History Cars & Trucks with a rake,all invited to this thread

I like a nice rake. Here are my current rides - with rakes.

 

Mine with a rubber rake

 

Supercharging the car...somehow it didn't work out like I thought but maybe it has the rake

 

My old Vicky, but all build credit given to my friend KenDeuce on here. Affectionately known as "The Ohio Look"

 

I thought I had a little too much, so I traded looks for a while. Lost about 2" of tire in the back, and gained about 300 rpm on the hiway, but I am pleased with the change.

 

I had to build the chassis with a little taildragger flavor so those rear wheels would let it set it to 4* ass up.

 

My mildly dagoed 40. I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Like most cars/trucks in this thread the rake on Clarence is sorta hard to see in a pic unless the view is straight on from the side. Stock the bottom of the running boards and the sheet metal behind them is level with the ground and about a foot off of the ground.

Notice in the avatar how level Clarence is? That's due to all that torque produced by 283 c. i. of Chevy power lifting the front coming off the line at MoKan. There's no danger of front suspension damage when it comes back down from a wheelie...

 

My 5w and 54 don't know if they are California rakes. But I do know they have a Colorado rake . Oh that's my buddy Jim's model A its a very cool car.

 

I have adjustable rake on the stude, california mode for cruisin, then mat the pedal and it adjusts to gasser/altered mode.

 

Try this

 

I'll play

 

28Tudor-love the sedan and the paint, what color is that? My '35 has a little rake and the big one is in the shed.....

 

Torsion bars cranked up a few turns. Air shocks in the back. Sitting up all the way around.

 

the rake was the first thing I noticed about my car

 

Rake, we got rake...

 

Original stock factory rake.
In California.

 

MINE

All of my hotrods have had a nose down attitude. Yes, I'm originally from California!
