Daily Driver Hot Rods

hey just wanted to know if there are people that drive their hot rods on a daily basis that have only windshields, rusty bodies, bomber seats, pretty much hardcore bare bones hot rods.

 

NO! we only build them to look at...didnt you hear?...

 

alright i may have sounded stupid, but i was talking with someone and they think that not that many people drive hot rods daily to work and such, and have new cars on the side to drive, while the hot rod sits in the garage. i know that everyone here builds to drive, i just wanted to show this person wrong.

 

my avatar is my daily driver

 

what do you do if its raining??

 

What is rain? drove my 60 Ranch Wagon (no AC) every day till I sold it. plan on driving my coupe every day once its done.

 

Drive FASTER! The NW needs more roadsters.

 

I did not build this car! But I do drive the piss out of it. I just got back from Oklahoma where it rained every stinkin day.

Its still raining!!!

I think what the original poster wanted to know is who doesnt drive a non-hamb friendly car on a daily basis.

 

I drive mine every single day. Rain, shine whatever. I even drove through a tropical storm coming back from last years HAMB Drags..



You gotta be carefull if you drive em...some dipshit might rearend you on teh way to work..


Oh well you fix em and drive em some more.

-Abone.

 

I have road in Abones sedan in the rain on many occassions.

if it rains,you do not melt.. you may get a little wet.. I know I got more wet in my unchopped sedan then I do in FlamedAbones but you will get a spray when you turn the tires..

 

I only used it once in Oklahoma but I use th' hell out of it in Phoenix!

 

I drive mine every day that its not raining out. My new Ford Ranger sets in the driveway all summer and doesn't get used. Don't believe in that rusty crusty shit, though!!!

 

Jeff, do you get rear-ended in all of your cars??? i drive my roadster everyday.

 

I drive mine almost everyday. No stereo no air conditioning I just push the windshield out to the first notch and let the quick change sing to me.

 

I just asked a similar question. I know the tried and true drive them til the wheels fall off. I just dont see how someone could have a sweet ride sitting in the garage all the time. I know H.A.M.B members are drivers..............

 

You better stop hanging around these guys, your starting to write like them!

 

I drive mine pretty much every day. Now that my station wagon is toast, the hot rod is my only running car!

 

Nice pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Fix your speedometer !

 

Mine is a daily driver, but my commute is only 6 miles round trip.

 

I drive the little yellow coupe on the left just about every day to work. Its a driver, not a show car, and was built to be driven.

 

My Avatar is the car that I drive the most, and if I'm not driving that then I'm in my '54 chevy pick up.

 

The good old British weather don't stop us

 

I bought an old pick-up from Diamond Daves dad,to drive back and forth to work while I work on my Merc. But it's been givin me trouble,so i'm back to drivin the Merc to work. It's only 11 miles though.

 

I have three cars, a 97 Ford Expedition (shop truck) I or my guys only use to haul heavier stuff, a 1952 Ford Panel truck I use ocasionally to haul stuff and then there is my "hybrid" 25 miles a gallon home built hot rod, that I drive every day, I call the Boattail, come hell or high water. Lucky me it has not rained this year yet in SOCAL.

 

Dreadman, any more pics of your car? Way cool!

 

That thing is way too KOOL

 

My avatar (28 A Roadster) is also a regular driver-probably gets used every other day except in the dead of winter or if I am out of town. And its a four banger and it has mechanical brakes and I drive in suburban Detroit traffic!!!!!

 

I drive my 46 chevy pickup every day. The batteries in my other cars have all gone dead becasue I don't drive 'em anymore.
A/C? Nah, thats' why we have cowl vents and push-out windshields! Rainex instead of wipers too, although I will install a wiper motor before winter hits and yes, I'll drive it all winter too.
