rusty rides,....who's got 'em

awesome!

what kinda of ags mileage you get with that puppy?

 

I've added some weight, so milage will probably suffer.

 

wow! that's gonna look bad! good luck with it! can't wait to see it rollin'!

 

I'm a believer in screw the cosmetics, get it running first, and forget about the cosmetics.

I took almost everything off the Falcon to get the Comet going and hopefully make improvements. I should be taking the Comet for my first drive today! The Falcon has it's original paint. The Comet was repainted by someone, the rear fender lips are rusty, but I don't mind. The chain is more rusty than the Huffy's frame.

Thanks,
Kurt

 

yea, i'm trying....i do like the cosmetics...with my car, i don't care too much about paint and surface rust...but i've got some rust through, thats what bothers me...but i'll to get it after she's a driver.

dig the car and the huffy!

 

I too was horny to get mine on the road. I could care less what the body looked like. I wanted to cruise. So you want rust....take a gander at the Floater.

badass!!!

 

I love it!

 

Cowl, rockers, doors, fenders, quarters, floors.. even some frame rot. You name it, she's got it. Classic '57 Mopar.

 

SWEET!

 

Buy it, I need some space in my garage.

 

hehe, i don't know if i think its that "sweet"...i think its the blue that kills it for me
and my '53 would get jealous....heh.

take care. dig the ride.

 

As soon as this crappy weather blows out of Georgia, I'll post some pics...

 

Here is my 32 Tudor rusto rod...

 

Love em all .....

 

My '54 with a lil' red on the head.

 

I like this pic. Dig them skinnies.

 

looks like the passenger has never been in a hot rod before.

 

here's my daily driver...here in AZ we're spoiled with rust free cars.....only rust i can find on this 61 is in the trunk....some small pin holes...i just repowered it wth a 413 ...

 

Yeah, and I think you have a rim caught under your oil pan, dragging that thing around will probably hurt your gas milage too.

got rust.

"Air weighs less than metal" is the motto with one of my cars...

 

not much rust, just a little sunburn. working on making it go and stop before i even think about making it pretty.


this is her good side

 

Plenty of rust in the cab corners and along the hood front, around the bed, etc. Has the original 272 Y-Block and still hauls ass!

 

I sprayed primer on mine. I was tired of looking at the rust.

 

My 37' Cab is a little rustier than that one, but the lack of floors/rockers/lower doors forced me to cut about 7 inches off the bottom.

 

Wanna send one up my way?

 

does this fit the bill.....

 

There does seem to be alot of 36-37 chevy trucks being built right now, I thought I was doing something different. Oh well, heres mine.

 

More beater's PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!

 

I read something somewhere where someone said that a each wrinkle in an old persons face is an experience, some happy some sad, in their life that they had survived. I kinda view the rust on my Ponch the same way. I know not a lot of people on this site are in this to "restore" their rides. Gett'em runnin and on the road, and if there is any money left get the modifications you want done. You can see in the second pic that the floor is rusted through. One of the car's previous owner screwed heavy gauge metal into the solid part of the floor and frame. Is it perfect? Hell no. But does it keep me from dropping my beer onto the roadway as I head down the way? Assolutely.
