Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

N.H.R.A. Champ. Bruce Larson's 32 Five window Clone of his High school car.

 

Under slung. Not a new idea but still different.

 

Interesting. Do you have detail pictures of the front & rear suspension?

 

Stogy: Those wheels on the roadster in post 315 ,look to be '54 Buick Skylark wires; to me.

 

On the Bruce Larson '32, I'm almost certain Bruce told me that is his original car; that he had to trade a '32 3w body for to get it back.

 

Frame horns have since been bobbed. Rear leafs are front '48 F1. Frame is model A based widened and contoured to follow the T body.

 

I was only going by what the article said, if Bruce says it's the real car I am not going to argue.

 

any more info on this ?

 

bowie went to this link provided by cactus and gleaned from the thread (owned by a Hamber by the way Tetanus Shot) that they are Chrysler Turbine Experimental Wheels (how rare are those eh). Check the thread out it is a very good read.



When it comes to rare stuff and there is a lot of it out there and on here...I was looking at the fellow who built this car and there was a guy by that name that was a baseball great. Is this his car. Did he know somebody at Chrysler. Just wondering.

New interesting connection perhaps

 

Interesting, in a thread about homogenized hot rods you post a bunch of pics of cars with 32 shells, possibly the single most overdone mod in hot rodding, maybe only out done by 350/350 engine trans swaps.

 

You have a lot of one of a kind thinking involved in this...Well engineered and no doubt this stuff was available back then. I would expect for instance an auto/mechanical/aerospace engineer type would think this way and understand the importance of balance, jigging and so many other things. High tech in the field ie. home workshop/garage. That is the essence of this thread I believe. There is of course the gleaning/working with others with know how...Little Pages and all other things similar as others have said to inspire and educate all the others such as myself. Great work slinger

 

I was going to say, maybe you ought to put little wheels on those frame horns, in case you get a flat tire in front . That is unique and out of the box thinking, good job.

 

Yep. I guess I should read what the OP meant for this thread to be about . Ha.

 

I'm not sure you were discounting these features from the thread as many other mods can be done to the grill and cars themselves. Many cars I have posted have this feature but many things make them one or two of a kind.

 

Exactly. You've got my intention 100% Stogy.

 

Thanks for the kind words Stogy!

 

Streamlining-

 

looks like a lot of mods were done to that body beside the nose cone.

 

I get the point wonder how it did. Is this old? As mentioned quite well done. Betcha nobody is going to put that cone on their Hotrod hey...filled wheel wells too.

 

I honestly think this Hotrod represents the thread topic. All credits to Harroldd1963

YIKES! You do not want to get a flat tire in that car

 

DITTO ! Or, straddle an object in the road.

 

Scub line is fine and there's nothing that hangs below the frame with at least 4" of ground clearance.

 

Few more
