Heres my first Rod when I was two years old. I was having to adjust the coilovers a little bit. Please no comments on my socks and shoes...LOL
When I was five years old, I had a pretty cool pedal powered thing called a "**** car" .... until my mom backed over it in her '62 Ford wagon and flattened it.
Boy I remember my first hot rod like it was yesterday. It was lime green 76 chevette 4 on the floor black interior she was chick magnet WAIT WAIT never mind
As some one in PA said..".it takes a real man to cut one up..." Looks like a lot of shrinking needed before the license too.
What a cool picture! And car too! If it wasn't for the mig in the shot you could almost picture the same shot taken 50 - 60 years ago.... Hell you still can. Looking good
yea it took alot to cut into it but this one is gonna be nice, i was surprised on the room inside to its not that bad, im 6'0 right now and fit fine with the stock sear risers and about a 5 in cusion 4.5 in chop
My dad bought a 34 coupe in 1955. I remember riding around the block in the rumble seat...Mom made him sell it. Here are 2 kids that will remember their first time in grand dad's hot rod !
The one that I remember is my first ride in a neighbors 36 Ford 3 window coupe. It had a 283 in it with a Lincoln transmission running to the stock rear. Went around the block once or twice enjoying the hell out of it. Shortly after that the guy pulled it in his garage and there it sat for God only knows how many years til he p***ed away. I talked to his brother about the possiblity fof buying it, but he wasn't ready to part with it. Then about three years ago the garage burned. I went by and all kinds of stuff had fallen down on the car and it was pretty ugly looking....it was a shame to see that happen to a nice car to start with, but it was the one that got me hooked on hotrods
