Know what i'd like to see?

lurkers projects!

how 'bout it guys?

i know there's a guy out there with a 27 chevy.........


oh yeah, for the rest of you regulars, how about if you can't say something nice, stfu?

 

I'll bite, i dont post much since I dont have much to add most of the time but here is my 50 Dodge business coupe. My mother found it behind a barn in Pa. She wants this car to run no matter what it takes. I have a ****load of work ahead of me. This is when she found it and how it looks now since we trailored it to NY and I started stripping it and getting it in a coat of primer for the winter. My plans are to put i on an S10 frame, take about 6 inches out of the top, air ride (custom set up my buddy is going to build) power by a 318 Poly, 727 trans and 9 inch rear.






This is the bike I built last winter


Thats my brother on the bike, we are gonna start on his this winter possibly, I saw the drawings it should be wild, and me in the backround

 

Good to see progress, Nick!!!

I was wondering if you were going to go custom or g***er...

Keep up the great work!!!

Have a good one!!!

Troy.

 

Nick, Nice 50 dodge, though I started posting more I will always be a lurker at heart.

Here's my front yard flamed 50.

 

Not really a lurker, but still a FNG, but i did lurk for years, if that counts.
Here's my project, '41 big truck cab and hood, 4" chop, 2X3" square tube frame, '70 429 Ford motor/C6/narrowed nine inch.

 

Belchfire, that's SWEET! any more photos?

 

318 Poly is a sweet motor choice for that car. They're an often-overlooked hot rod motor. Would be cool to have a push****on Torqflite behind it with some Plymouth push****ons on the dash.

 

.

That is cool.....do you have pics of it all the way around ?

 

Yeah, here's a couple, hopefully. I am thinking of chrome reverse wheels on it for spring, if anyone wants to photoshop some on it I'd be real happy

 

The poly and trans I got from a buddy of mine down in jersey, he is a big Mopar guy and happened to fall into this motor and gave it to me. But the push****on is a good idea! i gotta look into that.

 

The bone-stock 318/torqflite in my '60 Plymouth is plenty powerfull and gets 24 MPG on the highway.

Just remember, if you plan to run a four barrel on there, start looking for that intake now. They're pretty rare.

 

I think he already has one for me. Should be a perfect set up for what I want.

 

Here are a couple of pic's of what I have in the works.

Thanks to Chevy38_454, or whatever your HAMB name is, for the rear end.

There is a 26-7 roadster body to sit on top of that, with a 327/PG combo.

 

Well I'm kinda of a lurker. More just a new guy. Plenty of reading material here. Here is my truck I have posted before. Although not a project. It is my latest finished project. Later,Bill

 

Belchfire 8 that is a pretty cool ride. not your everyday rod. nice.

 

I have most of the parts for this 1948 JAWA cycle. Even better is that I spoke with the former owner (name listed on current ***le) and he will meet with me this week to do the transfer to my name. I thought that the guy was dead. He lives 10 minutes away from me. The cycle changed locations a few times over the years but was never transferred. I'm going to need a lot of help with this cycle. Is anyone familiar with JAWAs?



And of course there is my 56.

 

This is pretty close to what my cycle should look like.

 

I just pulled this from a field. IT's got 77k original miles and has been sitting since 1981. Last guy who tried to buy it told the old guy it belonged to that he was going to send it to Japan. I'm looking at this 70+ year old guy with a bald eagle on his trucker's cap as he's telling the story, thinking; "what kind of idiot would tell this guy he's gonna ship his bus to Japan?". It's super straight and just about rust free. The grey is oxidized, it's actually dark green!

 

Oh OH...

 

I'm a FNG that doesn't post to often, even though I come by here 3 times a day to read the posts. Here is my project. It is a 24 C cab on a custom ch***is powered by an injected BBC. The engine in the pic is a plastic BBC with a hemi valve cover hanging on it.

 

What?

 

Volkswagens aren't very "accepted" around here, I don't think the moderators like them.

I kinda like the bus, 'specially because it's got the roof windows in it, but it's just not appropriate for the H.A.M.B. Got any other projects?

 

Well here is my project.
A VW 56 vert



Im just starting with this project after completing my Hamb correct project.






To calm all Hard Core roddérs nerves ive added an pic of my Flathead kickbike..

 

VW's are a no no here..

Jonney

 

Hmmm.. Don't like VW's huh? ****s to be me, doesn't it? That's all I dig and I just got here.
I'm not a bus guy first and foremost, or even at all, for that matter, but they are going up in value faster than hell, so I grabbed it. I've got to say, there are alot of goofy S.O.B.'s working on VW's at present, but I can say the same about the rod scene. I'd put my Kustom Kar Kulture knowledge up against any greasy-haired, pants rolled up, drivin' a 60's four door dodge, rockabilly hot-rodder. I don't dig VW's because I can't afford anything else or have no knowledge of anything else....I CHOOSE VW's over others. VW's like Fred Hidalgo's '64 turn me on. Nobody else?

 

Wow, nice intro.....



Mutt

 

george that has got to be the sweetest custom volks i have ever seen id love to just stand by it.. i wish one day my hoodride 71 could be that sweet

 

Relax folks, I'm a professional. Innocent bystanders may want to take a couple of steps back.

 

Unless of course you make a board burner (speedway racer) out of it.
I didn't even know that JAWA was makin' cycles in '48.
That's pretty slick.

 

professional what?
