Hot Rods 1927 Gowjob.....out of hiding

Love that T. Is that a T spring in the back?

 

I'm 74 now and I remember the older guys who would be in their middle 80's called stripped down cars, Gowjobs. This preceded Hot rod. I've had some of the older guys say that's a pretty Gowjob you got there when looking at my Track Roadster. Alot of people just called them strip downs.

Damm that thing looks so much cooler outside than in the corner.... You Really Got it made!!!

That's slang for dune buggy.

 

Yeah, the place looks slightly different now.

man, im looking at this and looking at this over and over trying desperately to find something i dont like...

it aint there, i love this

 

What a spectacular little car. Was it ever finished. This is very similar to what I am currently building. Very cool!

 

absolutly Fucking Cooool!!!

 

that is one bad ass little roadster! very cool indeed

 

Ha... another coincedince...
I was going to pm you about the "cut down" that was found by a Royalshifter in Fresno...the one featured in HOP
Is that car around? Guessing so ... Pretty cool find there.

 

hot

 

thats sweet!

 

Found another.

 

Dayaaaaam! sweet mark!

 

First off, that car is awesome. It would be hard to get more old timey than that one right there boys.

I beleive it is a contraction of sorts: It did originate from the lakes/'30's.

Think of it like you would say, " That car looks like it can really goooo..... With an extended long "o" sound."

Since this was pre-texting days, it became said like "Gow".

That is how some old timer explained it to me.

Of course, he could be completely full of shit.

 

Oh Man, that's bea-u-tiful.

 

Wow!

 

... that thing is bad ass, very cool !

 

If that car ever gets lower than no.2 on my favorite HAMB car list I want some one to slap me upside the head. It's been no.1 for most of time I've been here. Ocassionally there is something that temporarily catches my eye but this one always crawls back to the top.
If you EVER decide to sell it and don't call/PM me I'll be very disappointed.

Don't look any further. This is what a Hot Rod is!

Gow jobs were the cut down ones and when they souped them up they said that they dinged it up.

 

Well, let's not go overboard.

 

I think that is one of the best looking hot rods I have ever seen. I have been wanting to build that exact car for the last few years.
