    Some of those cars had a hatch between the trunk and drivers compartment so that a traveling salesman could roll out a bed and sleep while in the middle of nowhere.

    Very nice. I love everything about it including the visor. I also love the no hubcap look! If it were mine I'd keep the visor and lose the hubcaps. What's the mill?
     
  7. I was loving it right up to the point you hurt my feelings :D lmao! Killer car, great stance, love the visor!

    I c
    ould argue the point forever and would never win. The truth is, a traditional hot rod is a Ford. Yes, I am aware of Bob Rufi. Wayne Horning, Chet Herbert and others ho championed other makes but it all pretty much began when a guy stripped down a 5 dollar Model T and tried to save up for a RaJo head. I'm sure some yahoo sent off to JC Whitney for a mini supercharger and stuck it on his 41 Dodge and swore that it would do a hunnert and fiddy MPH and 35 MPG to boot. Like COEs and Divcos it still ain't a trad rod. Makimgs of an era correct custom? Yessiree

    Maybe its the self leveling concrete...:D...that would make for a WTF moment or two...:eek:...I ave...:confused:...have heard of transverse leaf Fords having leans that you can adjust by taking a corner and putting your weight on it...My A Sport Coupe has a tilt to one side quite regularly...

    Could it be a shorter or weaker coil?

    I am not a Mopar fan, but I have always liked that bodystyle. It makes a perfect canvas for a custom.

    Perhaps a previous owner was a very large person contributing to a lean ?
