Hot Rods The Official Track-Lakes Roadster Picture Thread...

Brendan, It has never been to any shows.



It is good seeing those pics. I don't even look at pictures of it on my computer. I have been so pissed at it. I have not worked on it in months but damn, after seeing these pics again it has me amped to work on the ol girl again.

 

Yeah good stuff, get that spark going again.

 

Didn't I see you advertise it for sale just recently?
Cheers
Tony

 

Your roadster has got me questioning the direction I want to go with my new project.

 

Excellent!! Congrats on the purchase, I saw that on ebay, good starting point.

Not trying to influence you..... much

 

G'day Tony, I tried to sell it last year, no real interest & it Didn't sell. So I dropped a Starfire 4 in the engine bay and I'm now saving for a triangulated 4 bar rear setup it is suited to the tight confines, also it will be hidden by the belly pan so wont be seen.

You need to get it down here for the River City run. Get your skates on.

Mine is pretty tight as well and after exploring lots of options I figure a Truck arm style suspension will work OK. I liked your exhaust through the firewall set up.
Cheers

 

Love wide 5s, glad ive got a set

 

Anyone put up a pic of Pat Lash's new nose job? I took this pic at the Road Zombie's BBQ in June.

Anything I can do to help...

A couple of my steel 1926 roadster.

 

Love that car Rocky... Any idea what that radiator is out of? My roadster has the same one. '33-'34 Ford maybe?

 

From the little bit of information I have been able to gleen about this car, I believe the shell was custom made.

 

Came across this digital rendering, not completely traditional but it needs to be built.,

 

That's not a rendering.... That car has been together for awhile. I'm pretty sure $65,000 will make you the new owner....

 

DAMN! How did I miss this thread?

 

The Salt Shaker I believe its called. Here are a few pictures from the HAMB of that car.

 

Well, it needed to be built and it was, the Parthenon with cobblestone paving foooled me. , found the link to the one I originally saw, plagerism is alive and well ,


Today, we are releasing another stunning piece of automotive art by hyper-realist digital artist Greg Sims. This piece features a 1928 Ford Speedster and is titled "Arena Speedster".

Check it out here: http://graphics.myclassicgarage.com/preview/automotive_art/5/47

 

Don't know if this roadster has been posted, if so excuse me. I posted on another thread, but this might be the thread to get some answers. I came across the pic. on a website that gave no info. and have been trying to find out more on it.

this is what I have found so far, Going by the name on the side of the car:
Jack Henry (First President of Road Runners) Charter Member Road Runners SCTA in 1937.
And this looks like the same car.

Pugh Brothers - John & Rob - picture from Veda Orr's Lakes Pictorial-1946 Season
Can anyone add any more information? Thanks,
.

Bringing back up to the top...
Getting a bit obsessed to learn more about this extremely cool car.
Anybody got some info.?

I can almost gaurantee it was running one of these intakes, http://www.streetrodderweb.com/tech/1048srp_ford_flathead_intake_manifold_collection/photo_06.html , but you'll probably find more pictures if you search here, http://www.lib.utah.edu/collections/photo-exhibits/bonneville-salt-flats.php

 

That is indeed the same car and owned by the Pugh bros. prewar and postwar it was the SCTA fastest Modified at 127.035mph record (1940) & ran 123.96mph in 1941 at Russetta meet.

First shot is from the AHRF site & was taken in 1940. Car was sponsored by Jack Henry presumably because the brothers were using a Jack Henry manifold. Jack Henry owned an English Riley roadster powered by a flathead V8

 

Thank you Jimmy B!
Went to the AHRF site...WoW! _ it is now bookmarked in my Favorites.

It's actually not the Parthenon. It's the Royal Cresent, in Bath. UK. My brother lived a few blocks from there! It's used in many period films. Another bit of useless information, now back to your regular viewing......

 

Thanks a lot. Your car isn't exactly the best cure for the disease.

 

Anything else I can do to help ? Just ask away..
Remember, we are all in this together .
Ron

 

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas !!!
Ron
p.s. hope we see you at the Detroit Autorama in March.
