Hot Rods new trend? vintage street legal race cars/ post pics

Yeah man....these "trends" are dilluting the "truth"....

That 4th pic rules...
I can just see the look on the truck drivers faces as I drive by....blipping the throttle for good measure...
That's the stuff DREAMS are made of.....

 

I think sprint's belong on the dirt sliding sideways and pulling wheelies on the straight aways. Horsepower to weight is awsome!

 

cruising the city streets,country roads,and interstates in a legal silver crown car is a kick in the ***, people take pictures at stop lights,its just amazing at the attention it gets

 

what do you tell your Insurance people when trying to put one of those on teh road ???

 

just tell them its safer than any street car,its a street rod,they saw photos

 

I've seen a few.

 

I have wanted to have a Legend car for a commuter car. fun and economical

 

here is the nose of legend car in texas thats road legal
that's the only pic l have of it so far.

later

 

hey midget racer it must have been you i saw a few years back when i was leaving the sandwich fair i was confused as hell seeing you go down the road didnt see it up close so i didnt see the plates to know it was legal i just thought you were crazy it was right in downtown

 

I'm with the horse on this one

 

yeah it was most likely me since theres no other car like it around,ive taken it to some of the cruise nites there in plainfield,ive got 18000 miles since the spring of 2000

 

Now thats got to be the best Ive seen at converting a sprint for the steet,And Ive seen some real bad
At least there was effort in trying keep it looking like a sprint car

Silver Crown cars have got a longer wheelbase anyway, so they still look right when you push the motor forward to get a ****** in there.

 

thanks ;;
alot of people just want to throw a car together,its the attention to detail that means everything

 

This looks tradional enough to me!

 

not really vintage but some one sent me these street legal nascar ones, every body must want in on this trend!! ps, the truck is for sale for a paltry 20K!

 

I did know that Between engines Ive built and sitting in line up waiting for them to draggem off when they get knotted up

I always liked a GOOD wingless show over a winged,problem is around my part of the country its mostly winged, and the wingless shows at the local tracks have the same guys running without ...which is something their not used to hence alot of cations and reds
Now go to the midwest whole different story
Thought a sprint always looks better with the bigger tail tank anyway

Here is my scheme..60's roadster front,27 t back

 

Here is an old Shores car that is street driven

 

Josh Shaw (corngrower 32)is making kits to build this style car for street driven old school racers.

 

Here is a Gambler car that I'm working the kinks out of

I think that is a sharp car, old NASCAR Modified.....the sprint cars with the wings are a no go, a little common sense needs to come into play here.

 

Any body with common sense would not drive a sprint car on the street. Hot, Cramped,and full of fumes ( and a lot of fun)... the wing is only a problem when a semi gives you a cross wind...other than that its nice shade.

 

The wheels and wing makes it look ridiculous.

 

I agree, This is the before pic..Its all apart in the shop being redone to address your concerns...you missed commenting on the cool white wall tire turned inside on the front...

 

Heres my silver crown car that has 18000 miles

 

Heres a shot taken at indy

 

Here is my gay as hell '64 Galaxie that has a full cage, Frankland quick change, weight jacks, and usually all the people around it at the cruise nights I take it to:

 

That's swiggitty sweet, man. I've got a 65 Ford post car that is up for the same treatment if I can ever get to it....

 

My I like that Galaxie--that bad boy has Thunder road written all over it!
