Anyone know what a hot rod rake is?

So that would be a traditional hot rod rake?

 

Resto-Mod.

 

Not always the case, but pre-49: ass in the air, nose in the weeds. Post 48: nose in the air, ass in the weeds.

 

about 4 degrees

 

I think a hot rod is sposta have a big engine, big tires in the BACK, short wheelbase, small body, oh, and higher in the back, right ?
(Was it "Rub salt in my eyes," or "Don't rub salt in my eyes?") Dyslexia is fun.

Good experiment results, Jeem.

 

If I never saw another set of those wheels again it would be too soon.
Especially on a car of that vintage! WTF are people thinking? In what weird, parallel universe could those be considered as adding anything remotely resembling aesthetic appeal? Rant over.
(Did I mention that I hate those wheels?)

 

Nope. Rat Rake.

 

Now, we're cooking with gas!....'cept the 12 spokes go on the front.

 

Yep, 6.70's on the front, and 9.00's on the back. Just to get enough rubber on the road for a little bite. That made all the difference when you were racing someone who wasn't clued in, because I'd be gone and they wouldn't have hooked up yet. Bad, bad, hoodlum, street racer. retired

 

Is that what you use to clean up leaf springs?

 

Yes. And acorn nuts also.

 

Rakes are so passé. I like to think of this as more of a shovel...

 

Yea, but why'd you paint it red?

 

RAKE? LEAF? HAaahhahahhahaaaaa



I don't get it.

 

Nope.

 

pretty funny subject.

Even in the sixties, few got "the look", seems that with the new popularity of older style hot rods, few still get "the look".

If an overly channeled car that sits lower in the back makes you feel good and smile, good for you. Thats all this is about anyways.

People have been driving funny looking cars and loving them for as long as I can remember, and will be for a long time to come. If everyone understood rake and stance, the nice cars wouldnt stand out anymore. In a way, we need the sea of turds.

be happy, have fun.

 

How about a Hay Wagon?

 

No doubt. That's why I've held my tongue (typing finger?!) for so long. Kind of an "our little secret" thing. Haha
In the 80's It was triple bladed florescent pink w.s. wipers. To each, their own. Different strokes and all that ROT.....

 

I know that you know that I know.

 

Isaac Hayes would say that was one bad mother f......

"I'm just talking 'bout rake?!"

 

Right on!

 

I have a buffer rake.

Duzzat help?

 

What kinda drums you runnin'? I have no problems with my F-1 set up...they stop me just fine, and I've driven it over 4 hours in one direction, and daily...and down the quarter mile...they had to before discs, didn't they? most folks just don't want to remember to adjust 'em as much as they should.

 

Notice how good roadsters look with no windshield at all? Racy!

 

this needs to be brought back up.............just saying

 

Just keep putting bigger motors in it till it looks right.

 

A r@t rod rake is a tool used to gather parts for a r@t rod in the town dump.

 

Rake you say? HRP

 

I've always preferred a Hotrod broom....

 

Nose down, ass up . . .
