Hot Rods I Love Lake Modifieds & Track T's

Thommyknocker that # 7 car is sweet.

 

Nice one Denis

 

Mine.

 

29 Modified Scratch built

 

The two previous T- Lake Modifieds are from a April 2012 issue of Rod & Custom. There were several nice ones in there.

 

Here are my past and present Modifieds!

Here's mine.....grille shell is made from a cockshutt tractor fuel tank turned upside down. .

 

C'mon you guys, I know you have more pictures of these cars. You're killin' us here, start sharing.

 

Looks great! anymore pics of this one?

 

Here ya go.

 

The "Strode Special" track "T".....gotta love it!

 

Now you guys are making me sick......I have a cowl , frame and engine that I would have to keep a hood on it.....but looks like thy would be a ton of fun.

 

As requested, but with my 36.

 

Years ago I sold a 1923 Franklin hood and grille to a guy who planned on using it on a T roadster, looks a lot like your tractor tank based grille. Bob

 

Found some more on the internet.

 

Actually, track roadsters and modifieds are two different animals. THIS is a "track T".

 

Zipper Lakester built in 1999

 

My favorite. Dan Webb's recreation of the Phil Remington car.

 

Bump!

 

Help me out here, technically what's the difference between a Modified and a T-bucket, or a T track roadster?

 

Any could be the other, and each could be all.

 

I wasn't there then, but from looking at a lot of photos of the originals, I would guess that many of them were run in multiple venues.
If I was a young man in the 30's, 40's or early 50's and my buddies and I had built a hot rod out of whatever we could scare up plus a lot of labor I'd have raced it anyplace they'd let me. If there were rules I'd have met them for dirt or salt or asphalt. Let's go racin' man!

 

I've been trying to figure out what's between the driver's elbows and the steering wheel in this picture. Finally decided it must be his knees.

 

That is Seth Hammond, he got into Land Speed Racing later on, both he and his wife have 300MPH Club hats. Bob
