Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

^^^WTF^^^

 

No homo there! Looks like a 216 Chevy six. Love it!

 

Tell yah a little story about a man named Jed...well it reminds me of a hillbilly creation in many ways...the swoopy windshield for one...it is well put together though...they even pinstriped the frame...I'm surprised of the untidiness of the wiring but sometimes it's giving the finger to conforming...

@anthony myrick, I get to drive it after you...

 

I may have a ‘27 roadster body too… hmmm.

 

Yes your's is earlier...I missed that...

You have a barn full of goodies even better...

 

...Great set of images for this Thread...

Diversity, purpose built, aesthetically off...and what's lurking in the background of course...

...Shared by Hamber @Ron Kellogg...contrasted by another and as noted by another Hamber quite the frame work to keep chassis components stock and get things down...

Ron may have said who took these pics but I'm not sure...it may have been himself...no matter he had only 14 posts here...talk about leaving a mark...

It still exists...I might be inclined to bring it back...but not my decision...it's still a Hotrod...do read the story and see more pics at the link above...I wouldn't be surprised if the owner is a Hamber...

I'd like to see more of the Ford F1. It is one thing to use oddball pieces. It is another thing to make them look like they belong.

 

I think it was shared here a while back and I searched for more and came up dry...One pic wonders I call them...

I'll give it another shot...

...this was the former Pierson Coupe...with an engine that was readied for use in it but it never happened...by the story...It was a Caddy, with a cam over each head...

Quoted below from the story...

"Cobbs would hang onto the whole, historical setup for the rest of his life. His family sold the complete engine to collector Ralph Whitworth, who displayed it for several years in the office of his stillborn museum in Winnemucca, Nevada. Its whereabouts since Whitworth's 2016 death are unknown."

...file says GMC with 5 carbs...looks Hotrod to me but not sure what it is...it was linked to an Edsel story....hmmm...ok got the right connection...one for @Six Ball...I believe his is older...not by much...I'd like to see the pipes sticking out of the hood...


​

 

...another shot without the tether...

Howard, McGurk and probably others made 5 x 2 manifolds for GMCs the four pipes is right since the middle 4 were Siamese ports. It looks like a circle track car to me. I'd like to see & hear it on a dirt 1/4 mile oval.

 

Was without a doubt a busy place of action with the smell of fuel and noise permeating the air...

Nothing in the article expanded on the image...other then them big sixes hauled...

Stogy, it was a pair of 1/4 mile runs against a friends '54 Chevy with a recently installed 270 GMC junk yard transplant that made an Inliner out of me. I was driving a '38 Ford coupe with what I thought was a pretty hot flathead. I won but not by enough against a stock six. After he added a cam, a few more carbs and duel exhaust I avoided him.

 

You make me think about the 39 Chev Coupe or 2dr I dream about on occasion...a hot six would be a very fitting mill...

A friend in our Car Group this way has a 2x2 hopped six in his Fleetside...yepp, that's what I'd do...

 

...can a Custom be a Hotrod...

...take off the skirts and covers and blow away the competition...good enough for me...

The young'n in this pic with Doug Rice's Hybrid of sorts is Hamber @CW's40TPU

...too cool for school that is...

...Hambing it up...crazy hoodlums...oh to be young in those days eh...

Hamber @CW's40TPU has had quite the exposure to the greatness this Site represents...a prime example of the diversity of Hotrodding...what a stunning mix of parts...his Dad and Uncle...wow...and glad the Hambing was just a laugh...

...this is a nicely done inspiration to a time many moons ago...It's for sale here. I like this pic in particular as it has period looking rubber...





https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/bonneville-style-chopped-30-ford.929053/

...it's a neat Hotrod...it reminds me of a mix between the Chrisman, Pierson and Winfield Coupes...

...Just an opinion...I believe this is a pretty authentic inspired Hotrod...it's quite well detailed and put together. The stretch and canted shell although criticized many times were things that were done back in the day so like everything I appreciate the diversity warts and all...but to me there's not any warts on this one...
