My version of a traditional rod w/pics

Nice job, I am building one too and this is great inspiration. Raven would be interested too I'm sure. That is a great looking "traditional" hot rod thats for sure.

 

Hello

Great looking rod. I've been watching your posts and I'm impressed by how it turned out.

Do you have any pics straight from the side at a distance so I can see the ride height and rake of it. I planning to use a front suspension similar to yours so it would be great to see.

Thanks, Magnus

 

Wide fives with contrastng hub and wheel colors, naked to the world and a flatty, one needs to look no further, GORGEOUS!

 

Very, very nice!

Simple, traditional, elegant, all in one.

You nailed it.

The chauffeur looks like he's havin' fun, or you're very small for your age

 

Man,

That is the reason I love 27's. Well done!

Heres a few pics from the 2 yards it was built from.

Traditional hot rods had paint!
Anyone here over 50 can tell you that!
I will NEVER agree to re-inventing history.
Maybe you learned that in school.
In the world ?
It dont happen!

 

the two middle cylinders share an exhaust port on the side of the block so there are only three ports

 

Thank you !
Looking at the pictures off the junk yards I can see some new project already !
I wish we had junk yards like that around here .

Yes, i am very blessed to have these yards around. Those pics are a few years old, a lot of cars have come out of there since then. a few to fellow hambers.

very nice and very clean i like it

 

I purposedly left it without those things. i was kinda wanting a car made from junkyard parts, not performance equipment. It doesnt even have a 97, just the ol ford 94.

 

That is one cool little T Jim nice job.

 

Wow, do I feel like a heel!
a. Jim Sibley is one awesome human being.
b. He can paint like nobodies business.
c. I shouldnt post when I'm drunk.

Sorry Jim.
I love your car.

 

Very cool, love the front end treatment, very simple and effective.

 

yea rod. you had me confused. it is very painted, buffed and shiney. I understand the drunk thing.

Yep good job for such a little *****

 

reminds me of the 3 english 27's back before the kustom kulture trend hit hard. (although they were gl***) tp aka zibo

 

excuse my ignorance but where are the front shocks?

 

Looks great! Love the flathead & wide 5's!

 

Looking good! The theme looks a lot like my pigpen mobile. Now you've got me thinking "Wide Five"! Hmmmm

pigpen

 

cool

 

Just a little update,its been 8 years since this car was built. in that time I have logged somewhere over 25000 miles on it. This car has turned out to be one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned.

 

Well now that your older you not only can reach the pedals you should know v8,s have four pipes per side!( joke) .....really love it,......simple is always tasteful
