Nice car wow bet that gets some looks .
And i know that the hotrods would be built with a hoter engines in the mix. But im going with what i got in the spirit of the old days . And in the way it was around here you used what you got and ya its a old farm aa motor . Tired and weak but like a little kid to me it has all the power in the world . My hot rod a not how it was back then with parts and stuff but still fun and thats what counts for really when the funs gone ......
I was being facetious. I am lucky enough to live in the Hot Rod capital, at least in cars per capita. Our friend Doug has said the old school stuff is gone, and that "we" (60 year olds) are the new "flat head" guys. Where I live, the old flat head guys are still around, still messing with cars, still drinking beer and doing burn outs in neighborhoods. There are at least 25 hot rod clubs in this town, none of them allow cars newer than 1972. Our largest car show is 800 cars, and there are probably 50 shows per year in the area.
What I liked about that 33, is that it's a five window, it's a steel, original car, and it is channeled. No one channels anymore, and the owner did the entire car in his garage, despite battling illness.
My father grew up doing what you are doing right now, with the A's and the tractor parts. That is why I made the hay stacker reference. As a kid, we'd visit a lot of the different farms in the state right next to you, where we lived and everyone had a chassis of some kind with a fork or a rake on it.
I have my own muscle car and my bikes and karts, but the other day, my wife and I were underneath her Pontiac dropping the fuel tank to change the fuel pump, and then the plug wires, and a helicoil in a plug hole, because that stuff ripped and stripped removing it to check for fuel and spark during troubleshooting. It's a 2004 car with 130K on it. It is virtually worthless, but it is a matter of pride to keep it running, keep it looking nice, (I ran the cutting compound and polish on it the other day) and not discarding it. Just because I can. So yeah, I get it. :thumbsup:
