"If it ain't broke - fix it till it is"

 

All through their growing up years, my kids had the coolest driveway for many miles around except for Buddy Ingersol shop a few miles down the road.



My current project, but not a new one--














This will be the third (I think) reincarnation of the workhorse I have been using since the mid 80s.
With a lot of work I made it beautiful once, then ruined it by taking it on the salt too many times, and now am currently freshening it up again to keep it going as a daily fun driver.
My kids grew up with as a daily family car, with a rear facing seat with seat belts in the bed, going to all their soccer and football games, shopping, sledding, picnics, etc. They preferred the Stude truck or the Hawk over the other cars
It became a family tradition to take it to the Newport Indiana Hillclimb every year. It was not eligible for any competition class, but we ran the hill a few times for the fun of it.
It is evolving into a mild 4wd at present.
And it has never had any Brand X engine in it, ever.
I drove it cross-country several times with the smokey flathead six, then in the late 80s I put in a Studebaker Lark 259v8 engine that I had been using in my 55 coupe since I pulled it from a 140,000 mile 62 Lark in 1974, and have worn out 4 speedometers since.
Thru the 80s and early 90s I regularly ran it to the Indy Good Guys Hot Rod Happening, Wentzville, and Nashville to help some buddies drag race.
Trips to Denver and to Daytona were not uncommon, in addition to daily use carrying remodeling supplies and firewood.
I have NO IDEA how many miles that adds up to.
It is still licensed and used regularly, and is getting freshened up again as we speak




why be ordinary?

 

Messing with the Olds now-

You should post those pictures in a album.

 

One I've been tinkering with since this past winter. Finally got it on the chassis. Lots to do still. Wheels are just for mockup.

 

If I get my shop built before winter I'd like to start tinkering around with this.

1954 Mainline, 223 3 speed. Really straight and clean, recovering from back surgery so the progress is slow, but getting there....

The English car is a 1954 Austin healey. It is sitting in a chromoly tube chassis, with all corvette suspension and a 1963 corvette 327, 4 speed. The car has been a race car since the late 50s. It's a little off topic, but it is truely a hot rod.

 

My next project is still patiently awaiting it's turn while being buried with junk as each year passes!



I have owned the '65 pickup since the early seventy's and removed the inline six and 3 on the tree and installed several different V8's and a 4 speed transmission,I repainted it the original color black and wrecked it two days latter.

I de-chromed the custom cab and all the trim,filled the holes and added flames,I drove it until the last 302 blew a head gasket and just decided to build something else and it has sat a lot longer than I had intended.

I have a few things to do to my running hot rod fleet this winter but I hope to drag the truck out of the barn and get started on it after the first of the year,as for how long it will take will be determined by what I do and of course finances.

Most likely it will be a simple build with the normal rust repair.

It looks pretty sad right now. HRP

 

I have been working on this 28 Pontiac for ever. Progress this spring, but not much since

 

Love the 60s/70s vibe with those wheels etc

 

finished the Dort, sold the truck on to this now.

 

Aussie 54 Ford, was factory flathead four door but had an FE fitted late 60'/ early 70's. And a couple of doors less.

 

Just made a deal on this today....lots of ideas!!!

 

Looks like it had its tail bobbed but what year is it? 36ish Ford? I particularly like it for some reason.
Maybe because it looks like it needs saving so bad Good luck! I will be lookng forward to seeing what you do

 

35.....I guess the trunk and tailpan was donated to another project. I'll have to make a new one. Gonna be an early custom build pretty much for sure on that....

 

I'm currently in the "parts gathering stage" of my latest project. Ordered the chassis at Pete and Jakes 3 weeks ago. Ordered the '32 5 window body at New Age Motorsports 2 weeks ago. Got the tires and wheels last week and picked up a new Walker radiator. Have the C4 tranny rebuilt and the 302 mocked up to figure out motor mount measurements. Should have the chassis in 4 or 5 weeks and the body some time in the spring.

 

Here is some photos of my 34 Ford 2 dr sedan. Got it painted this summer

 

I'll play. Still in the parts gathering stage. Here's what we got so far. 1919 Dodge Brothers frame. 1920 Willys touring car front half, Model T pickup bed out back. Model A banjo rear. Olds 303 engine. Just about got what I need to start fitting everything together come spring time.

 

Double LIKE!

 

Hers my next one.

 

With your incredible skills it should be running in about a week with a perfect body.
