Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Isn’t there a thread on here about box vans?

 

I think I was the first one to mention it. I didn't vociferously object to it, I didn't really care one way or the other. I merely question how anyone could consider that hot rod material.
Now I will go before someone gets bent out of shape and calls this a facebook post...
Back to rods & customs........

 

...better not say that about the Acme van guys from out in the northwest,...

 

The Step Van thread was moved to a social forum a couple years ago where nobody can find it and has fallen flat on it's nose. Last post was Christmas of last year. It was one of my personal favorites and it is basically gone.

The Vintage Trophy Girls Thread isn't about traditional hot rods or customs.

 

I think this whole forum is pretty well "streamlined" as gwhite super moderator calls it. Perhaps, if someone sees a thread they don't care for, or a post they don't like in a thread that they do... maybe it would be okay to just skip over it and let others enjoy.
Traditional hot rods didn't have disc brakes, 5 speed transmissions or air bags, but a very large number of those things get overlooked and nobody says anything about it. If the theme of this forum was strictly adhered to, there would only be a few dozen threads available.

 

Just bought a new shovel and pick .....
Not sure how long they’ve been there but took a 49 plate off the A.

Just a few I have run across, saved the unibody

 

I've seen cars built from worse than that '28-'29 A Coupe that Rusty Bullet posted. Even if one has to come up with another right rear quarter, what 's visible looks pretty solid. A lot of guys would like to get their hands on that cowl and driver's side door. The floor pan looks pretty solid where the seat riser goes. A friend of mine in Anniston AL built a nice '27 Model T roadster pickup from the front half of a touring car he dug out of a ravine in Alabama. It was a lot rougher than the '28-'29 A coupe in the picture.

 

Looks like those new tools will get a workout!

 

This one may take a little longer to dig out.
What is it

I'm going to go out on a "limb" and say Chevy since there seems to be a lot of wood in it.

 

Was thinking the same and 36. JW

 

Answer is usually Dodge Brothers

I hope the shovel and pick are pre '65.

 

I posted this on fordbarn, but thought it would be appropriate here as well. Actually it is for sale. LOL..
Nice heavy duty truck oil pan.

 

RustyBullet,

That looks like a 33-34 Chevrolet body

 

...most of the last stuff posted needs to be saved.

 

The rear fender looks like a 34 Chevy Master. It easy to tell a 34 Master fender from a 34 - 35 Standard Chevrolet fender. The bolts on the Master rear fender are vertical, while the Standard's bolts are horizontal.

Here's a photo of a 34 Master fender, and my 34 Master coupe.

 

1965 OPEL KADETT

 

Thanks for the help fellas. Both will be saved and yes dug out by H.A.M.B. friendly tools.

RustyBullet,

If you dig those cars out please document the dig and share the photos with us on the HAMB. Everybody loves to watch a treasure hunt!

trophy girls and especially ones like Linda with huge hooters is very traditional.

 

And if you can somehow use a hippo pedal boat, so much the better.

Roots and tree limbs don't count

 

Where is this one. I have to have it!

Like George Washington's hatchet, the blade has been changed twice and the handle once but it's all original

 

Rusty Bullet, I’d help dig those out if I were closer, but then that A coupe might end up ‘missing ‘ while you weren’t looking....
