r2d2 Diggin' thru my "Bone Yard", I found what I thought might be a good "contender in a baggy". Built as a "Hot Rod" about 45 yrs ago ( 4rr ), I think it's time to revive this one !!!!!![]() PS: That's not added weathering..........that's natural dust & rust !!! PPSS: And still some vintage stuff for the parts box ! Now that's recycling !!!! |

Doesn't look like it will be too difficult. In reality, the only difference was the grill opening and the front fenders. Add a little plastic here, take a little plastic there. You know the routine. r:r |

YEAH MO......... The "later versions" (like they built out of the "40 body" cars) were basically a "remove the fenders", GUT the car, type of build.......... I have one that's "similar" except for the "pavement" tires and rims........ As a matter of fact, I started to use this one for the "winning number" but then changed my mind................ ![]() ........................................................................................................................ The type (like this one), when the "aftermarket safety hub" type rims, racing tires, multi-carb engines were used, THEN BECAME THE "HOT-ROD JALOPY" at those tracks using that "designation" for the class, at many others, they were starting to call them either "Modifieds", "Hardtops", or "Sportsmans"........which a few years later (in our area) had then "evolved" into the "Sportsman Modifieds"........... GOOD LUCK, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR PROJECT !!!!!!!!! rlr rlr DJ |

NOW THAT'S COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!! For AS MUCH AS I LOVE RACING.........it's really QUITE A SHAME that so many of these old cars "gave up their life" on the racetracks........... Oh course, what is a MUCH BIGGER SHAME, is HOW MANY MORE OF THEM ended up "going thru a crusher"......... DJ |
