Welcome from another Texan. Shoeboxes are cool.
I thought your car was FANTASTIC. Too bad the DW curse got you early. :)
I'm running my coupe again. Its going to be fun with more gassers this year. And BP will have a fast car.
I took lots of 34 ford stuff and 3 40's cabs and lots of other traditional stuff like a Lasalle trans set up for 50's olds engine. But you have to...
I was there in Denver 1994 to see you and others working on it at the motel and then race it at Bandimere. I was amazed a kid would be into old...
I had my model A gasser on the trailer towing to the 2011 dragweek and stopped in Amarillo truck stop to fill up my truck at 7 am. A 31 ford vicky...
My car has 3.55's and I've run hotrod drag week 2 yrs in a row and ran a best of 10.79. So you are telling me my car is BOGUS. :p This is just a...
Cool truck. I'm building a diamond T coe.
You have a good start on that coupe. Keep it up and put fenders on it.
Build a 1" tube frame skeleton welded to the rockers and lay sheetmetal or alum over it and build a round or square trans/driveshaft tunnel. Bolt...
I have 2 rambler american 2door late 50's round bodys that you could pick from, or both if you want. PM me if interested.
I give anyone credit for getting out on the track and running hard. These old cars aren't aerodynamic nose up or down and most run way faster than...
That is looking good so far. I stretched my frame 5 inches and moved my firewall back 4". Its my avatar.
I've scraped better stuff then that.
I love the way the car looks now, with the red wheels.
You have to be old redneck to know those expressions, and yes I know them.
There was a new one this year. It was an early Scotty Fenn Chassis Research flathead slingshot. It didnt run nitro like the rest, but still...
Welcome from Lubbock Tx. Track roadsters with flatties are cool.
Hotrod Ron here on the board built a 32 5 window coupe out of lots of pieces and drives it everywhere. If he can do it, you can too.
I have a 40 frame if you need it, reasonable. And I have a friend that has doors I sold him that could be bought.
<<<<<< This one did hotrod drag week last year driving over 1400 miles at 70 mph getting 12 mpg pulling a trailer and ran a best of 11.68. The...
Looking at the frame, its a 42/47 ford 1/2 ton.
I'm in Lubbock(Lowbuck) as well and have a 30 model A gasser. I'd like to trade BS stories with you sometime. Welcome
Run the teardrop, it just looks good. You can raise the stock front susp without changing it out for the nose high look. Or get a speedway motors...
I'm going and entering the customized 51 ford made into 2 seater roadster we ran in hotrod dragweek.
Its in limbo right now due to lawsuit. Once its settled, it will be worked on again. Cant say anymore about it right now though.
I'll be there with a 51 ford made into a custom 2 seater roadster. We took it on hotrod dragweek too. From there its going to Grandnational...
I'm with falcon on this.
I've enjoyed and read every post here. It has helped me kinda make out what I wanna do to my 65 comet hardtop. It's going to be an AWB car with...
