Art & Inspiration Unusual Roadsters

You are being far too kind, there are a couple of beauties though!

 

You are correct, sir.

 

They are '60s style show rods. I am sure someone else has a better answer.

When I saw the title I thought of this one I saw in a while back. It is a '27 cowl/tub (missing the back) with a race weight bed glass bet on a T chassis. I thought it was a bit odd when I saw it but the guy who owns the beginnings of it is kind of an odd duck.



OK sorry to clutter up the thread I just thought it was kind of an unusual project. nothing to match the show rods in this thread

 

Sometimes you look at some of them, and ask yourself WHY ?

 

I think thats a GM 2.4 twin cam engine, not an Offy.

That actually is a slick little car. For me the snow plow grill shell would need to go but I have been known to go weirder than that so it is still a slick little car.

this thread got way off track starting with post #58. those belong in another thread nothin unusual about them fine cool hot rods

 

Tex Smith, Hot Rod magazine editor, XR6 built in 1962, America's Most Beautiful Roadster 1963 GNRS, AMT model kit produced. Article states that Hot Rodding headed off in the more traditional direction after this car.

 

What that needs is for both axles to be slid forward about two feet.

 

wow, - how to make a ‘32 roadster look like a British sports car.......

 

That one was local to me, built in the 60's. It's now restored, as seen in the photo, but I've never seen it in person.

 

I like this one.....

 

I guess IF we all liked the same thing........blah, blah, blah.....

 

For some odd reason, I’ve always thought this “T” is cool!

 

Cool classic!

 

I remember that. He told me he went to the custom shop and told them to stripe his car.

 

What’s the story on this one? Must have been in R&C Magazine.

 

Not a cookie cutter hot rod!

 

I'd say that they moved the back section of the T touring up by removing the rear door and the panel between the doors and reworked it a bit to get rid of the wheel wells. Looking at this fenderless touring it should be rather simple to do to get the longer roadster body. You would most likely have to take a slice out of the back panel to get it to work.
