Hot Rods Hotrods with Fixed Rear Fenders & Cycle/Cycle Style Fronts

I actually thought of historic roads largely dirt back in the day and fenders hugging tires getting choked up with mud...that may have had a relation to clearances...City based versus out in the boonies...But yes close to tire looks better and it is interesting the positioning and lengths are all over...but you know when there's no rules it's like that...and I'm pretty open...to all variations...

...This Hotrod has similatities in stance and build to the Coffee Grinder featured earlier in this Thread...It also went from No Fronts to Cycle Fronts, It has been resurrected to an inspired version of its former look above but still remains possibly owned by Hamber at the link above...

Didn't have fenders, had to make them out of trailer fenders

...Sorry small pic but to cool not to share. This was a Hambers Dad I believe and his handle I don't recall but rare mix indeed but not a first either...

Seems these would look better if the tops had a rake.​

 

Sgt, I'm not sure which post your referring too...
​

 

The chopped roadsters.

 

I'm still not connecting it to a post...but when you reply to a post if you left the content of the post when replying it would help...

...priceless shot...Got the latest Hotrod News, the Hotrod, the Groovy Duds...Good Times...

this is probably a long shot..but after reading about the “ice box” coupe above and looking at the linked thread, then looking at details of this coupe.. what are the chances this is an early version of the same car? It appears to have chrome door hinges and a 32 shell, along with the bobbed rear fenders.. of course there’s good chance I’m completely wrong

 

That's it @Stogy! I have that picture saved several times over. (FYI the sedan behind it haunts my dreams!)

 

I think the chop is less or not chopped. When building The Ice Box a re-chopping is not a thing that wasn't done if there was a former chop already and yes taking someone else's former dream, then remastering it is certainly not a new phenomenon...I would think there is a plausible chance especially if these fellas and the Coupe were in Connecticut in the mid 50s. I really like the early version of the Ice Box in Austinrods Thread without the front fenders...it really had a look with the later version like above also full of 60s coolness.

 

Hamber @desoto was one of those who was fortunate to have a camera in the Hamb era at the strip and other locales and he seemed to be influenced by the RatFink revolution or even earlier Hoodlum doodling as evidenced by the art on the top...

...Snoopy has Friends...

@Denns1989 perhaps a sign of things to come...I know of just one up for grabs...super price too...

Nudge, Nudge winking aside, such a cool pic...I believe still around...I'm Thinking Beaner would agree it makes one want to Explore a Crosley Hotrod...

...this is a great fender detail shot of the Bart Root Roadster...and I'll overlook the Bug as they share incredible history and this quite clearly shows rectangular bar bolted strategically thru the backing plates with the rearward bar under the kingpin boss on the plate...

Bicycle tubing is a strong fairly light period option and as
alluded use of just steel or aluminum round tube as well...so many options for those considering Cycle Style Fronts...

Another unrelated but notable detail in this pic is the Lower Shock Bracket looking to be a 90° angle bolted to the lower perch similar to the more modern L-Shaped Cousin...
