Any photos of 1930's Lake Modifides?

Dose any one have un-published photos of 1930's Lake modifides with Whippet grill shells and Franklin front axles? I have all the easy to find books covering the lakes and early hot rods. I'm working on my lakester and could alway use the help.

 

have you looked here ? not sure if any of them are 'unpublished'

Thank you so much! Jimmy B

That is what I am looking for!

I will post a photo of my T, as soon a I can fiiggger how to do it.

Thanks again, Craig

 

PS. Thank you also! Repo Man and Model A Keith

 

Neat looking project. Going to be a modified in my near future as well.


I'll give you hand with your pics.

 

Nice car ! Who make that front tire you are using? Also what size is it ?

 

Man; is that sweet! that axle/grille shell combo were made for each other.

 

Are those chevy framerails?

 

Go to the *****s website and go to Pit Crew Gallery and check out Jim Renchs at Hotrod Stuffs narrowed 27 early style roadster. Very cool!

 

Thanks!

The frame is a 1927 Wippet as is the grill. The front wheels are 19" Chevys with Coker cycle tires, as for the back it has 17" Ford wheels with 17-7.00 Coker tires. It getting lever shocks in all the way around.

 

Thanks with the help with the photos, Codeman

 

No problem, I've gotten one PM about the car though so just to clarifiy,

The pics I posted are jacksonville jalopy's.

 

Since your posting build shots here... I thought I would add a chopped 32 to Whippet comparision

 

Sorry wrong shot... senior moment

 

Whippet shells are so much cooler than '32s.... but then again I'm biased

 

Great project! It's neat seeing someone build a 3-springer. I am gathering parts to build a very similar style car. Whippet shell, 27 Chevy frame, 27 Chrysler tube axle...24-25 T body...and 4-banger powered.

Keep us posted on the progress.

Now, that I have all the parts things are going realy fast.

I'm using a pair of split late 30's Lincoln front bars for the rear. I found a great tech in the Feb 2010 Rod and Custom on using the split bars for the back. and they have some good tech on lever shocks as well.

Not a vintage car... just vintage parts being built into a car

 

I was able to get a wippet shell but am unsure what to do for a core. The upper tank is the tuff part. If anyone has a spare one pm me. Anyone have any thoughts on how to make one? - Norm
