Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives Show off your hot rods!

It's gettin' to be that time of year. I'm getting the itch to work on the hot rod.

Here are a few pics of my 1955 F-100. It is in dire need of another resto, and it will be getting it this season.

351 Windsor. Looks much better now, but not running so hot yet for some reason.

What about the Merc near the dog?

That's my old man's. 54 Merc./292 Y block/ 3 speed. I don't know if I have a better pic of that or not. I could fill this thread with his stuff. It's cooler than mine.

I'll dig for a pic.

Nice rides Tzone.Pretty cool stuff that old iron ain't it.I still perfer it to most modern stuff today.

I like em. Even the vintage Chevy's.

The rest of them are my dad's. I'm debating taking the stacks off the '55. they are hard to keep clean, and they rattle a lot. The problme is, if I do, I'll have a hole in a set of $700 running boards.

My '85 535i

Daily driver




Wifey's 540i 6 speed

Badger,

Was 1985 a good year for bimmers?

I thought so . Also one of 3 year models for the M635, a grey market variant of the US model M6 that was lighter, had more horsepower, and is a lot more desirable than the US version.

I was gonna give you crap about the 85 and say, hey that's not old enough to be a hot rod.....then I realized how long ago 1985 was... gettin old sucks.

Good looking cars.

Truck...




4 wheeler...



Nice days ride...





Then, of couse my favorite, a 40 year love affair with my high school cruiser...

1937 Olds Opera Coupe, 327 Chevy V8, Turbo 400

I like the "goat". Cool

68 Plymouth Roadrunner, built 440 (I eventually put a highrise dual 4 bbl setup on it and ran without the hood).

Tubbed, 9 inch 3500 rpm stall converter with a built 727 torquflite tranny.

Ran about 600 hp......and would light those big back tires up easy.

looks noisy...

do you have to roll the windows up to keep it from twisting in half?

Here's some of our stuff.

I was out in the shop today working on this one. my daughter's car, 1965 mustang coupe. A code 289 (factory 4 barrel)auto trans.

I'm getting the power steering in order right now. Someone tossed out the original pump, pump bracket & cut the hoses & left the power assist valve & cylinder in place, probably 20 years ago.

I have a new control valve & center link on the way, I should have it Wed. I rebuilt the power assist cylinder today.

Everything else joint & bushing wise up front is new. She'll be a tight driver when i get it back together.

I'll start stripping the paint off of it next week & starting body work. It'll be painted & on the road in a short time. I'll probably post the body & paint work as a project with my daughter "weezy".









Here's another in my shop. 66 chevy caprice with a 327/powerglide.

This was our daily driver when me & pam were married in 92.

It remained our daily driver up until around 96.

it needs to be gone through, mostly body & paint. I'd hop in it & drive in anywhere right now.



some junk outside the shop.

64 ford galaxie 500xl, 390 with a toploader 4 speed. rough body.



54 chev 210 delray. straight 6, 3 in the tree.

it runs, all this stuff runs.
