Items used as a body that didnt start life as one

Id like to go shopping with this.

 

A few strange ones...

Slonaker

 

A friend of mine had a couple of license plates welded into the floor of his 64 chevy. We were pretty surprised to find those in there.

 

Ok, this is how sick of a hot rod mind I have. Last week when they showed the Amish funerals and they were all riding in their cleaned and polished horse drawn buggies and carriages all I could think of was how cool a rod one of those would make!
Not trying to make light of that horrible tragedy, but that's what popped in my head when watching it.

 

I think this belongs to thirdyfivepickup

It's nice, but not as nice as mine. (Yes, I am the hobo, in case you were wondering.)

I ride the best, 'cuz I come from the WEST!

 

remember james bondes desk.complete with machine guns

 

Saw one of these at Hershey about 10 years ago.

 

I see it all the time on the road driving..it is an ol euclid beach park ride..it looks really sweet he drives it standing up kinda like a boat or something..really a sight to see driving down the road with just a bunch of random people...plus its a piece of local history

I see a lot of high school kids trying to make race cars out of hondas

 

dude had the same thought about two weeks ago...man a cab over project buggy...someone draw a pic

 

Man, I've had a woody for the Boot Hill Express for 30 years. I love that car.

Doc.

 

This would be exactly opposite of what the post is about, but a local******** has a rather nice and solid Model A tudor sedan body on what looks to be leftovers of a trike cycle. It's a horrid abberation of perfectly good hotrod parts!

I never manage to have the camera with me when I see him, but I swear I'm going to beat the***** outta him and steal the body and put it to good actual use.

 

Now I am wondering what one of my kayaks would look like with a turbo banger and a frame under it...hmmm

 

that cart belongs to food city grocery chain.it,s at thhe food city 500 at bristol speedway every aug.

 

theres an aussie guy over here that used a fridge door fron a 60's kelvenator as the roof for his 27 chev pickup. hes hand made almost everthing on the car check out Klassik 100 on hotrodders .com galleries
we didnt get closed pickups they were roadster pickups in 26, 27
the big trucks were C cabs

 

That's the MOXIE promotional car. It was at Clark's Trading Post Museum in Lincoln NH several years ago. May still be there along with some really classic cars a motorcycles. Good take.

 

i tried to get someone to turn my early 50s crosley fridge into a hotrod. haha no one went for it.

 

I rember seeing a large house oil tank turned into a rod way back in the 60s brush might know of it it was from Toronto.

 

Keep them comming guys, anyone got picks of the amusment rides?

 

my brother in law wants to build a giant picknik table 4x4 454 with hot tub to thake to 4x4 events and drunken camping @ the races(ie nhra @ brainerd)

 

This stuff is just wrong on so many levels ( but I do like the Boot Hill Express )

 

How about his one ??

This is what I thought of when I saw a recent thread called "The Wedding Car"!(or was there a single bed car?)

 

There was plans printed in Hot Rod Mechanix a decade or so back on using a severely narrowed pick up box to make a single seat runabout.

You have got to like the coffin contraption. When your passenger dies of embarassment, you can slam the lid down and drop him in a hole.
