Art & Inspiration HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS OWN A HOT ROD & A CUSTOM

I consider my '40 a mild custom, and my '39 a Hot Rod.

 

Oh Sure - once you open the hood LOL
Forgive me

 

But Danny, "all hot rods are customs but not all customs are hot rods."

I get what you mean, you have never owned a sled. I have built a couple even built a bombita and a hopper (on juice not air), but never owned one either. Probably why it would never do for me to own certain cars, I would end up building a hot rod out of it if I owned it. LOL

That said I do own a clapped out model A sedan and a bike that someone told me was a custom a while back. I laughed about it, not even close to being a custom.

 

Now I know who owns these cars when I see them at shows...I like 'em

 

Heck yeah, next time you see the cars out...say Hi. I'll let you buy me a beer!

 

HRP...Does this count? Probably as close as I am going to get!

 

The Peckury and the Peckerhead Coop.

 

Car rich. Money poor........... All are insured and driven...........

 

I have a hot rod and two sports cars now. Planning to build a custom next...50's sedan or truck with lots of chrome.

 

32 Ford roadster(avartar), 51 Meteor mild custom, cira 58 Royal 250 quarter midget, 4 cylinder nostalgia dragster(roughly based on a Chassis Research chassis) Do nearly all of my own work and use lots of junk yard parts so my capital investment is low.

 

I have a custom 50 ford,a 55 ford with a modified y block-if not a hot rod at least a warm stick-a glass 23 T with a 327 sbc,my work in progress A chassis Plymouth flat 6 powered speedster thing,an OT chevelle that is fairly warm and my latest project a mid 60s big ford 4 dr sedan with a 406 and 4 speed,so yes I think---

 

I have a hotrod and a mild custom

 

My 2

 

That will probably happen

 

Just me, but I think HAMBers spend WAAAAAAY too much time obsessing over what constitutes a hot rod/street rod/custom/musclecar, ect.

 

1949 International KB-2. My Grandpa started with a very nice 3/4 ton step side long bed that ran, and took 8" out of the bed and frame. Roughed in a Mustang II disc-brake front end and a 1967 Camaro 10 bolt rear. He passed in the middle of it, and after floating around my family untouched for 3 yrs, my Dad and I bought it and finished it in exactly one year. 350 crate motor/TH350, tilt wheel. Driven everywhere. Not a show truck/trailer queen...

Have a 26 Dodge roadster pickup with a hemi,
52 Olds with a choped top
The DeSoto will be a mild custom

 

Here's my two. I may have screwed up since I think my mild custom is faster than my hotrod.

 

I have both. Two 29 Ford's . One 51 Chevy coupe and the truck in my avatar

I'm gonna hold you to that. Lucky for you...I'm a cheap date.

 

My biggest problem is I just love all of them... I have a Gasser, Hot Rod, Custom, banger, and a mix of all of them. Its kinda ridiculous what my wife lets me get away with. Lol

 

Is the hood ornament that big or is there something on the ground giving it that illusion? HRP
