Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

That one's extra nice. Can anyone tell me if it's scaled down in size (*sectioned and narrowed* besides chopped and channeled)? It looks smaller than others.

 

Very, very uniquely period cool @flyin flattie right down to the Jackstands...Thanks for the link and wow!!, I have to check your Thread out...2022 is delivering BIGTIME!!...Don't be shy about sharing your craftsmanship here as you move along as what your doing is very fitting to the theme of this Thread...
​

 

I think the Wheelbase, color, the extended Grill Shell distance between the cowl and shell along with the other details you mentioned not only put it in a league of its own, they play with perception of the bodysize...I don't believe its sectioned or smaller...really a stunning Hotrod and I see the Lil horsey on the front tire...That Hotrod's about as Cowboy as I'd ever be...

 

I am stoked to check both these builds out as they are relevant to my interests!

The 226 does not get much love despite having a section for hop-up in California Bill's Ford Speed Manual, 1952 Edition. Last year I was sniffing around buying a 47 sedan with this engine and had hopes of keeping the inline flatty and fiving it a bit of grunt.

 

Just spreading the Gospel as I dig it up...the diversity of go fast is going to keep my love of Hotrod well invested till Emeratis wins the race...

With so much interest in the 4s it's really not a surprise some saw 2 extra pistons as good potential for winning races too...

I certainly appreciate you sharing the history in just that with it being a focus of tech in the many magazines which aided the evolution we revere today...

...I was snooping for potential images of a recently unearthed Time Capsule T in a couple of Threads by Hamber @woodiemike the Late Hamber Rockerhead that are right up there with the best of the best and while there were no hits it was visually rewarding and this caught my eye as a great candidate for this Thread...

...this is an Ranger engined racer that sported a Deuce shell in it's historic journey and this Tracknose probably slicked its ETA a little...I believe it to be the Jot Horne racer...

A truly stunning build at that...

147mph and 5th place was noted in this configuration...

...Discussion and debate of how it was back in the day was elevated and passionate as many times it can be here at the link above but this incredible capture above highlights a point I was trying to make regarding what Hambers choose to do regarding ride appearances...

It is many times argued and a preference to many today including the older guard that rides unless fully finished and painted don't reflect the reality of the Yesteryear...

I opinioned that many here choose to live in a moment in a Hotrods evolution from unfinished to finished...this clearly highlights what I was trying to say...

This decorated Hotrod captured by a father of and shared by one of our own may have never made the Magazines or even saw final paint but it was obviously a moment this Hotrodder settled for at the time...and there's absolutely no reason one can't relive this moment as their choice of how they want to experience past excellence for the duration of ownership of their ride...

Interestingly I had inadvertently Ignored this Hamber which was absolutely an accidental clic as I don't Ignore anyone...but I found his Dads pics some of the most incredible I have ever seen here...

I am forever thankful and honored to be witness to the greatness so many have shared here...

Thank you Hambers...

One of my favorites! That is a Ford flathead six. Running with the tow bar mounted? A potential pogo stick.
