That Boss 429 is kickass.

Anyone else like looking at abandoned race tracks? No idea why I find them cool. Maybe because of the history.

I find abandoned racetracks depressing.

 

[Slash]

I do, but I think they are cool at the same time.


Also, this is my local race track that I hang out at every Wednesday and a lot of the stuff we get here. I have hundreds of videos and thousands of pictures of this place, but these are Bangshift photos. I have a lot of these cars on video including the stretchy truck.

:0 that thing is impossibly bad-ass!!!

Sorry to slow down the pace....


We goin' low and slow... in the Candian Mercury Monarch

I normally would say very low cars would be questionable but...

This thing caught my vision. Sure, rauise that thing a little and I'm driving that thing. Not bad.

Hooooly....

@Cano That one above is up your alley, sir!

_____

Fricking hell, give this man a medal. Just, please.

Totally want. So much want.

_____

Okay. I'm impressed. I still don't like lowriders much but this guy wins.

Damn dude.

__________

Okay, I might get hate and want to put this on questionable but this...is...well, new.

"Blind Faith" Eh? Seem right...but I like the idea.

__________

Gonna risk it, I might get shouted at but I think it's alright. I like it.

__________

Wow.

Oh my.

Up my alley indeed, it's amazing how well the '60 Mercury grille blends with the '59 Chevy front.

Also, Hirohata Merc!

Screw it, risking it, I bet some will like but most won't but it counts as a rod anyway.

Here's some info on the car aswell the original website that has it and others. https://fazemanstudios.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/bugsplat-1969-custom-vw-beetle/

Mercury Grille on a '59 El Camino? Delicious.

I'm writing my history thesis on hot-rodding, and will likely continue the study throughout graduate school. There's nothing out there in academia.

But this.

Eeeew, hideous Volks Rod. Idiotic all the way.

Ask away whatever you need, I might be able to help you out 👍

Match made in heaven.

And this is what is powering it

That might be the ultimate (serious) take on the "Explosive Pinto" idea. Shoving a Boss engine on a Pinto's bay... Godamm!

Let's just say that the size of those rear tires is more than adequate.

 

[Slash]

I've seen many V8 swapped Pintos (actually very popular to do) but Boss powered ones are sweet.

It is common, eh? You learn something new every day (need to brush up on my 'Murican car knowledge ). A Boss-powered Pinto looks like a major hassle to do, but the reward is imense when you can actually have a bad-ass Pinto. 👍

A lot of people stick to your typical engines...302's, 351's, even big block 429s or 460s.

So your classical Ford blocks, got it. Most of the time, it is easier to source a crate engine like a 302 than finding such a big block like the Boss. At least I think.

A lot of people pull junkyard motors and build those up. I have also seen LSx style engines in Pintos, as well as Chevy small blocks.

Thank you. Can I upload PDFs? I have a TON of scans from Hot Rod on microfilm between 1948 and 1955. Some of the lakesters are crazy. One was a pontoon, connected by the axles, Merc 286 in one, driver in the other.

I think you can indeed upload .PDfs but you can't embed them on the posts, just paste the links.

Alright, friends. The Library of High-Test is open for business. I'll be hitting a few every few hours. Some were sideways. Didn't want to get nasty PMs or anything.

Yeep, I knew it. I failed again.

I thought it looked cool and risked it but I knew there was gonna be another failure of a post.

See, Canno. I do tend to like questionable cars, I have no cure.
