Art & Inspiration HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS OWN A HOT ROD & A CUSTOM

I have owned a lot of hot rods over the years but never owned or built a custom although I have always likes them they have eluded me.

I always check out the 49 to 51 Ford threads and dream of owning a mild custom.

So who has both Hamb friendly cars in their garage? HRP

 

I did. Always had anhotroda hotrod, and
Built a full custom 53 Chevy about 10 years back. Sold it a few years ago now.
But did have both for a while.

The 53 was a fun car to build. I really dig doing sheet metal mods/work.

I have a gasser and a mild custom will that pass forgot a pic up too ,but it is not done yet. The only pic on this computer of my dart it is covered in mud.

 

Damn it, I got a throbber workin

 

Jeez...... don't you have like 1 of EVERYTHING?

 

and a few originals, I got no money , just a bunch of cars

 

These two share the same filthy floor'd garage with an off topic muscle car, gotta keep a nice mix, no point in too much overlap. Lots of other junk parked elsewhere too but these are the good ones so far. I have a '51 Merc project in the works now that can replace the '52. The T isn't quite done yet, and maybe I'll love it, never had a finished one to drive, but I feel like if I could only have one, I'd pick the customs. They have an extra level of comfort and practicality, and I drive slow anyway.

 

I will have when I finish my '63 Tbird!
Does that count?

 

Have both hot rod and custom although the '49 ford is in full tranformation mode at the moment with a couple of projects creeped in front of it.

My current HAMB friendly cars are my 51 mild Kustom Mercury and wife's restored 51 Buick Roadmaster, sold my 32, 2 years ago spring.

 

I had a 51 merc along with my hot rods but never got past the suspention stage. It now is living in New Zealand.

 

Ladyhrp & I have the Ranch Wagon and we really enjoy it but I don't consider it to be a "Custom" just a cool old driver. HRP

 

I forgot to mention these two, Homebuilt miniature ten wheeler and my 34 Ford P.U. which is on the back burner

 

Possibly the proverbial pot of GOLD at the end of the rainbow? HRP

 

Close as I can get is my 34 and an O/T warmed over G-body wagon

 

I have both, but I keep forgetting which is which.LOL

 

Maybe we need a new classification for beautiful works of art like your '36 Ford.

Custom Hot Rod? HRP

 

Only my current driver and another in-progress project, maybe in retirement I could build a custom because I've never had one?

 

So where's the HOT ROD? I see Three Customs

Looks like two bad ass customs to me

 

I just have the custom for now, but the next project will be a hot rod!

 

Hot rods only--never owned a custom but sure like em--especially 49-50 ford coupes! Maybe some day.

 

You and me both Brother! HRP

 

I'll admit that I just have my F-100 at the moment but I'm not complaining. I would have a custom but it hasn't gone as planned (turned out it would've been very expensive to build a '49 Lincoln coupe).

48 Hudson custom and channeled 32 Ford Roadster and 63 Riviera

 

Only a hot rod now. But in '63 I built this '59 Bird and had my "other" RPU. The bird was dechromed, scoop molded, hand built tube grill, custom tail lights and an Ak Miller 390 under the hood. Kind of a street custom with a little hot rod influence.

 

Always been a hotrod guy, never messed with customs. Liked looking at them. Decided that I should probably add a custom to the stable. The planets aligned and I had the chance to bring the Merc home, and I jumped at it. Now I just need one of those O/T muscle cars to complete the collection.

 

One of each plus the sprintcar.
