Roy -

That is cool. Is that the car that Chrisman's have now?

Have you started on the replica? I would love to see pics under construction. That is a project that I have had in my mind lately.

Yea it became "The Chrisman Car" I have been gathering parts for mine, the 1923 Franklin front axle and steering were harder than hell to find, I still need a right front spindle if ya can help me find one. Who is the metal man that you know?? I come from an old Midget, Sprint Car, Champ Dirt Car backround.

Lolife,thanx dude.That lil car is kill.I'd like to build one like it,got a lil Iron Duke sittin in my shop with a 4speed.Would be perfect I think.Got any more pics.Or do you know what month/year Rod Action?
Racer5c,Arts car is so kewl.I guess you've talked to him bout what your doing?Hes a great guy,prolly help you out too.....Shiny

 

Shiny,it's Nov.'95 Street Rod Action.I'm on the run now,but later I can scan & email it if you'd like? Also need to find the color centerspread that is part of the article.

 

has anyone on here got a pic of the Bo Jones car? i always thought that he was the one responsible for "bringing back" the modified style.

 

There are shots of the Bo Jones modified built in the late 60's on Daniel Strohl's site linked earlier in this thread. Look on page 3 of the gallery. I agree Jones started this trend. He built a second example much later.

 

anyone know what kinda gastank these guys run on there modifieds????..those cylinder type gastanks???and does anyone have one they are looking to part with...

 

hope you all dont mind me snatching these photos for whenever I get the modifieds section of the site up and running again. it's been static while I figure out a way to create a more dynamic, easy-to-use interface and while I redesign the entire site. I'll attribute the photos, naturally.
direct link to the modifieds section, btw, is http://danielstrohl.com/modifieds.asp

I'd also like to know about those gas tanks.. I needs one for my modified project...

 

Modet T gas tanks were oval and round. Is this what you want?

This picture was taken at the Big 3 swapmeat in San Diego... Really dig the gastank.

 

here is my tank bought at auto jomble

 

Alex's T

 

One more ,,,,,,,,

 

HRP - how in the hell did he fit in there??? he looks really uncomfortable.

Here is a mock up pic of my pile o parts aka DOGG Bucket

 

One of one from the archives

Yes exactly... Anyone repopping these or do i have to hit the scrap...er...swap meet?

(Normally I would just get an old one without hesitation, but a gas tank is one of those things that needs to be solid for peace of mind. Not that much of the repop stuff out there is anything to write home about.)

 

Really dig Alex's green T, especially the Brooklands windscreen but I can't figure out why he looks so cramped up in there. There's quite a bit more room in a 27 than in the typical 23-25 bucket. In any case it is outstandingly cool.

 

Dixie Dog. Is the body on your rig one of those Fatbucket setups or did you whip that up yourself? Looks nice & roomy.

 

HRP, thats crazy...

Thats why i got extra leg room....


Im a big SOB, 6 4' 200...

 

I am pretty sure they are repopping the T gas tanks. They are a dime a dozen at Hershey.
Clark

 

sowhat,

it that's the case would you pick me up a couple of dozen next time you go? i'll send you a quarter and you can keep the change.

 

Atch ..I got mine for $5 and there were plenty more.

I traded that modified to Terry bout a year ago. He made it run, had some fun with it and has sold it...

 

Darwin - I got that bucket off Draglinks (made him itch), it's made by Dave Koorey (sp) outside of Tampa. Thats why I went with it was for the room, I fit in it like a sausage but I am not sitting on top of it.
I was going to run that Buick 350 but it was quite a bit wider than the SBC setup I got sitting in the corner.

Anyone have any more pictures or info on this bad ass little hot rod??
Or any rides built similar?

 

A neat car with a neat history!

Model A engine by 1936

Owned by Jack Harvey in '38, different banger, Model A rear

i dont know if you can call this a true modified but it is about the same size

 

Also you might want to do a search. This topic has come up before and always gets a lot of good response.
