Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

There was a 36 in the Late Rockerheads thread on the dry lakes that I thought may have been this one but its quarter windows were filled.

Rikster also provided another candidate but no chop so that 40 headlight mod was more common than I thought and yes the mods on that coupe are quite well done.

 

...Does that have parallel leafs up front mounted off to the side of the frame to get it Down......that's cool...there was oodles of innovation on those racers that many times is overlooked...awesome low slung hotrod​

 

Stogy... You always catch that littles interesting things....

Mark Cummins Pick Up... The grille was inspired by a deuce coupe from my neighbourhood back in the sixties. It was the local 'hot rod '. I've wanted to build this truck for over fifty years!

I talked with Mark via FB messenger It's from Canada Stogy!!!

Mark comment:

The first picture is from 1961 at the Toronto Speed/Sport show. The rest are a block from where I grew up.

I was seven years old when that car showed up in my neighbourhood! Not something a car crazy kid is going to forget.

Catch a good story Stogy... And I realize I don't know almost nothing about Hot Rods History in Canada!

Thanks to Mark for sharing the pictures with me and let me sharing on Hamb too!

@ratamahata that is to cool...thanks so much for connecting all these dots man...that just made Ole Friday a bit more special...

I have been to Speedsport but in the late 70s 80s that was before my time...I wonder if he might know @Jeff Norwell. Jeff knows alot of Roadmates CC members who had a clubhouse close to Toronto...

Thank Mark on mine and the rest of the Hambers behalf for sharing this iconic cool Hotrod/Custom stuff...its priceless.

 

Extra Picture from Mark...

Mark comment: That little Fiat had a 440 Chrysler motor in it. Went to Indianapolis in the late 60's and won his class ! It's being restored by one of the guys that built it.

He talk me about a New car Show!! Sounds fantastic.... Mark said:

I'm going to our big indoor show march 8 to 10. Motorama Mayhem. I will send you pics. It's going to be a crazy show. Lots of hot rods/ customs that have never been seen before!

Stogy! Do you know something about?

@ratamahata you knocked it out of the park tonight...thanks again...

So is Mark going to keep the side panels off...and does he have any more plans on going sixties on the paint or anything?

Buy the way you should suggest that he join the Hamb. There is a number of members quite close to him in Toronto.

I live 4 hours away from Toronto now...

 

He says it not quite done yet and don't asked to much about the truck build!!

I think Hamber @VANDENPLAS mentioned and asked if anyone was going that show in a thread recently...

 

I get it...preparing for a big unveiling...we got a peek...its pretty unique...perhaps you fellas might create some slightly different but similar pieces your way.

This is actually a section in the show kind of like Detroit with the Hamb Friendly stuff...

It is way tougher to get a low stance with parallel springs than a buggy spring. Some tricks were moving the springs outside the frame rails, reversing spring eyes, dearching the spring, removing leafs to make the package thinner, and putting the axle on top of the spring. Most of the cars that used parallel springs already had what would be a dropped axle on a Ford. Dropping them much more put the center of the axle very near the ground and eliminating any scrub line. I'm dealing with this on my roadster. It ain't easy.

 

That axle does look dropped and the springs definately off the side and No wishbones...pretty cool pic that is. I wonder would there be excess loads to the non boxed rails due to side mounted shackles?

Actually most of the things you mentioned look done...mind you on this one the axle is under.​

 

mounted on the side ... I would not believe it if I was not seeing it now !! This looks like it's located at the bottom.

Stogy and guys !! Think I found an old racer from my country... The mods are visible!! Like an old dirt track racer, but only in Argentina the competitions was realized over country roads...

Look at the interior pictures with the channeled Flor

Man...that's an unusual coupe what the heck is it?...the top section looks like a 32 ford 5 window...that's a neat kinda Swoopy trunk...

 

Rat...Gimpy is building a Hotrod with a similar theme to to one you posted of Mark's...



This canted headlight idea I believe originated from this wild factory ride

Nice find, that could be fun to build.
Here ate some more pictures of parallel leaf front ends. Axles on top, springs outside and Zd farm. Most guys give up and just Fordicate their Chevys.

...If I won the Lottery...I would be driving this Hotrod...

I get a chuckle when I see this thinking about a scene where they are hopping into the rides in the driveway (Life of Riley) to take off and buddy opens the door right into the other one...they don't miss a beat and take off...that's Hollywood...
