I love HOT RODS... check this out

[Tuck]

I've been collecting parts for a couple years for this... this is just a "pile" of parts at the moment...

and its coming to a head... you'll see. I'm not going to get into that right now but... check this out.

This is the moment in time just before the volcano explodes and takes out every city in its path...

I think this car is going to RULE me.

I've got everything now, includeing the front tires "not pictured"

For those who dont know and those who wana... heres my roadster.

Its got real history... although its lost like the ancient inca's...

Thats old purple metalflake and bondo.

The motor came out of a 38 ford roundy round, big port imp heads and that bad ass intake...

Offy adapter with a lasalle trans

mid fiftys poncho rear

titus dropped, tuck drilled 38 axle,
bones and a posies spring.

Finned drums in all four corners.

cheater slicks and ET mags.

33 Commercial Grill, 31 headlights.

I'm too wound up I had to post pics...

[Tuck]

heres a shot of the mill...

[Tuck]

anotha'

[SAVAGE]

That looks like my Grandmas car from 55.. I think you should get a bunch of chicks togeather and start building that thing.. It looks like an awesome setup.

[Tuck]

Thanks titus and crew for working on this... its a modest drop but I dont have much money in this front end and it RULES.

[SAVAGE]

that car is gonna rule. I really need a roadster. Come out here next summer to paso with that!!

[BARNETT]

That thing is dumb and you can't build a car. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Tuck]

I went down to 36-3 Window's (GREGS) and he took care of my machine work this morning...

redrilled the finned drums and turned the rear of the hub to fit the buick drums

THANKS GREG... it ruled, I learned alot today- im comin back down for more of those burgers at the pool hall.

[Roddin28]

[Tuck]

[Rocky]

Lookin good Jeff...I wanna hear that old Hemi come to life.

[Tuck]

thanks guys... ROCKY I can't wait to fire up that hemi, I swear to god...

I wont be able to sleep tonight.

Almost all of the stuff that I bought and pieced together can be traced to a HAMBER.... so take pride all of ya... this truely is a hamb hot rod.

the only thing non hamb related besides the new shit and tires, is the frame. A streetrodder threw it away http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

You're gonna have one helluva slick hot rod...looks like lotsa thought and skill are goin into it. Amazing what can be done when a person doesn't build everything from 2"x3", huh! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[xadamx]

Man, that things gonna rule...you ARE going to be a ruler! For rule...I mean, for real! Seriously, that thing is rule, I mean cool. Keep us posted.

Keep us updated tuck!

[CRAP]

that thing will kick ass if your shoebox is anything to go by.

[side_valve]

SWEET!!

[beatnik]

It always takes time to get the right collection of parts together, especially when you need to do it on the cheap, like most of us. I see the vision and it will rule Tuck.

[Jeff Norwell]

[Fast Elvis]

Hey Tuck.........your patience and hard work is really paying off...........that's one KOOL ride bro!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif.......worthy of the effort!!

[hankcash]

HC

[Tony]

Damn Tuck, thats looking cool!
I can't wait to see it together!!

Tony

[roadstar]

Hmmmm..I've got a bunch of old parts laying around

It's hard to go wrong with a roadster, and a Hemi with 4 carbs, and some cool mag wheels.

Yeah, you should peg the fun meter with that one.

[tokyo]

Tuck.

the words are just starting...

I am jealous..but more happy for you..

have fun this weekend, and get some sleep..seriously

enjoy,
tok

[jalopy43]

Faroutgroovybitchen.... man! Go to it!! post lotsa pix. Glenn

[Django]

Damn, that looks killer!

[SamIyam]

Cool!
The wheels are going to make that car!

I think a 28-9 grille shell would look better though... it would lighten up the front a tad.

Keep on keepin' on!

Sam.

[Dat Dirty Rat]

Really kool holmes...thats the stuff i like to see!

Dirty

[bobbleed]

The history on this car is only begining..........
Give it a week! Hahaha

I can't wait.

[bobbleed]

You know looking at those pics reminds me of another little roadster..........

I'm excited as hell for you Tuck, I've got the Butterflies.

I can't wait till that fucker is running and the TERROR will begin.

DANGER DANGER.

[redpunk]

Wholly Cripes..... That Rules Bro... It loooks alot different than it did when we loaded it in your truck... Man, Im pumped..

[Tuck]

Bleed... yeah... its looking VERY similar! Cant have enough of them around... I think were gonna have to line em up down the back stretch at fiftys next year!

Redpunk thanks again for holding and storeing that body for me bro... It was awesome bringing it home last night in the pickup. As soon as I rolled that slick up along the body it was all over.

not comin off sappy but- I compare this, building a hot rod and everything that goes with it very similar to the feeling I had when I was a little kid and got my first new bike from coast to coast... Red, white and blue, I road that thing around in circles on our front slab for hours!

after we fire it up ill probably drive it around town in circles... haha.

-sam that body, motor and grill are just sittin there, I was gonna move shit around a little more but in the process ripped the stiches outta my leg from a hockey stick accident and fucked up my night of mock-up fun... we'll get it just right.

[Smokin Joe]

tits! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[The Harpoon]

Maybe I am not perceptive enough, but I was wondering what the frame was? 32?

[Kevin Lee]

You Canadians build some of the coolest cars around. Did you hook up something with the guy who builds crazy headers or are you going to have to make them yourself?

[Tuck]

boxed A rails with a rear kickup, the front is going to get z'd or pie cut and lifted, bleed is gonna school me on that-
we'll post pics next week.

grim, still working on that, might have something hooked up with the original guy... otherwise I'll buildem myself!

[KnuckleDragger]

Damn that is one sick ass looking roadster...

Jonney

[Kevin Lee]

Between you and Bleed Canada has some pretty cool cars.

[bobbleed]

HahaHa I don't live in Canada....... Tuck does.

Canadians are Funny.

[Tuck]

wait till you check out my HOCKEY PUCK motor mounts... they're awesome... grimlock you'll dig em. I think they'll be cooler than your schwinn gas pedal mount.

I tried to get a 80's pair from the olympics, Cold War pucks.. but some asshole outbid me.

http://www3.sympatico.ca/thehockeyattic/1972seriespuck.jpg
