Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

This shot above epitomizes this Thread to a T

Not the first appearance here either...but it never gets old really, just makes me want to see more...
​

 

I guess he built it using a bunch of leftover parts he had. I didn't make it this year to RPM nationals but Ill look for some more pictures on instagram. They are all coming in from yesterday. I thought it was pretty cool...

 

Thanks for sharing it...it is exactly on topic and beyond cool...wonder what was it's motive power...

 

Here's a few more. McCullough supercharger and Navarro heads. Looks pretty cool to me too...

 

High praise from this end...Thanks Ollin...I hope he chimes in and shares the story on it...

 

...Hokey ass cool...

Yes the rear quarters look like Chevy on that roadster. There is no homogenization in the touring above. The three car pic is what it was! What is the front suspension on the middle one?

 

I believe Don Blair knows...its been shared here many times some with a cardboard nose with kooky graphics on it...some of those pics do show better angles on the front suspension...but it again shows Hotrod was a diverse culture back in the day...maybe Jeep , Studebaker...not sure but it sits nice, looks pretty cool and I'd like to know how it performed...

...Another day at the races...there is kingpins...and for an independent suspension it is pretty sharp looking...kind of independent as it seems the top is a transverse spring with the bottom struts separated


​

 

Interesting for sure.

Hamber @bct did a Thread on this dry lakes racer of Don Blair and team at the link above. Basically he was asking as I have wondered, what was in place of a typical I beam axle here...

 

I'm updating his thread but I found this...

...another pic of the Don Blair T

So this I believe is what Don had applied to his T in I'm thinking the mid 50's...I wonder how it performed...being made for Austin's or Special's I'm thinking the weight was possibly a little more significant with the flathead...maybe not...it certainly highlights the diversity that was becoming more commonplace in the culture with global trade and migration of people...

On another note I believe that is the late Hamber @Rockerhead's Cord beside Don's T...another oddball on the world of Go Fast...

Good work Sherlock!
During WWII a lot of young hot rodders were exposed to European auto designs and naturally brought some ideas home. That is what started the sports car craze that caused many rodders to cross over into road racing. Likewise a lot of little European cars got some big ass American engines. In high school I helped a friend put a 327 in his Healy.

 

I can see that brought a smile to your face Anthony......just a little narrow at the kickup and call er' done. That'd get you rubbing the eyeballs in disbelief eh...you know the saying 'pics or it didn't happen'...I guess it did...

I believe that a Jet fuse...I wonder if he got it roadworthy...

Thanks J, I see Clem was from Normal...very fitting...

So it was a WWll Mustang...propeller driven...Kind of beat Chip to the AeroRod eh!...he was said to have decided to make a Touring out of it...kinda Coupester it...

One thing for sure its light even though it looks bulky...

...Beautiful BC...

...pics or it didn't happen...the drag scene without a doubt spilled over onto Street Hotrod...yes there was vice versa but the the kicked out suspension stubby backs really were leaning towards the rails...that's my analogy/opinion for today...

What a nicely pulled off nasty bastard of a pickup...those slicks are hard to beat as well...I wouldn't change a thing...just add lights and plates and giver!!
