how they were built in the late 50's ...... channeled 32 3 window

here is some pics o a channeled 32 3 window that was built back in the late 50's. i think these pics show how thw average guy built a hotrod then. we think this 3 window had a pontiac in it . 40 ford dash . aluminum firewall. enjoy the pics

 

awesome!

 

In 1975 I had a 32 5 widow that was set up much the same way but it was also chopped. It too was a late 50's early 60's hot rod
Frame was Z'd about six inches in the rear. Body was channeled the depth of the frame rails. Top was chopped about three inches. Still set up for a flathead.
Time came when circumstances forced me to sell it and the guy that bought it told me he was gonna turn it into a "real" hot rod like the you see in the magazines. This was in 1979-80, Street rod prime time.
I still have regrets about selling that one.

 

great pictures, thanks for sharing

 

that kicks ass..

 

That looks stupid! ... Why would anyone want to ruin a perfectly good Deuce by channeling it?

 

pot calling kettle black?

 

It must be a street rod because it has a dual master cyl.







oh, wait a minute.., one side is da clutch

 

Channelled? Bobbed horns? Chopped grill shell? No GUIDES?? How gauche. Thats not how traditional rods are build nowadays...

 

I always liked the Big diamond tuck upholstery!

 

super cool

 

Cool car! We need to build more in this traditional style.

 

Magazines have a lot to answer for!!
