hot rods, muscle cars, customs...

[Joey D]

So this showed up at the hotel I'm currently staying at in Bowling Green.

60-foot times?

I know 🤬 about that.

Yet you're here posting hot rod pictures. Go read about it.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Dude, just because I post hot rod pictures I know lots of it. There's plenty of hot rods I like dude.

I'll read sometime soon.

 

[Slash]

You do or you don't know a lot about it?

 

[LivingWithGames]

I don't. What I meant in my last sentence which probably didn't make much sense because I fast type without thinking is, just because I posted some nice hot rods now and then, doesn't mean I know a lot about them.

But you probably have gotten your answer in my second sentence. If I might go read about it, it means I don't know about them much. All I know they have existed practice by the 30's or 40's. Or maybe even in the 20's. It was like a whole new style for cars. When it happened, it's spread the world like a bang. In my theory, that is. Like, if you have built a hto rod or made a nice 40's or 30's ford look like one, I bet if you were in the high school, everyone would think you're one cool hell of a guy.

Needs a big block. And less chrome.

 

[Sage Ages]

Holy hell, that engine is tiny.

 

[White & Nerdy]

That's not unusual. Most of the stuff you see inside the engine bay of a modern car isn't actually the engine.

Even then, the engine seems to fill a bit more space then that. Maybe it's because the wheel wells are gone, but damn, that looks small.

Chevy small blocks are not big engines dimensionally. Neither are Fords for that matter. A fully dressed 302 is only about 18 inches wide.

On the other hand of course, if it's set up properly to run hard and with high compression, a small block can be sweet in a gasser because you can zing out the revs to make up for the lost cubes. SBC power-shifting @ 9,500 rpm = tits.

Screaming small blocks at that RPM is intense.

Though, you have not lived until you've heard a 477" big block Ford at 9,500rpm.

It is photoshopped 👍

Welcome my son. Welcome to the machine.

Shots taken by @Doog - I hope he doesn't mind too much that I'm stealing his photos to upload here.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw this today.

That 50 Ford in the last picture is insane. Got any pics of the front, @Doog?

Nope, those are the only two shots I have of it, IIRC. Haven't seen it since.

My dad is president of the photography society here in town and we hosted a photo shoot with models and some classic cars.

Here is a pic of my grandfather's 56 Ford with a mildly built SBC (specs unknown). He also owns a numbers-matching '62 Galaxie with a 292 in it, but I don't have any pics of that right now.

Tell your grand dad that that's a nice chop 👍

I'd rather tell him that I want the title to it I was hoping that he'd bring it when he came over to visit yesterday, but he brought his Astro minivan to bring his stupid dog with him
