POST Your Definition of "Hot Rod" Pic

If you were trying to define "hot rod" to someone from another planet, then this before-and-after picture (from over on the Model A thread) says it all.

 

HOT ROD it´s freedom

 

I kinda like Petes' modified

 

Yep....just saw it this weekend (LARS). One of the bestest ever. Still has no real interior. Nose has probably been repaired a hundred times.

 

That deuce gave me a woody!!!! May I use it for my avatar?????

 

you hit the nail on the head!

 

I gotta throw mine in. It`s almost broke in...

 

Here's miy '27 T

 

Then and now.

 

one from my "glamour" photography for hire archive...

 

Its gotta be Black, Loud and Fast

 

I could never just pick one, and so many of my favorites have been posted already. How about one nobody has really seen?

 

O K kids. which of these is not like the other? VERY COOL

 

I've always loved that image! That's as close to describing a Hot Rod as ever I've seen....... Centurion9

 

Billetproof defines this as "Hot Rod"

 

SInce we're doing side by sides, I think both of these fit my picky criteria.

 

Uh oh Jeff, you're obsessed!!! Are we sliding down that slippery slope from Custom guy to hard core hot rod hoodlum? It's all down hill from here buddy. If there ever was a car to be obsessed about that'd be one of them!

 

Dude I think I am obsessed. I cant get this machine out of my thoughts! I have always been into Hot Rods but i tried to push it away while doing the merc.I only usually lose control at Bonneville but spending a lil more time at C.C.H.R. lately and seeing this 34 in person has just about brought me to the point of no return!!!! Im doomed now.

 

Awesome thread.

this dose it for me the cotton werksman ride.. low and mean..

 

These are some true hot rods

 

Lowdown and badass coupe from the 40's. Tall skinny tires. Nice combo of rubber and attitude rake. Sideview from 75 feet away shows the end of the pipes at the center of the door. Chopped or not, good. Salt or dry lake in the front vision and all beyond. Maybe some influence from Zora?

 

Thanks. i am honered

 

This is the most recent one to catch my eye that says Hot Rod to me.

 

No confusing it for anything else.


Cliff Hansen's Brizio car is one of my all time favorites.
