True crazy hot rodding in 1958 resulted in this mid engined 23 Ford on 32 rails with a 51 Hemi... and the driver sitting down in the engine bay, looking through a clear plexi grill
Haters gonna hate, especially when it's the rich vs poor who hot rod and win the Pikes Peak race with a hot rod Model T in 1922, with only a 4 banger and some new Firestones (the most expensive things on the car)
Hot rods were built with some strange and unusual things that were easy to come by like military surplus
Scheifer's roadster, once front engined, built in the late '40s, was constantly modified. This was one of the first direct drive cars, and the first modified roadster to hit 150mph, at Paradise Mesa.
Don Ferguson rebuilt Ardun powered, S.CO.T supercharged, Gene Winfield painted deuce roadster that was the Apr 1964 Hot Rod centerfold
Still in business, based in Chicago. My 1971 LeMans has a set of 17's on it - superb and priced nice.
Lunch wagons, King's lunch wagon concession outside the Warner Brothers lot, where Bette Davis ordered fried potatoes. King mentioned that one of his lunch wagons appeared in the 1932 film "I am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang."
Jack Chrisman's daily driver '29 sedan was a sleeper beast that turned 129 MPH back in 1954, dusting all comers in the A/Fuel Coupe and Sedan class at the drags. Part of its coolness was the blanked out grill insert done by Von Dutch in Kenny's early days of pinstriping experimenting.
