we do it in Denmark!
