Features 60's Style HotRods, Street, Race, Custom - Come On, Post pictures of what you like !

It your going to fix her up start a thread on it and let us know where the thread is I'm betting a LOT of people will be interested.

 

I thought the crying kids and such were a new phenomenon (hey I used that big word twice today...) but evidently not......See old pictures bring historical references to the forefront...

Cool stuff as always @Moriarity ...
some of them perrritty daring
to say the least.​

 

Ken - quite the time capsule you have there. Are you in PA? 25 years ago was 1992. Damn, time slips away.

 

Ken.burridge.71 : Good lookn’ Coupe! Are you from Lebanon Co? If so ,I believe you know my son Seb the VW parts guy. Welcome to the HAMB.

 

You should probably credit Joe Szafran for these photos that is the guy you took them from

 

Ok, I will be trying to do that.

Yeah, I know Seb. I have been talking to him about the car and told you about a couple years ago. I finally got my dad talked into getting it back on the road.

That’s awesome Ken, I ‘d love to see the car. Seems to be a very similar build to my old hack. Let Seb know if we can be of help in any way.

 

You got that right. I guess that's what makes it a hot rod. I honestly could use any help that anyone can give me. I have no clue what most of the parts on this thing are.

You are at the right place to get any help you’ll need. There is an unbelievable amount of old hot rod knowledge on this board.

 

I hope. I'm lost here.

Just let me know, I will give you a hand.

 

Ken, like loudbang said , protocol around here would be to start a dedicated thread on just your car. If you put up detailed pictures, these guys will identify every piece on her; down to the last nut and bolt. There are tutorials at the start of the forums , that can walk you thru most anything.

 

Gonna try to upload five pics of my chopped channeled 32 3 window while in hi school, Durango, CO 1959-1960. Flattie first, then 331 Hemi. A shitbox, but at 16 yrs old I thought it was cool.

 

Oh man that's the business right there!

 

WOW! Wicked little coupe Ron. Impressive for a 16 year old kid.

 

It doesn't quite fit here, but this is my dad around 1965. They called this car the "Appaloosa".

What the heck, is that a see-through shirt?!?

 

First shot was taken summer of 67'. Fresh paint (painted outside), 327, 340 horse form a 64" vette ($250.00) and Firestone wide ovals in the rear. Seconed shot was late 1969, just before I went to Vietnam (Air Force). Found a second picture taken in 67'. Definitely needed an interior color change, wheel too.

 

This might be a rerun so..............
I get real nostalgic when I see a 57 Chevy with thin white walls on black wheels.
Top photo is my BelAir the way I bought it in 1970 while in high school, the bottom photo is how I turned it into the hotrod of my dreams.
Funny how people change, I still like hot rods with flames and such but at this stage in my life I'd love to have that car again the way I bought it.

 

Thank You! A bit of truth here, those trophies were not mine, but the car was. For a small town, Durango had some truly good hot rods, we took a lot of trophies home from Grand Junction, 170 miles away to the only real drag strip back then.

 

Must have come with the see through spark plug wires...

 

is this photo evidence of an abduction?
