Hot Rods Hot Rod Sports Cars

I should have known (remembered) that if you were the same fellow who built the front drive blown coupe in the background (which I saw and photographed on my only trip to the salt flats) that this new car would also be truly amazing. I like the Indy roadster-ish nose. Is the chassis also that way, torsion bars, etc.? I hope you will post some build pix or there is a photo spread coming some time soon in a pub. I love your stuff. Gary. Oh, and can I assume the Cunningham is the real deal?

 

here is a couple more pictures of it. the car will be heading out to Bonneville .................................................................................................................................I wonder what the shown car will be doing at Bonneville? It is a very beautifully built car. Top notch everywhere that I can see in the pictures. But not a Bonneville car. No class that it can run in and not legal for Time Only. Will it be there as a photo opp?[/QUOTE]

 

Tipo Carrera Bugatti?

I don't know. only what he told me. he ran his other creation, a roadster at Bonneville and the car was also on the cover of hot rod magazine a few years back.

 

here are his other two previous builds.

 

not my car. built by Andrew Murray. all hand built by him, right down to the suspension.
the Cunningham from what I am told was built from a few original pieces

 

Building a Cheetah

 

WOW. Have these pix been published or posted before? PS love the stands!

 

You guys are both in the same league, stratosphere.

 

Don't know google image comes up empty. The grainy ones look like they came from a mag article.

 

Back in the 90's after I got out of the Navy, my dad and I started a project to put a small block and narrowed 9 inch rear in my 69 Triumph Spitfire. Never finished it, I got married and moved 1000 miles away and a couple of years later he got Colon cancer and passed away. Unfortunately, he sold all the car junk we had accumulated except for the few things I had taken with me so the car was lost. Was a 9 inch with discs and he did all the frame work there. Would have been super fun..... To this day I still want to find a cheap roller Mk III Spitfire and finish what we started.

 

Saw this and the black Cro Sal roadster at Road America yesterday.

Many times I've looked at a Spitfire and had the same desire as you. Those cars have some of the best lines of any sports car ever, would make a terrific and fun car. I think Squirrel has one, with the stock 4 banger still in it.

 

Saw this one yesterday, Woodill Wildfire.

 

The gentleman looking it over is an old friend of mine, 94 years old, he drove a brand new $290,000 Mclaren to the event. His Rodding Roots run deep, here is a shot of him from 1950 !

Indy car. Not sport car.

 

At our local cruise in yesterday I guess you could call it a sports car

 

A couple I have in the shop, sport car yes, hot rod no.
