Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

The virus has us virtually shut down
It’s a pile of parts in storage

 

@Stogy -that looks like a four, and an absolute beauty of a roadster!

 

It is, look for more from Eddie he has been looking at getting into some family albums...his Grandpa and perhaps his Great Uncle were on the Dry Lakes with many of those names that kicked the dust in the late 40s such as Multi Aldrich and Barney Navarro, Bernie Couch, Powell Dickerson...

The Orkin commercial Roadster.

 

...I was pretty sure it was the one that I remember seeing with them Rodents in it (it's in this thread) BUT I didn't know it was a commercial...that looks like a super bowl special...thanks for sharing that Fatass...​

 

...these E & J's really look good on 33/34s...shhhhhhh...don't tell anyone...

...Hamber @bigboar acquired this many moons ago...He had a Hot smallblock to pop into it...I guess it's long gone...maybe not...I wonder if it was returned to Drag Duty...

Perhaps it's been shared here in a Thread in its Heyday...its funny Bigboar said they drove it on the street popping wheelies......hoodlums...

Anyways enjoy

That's great- Haven't seen that particular commercial!

 

Tractor shell and possibly radiator in front of crossmember with a what looks like a Model A hood over a MOPAR tube axle.

I discovered that if you take the back of a T touring body and a 28/29 cowl, they line up pretty decent. It's a good way to get a little extra leg room with cast-off parts (model A cowls are easier to find than Model A bodies out my way).

Is this your car? Can you tell me more about the sources of the windshield and frame?

 

No Choppy it's a net find...Someone here perhaps will chime in with those details...it really has a early Hamb feel to it...

Duvall or Hallock come to mind and I always get them mixed up...they are certainly both very Traditional options for so many Hotrod/Customs

There are a few reproducing these...possibly O'Brien Truckers the ones that make the toppers...I think might be one...Anyone?

Update...definitely Hallock original or Reproduction

O'Brian does make them and Alliance Members may get a discount that more than pays for your membership...

One thing to keep in mind is the cowl may need rework to make it all work...there are a number of threads on these if you search...

Yeah...must have been just after the race he lost...they were tough times back then, smiles were probably not always plentiful...

​

 

Thanks @jHansen, yes I followed that pic back to a historic archive I bet that was there...its the real deal...and yes it is customized oh yeah!! Thanks, Altamonte, famous rock concert Stones...

He actually looks to have made it into a Pickup of sorts it seems and I'll bet got the Hoodlum stepping on the pedal on that dirt path...wonder what year...dirty 30s?

 

Those historic sites have some incredible history archived not much Hotrod but some...I had problems navigating that site but this TubTruck with its Jalopy presence surely rolled down the open road with the pedal to to metal bringing on the need for speed...Herb must have cracked a smile or two...

 

I am actually a little surprised I don't see this method employed more often with bodies that are "too far gone" or "parts cars" honestly. Sectioning a body by just cutting the cancer off the bottom would be a great way to make a pretty radical car without turning it into as much of a restoration project.

...This Hotrod shared by @Moriarity Challenged norms...the look of reflection was probably an unintended interesting anomaly but there's really two engines and putting that on cycle rims with no front brakes was a surely a weighty decision...hope it had a chute...maybe not...it sure had the look...
