Projects SUPERMODIFIED, Wisconsin, Circa 1958

I had a thread on this build 2 years ago. I quit on it while I built the 27 hot rod with the 25 turtle deck. I guess the SM thread was deleted. Back on this build full speed ahead.

 

Love your builds and this car. Just like the ones I saw race in Waukegan and Hales Corner by guys like Miles Melius and Johnny Reimer. Gary

The hood is almost done. Needs some fine tuning on the right side.

Finishing the welding. The body is painted. All removable parts are chrome plated. I thought I would build this car in 3 months. Has taken 3 years. POWDER COATED FRAME/CAGE

That car would fit in very well at Balboa Stadium San Diego with the SDRA and the Modified Sportsman division from 1958 to 1961.

 

grew up thinking super modifieds were about the baddest-ass circle track cars on the planet..............nice to see nuthin's changed.

 

Now get that thing on a trailer this summer and head to Wisconsin ......or Knoxville for vintage days and make some noise ! and throw some dirt up against the cushion !! Have fun

 

I didn't want a fancy number to be the focal point.

Absolutely Fabulous! As you know, these are the kinds of supers I saw race when I was a kid at Waukegan and Hales Corners. But they never looked this good. A3 / Reimer was my hero.

 

Also, love the Casper art work. I just has to have a cartoon character, eh?
