History Cars & Trucks with a rake,all invited to this thread

Neat photo of our Truck.

 

My old pick up. Have dropped the front a bit since the pikky.

 

That CAN'T be an Alaska rake. There ain't no show on it. HUH? I feel just like you do, Alaska. HRP's rides have the typical cool rake without looking like they are standing on their fucking grilles. Now I think I know how Special Ed got his name. There are definitely some on here who covet their opinions maybe too mucho. Like assholes, everyone has an opinion, and some stink more than others. Holy shit, let's go cruising ! ! ! ! !

The '29 sedan and the 2 phone booths couldn't look any finer.........................unless they were in MY garage. Classic.

 

One more good one . . .

 

36 Chevy Tudor

 

I didn't know you could build them any other way...
The red & white one wasn't even done and you can see the rake. Even my 4x4 work truck (not pictured) has a rake to it! Gene

 

Here is another one, some great pictures posted here...

 

My pal Hanks pickup has a nice rake. HRP

 

1 of a kind 33 Fordor

1 of a zillion 29 Ford P.U.

 

Not radical.





Fourdy

 

It's not a hotrod without a rake. Here's a couple of mine.

 

Took these yesterday . . .

 

This car looks like it's ready to take on all comers. HRP

 

Subtle rake

 

another all-time favorite of mine.

Its a little un-nerving whenever Marty posts his stuff. It seems like pretty much everything he has, I either A) have B) have had at some point in the past or C) have always wanted!
If I had garage space for two more cars, I would buy and restore my buddies '63 sport fury 383 golden commando and be on the hunt for a '49/'52 88 to clone this with.

 

2" spindle drop and rubber rake

 

I posted this car on the "fifties cars as hot rods" thread last year, I was totally knocked out by it, thought it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen.




honestly, to my eye, a lot of the cars posted on the "California rake" thread, and even on this thread don't really look like what I think of when I think "rake". This car really nails it, the heavy rake, the slicked up body, the nerfs, man, I'd love to build something like this. Too many cars, too little time left on the clock, and not enough garage space... cant have it all...

 

My stake bed has quite a bit of rake.

 

Looks great that way.

 

Norm Grabowski's T had a serious rake

 

Man, that's sheer beauty.

My pair of coppers worth ......

 

Id love to see some more pics of this truck.

 

I've got lots of 'em posted on my site. http://streetrodder.net/category/my_hotrods/40_stake_bed/

The photo session was courtesy of American National Property and Casualty. They asked to shoot it for potential use in some of their classic vehicle insurance marketing materials. I was pretty honored to be asked and jumped at the chance. That particular shot was one that I took with my phone.
