Features T A I L D R A G G E R S..... again...

I dont know maybe it's me not knowing what im talkin about but the last two post's with the pics of these cars laying frame sure don't come to mind when I here the word "TAILDRAGGER". Like I said it must be me.

 

eh, they can easily be adjusted to taildrag....look closer at my second pic. Its not laying frame and if you REALLY look, there's more than just 2 posts of pics laying frame...put the glasses on.

 

Oh thanks man,I just put them on and yes you are right ,these cars that are laying frame(or very close to laying frame) do look like taildraggers now. Like I said on my earlier post.... I didnt know what I was talkin about.

 

still needs some work like a chop..but the rear is pretty low no blocks either.48 coupe

 

I'm sure you do know what you're talking about.

 

A couple of my LaSalle...............still in progress...

 

TAILDRAGGER!!!!... Dragging tail!!!
Back end of the car lower than the front end of the car.
So not level or laying frame and no forward rake... TAILDRAGGERS

 

My good friend Jerry Genuso's (mostly) '36 Plymouth

awesome pics Rikster...as always.

Jerry has a nice 36, anymore pics bob-o?

 

what a car.
Not really a fan of the term taildragger

 

The word Custom should do it. But times have changed.

 

Here's a link to a site with a few more pics.

Okay, some awesome cars ---- looks like a show I need to put on my calendar for next year!

 

I guess mine would be in this group

 

best thread on the hamb

 

Wow Rik, that is so solid and so true it sounds like it came from the bible or something. Not in a million years nobody could of said it better. Thank you

 

I want to play too......

In progress daily driver. Mild chop, mild custom.

 

You're on track Brant.

 

Jaws I dig your car but I would love to see it with a true taildragger stance. I would raise that front end a lil bit and I dont mean with a switch and a compressor. It is lookin a lil low in the front for a taildragger. Just my opinion man, dont mean very much.

 

It actually is only a half inch lower in the rear......so yeah not a true taildragger more of a level custom.

Thanks for the looks and the compliments. Means alot.

 

I just love the bodystyle you have and I think with the front a little higher it just makes those cars really flow nice. They make great customs in my opinion and I dont think many people realize that. Very cool pic on the salt.

 

Anyone think this is Taildragger material?

 

That Nash is nice! Would love to see some more photos of it.

 

Well its perfect customizing material for sure.
Not so much taildragging material... but only since I feel that real "taildragger" need to have real fenders both front and rear. So basically all cars from 1935 till 1948 would be good material. Your 1950 DeSoto would make a perfect custom though...

 

Cant find any nice pics of customized 1949-1951 Mopar coupe's. U got any hiding somewhere???

Have a lot of toughts in my mind what to do with it. CUSTOM is the 1:st on that list!!!

 

Here´s similar year Chrysler that I photoshopped a while back. Chop may be a touch heavy.

 

Nice flow on the roof. Might be a inch or two to much. But the rear roofline is so good.

 

Very kool James, nice job removing the sunvisor. Lowering the stainless adds alot
of class to the build. It makes you ask why didn't they do that from the factory.

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Why did they deliberately misalign all the chrome on the car? Odd isn´t it!

 

great thread, glad I can add to it. My 41
