POST Your Definition of "Hot Rod" Pic

HotRod

 

New one from around here... I love this car.


another local car


Hot Rod elephant...

 

A nostaligic Hot rod IMO

 

A better shot of this Badas$$ sumbitch...!

 

I was in love with this car in high school!!!!

 

My type of hot rod!!!!

 

I liked Coles car... the "554" coupe but the 15oz Coupe is still the one that excites my inner most being... sounds weird but I'd never like to see the 15oz restored... just maintained in it's controlled state of decay.

As Little Wing said, it depends a lot upon your age (when you were growing up). My grandson refers to my '69 Camaro (I've owned it for almost 40 years, now) as Grandad's Hot Rod Camaro. It's all relative, which is the point of this tread - what photo of a car defines "hot rod" for you. For me, it's a fenderless Hiboy coupe - such as my old Model A or my current '34 Ford 5 window project.

 

and does anyone know what steering box/setup this is?

 

Looks like a Schroeder steering box to me.

 

just choose one from the first pic..

or anything thats been in or around chris ito

 

Very true, and geography. My dad graduated high school in 1965, and spent a lot of time in Michigan. The common hot rod of that era to him was a tri-five Chevy.

My 3-year-old daughter calls my ‘68 Camaro a hot rod. Anything with a loud exhaust or flames is a hot rod to her.

I must have built this model 20 times in the early 60's. For me, this says hot rod

 

Here is five that come to mind...

Doc Parson’s



B-Scott’s



Larry Rohlers has to be one of the Baddest 32’s ever..



Ron Myers



Krobe’s

 

Correctomundo. To me that is a stock production car. A very nice one, but a stock production car none the less.

 

This! This screams hot rod to me.

 

I'm not much for stereotypes and realize that defining what a Hot Rod is is purely subjective, but while scrolling through this thread my eyes got a little glassy when I spotted Rolf's coupe... again... and the Flamingos I Only Have Eyes For You started playing in my head. I don't even like red.

Do-bop-shoo-bop...

Do-bop-shoo-bop...

Do-bop-shoo-bop...

 

That's a VERY COOL song!

 

Heres my view of a hot rod it dosent have to cost 25,000

 

well it aint a hiboy roadster but i think it may pass

 

This is a Hot Rod....IMHO.

Holy fuck! This car rules! So much cooler than the overfinished "traditional" cars of today....this things got it going on man....

 

When I think 'hot rod', something like this pops into my head...



Or maybe this (minus the SBC)...

The basic ingredients may vary somewhat, but this is pretty much the gist.

I like what Travis and his Dad built.



As well as what Matt and his Dad built.



Digging this one alot.

 

Agreed!!! Fuckin' perfect!!!
