Hot Rods What is your “favorite part” of your hot rod or custom?

Push button mechanism for the tailgate.

 

Cool truck
This was my '34 had a '75 Monza 265 cu 170 hp with a Schlitz 15 gal keg fuel tank on the bed. Fun! Liked to watch the world go past in the reflection of the headlight s and the air cleaner was an enamel bed pan with 6 in element inside.

 

I like the interior view from the driver's seat in the Vicky:


And the view from the F100 driver's seat is shaping up the the same:

 

So far? Favorite part is building it my damn self. And learning as I go.

 

Thats very nice.

 

Oh yeh, very relatable..

 

I can relate:

 

The driveshaft in my old coupe……..part of my smoking drive train

 

This little guy. He's 90 years old. The stories he could tell!

 

Now there is something I’ve never seen before. What does the rest of the car look like?

 

The sound of 3 deuces @ W.O.T.!

 

My favorite part is that I did it (will be continued to the end ).

 

John, are you (did you) ever finish this car?

 

no, it has been sitting on the lift for at least 10 years. My friend and I have bought and sold the car to each other probably 5 times in the last 30 years. I am not sure who actually owns it now. It is a waste of a lot of good work .

 

I came out of school (college) one day and a cop was giving me a ticket for an illegal fuel tank on my 55 IH stake body. We put a pop top filler cap in the bung from a TR6 I think, of a Firestone, double wall, stainless steel tank. When the cop called it a beer keg, I pointed out the Firestone, and double walled stainless, and told him it was a custom fuel tank made for hot rods. He bought it and let me go.

 

The fact that it was my dad's dream car. He worked on it for 4 decades but was never ever able to finish it. My brother and I took it out of storage and finished it for him. He was able to enjoy it for 14 years before we lost him. Some of his ashes are in the car so he is still enjoying the ride.

 

is that the car in your profile pic?

 

Yes it is. That photo was taken in 1960 when I was two years old.

 

This will be:
Just needs to be fitted to the Whatever project.

 

I'm currently partial to this view of my 5w project. Chrome rear and 4 polished SS pipes...

 

"Scavenger Organ Pipes"... Listen to the sound of our people!

 

I like to go somewhere and do something. Years ago, we used to have “rod runs”. Getting there was half the fun.

 

Being in the driver's seat.

 

2nd favorite part of my roadster. (taken during build)

 

Yes sir... even the crate is cool!!

 

For me and my rigs, I think its the back stories of them. And I enjoy the back stories of other peoples rigs as well. Its all about the personality of the rod for me.

 

Driving it…especially with my 3yr old grandson Silas!

 

The pipes and the sound they make.
