Full hood on the way.

 

Someone had emailed me about my modified a few posts up....and yes thats where sloppyseconds came from.

 

Mine.





Norton

 

A couple I used to own .....

 

Several years ago there was a kit produced by a company called "Real Hot Rods". Rod & Custom magazine did a series of articles on building this one.





This one was featured in Street Rodder:



I saw this one at the L.A. Roadster show in '05:





And this is ours, that's been seen on here many times:



To the best of my knowledge, the company only sold 18 of these kits, of which, ours is number nine. I have seen three in person, (counting ours) and four more in photos.

Also ours is the only one that was built with something other than a small block Chevy. (Ous is 8BA powered)

 

BTTT for an incredible thread! Had a single seat modified rolling around in my head for a while now.... Inspirational...

 

Man, I love this one!

Mine has changed a little since the above pictures.

 

Here's mine.

As it's been seen before...










Lying in wait...


Hmmm...








Matt likes to drive cars.


Gonna be this...

 

I think it looks much better like this.... then take the other body and build another frame for it and get it going as well!

 

Another Wisconsin style Modified! Notice the same windshield....


Yes, the headlights turn too!



Future project! Photoshopped hood and belly pan

 

Drooling on the keyboard! Modifieds are cool. All I have so far is a cowl but one day I will buid a 31 A model modified! Great thread!

 

the guy who owned that little venture is here on the HAMB (but then who IS'NT on the hAMB these days. LOL). he goes by FASI.

 

should be pretty F'n rad homo. now get off your ass and get to it... the Starliner is done, SEMA is over, NOW GET TO IT!!!

 

One more event this weekend, then I'll have time. Well in between the winter shows I guess. Matt will make sure we move it along.

 

A couple of months ago I was shopping for a lowrider kustom. I came across this car on eBay and fell in love with it. Threw a bid at it and ended up as the new owner. I gotta believe that this thread had a lot to do with that.

 

Sweet! Can we see more? Under the hood?

 

Here's a few pics of my project. I bought the body sixteen months ago and have along way to go!

I'm just sitting here waiting for spring!

Thanks for the thread!

Matt

 

Great ride Hygear!
Any interior shots?

I need to get back to work on my '27.


Norton

 

Yes, but stay tuned! I'll be posting pics of the build in the future! I'll let ya know!

I like your cool ride, 27kid, great tastes! I was going to ask, what's your tire and rim sizes?

Matt

 

I love both of these cars. The one pic is from an issue in Rolls & Pleats, the other is from Bonneville this year.

 

before...

 

That car has an Renault Gordini motor, I believe only one of three in the world. Bad ass car, and a real cool guy.

 

Perhaps something more basic than this can ( will ? ) be done as this will require good metal shaping skills. I've shown ( in grey ) a side saddle fuel / oil tank. This is to get C.O.Gravity down. I'd want a poly/rubber bladder in these- would be tricky. In meantime hang tank out back in traditional manner.
It's more a bucket than mod but can't stop thinking of Joe Vadala's 'A' in Custom Rodder (Aust. ) around issue 29 1975.

 

your welcome. ...i'e still done nothing more than collect parts. thats ok. got enough projects partialy completed
