I like the concept. Anybody can put a Ford in a Ford, Chevy in a Chevy and so on. Hot rodding is all about adapting.
Great video. Look at all the multi carbed. motors, and they drove them. So many experts today saying multi carbs are too much trouble. It would be...
I'll just call it subtle.
My thoughts exactly.
I bought this 3w in the early 70s. Complete basket case. Olds motor gone, LaSalle trans gone, Chromed rearend gone.
Sweet. Pure Hot Rod.
B-24 converted to Privateer ?
WOW! That hood is stretched a bunch.
Bite the bullet. Patch the holes and prime. Nothing you can do will hide those awful taillights.
What a great history lesson. Give us more, please.
Thanks for the pics. Great to see hot rodding alive and well.
Great history. I remember the pic. in Car Craft, probably still have that issue.
I remember seeing this Nomad . It was in the California desert, near Winterhaven. I think it was the Sand Dune Nationals or something like that....
As usual, another thread has gone off the rails.
I'm betting it's the cheesy Chinese turn signal switch.
YAY!!!! Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about, and how to explain it. Thanks.
Agreed. I had hoped the whole "patina" thing had run its course.
Because of my lack of money over 60 years ago, I learned to do my own work. My theory has always been " If God didn't create it, I'm going to try...
Great pics. Thanks.
You people who cling to the belief that drum brakes are just as good, are dilutional. Unless you drive like a person who is elderly and in...
I just went through this ordeal. I'm using 10"x 2 1/2 " brake shoes. The parking brake parts are specific to those brake shoes. And , to me, they...
Similar car for sale in the Pitsburgh, PA. area in the late 60's early 70's. No buyers, nobody wanted a channeled Cabriolet. If it had been a...
This kinda looks like it could be Tom Meers 3w from the Philadelphia Modifiers.
You bring up a good point. I have the same tires on my car. I get a vibration in my steering wheel, about 60mph. I hadn't thought about the rear...
I've mentioned before about my buddy sending his tube axle to a high end plating place near Cleveland, Ohio. This axle was fully prepped, ready...
I hope he doesn't pinch, tuck stretch, shrink, and so on.
Concerning tube bending. If I have several bends in one area, I use heavy steel wire, not coat hanger, it's too hard to bend with my old arthritic...
Invest in a hydraulic flaring tool. I, like so many here, have used a manual flaring tool for decades. It isn't the typical H F, it's Imperial...
Looks like on the bridge coming out of Fort Pitt Tunnel, Pittsburgh.
