Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

I'm not sure what the grills are. I think Ralph said one was a Pontiac but I don't know if that is what is on it now or if that what Marvin used. It was a trickster style wit the nerf bars all around. The side ones helped identify the car. I saw a front nerf bar in Ralph's shop the looks like the one in the old pictures.

 

The 1rst Shoebox

More shoe than box.

 

They hadn't gotten to the compound curve part of the curriculum yet.

 

I remember a lot about the '60s right up to Grace slicks Birthday in Golden Gate Park. My mom said, "Don't eat the watermelon honey." But she was too late.

@Stogy this one may be a little more appropriate. LOL

 

Yupp...that could inspire installing Corvair quarters on a Model A for sure...It no doubt wasn't a un-influenced decision...

 

I went to college in Oakland in the '60s so close to Berkley you could feel the teargas. It was actually against the law to dance to the music at a San Francisco concert. Golden Gate park and the Haight even shocked us and we were a small part of it. Luckily there was not much going around that Raid and Penicillin wouldn't take care of in the "summer of love". What I don't remember returns in flashbacks from time to time. The most upsetting part of the '60s is what it did to rock n' roll and hot rods.

In between the lines were some priceless gems that remain timeless to this day...I was a kid...missed the wild moments but look back through the discussion, music and visual reminders.

Each era certainly had ups and downs. Peace Man...

Quoted from story
"Talk about an interesting car. Let's start with a shortened set of Deuce rails and use the front part of a '27 body scooted rearward from the stock location.. Find one '28-'29 Cabriolet rear and trash the front and then merge together."

I tell ya Verde if I was to buy yours I would really like to clone that one above...boy I like that...those guys did a hell of a restoration on it.

​

 

I agree with you, they had a mission, knew what they wanted, and got it.

Mine would be an excellent start, NO RUST, and has a '32 Ford PU top welded on, all it needs is love and a '32 grille shell.
