My newest project. I will let all of you identify the components. I'll tell you if your right or wrong. Lets see some guesses! http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u200/mizlplix/speedypics001.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u200/mizlplix/speedypics002.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u200/mizlplix/speedypics003.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u200/mizlplix/speedypics005.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u200/mizlplix/speedypics009.jpg This one is really easy.......LOL
looks like a 12 bolt rear, and the engine looks like a SHO Taurus, trans looks like a t5. then again the computer screen I have here at work is crap and I relly should get glasses.
Fiberglass Deuce grille shell, modified Model A frame, some hideous ugly wheels front and back, and what looks like a Taurus SHO engine turned sideways with an Aerostar minivan transmission mounted to it. Do I win?
I'll go with the ford six. The rear is a 10 bolt GM. I'm guessing that the front axle is a 30s Ford, the front wheels are mustang but I'm assumeing that they will change. The frame is an old cut up truck chassis of some sort. Probably an A spring on the rear. The split bones are cool I haven't seen a rear setup like that in years although I'm not sure how necessart they are with the 6 cylinder. the tranny looks like a t-5. But behind a ford it could be a World Class BG. I'm probably absolutly wrong about everything but I do like the rear bones those are the tits.
OK, guys...heh. SHO motor, T-5 5 speed from 5.0 mustang as well as the 8.8 posi axle (Not a 10 bolt), '30 Canadian "A" frame with front horns removed and a suicide perch, "A" radius rods with stiffners welded on and holes drilled, split front bones , front spring behind axle down real low, '32 shell & aluminum radiator. Handmade bellhousing to mate sideways engine to t-5 in a rear wheel drive config. Uses a pinto clutch cable, 51 FORD Pu pedal assy. The Yamaha built V-6 is 225 HP and 10.5-1 compression in stock form. I have underdrive pulleys, larger MAF meter, Injectors and a set of good cams for it too. I'm looking at about 300 HP... The end result should look like an early Indy car with a riding mechanic. A front & rear sway bar is planned, as is Wilwood Dynalite front brakes. I am letting the car tell me what it wants. That way the final result will be a surprise. MIZ
*retch* oh shit...that stuff needs a warning for those who've been drinking. you ever even read the description when you first log on? Hokey Ass Message Board Spreading the gospel of traditional hot rods and kustoms to greasers world wide... bloody fucking hell this stuff gets old..."look at me! i have a butchered model A frame, some mismatched ugly ass wheels, a interestingly engineered yet wholly inappropriate engine, a wannabe grille shell, a straight I-beam axle, a weak late model rearend and i put it together in some semblance of a car...I'M FUCKING COOL!!!" did you see those patch panels with the bullet holes on ebay? they would be perfect for that. fuck, i need another beer...

Ur moms will spank you. Seriously, Venom like this is childish and not good for the board. As an afterthought...If the Mods allow things like this without a peep, then I'm on the wrong board. To those who are interested: Yah, the wheels r ugly, but they r "work wheels".....heh MIZ
Hey bud. first off you need to get off your high horse about what is good for this board. I have only been a member for a short time as well, having said that. You come to a traditional rods and Kustoms board and throw a car like "that" on here and expect not to get any bullshit thrown at you. I realkly think I can name on less than one hand all the possible traditional components that you have on your car. Also what kind of body you gonna put on this car???? Never heard you say what kind of car that this chassis is built for. either way you just started a path on this board and forum so pay your dues.........
Everyone has different tastes and different opinions, I say build what you want to build. If your ideas are original then kudos I say to you. I won't ever condem anyone's originality because it's takes a big pair of balls it seems these days to be original. It's good to be different, that's how we know we're unique.
BWAAHHAA!!! Here it comes! The belly tanker photo should show up at any moment now! (need to save it this time!) LMAO!!
you know; I've looked and looked, but can find no rule stating that this is ONLY for your view of what is traditional..... I like it; it's far better that sticking a pos sbc in it
Way cool slicks and truly bitcin' rear radius rods. I coulld use the frame, the grille shell and the front end....But the project as a whole right now could go off of a cliff, blown up and on fire ...oh and no one would care!!
There is a word for that thing, NASCARPSYCHORATABILLY ROD Find a Taurus to put that motor back into, eBay the grille shell, go buy a six-pack with the scrap value of what's left. Sorry.
WTF happened This year?? Is it me or is the HAMB kinda like goin the gym after new years. All kinds of outta shape newcomers sign up and throw a wrench in your daily routine and you cant wait till they drop out in a month so things can get back to normal. Not that I go to the gym that much, but I do keep up my girlish figure. Ive never seen so many FNG's! Please respect the rules guys, This is everyones house, Thats why we love this place!
When you say its a "mystery project" you are calling it that because its a mystery why anyone would build a car like that right??
It's kind of fun when an FNG starts something like this actually... provides much needed entertainment.
Heh, A 27 year old Ironworker from IL....Now I understand the attitude. Being a 55 year old- 25 year retiree from Local 75. (840408) Still, I guess it is a matter of preference, taste and attitude. I, (like Mikeys toy) dont stoop to comdemning others ideas. Everything comes around again and again. No, I dont care to post any more about my project. It just gives type "A" people a forum to stand on. PS: The belly tanker deal is funny...ROFLMAO. PS/PS: Type "A" persons are the type that feel their ideas and life are "the only way" and have no tolerance for others different from theirs. They also cant leave anything alone and always must have the last word. (HEH)
