Anybody got some thirties-early fourties style rods?

Hello.
Im new to this corner of the internet, so first of all I want to pay my respect to y'all, I've been lookin' round for a while and... You guys are sittin' on a mountain of knowledge.! Well I see clearly now that I've got a thing.... Or five hundred to learn.!!

Well I was wondering if any of you are driving/building really old style hotrods, like thirties early fourties era?

Perhaps if you did, maybe you would post some pictures?

Here's a couple of mine. It aint much of a hotrod, but it's there.

Looks pretty hotrody to me. I like it! Welcome...

 

Dude -

That car is what the website is ALL about.

Killer car.

 

That's about as pure as a hotrod can be.. thanks for posting..

Thank you.!
I build everything by my self.

I just thought that in resemblance (or however you spell that) to some of the cars i've seen in here.... Iiit's purdy basic. Heh.

Kedde.

 

That IS a hot rod. Good lookin ride. Glad to have you aboard.

 

Welcome, one of the nicest intro's Ive seen, would'nt exspect less from the Danes, tell Morton I say hello if you know him! If ya don't ...ya should. One of my cars, just gettin her ready for sale....or Hillclimb!

 

Thats one nice ride there.!

Yep I know both Mortons. But is it the one with the 47 caddy from Copenhagen, who is allso the organiser of Bedrock weekend. Or is it the one with the 32 phaeton from Viborg??

 

Very nice, Kedde. What kind of intake and head are you using on there? Is that a 94 carb?

 

It's a Thomas head that I modified the chambers on, cause they had the wrong shape. The intake and linkage is homebrewed, as I could not afford the real thing. And the carb is actually a 94 with a 81 butterfly, it's an experiment that i've made and it works just fine. It's got stock tranny and rear end, but she still manages to scoot along at 90mph.

Are you allso into banger engines??

Kedde.

 

I'm gathering T parts... at a glacial pace. It'll be a touring car, but I'm unsure as to whether I'll go Gabby Garrison style or Multy Aldrich style.

Hi Kedde ! Welcome to the HAMB ! I really dig your car
That Thomas Head on your fourbanger is a really rare piece!!

 

Sweet ride!! Unchopped, unchanneled abones have a special place in my heart.

 

that picture kicking up dirt is the greatest! thanks for posting and welcome to the H.A.M.B!

 

Thanks again.
Yep that head took me a year to get my dirty hands on. If you ever get your hands on one, I'll tell you that you'll have to put a lot of work in to the chambers before it will work fine.

Side Valve.: Thats a beautiful jalopy ya got there.
Kickin' up dirt is what she's build for.

Kedde

 

Very nice car. Dead on right.

 

That is the plan here, I was lucky to find a real low mile gennie Deuce chassis that came out of a pristine Cabriolet that was turned into a street rod. The body is a 30-31 Roadster body, I could not afford a Duece body.

 

Your car has been inspiration for me during my build! I have a few shots of your car in my archive of "what I like to call art". It's perfect man! I'm with you on a traditional hot rod. Have you seen the book "Birth of Hot Rodding" the dry lakes era? If not a must have, documents what I call true hot rods. Anyways, I'm as well building a 40's style hot rod. Mine is a 30 Tudor. The car was a "heated" Oklahoma barn find. The old guy that was restoring it passed away like 25 years ago, and it has sat in a heated garage since. Not a drop of Bondo in her. And he had already converted it to Juice Brakes, and supposedly rebulit both the transmission and engine.I've been working on the front end, dropped axle, redoing the juice brakes, and plans to keep the four banger with a single Ansen intake, Stromberg LZ carb, and some big and little bias ply firestones. Fenders at first, and then will see. Just finished up the rear seat today, covered it in a 1949 Wool Army blanket. Trying to stay right on era. Anyways, thanks for the inspiration and I hope to see more from you and others.

 

Well Chopt 34. You could spend a mountain of foldin' money on a duce body. But stickin' with that old Model A body alows you to drive some more efford in to gettin' the engine to whail. and thats even more fun than havin' a duce body shell. aint it?

You got lucky Tyler, that car looks sound, ya dont find em like that here in Denmark. And you got juice brakes, mine are just modified mechanicals. Im happy that my car has been inspiration to you, I never tougt that would happen.

Kedde.

 

Kedde,

LOVE IT !!!!!! Looks to be a ton of FUN !!!!!!!

Yep I sure do. I'll post a pic tonight. Just got the new (old )carb running right today. I like your car.

 

Morton with the big grin and the Phaeton. Wish I had a pic of us heading up the hill at Devil's Peak this year, good times. I have video of this years race, should be getting it back soon, I'll share with everyone when I get it.

 

Wow, that's one of the most awesome rides I've seen on here! She's a beauty!

 

Now that Morton, Morton Hoybye, is a very good friend of mine.
He throws a party next weekend, where me and my band will play some honky tonkin' hillbilly tunes. That'll be fun for shure.

Kedde.

 

Here's a picture of my old four banger hotrod. Just got it running after 40 years of storage.-GZ in Detroit

 

Cool car dude! Welcome.

 

GZ, is that an original Michigan car? I'd love to know the history on that one.

Saw some pictures of your sedan posted on one of the monthly Banger threads(?), where you were REALLY throwing it about!

Very cool indeed. Did you decide not to sell it?

Kept the pictures as inspiration for my Sedan. Except it'll have fenders. And four doors. And be taller...

 

heres mine

 

Here are a couple pics of the one I am building for the basement at detroit this year. Hopefully they will have it!!! I found it in a shed right here in town a couple years back. Same story, guy was restoring it since the 70's and passed away. It is so nice I cant take the knife to it. So I figured that I would make an early rod out of it and save it in case anybody would ever want to put it back to stock. Plans are to put on a thomas in take with a pair of 81's. Make it look like someone just picked up a coupe and took off the extra weight and purchased their first speed part! Cool thread, hopefully there will be more pics!
