Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

...Found a better pic of this Blast from the past...It looks to perhaps have had bobbed rear or even front fenders spliced and fitted to the fronts...I wonder if anyone took it on and brought it back...

...Bug Gobbling Hotrod...excuse me while I consume your Ass...

...there just something wildly unorthodox about this and what the heck is that Jalopy?

Does anyone know what those headlights are? I would like a closeup of the park lights on the top. They may be the ones I need. Mine aren't the ones wit the land tapered metal housing like Speedway sells. The buckets don't have any marking or tag.

@The37Kid who does this remind you of?

 

Thanks Stogy. Those are definitely the ones in the picture. Mine have no ID on the bucket. One has a Guide number on the ring but not that one. I think mine were a side mount to put the signal light on top but if I mount them upright I could have the signal on the inside. At least I have something to search now.

 

Lawrence of Arabia?

 

......Judging by the Racer he's lucky to be alive...

 

There was a thread about just those very marker lights recently but couldn't find it...

...found it...note Rich B's post with resin and mold...

Saw it in New Hampshire almost 2 years ago, hope Cris still has it. Took a left and a right fender to make one. Bob

 

Is there a Tired of Homogenized Houses thread? Took Pete and his wife 40+ years to build theirs. Think of him every day. Bob

 

me too

 

That's telling me a story...parted out... maybe I'm wrong...is Chris a Hamber Bob?

 

...I believe that besides everything in this pic being extremely historically interesting the Convertible to the left may have been further altered in a Hotrod manner as it rings a bell with a few pics shared within this Thread...

This is a mix from the Breedlove group...neat shot...interesting the whited out windows...wonder what that was in context too.

...one more of the Roadster Topped Tub (Tubster)...anybody else ever seen that done? It was a first for me...

The custom on the left belonged to Gene Von Arx of the Bungholers. I don't recognize the track roadster.

 

...I believe this to be another of that Roadster and it looks to be a quality build belly panned to boot...

Thanks @SR100, I appreciate the help from you and the others in putting fact to what we are enjoying, I do my best but many times settle for just the history I'm witnessing as I discover it...sometimes that saying here "You know Vintage Hotrod when you see it" is good enough...IF more is not available...

...Bungholers yes I am familiar with that name with an Isky connection to boot...this thing is cool...and the pic I recall had no doubt Gene Standing beside hood open...and how about that a Kurtis Kraft Connection...Quality, Quality, Quality and it shows...

STILL Together! Yes, Chris is on the HAMB but hasn't posted in a while. Bob

 

...I think someone else would rather be driving...

Bowtie Power Oh Yeah!!

That's great news Bob...that thing is a gem...best news of the night...kind of cool seeing stuff come around full circle...

I wonder if he had a Thread?

Stogy, I've seen that track roadster somewhere before. I can't recall exactly where. May have been in an old hot rod building book or possibly in an early Hot Rod magazine. I'll check a few and see if I can find it.

 

Stogy, page 4 of Eugene Jaderquists The New How To Build Hot Rods book. It doesn't say who the car belonged to unfortunately, but that front nerf bar looks like it says Ray.

 

Thank you Joe, hard to believe it's in a book without a credit but you sure nailed it that's for sure...a little more put together to boot...That Name is a clue that's a given...

I can't imagine a Hotrod of that caliber without a Name Attached...we'll get it...I'm wondering if it was a Hotrod Cover Car from the early goings?
