Hot Rods A cool 32 runs through our shop

Looks good....

 

That's a wedge channel and a big one too.

 

I like em all! But this car with the Olds power talks to me! Wouldn't kick it out of my shop! Very cool!

 

I like it either way. Heaven forbid we start building our cars all identical. I like a nice "set to launch" stance normally but don't want to dictate every car needs one to be "worthy". It is period correct and my Uncle had a similar one in the mid 60's.

 

Not really only an "east coast look".

What about Kisam "Tuffy" 3w...from ? Nebraska? Hers was/and still is, channeled even more. Plenty more were all over the USA.

it's what the kids were building in the 1950s..they were not building highboys

the owner of this coupe should be praised for saving a style of the past.

If one starts to change this or that, it won't stop until it's ruined.

 

Really nice car but I sure agree with Larry.

 

I dig it. Looks like a very clean hot rod. Is there a long history on the car?

 

Looks a bit northwest style to me,
not all chopped and channeled cars came from the east coast

 

Wow. awesome pic...

This thread is getting betterer

are those mini-flames on the firewall edges?

 

Some people would put Tattoos on the mona lisa some things just dont need change even if its not what todays "Hot Rodders" like



Like it the way it is isn`t like all the Y2K cookie cutter wana bees
Great job on the car Jim and kuhdos to the owner

 

Sorry Larry, Tuffy was built by my best friend in late 50s smack dab in central USA.
I think stance and style were dictated by the builders tastes which were influenced by both rods in the area and the rods seen in magazines at the time.

 

A little rake would be nice, but that is still a no nonsense nice ride.

 

Jerry Chin has style for miles.
Nobody can say that isn't a traditional looking Hot Rod even if you don't like the look of the stance.
Do your homework people and look at the Andy Kassa Deuce and multiple other Channeled cars from the 50's and 60's.

 

PISSAH
Couple of NW hoodlums

 

face it, it is the real deal. my channeled roadster is lower in the back, as was my first roadster 45 years ago. nick.

 

Glad to see the real Hot Rodders and grey beards who know what it really was like stepping up and telling it how it truly was..

 

This is my car you posted and I personally hated the channel job of it, I much prefer the channel on Jerry's black coupe, but everyone has their own opinion on what looks good.
BUT It's not about east coast west coast here, for me it's more about people knowing what is traditional and what is not.

saying that you don't like the look of these 'NEW' cars makes yourself look silly cause my car and Jerry's car were both built back in the day.
Also your 'Mileage may vary quote' is totally off too, I couldn't see a damn thing in this car cause the windshield faced the ground.

I can't believe this car has is getting so much flack and the post about the cars of VLV is getting so much love.
Unbelievable.

 

I like the car and the stance looks fine to me, good to see guys still marching to their own drum. ,,,same stance on a vintage rod on page 3320 of Vintage shots of days gone by

 

Kool car, but I,m just not an east coast hotrod type of guy.

 

It is spot on in my book!!

There is no right way to build a 3w...to each his own. I stated MY opinion on what I liked...that's why I also said your mileage may vary. We can agree to disagree. I personally love the fact that you chose to return your coupe to hiboy status...my favorite way to build a 3w.

 

I totally agree with you on that, that's what make Hot Rods so much fun.

 

Jerrys car is beautiful in person. I like a nose down stance on my own car, but this little car oozes coolness out of its entire being. It is actually a very dark green metallic, and the white compliments it perfectly. The stance is such a small part of its coolness.the fact is the 4 speed, early olds and vintage trinkets are so cool . I am
Jus happy to have had a small part in such a cool ride

 

agree with larry, looks like a dog with his tail tucked and running

 

Hahaha!

It's been done so often on A's it's unusual to see it done on a Deuce!

I do love the Olds drivetrain... and it's certainly a perfect period correct East coast example...!

 

Lotsa folks rewriting the definition of "traditional" on this one. Cars period perfect and the stance matches, check your history books folks. JohnnyA

 

Love the wheel combo and the stance. Bad ass early rod look.

 

BEAUTIFUL

 

Ass up;Ass down...its Awesome! In real good company with the version of Andy Kassa's beauty shown in post #48.

 

I only wish i could have driven it around the block,
But unfortunate for me the car left my place and went to the builder for steering install, re-wire and final cleanup before delivery. It is one cool little car and will defiantly have some influence on how I do my 3 window when it's time comes.
