Features 60's Style HotRods, Street, Race, Custom - Come On, Post pictures of what you like !

Another fun time on the streets.....

 

When I was looking to buy a few months back..... trying out this 30/31.

 

I often think of how squirrely those high powered short coupled things must be.

 

Loudbang have you any photos with the door closed?

Which of those pictures is the newest? I like the headlights in the second one best. Just my deal and was hoping the owner agreed.

 

In progress pic of my 30 roadster build, Hogan twin plug heads & manifold, Nash 8 dizzy. Has 47 Merc dash and 49 Hudson taillights. Body was done by Famous NZ metal man (has done over 50 roof chops) Rick Murray from Oamaru and have been working with Luke Ennion (Franklin Speed Shop) on the chassis work

 

I'm going to say the E & J's were on the former build and the...are they King Bees? The latter...I must say you are very cordial in your preference...

Six ball, here's an ad I think from 2016

https://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=38769&country=us

UPDATE...quoted from ad...

"The headlamps are king bees. The E&J's as indicated in alot of the picts. are not part of the deal."

I reread the ad and I suppose it might be up for grabs and to the joy of many Hoodlums...NO E & J's

One thing I like about sale sites such as UK is they keep the ads up as an archive I think, for us perusers...

It did say it was on Ebay but I couldn't find it...

 

I see a UFO nearby...Always enjoy the Waaay Over Yonder action as you fellas breathe Vintage Hotrod really Good...

 

Thanks Stogy grate looking coupe.

I know this headlights are traditional and prized by many. I've been into this stuff of over 60 years so my dislike is also traditional, or at least period correct. I don't think you could build that car for $25,000 unless you did every bit of the work yourself.

 

Thanks Stogy, That is Luke's, Franklin Speed Shop bubble top, The Little Menace.

 

Always liked that Hotrod...it has stood out to me in good way as having the right stuff and can wear the oddball deco or Hotrod lights...better than many. Your Traditional dislike was put across more eloquently than many responses to these mood breakers for many...

I pacified my response I did to you regarding them in the previous post...

They actually graced my old Hotrod in it's original build in 2010 and were swapped out before my ownership with the Big Lights I currently run that I believe are late 20s GM Big Car...and as Dana says by the early 60s they were long gone and replaced with #2 sealed beam smaller Headlights...even safety is a factor here...better and brighter...

I have been thinking of trying out Guides and possibly Kingbees as they both have better beam and fit 1963 period more correctly...

...Great Artrod Rocket...60s AstroFink Inspired...indeed...I had a peek...It belongs here...

@Rocket88NZ again you have a great scene going on there...

Is Luke a Hamber? Give him a Hamb Thumbs Up...

If you have shared this already my apologies...it certainly has Atomic Punk influence among the other Finkiness...

Good going Stogy, finding photo, I know he checks out the Hamb, not sure if he is signed up but will pass on your appreciation. Pretty hard to make a good looking bubble car I feel but I think he has got it right and as far as I know it is the only one built here.

 

Looks like a Mopar Poly engine

 

absolute perfect proportions

 

Both "Bowtie Coupe" and "59FORD" posted pics of this sedan earlier
this year. This pic is from somewhere around 1970, taken in Tinley
Park, Illinois. In their pics, where it says "Pit Stop" the name "White's"
has been eliminated.

 

Thanks! Here is a peak at what makes it slightly OT for this forum.

 

Where is the line between period correct and time warp? "Far out Man!"
