But the HAMB does have a custom section with lots of slammed, & chopped & metallic green machines.. if that isn't a street rod.. then what is? Not trying to disrespect anyone.. there is the "general" section called the "hokey ass message board (I know, HAMB).. I was referring to the other two sections "traditional hot rods" and "traditional customs"... a lot of modified cars there.. I am not looking for that stuff, I prefer a basically stock vehicle, with minor upgrades.. which is why I love the Barn!

Re: Deleted-Lost topic thread
Early Chop'd and channeled cars are not normally referred to as Street Rods. Street Rods are later OHV engined cars (usually SBC, but lately a lot of SBFs), Mustang II type front ends, that sort of thing. And a lot of billet aluminum, etc. To me it is fairly easy to tell the difference (at least in my own mind! ). In general pre-mid fifty's (or earlier to me) & post that era (think 60s and 70s).
Hard to beat a slammed 50s Merc, but I'm not much of a customs guy. |

https://www.kustomrama.com/index.php...%27s_1958_Ford Barris did make a lot of tv/movie clown cars, Munsters drag car. To me the others never did that. Is there some confusion between period correct and stock restoration going on here. Ya maybe. Last edited by Tinker; 03-02-2018 at 10:15 PM. |

Vintage Copper,
What happened with the 41 Ford Super Deluxe that you were looking at on the V8 Forum? I notice it had a similar paint scheme as your 47. |

Re: Deleted-Lost topic thread
To me, and you can roast me, what makes this place special is the guys that can rattle off ford part numbers for a ford 34' tudor radiator bolt. Amazes me anyway.
I think flathead 4&8 ford hop ups are also right on. Not that anyone gives a poop what i say Last edited by Tinker; 03-02-2018 at 11:15 PM. |

Re: Deleted-Lost topic thread
It could be that the deletion of the thread started by "Vintage Copper 47" was due to my response to "Walt's" question about how to add a AT column to an old Ford, and the pix' I attached showing a tilt column and a aftermarket banjo wheel in my '39. The second pix showed the interior of my '36 Ford with a chrome dash and a column gear shift on the left side of the column.
As the old car hobby has evolved in the last ten to twenty years, a new phraseology has emerged to describe cars like my '39 convertible, "Resto-Mod".. This terminology is generally used to describe vehicles that still retain their original look, but have improved mechanical components for reliability and safety. In the case of my '36 Ford, yes, almost every mechanical part in the car is '40-48 Ford which have all been bolt-in applications. The only welding ever done to the chassis is to simulate the rivets that attached the '40 steering gear mount to the frame. I wonder, just how many '36 Ford 5 win cp's exist today that still have all of their original glass, upholstery, accessories, etc., and have only been repainted the original color once? I would venture the guess that if all of the questions related to modifications to an Early Ford were eliminated from the Barn, the contributions/questions would be cut at least in half.

Re: Deleted-Lost topic thread
My original topic was for advice on buying a car for daily driver.. Sadly that purchase won't happen for at least a year.. unless I get a car that was donated to me...
