hot rods, muscle cars, customs...

Torturing myself by binge watching '68 Charger vids. I've always wanted one and have always wanted to make a Pro Touring/Pro Street Charger that looks like a sleeper.

I think this owner did just that. Personally would've loved a four speed manual but hey, different purposes/tastes.

That video thumbnail makes me shudder every time I scroll past it. Anyway...

Hot Rod Magazine snagged this picture of Tom Bailey at Drag Week.

Also, they unfortunately snagged the photo in the spoiler as well....

Spoiler: Carnage

I don't consider myself to be a huge muscle car guy, but these photos make the Plymouth Satellite look sick.

It helps that its condition ranges somewhere between "factory fresh" and "freakin' mint". Japanese sure know how to preserve a good slab of Americana...

Totally dig the fact it hasn't been converted into a faux GTX.

Please have a 4-pot, please have a 4-pot, please have a 4-pot. 40hp is plenty for a roadster pickup.

These two belong to a friend of mine. He sold the roadster and it's now in Melbourne.

All original. In hindsight... going for the old film look was a bad idea. You don't get to see the glory of all red wheels!

I'll post some other prohibition era roadsters tonight.

A '67 Ford Mustang notchback from the French film, Le Marginal. Would recommend watching the chase scene, where the driver, played by actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, pursues a Plymouth Volare sedan in this aggressive looking Mustang. Do have to say that this is probably one of my favorite movie Mustangs, alongside Halicki's Eleanor and McQueen's '68 GT 390.

Here's a modern interpretation of a gow job. It was on the cover of Hot Rod or something about 10 years ago. Street driven.

Too pretty, too low. Anyway...

Nothing sounds quite like a 12-port Jimmy, regardless of the head used--it's part truck, part old Jag (pre-E). Note the backwards text for the date; original to the magazine (Car Craft), not flipped in Photoshop.

Okay, so I have a flatheads-turned-OHV fetish, and whether they're 4-pots or bent eights, I don't discriminate.

Having a '28-9 Ford RPU on Deuce rails with cycle fenders, a Hallock windshield (DuVall ShmuVall) and a Riley-headed banger is on the bucket list.

That site is the best thing on Tumblr...period. Definitely got to say there are a lot of gems on that site.

They're both absolutely stunning. Again, Deuce Shmeuce.
