Features Channelled Hot Rods Pic Thread

Thank you for starting and contributing to this thread. It has improved my opinion of channeled hot rods. Lately, I've seen a lot of really neat cars with great traditional hot rod potential ruined becuase of the latest trend to slam everything to the ground on a square tube frame-boring.

Hopefully, today's builders will take the proper cues for hot rods channeled the right way.

One I built. It only has a 3 3/4" channel and a 3" chop. It looks way more radical but the car is totally different than a Model A. The doors aren't as high nore is the body. It has a ton of headroom . My friend who is 6'-3" had a good 1 1/2" headroom. I'm 5'-10" and my eyesite is right in the middle of the front 6" windshield. I just fired up the Hemi last Sunday for the first time since I built it.



Low



Raised.

 

What kind of body is that?

 

It's a Whippet Coupe

 

I put a picture up from a long time ago. This is more recent.

Here is mine, still in progress

 

That's Todd/HEMI32 sitting in what was his dad's coupe (now his) when he was a kid.

 

But they didn't build super low cars in the 50s.

 

1956 Channelled a mile!!!

 

great thread, here are a couple of my favorites:

 

This one is alive and well, search for "Tuffy" by Kisam here on the H.A.M.B.

 

I wonder how the fan set up is? The centerline of the engine is above the radiator?

 

Fan - what fan; many rods did not have them back then, due to clearance problems.....
(and heavy traffic was not an issue - or so you prayed..)

I'd like to know which Maroon he used on the Coupe?

 

Ditto Ahotrod on the color. Want something similar for my cabriolet. Tim
