Hot Rods Beater gasser looking thingy

Looks about ready! LOL Gary

 

Id hot glue this back together first

 

Love that front axle!
@Tuck check that out

 

Once proud...

 

I’d drive it

 

Anthony how do you find all these cars and parts? You must have an unlimited source of people calling in tips! Keep it coming

 

some one had a lot of fun with that... I love it when the budget junkyard cars put the wallet racers on the trailer...

 

Thats a old show rod beam axle .

 

No.

they pop up on my FB marketplace.


The more obscure crap you look up the algorithm must figure out the crap you like to look at

 

I'll bet those holes in the front frame added at least 10 MPH to the top end.

I know more than one guy running them on the street like that or very similar!

 

This is close to me and the guy that's selling the car is well known in the Upstate of South Carolina.

Did they angle-step the front frame rails to keep it from being too nose-high? If so, why the enormous step-down mount for the front spring? Was the drag link and left wishbone purposely bent like that and run like that, or is that damage? Also, they drilled out the trunk lid and then filled each hole back in?! Is the I-beam slotted the whole width?

There's so much to unpack here.

 

I hope it was not very fast

 

Poor 37, I dig those cars

 

He’s got a early 60s f100 I’d like to cruise.

 

They make killer tsildraggers and low riders

 

Nice clam shell Rivvy in the background.

 

I’ll get flamed here, but I’m not a big fan of those

 

I saw one the other day on the street, sort of a butternut yellow with buick 5 spokes. Looked nice, sounded a bit ratty like the glass packs where toasted. Pretty nice cars inside and nail head power...I'd drive it.

 

Dang. Let's not use a straight edge to lay out those holes.

 

Wavy air distribution...fast, fast, fast...it also may be a clue to the Fabricator/s age...or that alcohol or other substances were involved...

 

Perhaps the builder fluted the holes to play a lilt at speed like de camptown races.

 

Why is sanding off half the paint, then giving up always job number one?

 

Anthony, if you are referring to that '63 unibody it has the straightest body I have ever seen on this type of truck. HRP

 

It's likely there are many other details that lead to project lag, some very unfortunate I'd imagine. I certainly could see the negativity increasing though if it was a youngun at home with his first car as the patchwork look of these cars is many times not very appealing to ma and pa.

 

That truck is nice
