Found a picture, and have some question

I found this picture, somewhere;


It's so cool, but why all the work?
I know it makes it lighter, but so does removing them.

 

Reduced air drag or just bad taste.

 

I,d say ,if you were running in a fender required drag class

 

He likes polka dots and just got a really good deal on a new hole saw.

 

I think its awesome

 

Got a good deal on holes, that's where they ended up ! As said above, it was in a fender required race class. I think those holes would have created a lot of turbulence and drag. JW

 

I bet it would just whistle by you at speed!

 

With the hefty engine set back (you can see the top of the steering wheel and roll bar in the rear seat area) and the class designation, it was running as an A/Altered. In most drag racing associations rules, altered classes didn't require fenders.
I think it looks pretty cool though.

Good example of bad practice like that coupe recently in another thread.

 

Unique and kinda cool.

 

In the past, just like today, sometimes good ideas, weren't good ideas.

 

Model A's are famous for Flying at high speeds, Front fenders create Liftoff , He just didn't know when to stop Maybe ?

 

Then as now some guys do things for laughs, or because someone told them they couldn't. I bet there is an interesting story behind this car.

 

Beer was probably involved.......

 

It was the 50's, a time when not a lot was known, a time for experimentation, some worked some didn't. Who cares I think it's cool.

 

looks like they shaved a little off the hood length a bit.Id like to see a shot of it comming off the line.

 

There's the only correct reply. It was a time of little knowledge and a lot of experimentation.

 

Why was I thinking, "Metal Munching Mice"?

 

And I thought it was sponsored by a Swiss cheese maker.......

 

In a late sixties Rod & Custom there's a rear-angle photo of a '38 or '39 Ford coupe whose entire body, fenders and deck lid were drilled out... and in its shadow you the sun shining through the holes (no trunk floor). Very strange.

 

Looks pretty cool to me.... ever seen that before? Why bitch.

 

Hmmm...
Now I'm thinking that this is what happens when you tell your kid: "No! You CAN NOT take the fenders off!"

 

I like the chop!

 

Went sooooooooo Faaasttt = the holes relieved the High Pressure underneath?

 

Well it sure does grab your attention. I bet there was a lot of chatter about it at the track. Maybe that's why?

Looks a lot more interesting than skulls & rust ...

 

The whistle it makes wards off deer at speed.

 

holey grail?

 

Dare to be different...HRP

Swiss cheese!

 

Holy hell ! ! !
