If money wasn't an issue, wot kind of rod would you build?

A 1932 Chevy Coupe................with a 283 SBC and 3 Deuces.

 

Pre-War '28 ''A'' Roadster,Deuce frame,Pump in head Flathead,Kelsey wires and a Hallock Windsheild.

 

Me too, Caddy or Olds powered ...

 

I would finally be able to get a set of astro supremes for the van lol

 

Restify a '30's Art Deco car. To outright buy a finished car: the non trad. '55 Chev of Scott Sullivan's. Cheese Wiz rule's my dream's baby.

 

as far as a finished car.......I would have Gary Howard build me a Riviera or talk Jimmy Vaughn into letting me get my picture taken next to his and pretend it was mine

 

I would a mild custom 1950 Buick Sedanette...

 

I would get a Hudson and finish my Chevy.

 

I would try to buy DREADMANS coupe. I love that car.

 

I would find the 59 chevy wagon my dad had when I was a kid. He sold it because money was an issue. Its the car that started my love for cars. Id fix it the way he wanted it and give it back to him.

 

I would build an exact replica of the Stone, Woods, and Cook 41 Willys Gasser, and buy Ed Roth's Beatnik Bandit!

 

So you're in Northern CA and Jones'n for a 65 Comet? Then you oughta give Craig Cook, here in Santa Rosa, a call. Every locale has someone who's the local horder and guru of certain make and model cars......Craig is the local 64-65 Falcon/Comet guy. If he doesn't have one, he'll know where there is one.

Sorry, I don't have his phone number, but now that you've got his name, I'll leave the rest of the search up to you.
You're welcome........
Craig

 

My ideal car, and one I am doing the basic design work for right now is a '27 Track T with substantial suspension modifications. I want to base it off a stock frame but a formula style fully independent push rod front suspension with shocks/springs mounted inline with the frame. Likewise a fully independent rear, with both being made out of oval "aero" tubing. Powered by a mild '48 flathead, one of my "out there" ideas is a direct injection flathead and the more I look into it I think its more a possibility. For the interior bomber seats wrapped in the now available rawlings baseball glove leather. I would like a car that I can put my engineering skills into, take it to the show, and then to the local autocross or track day for shits and giggles. I have one of those Moleskine notebooks thats great for capturing those "ah-ha" moments before you forget about your latest idea, highly recomended...

 

I'd buy Henrietta the '38 Ford pickup a complete new bed from Mack Hils, then send Henrietta along with Ozelle the '55 Ford over to my brother in law in Anniston AL to get all the body work really nice on both of them before treating both to good paint jobs. Then buy another old truck to work on with my 10 year old grandson. Maybe a KB series International, always wanted one of those.

 

I'd build the '37 pickup I'm building now, just to a higher degree. But, of course, the car would become a pain in the ass for me if it was too nice, so....

Then, a full fendered '32 sedan, magnesium 5 spokes, candy, flaked fenders....

 

36 3 hole!!

 

A big Mercury 63 with a souped up cammer, and a 36 Ford coupe with a cammer, and a 55 twodoor belair with a cammer, and and and.........

 

I would build the worlds biggest t bucket . Either that or this mopar dodge charger I had in my dream once that had a 757. That would be freaking insane!!

 

Boggles the mind..Custom 56 Lincoln Mark II..62 Corvette Gasser..finish my 48 Cadillac..finish my 34 Pickup with Hemi..take something to Bonneville, 63,64 Riviera? Hemi powered Chrysler Airflow?....

 

36 3 window,slammed,tuck and roll interior,rumble seat,deep deep gloss black,fully blown flathead,fat wide whites and an authentic tommy gun in the front seat. just to be different

 

I would build one of three cars I'm always dreaming about. One would be a 1928-'29 roadster, another would be a 1930-31 coupe, and the last one would be a 1930-31 sedan. They'd all have Flatheads, but each motor would be very differant in the way they were built. The roadster and coupe would be late '40s period correct, but the sedan wouldn't, though it would be traditional and look like it just came out of the '50s. If I had to chose one, I think I'd go with the roadster though.

 

a '32 ford b-400 full fendered car

 

The top of the list would be a 1940 Ford Deluxe coupe. Either Red or black.

 

Hey!.....What are you doing in my money room?.....You have no busines in here.....GET OUT!!!!

 

First i'll need a really really BIG building.

 

The one with the "GREATEST STORY"...!!!!!!!

 

Ditto, but only for the Interstate!

 

I agree with Groucho. And I would finish my '51 AD up first then buy and build every other Hot Rod that my wife and I want.
