pics of Rocky's new Poncho coupe........

Great start for your latest project...lowered, wide whites, etc. What's the motor going to be, the original 6?

 

I'll keep the original flathead 6 for awhile anyway.It may get a homemade header/tubular intake setup. 455/4 speed later on is not outa the question.

 

Rocky, my first car was a 41 Pontiac Silverstreak with the 6 cyl.
You are right, the 41's did have chrome grilles, and the wide chrome strip in the center of the hood. the Silferstreak had a wide chrome strip down the trunk lid.

Cool find.

I think I'll do simple blade type 42-48 chevy bumpers on it, tucked in close to the body.

Does Deniese still have a set of smooth bumpers for sale?

 

Rocky, I bet Cleatus could give you some ideas.

That is one sweet car Rocky! So you gonna drive that up to 50's or what???

 

Great find Rocky! It looks like it's in really good shape, even the interior!
I think it needs a 389 with a tripower and a stick!
Tman sounds like he's green with envy!!

 

Now that you have this - are you going to part with the Rambler? - huh huh huh - pant pant pant - are ya Rocky?

 

I dunno, I'm in agreement with the T-dude. Right now, that car is oogly! It's gonna be pretty but it'll take a bit of time and work. The silver painted grille and bumpers are too much for me. They're ugly and will be delt with harshly and quickly....
And the God-awful ride height! I'll need bottled oxygen in the car with me at that altitude. It needs a thorough cleaning and spiffing too. I refuse to be seen in it until these issues are resolved. The wheels and tires are an emergency too....no skinny, tall weatherchecked bias plys for me, thank you'se. I'd like to install a set of 15X7's with appropriate bigs and littles with the original pontiac center caps after a thorough slamming.....and the cracked/scuffed side glass will be resolved immediately, if not sooner.

 

Dixiedog.....I sold the Rambler to Fatasswhitewalls at the HAMB drags last summer. Haven't heard a word about it since. Check with him, it may be for sale again...

 

I think it went on Ebay for something like $12,000.00

 

Drop it and shave off the gingerbread.

 

Make it all black- bumpers and grille hell everything!You'll be the envy of all the AMISH RODDERS.....ZZ YODER-thats what they'll call ya..... [Oh-I like it].....

 

Bet you will have it on the road before the snow melts. HRP

 

Looks good, Rocky. Drop the crap otta it, original cap, and drive the b-jesus out of that thing!!

 

Surf Monkey has it going on!~........that's a sled for tarmac surfing

 

Sweet ride Rocky!!
O.K.......I'll be the second one to tell you....
YOU SUCK!!!
