Hot Rods The 60 year history of a little California Hot Rod

hey @Ryan ...this pic is on your Hot Rod Forum Guidelines page. Got any info on it or more pics?

 

^Build it!.....just don't put one of those wood floors 6" down from the top of the box!
Leave the box bottom open, and build a luggage rack type structure in there to hold shit.

 

Is that "T" sitting on a 32 frame? Just wondering!

 

yep

 

late 40s T on '32

 

Here's a later photo of that car.

 

holy shit jimmy...how the hell did you find that...killer pickemup...and on deuce rails!

 

I found the image here on the H.A.M.B. but I can't remember what thread it was on. I remember seeing the car in this form back in the day in a magazine (probably Rod & Custom) and I always liked it.

 

Larry, that Mercedes 300SL looks familiar- didn't Gene Winfield do one? With the rpu sitting right next to it, I wonder if he had anything to do with the repaint/update on the rpu?

 

Larry Watson painted quite a few gullwings back in the day

 

Man, I just LOVE that look with the cycle fenders on the front and 26/27 t fenders on the back! Can't get enough of that!

 

Larry are you rethinking 32 Rails?????????????? again

 

yes...and I got a buddy coming over tonight to help me decide...he's done several T's on deuce rails...the '32 rails seem to be the easiest route, and I'll have the '32 wheelbase in my favor

 

A bit off track, but I remember seeing one covered in flames, may have been Watson, but I recall something about Von Dutch doing one.
I can just see the hoi polloi cringe while uttering "OH HOW GAUCHE"!

 

I think the flamed one was Von Dutch. Funny, I really like gull-wings, but when I looked at that photo, I didn't even notice it! All I could see was that RP!

 

Larry, do the floor like the Frank Mack 27......with the transmission and torque tube in the cockpit.

 

I've said this on here before, but MAN, I love the steering wheel in the Mack car!

 

That Mack car is something. I like.
just a thought...how is 2pedalLarry going to hook up an automatic to a torque tube

 

SHHHHHHHH
Easy there, Larry's kinda touchy on the subject

 

And never bring up haircuts!

 

That is a nice looking wheel. What's it from?

 

IIRC, he made it.

 

here you go...

That looks like the inside of a 1930's two man INDY car, thanks for posting it!. Note the torque tube is turned 90% to give the speedo cable an easy shot. Is this car on '32 rails? Bob

 

I suspected that and thought that it might get me a 'bite me' reply.
I'm wondering if we might start a pool on what frame it winds up on. He can't get the 32 out of his system and there are some cool examples. I bet we know soon...or not
Larry

 

I think Larry is patiently waiting through a haircut to bite you

 

Excellent thread, I'll be parking a 1929 (titled) Ford T Bucket truck in my garage in the morning. This car was featured in a 1975 Issue of "Rod Action" and comes with the original magazine! I'll post pics in another thread. Can't wait to read more of this thread.

 

I'm thinkin' youz guys have forgotten I still have the Guido Bros on speed dial...capish

 

I who is the Guido Bros? And Firm that surplice women with vibrators or the rivals of Super Mario Bros. Biggest competetors in plumbing lol

I'm overseas and there by semi untuouchable B-)

 

Brynk,

The Guido Bros. are some of our finest, upstanding Italian American immigrants, hailing originally from the island of Sicily....in other words, their gangsters who specialize in "enforcement"! ;-D Von Dutch flamed Earl Bruce's Mercedes 300 SLC gullwing.
