Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

Still like a well done bobber truck! Especially if the box is actually useable.

 

He is from Denmark.I took these pics in Sweden 2019

 

There's a Thread on this elusive Hybrid...

@Stogy -Thanks for that link, I hadn't seen it

 

Thanks for the extra details and pics @j hansen...those early 30 mopars make for great Hotrods...always liked that Highboy...

 

Bit of a Trendsetter that coupe is for a stance that is very popular in Hotrod circles...always liked this all business strip ripper...

...in searching for material to share I have found quite often it is often shared in Memorials/Obituaries such as this one...Unfortunately this is the Highest resolution I could find of this fella by the name of Don Cox of MO in better times...may he rest in peace...

That looks like a proper "Jalopy" type hot rod. mismatched radiator, pipe bumper, no windshield, etc. I'd love something like that.

 

He was having a blast I'm sure...and you're right Cat, many times there were things done that influenced the Culture and the Jalopy Racers are a huge spoke in that wheel...

...of course it's a Jalopy Hotrod...or Speedster Hop up...maybe V8 powered, probably sounded awesome...

...Hamber @lurker mick has certainly done the Vintage Hotrod/Custom Walk...this is like premium fuel for late perhaps, early 50s-60s build and nothing beats eyes on History...my focus at the time was Breastfeeding...

You already were out of High school...

Mick what are the wheel covers...and were they 16 or 15"?

This is from Ganlöse dirt track in Denmark,driver Morian Hansen.
Maybe a relative of mine

 

To me, this is an example of a waste of time, effort, and money.

 

Did anyone else notice the shortened rear body ?

 

What a shame of an iconic hot rod.

 

Many thanks to Jack Rosen for bringing the car back to it's former glory.

 

Ingenuity in action.

 

It's different, but I like it. It appears to be created from a 1928-29 Ford body.

 

I'm not so sure it was...yes it is a highly contested departure from a revered Hotrod that wore many faces over years with this being one of its last...Jim had done the walk without a doubt and had visions beyond many...it certainly is inspired by Hamb standards despite being a late 60s or was it early 70s...

You were around for its many faces I was late to the party...

Too many here and fitting to the Hamb focus the ambience of vintage Hotrod was lost and departing by the mid 60s...and Jim was still reaching back to then with this iteration...

I also think its leaning towards a Showrod and again by the mid 60s they were getting more outlandish...

 

I did...just a bit eh!......and the possibility it was that Dry Lakes modified I shared previous even better...

 

Too cool...thanks for connecting some dots J...and yes, it's a small world sometimes...
Hope he made it through that hell that it was....

 

A lot happened to the youth culture about that time. We started listening to English music, dressing in strange ways, getting political, smoking Marry Jane, and believing there was such a thing as free love. It is no wonder hot rodding showed the effects. But we're back! Sorta'?

HERO.

 

I found out how true that adage is during my divorce. Not only is love not free but you can end up making sizable monthly payments for it.

 

28/29 shell is always more attractive on a hot rod even if it's a 31 IMO

 

At least back in the '60s a little penicillin took care of most of the problems.

 

Nice!

 

Mopar ?
