Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

I would grab that hemi as quick as I could then

I entertained the thought of a hemi when I was building my dragster but I soon realized I could either spend money on a complete engine thats been sitting outside in the dirt under a tarp for 30 years or buy a 1000HP capable SBC rotating assembly. I chose the rotating assembly.

Here's the grill, which now looks like a 51 with the little vertical bars there:

 

Once the snow is gone I'm going for it, if only for yard art at least it's not in the scrap.

That Chev is definitely a 51!

 

yeah id go for it. I mean id get it just for the valve covers, I always loved those. id pull that 51 as well. those make some awesome kustoms

 

Holy shit! "Milk truck wheels" in their natural habitat!!!

Snag those and get 'em on Ebay - FAST!!!!

rolleyes:)

 

Spotted them north of Sturgeon Bay while on our holiday , someone else can reap the wealth that lives closer I am from Manitoba might be hard to make it work .

Beyond sitting and rotting .....

I posted a thread about these but it got pulled for being O/T. At least a couple of these cars look '50s or '60s for sure, especially the two white ones on the left - smaller one could be a Rambler or Falcon wagon; the larger one may be a late '50s Ford or early '60s GM convertible:

They're in the Mojave Desert at 35.134258 N 115.209585 W, about 1/2 mile from the nearest road.

This is a traditional hot rod?

 

I did not know they had to be traditional hotrods to be sitting and rotting.

 

They certainly have not been, any old carcass has made it before, I say keep it that way!
