History Are These Old Rod Pics HAMB Friendly?

Wer did an ongoing '70s thread a year or so back that had some really corney '70s stuff in it. It also had some tastefully built rods in it as well, like the ones you have posted. I am not large and in charge but I am willing to look and not bitch too much.

here is a thing to remember in the '70s not everyone built "'70s" cars. There were a lot of people that were building with the older fellas cast offs and their cars were sort of traditional to transitional in nature. Outside of the biox there were lots of cars built that were drop dead gorgeous.

The guy in the back has cuffs. LOL. Rolling your chinos when they are too long will never go out of style. I bought lots of jeans from the good will in the '70s that I had to roll. Seems like lots of us bought our cloths from a thrift store in that era.

 

Great pics. Not many pro cars then and except for T buckets ,there were few store bought parts. Sometimes the thing I miss most, is talking to the owner who also built the car.

 

A couple of the t-buckets really knock me out. Really liked the black one with the sbf and tripps as well as the red one with the injected poncho.

 

Are there any close-ups of this car?

So much great stuff, I rounded up quite a few pics from this time period that got lost in a hard drive crash *snif* so thanks for posting these!

I take it this is the O/P's dads car? A sbf with a v6-71 with dual q-jets! Thats not something you see every day!

 

REALLY hoping theres more pics of that lime gold bob-tail t with the chromies and white t&r. Ring any bells with anyone? Looks like a Weezner drawing come to life. It would have been a pretty dated car in the seventies, I would guess it was probably upwards of ten years old at the time that photo was shot.

 

'33 Plymouth 4 door sedan, I think.

 

x2! please post more!

Don't Know Where The Picture Was Taken At But Looking At The 32 Chopped Sedan In Picture #2 Is Garey ( Center) & Alice Roberts, Have No Idea Who The 3rd Person Is.

 

This car was built by Andy Brizio and was imported to England years ago. It is still around now.

Mart.

 

Great pics! That first pic is my mom & dad talking with a friend, & the 3w is a friend who still has it. My dad built the sedan from the ground up, chop, paint & all. It was the family sedan from 1969 to near present, a friend owns it now. Here are the pics of how it evolved over the years, with the last pic of how it is today.

 

Is this the same car your dad hit a dear in when your mom was asleep? HRP

 

No. This is a different car, before & after. He still has this one.

The pic with your mom and dad was 1971 Wheeling W.Va (Ogleby park) rod run. I have more pics of the car

 

Rolling wet dream right here fellas..classic shot too with the gas station..Sunoco 260 Action

 

This car reminds me of a Lindbergh or Aurora Model kit from the early to mid 60's

 

This channeled Model A is pretty neat too.

 

This car still looks like this..saw it at a show a few years back..never changed or updated. Paint was still decent

 

...No gray beards in any of these photo's either...they were busy lambasting us for "butchering" the stockers...

 

Here is a local (Concord NC) car built in 1970. It was allowed to rot outside for years. The guy recently wanted $3000 for it. We went to get it and it was SOLD!! He said the guy bought it, put in a runner and sold it for $9500. Its just weird enough to have been cool.

 

that is a great car and shot...love to have that car now.

 

A lot of the were built in a one car garage

A lot of these cars were built in one car garages by some guys who were fresh home from the jungle. Pretty amazing efforts considering.

 

True. Must be a low day here you are-9 year old post.
