Hot Rods Hangin' those rear tires

So badass.

 

My dad always meant to narrow the Corvette rear to tuck em, but I've known it this way my whole life and can't imagine it otherwise:

 

Is this one yours?

Thats me in June of 69, 3yrs old, leaning on the fender of my Dads 37 Chevy in Newhall Calif.
Bought a 37 coupe recently, going to build a 60s style HotRod/gasser tribute to my Dads.
Remember looking through all of his old photo albums as a kid, at all of the So Cal drag races he took pictures at.
him telling me about his favorites, Big John Mazmanian, Panella Trucking, Jr Thompson, Stone Woods& Cook, etc.
Love and miss you Dad!

 

Here are a couple shots of my Anglia. Built during the 60's Gasser Wars and last raced in the early 70's, the rear tires know no limits.

 

Awesome! Thank you for sharing! That is really special! Look fwd to seeing the build!
Ps, I am a William S Hart high grad.

And of course the push-car roadster is the '22 Dodge featured in the movie The Lively Set. Very cool image.

 

Seeing these cars with "nose bleed" and all the tread on their rear tires exposed makes me so, so happy to fast forward to today and narrowed rears and tubbed fender wells. LOL.

 

So was my Dad, class of 1960!!
My Dad Larry, at the CHRR 2010 all excited we are going to do push truck duty!!

 

Austin Pickups:

 

What are these fender things you speak of?

 

Isn't this the (Ben Cordova) coupe from Two Lane Blacktop?

 

I really like this thread. A photo of my delivery at Ocean city back in the 80's. Plus some of my very old models. The old rubber band has rotted off the blower drive on the 56 Vette. But yeah, loved the big tires back then. lol

 

Awesome 60's and 70's cars, you just got to love them, I'm glad I grew up during that era! With all that's going on it would be great to go back to those times, WHY can't we all just get along. God Bless everyone and be safe.

 

How about a Bantam roadster?

 

Or two...

 

Not sure if I posted this one... there's a lot of neat stuff going on.

 

Turning into one heck of a thread! Great photos
