Inherited my 40 Ford Deluxe from my grandfather 20 years ago, he had built a SBC 327 with a Muncie four speed. I put up with purist rants for years but enjoyed the car because it was in my family for as long as I can remember. He built the engine, hand ported the heads, built the four speed with close ratio used parts and converted it to propane fuel from and old fork lift and it was his summer daily driver for years. I decided to make this old hot rod my own. I sold the engine to another guy that cleaned it up and put it in his 40 Ford so it lives on in a familiar fat fendered car. Sold my 2000 Indian Chief to finance H+H Flathead to build me a sweet little flathead with all the bells and whistles and hooked it up to a Ford toploader with a Jeep shifter. I think my grandfather would like what I did to his car and sometimes I feel him riding next to with a smile on his face.
Holy ****, a hot rod with roof racks. Cool and practical at the same time. I like it, and you don't see many rods now days with fishmouth (or whatever they're called) exhaust tips. I like em too.
With the hood closed who gives a rip what motorvation you choose....I like it a lot! and your winger is a cutie!
I love it and I don't care if it has an LS motor (wish I had one!). LOL And that 2nd picture is a winner!!!
Your cheating by throwing a little cutie in there. I would run into a burning house to get that pic out. Good looking car and welcome to the HAMB.
Lsx38ford Cute granddaughter or daughter. Heres mine helping me put down new carpet in the oldsmobile station wagon.Bruce.
Welcome to the HAMB-No turd, I like it- all the right stuff for a cool L.A. style rig. "The Barrio Bomber". Cute co-pilot too! Digging the "fishtails!" Have fun; drive safe.
Your TURD looks better than my TURD! But who's really looking! Very cool now drive the snot out of it! Joe
Thanks for sharing. Fun is what this old car thing is all about. How much of a Turd can an LS powered car be? Gary
Funny I couldn't tell it is an LS driven car. Maybe we should develop a don't ask don't tell policy. I could not doubt find lots of things that I don't like about the car but what purpose would that serve. Welcome aboard, stick around and learn what you can and teach when you can.
