That was a painful read....................

 

x2

but if i had to type up that story in swedish it wounldnt be much better. haha

 

neat old hot rod.

 

Those old East Coast rides have their own flavor.
The frame modification you are talking of is simply a good old-fashioned "ZEE"ing of the frame, that is, you make a 45 degree cut through the frame with upper cut being the rearwardmost of the cut points. Then the rear of the frame is placed on top of the front section lining up the cuts directly with each other. This lowers the forward part of the frame the thickness of the frame rail. Plates are welded on inside and outside of this joint and the open ends of the rails capped for a very strong joint.

 

Dusters, Thats a Great find!
Hopefully, someone from the Long Island area remembers this treasure and will respond with some history.

 

Very good find and I hope someone can provide additional information.

 

I like what I see here but in looking it over and what I see, that may be all there is to it. To me it looks like one of those that never got any further than what you have. If othing shows up soon I'd just take it from where it is and do it in Old Flavor your own way. I just have trouble getting my head around anyone taking a complete car back to un-finished welds. Chassis not compleated, Body not sitting correctly on the frame. Personally I just think you made a good score on some Tin sitting on a Chassis.

More fotos !!

 

Very nice! Olds Rocket.

 

Wow. I will remember the dash and look for that as I peruse ancient east coast rod magazines. Enloe on here is a dealer and has lots of the '50's-'60's east coast magazines, which are filled with cars with these sorts of modifications and amazing farmer welding!

 

Holy cow, I guess they didn't bother with the box plates on the ZEE joint up east.

 

Those welds were sold by the foot in the JC Whitney catalog so that people without welders could just install them with Elmer's Glue!

 

I think I see now what happened to the rear wheel to body fender line. To Z the frame it looks to have been cut and stacked then moved forward to have a good overlap for the weld joint. Maybe just un-do it and get the stock wheel base back.

Geezzz, Check this out closely. It appears to have full stock rear frame horns and another 32 K member. You scored good my friend.

It seems that the car has been ready once upon a time, because all the fuel lines and electrical systems are still there, the tank is also retained. But I can not be sure. It might have been a drag racing car? I can not see any sign of an rollbar, but you never know.

 

Two frames? I guess they weren't looking to save weight.

 

Wow, I remember when that roadster was for sale...you bought it from Ron, right?

That car is so cool!!!... I wanted to buy it so bad....poor timing, I'd just bought something else and I was broke...that's the way it always goes...

I think about that car all the time...man I have the worst timing ever....


It sounds like you really appreciate the car for what it is...a REAL
OLD HOT ROD!...

glad to see it went to someone who understands how cool of a car that is...


hope you can find some history on it...

if you get tired of that car, you're welcome to drop it off at my house!!!

 

Hey the wheels are in the correct position, It has the correct wheelbase.
