Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

There was a fairly new Hotrod shared here recently with a Slotted Axle I was thinking it looked a bit weakened but evidently it's not a new trick...I'm sure it lightened them up that's for sure...those friction shocks are standouts too...

...

Period correct of course...

​

 

Must have been a rocket at one time...with a headrest of course...​

 

Good work!

...A very unique, very well done melding of Henry...ready to cut into the Dry Lakes Air...that would be a 32 Tub and a 37 Ford front done in Highboy...

Update...37 Ford Sedan modded on a 32 Ford frame...

It's a Hambers...I will provide links when I connect those dots...

@the37thstreet would be that Hamber...

Hope @AULIZ sees the blister on the hood. Haha! Looks nice!

...this Tub was shared by the Late Hamber @3wLarry as an example in his forever popular Black on Black on Black Thread...the Thread has always struggled with getting that combo right......it's still fun even with the Faux Pas along the way...

Anyone have any more shots of this standalone Hotrod?

RIP Larry...

Brian Bass posted this a few years ago... whenever I read about lightened axles this one comes to mind!

 

...Looking like a proud Land Missile this Hotrod no doubt delivered when called upon...I wonder what was under the Hood...it looks like there is no hump in the floor inside perhaps the engine and tranny are fwd giving that option as it's pretty low...

...Oh yeah that's Lightened alright......Jet have I got a dot connector to this radical Drag Hotrod...

I mentioned in a cordial way a couple of assumed typos @1-SHOT had made recently in a Thread and he sent me a friendly PM...I know he's one of those who has certainly done the walk and then some...he shared some of his good times and milestones...

He talked of his friend Smiley and low and behold that is Their Pickup they raced at Caddo Mills back in the day (57-58)...perhaps he can chime in and talk about that axle...he is a hands on builder so it would be interesting to know how that knowledge played into how far you could work it without losing critical integrity...



...Quoted below by @1-SHOT...

"Smiley in the car we drag raced at Caddo Mills in 57-58 while in high school before we put a chain driven supercharger on."

By the way Smileys still around as well...how cool is that...

Anyways...I hope he chimes in to share some more of the good times around this Wild Thing...

I would like to say to the Older Guard amongst this diverse group of Hotrod Gearheads...thank you so much for sharing these moments that were all part of the Big Picture...it truly amplifies The Greatness of the Hamb...

That thing is really cool. High school kids were different then!

I really like the dash in the roadster/coupster above. It looks like toggle switches with lights below to tell what is turned on like the tail and brake light if you're running from the law. I also like hot rods with column shift. Your honey can sit closer and do the shifting.

 

oh yeah and a padded dash at that...more cushion for the pushin!!

 

Hamber @GasGas300 has just reached a huge Milestone...His Late Dads Former Hotrod he's been resurrecting has moved under it's own HEMI power...I can imagine how pumped he is feeling...anyhow here's a couple pics...

Congratulations Gas...thank you for sharing this remarkable journey...

THANKS STOGY !!!!

 

Thanks Stogy for the compliments on my car. Here are some facts on the build. It started out as a 1937 Ford 2 door flat back. Now a tub Phaeton. The term 37deuce is that it is a two seater. We dub the car ( The 37deuce ). The body was narrowed 8 in. the wheel base was lengthened 11 inches, with 9 in. ford rear end, on Deuce rails. ford flathead 59 L With all Thickstun speed equip. The body is all 37 ford. Thanks again Stogy. View attachment 4986611 View attachment 4986615

 

Thanks 37th for chiming in, sharing more pics, the details and clarifying my mixed description...at least the frames 32......truly a unique Hotrod with one heck of a lot of well thought out well orchestrated modifications...I still can't believe how it looks like its bolting out of the driveway standing still...

...this is one of the Veteran Hambers here and I'd like him to share more of this trendsetter he piloted when Stogy was Breastfeeding...can't think of his Handle off hand but he has posted on this Thread before...he has a Lavender coloured mid to late 30s Hudson sedan or similar as his avatar...

...More Mopar...this one Caddy Powered...a moment caught...with a door closing, a rumble and some grass and dirt flying and a Smiling @Finn Jensen soon following that moment...

Finn were you aware of the Mopar Coupe Racer Flop?

I see he had turn signals or running lights attached where headlight were...Where did you run Headlights Finn?

Any more pics?
