The Official Hot Rod Thread

As with anything, it's all about the prep work. Sometimes I feel that I spend too much time in pre-paint prep, but it all shows after the clear goes on.

I love white cars. To me they just mean business.

I'm a sucker for an all white car with blacked out wheels. No graphics, no stripes, no badges.

Just business.


White is also the most functional color-- helps shed heat and can show you source of leaks!

I have posted this car before but it just seems like a good time to do it again

I'll try to post pics later of the car that is the reason for me doing what I do. I've only ever heard stories and seen a handful of pics of it, but it's white. My dads first car, has nothing to do with me, but if it wasn't for that car he wouldn't do what he does and therefore I wouldn't be doing the same thing.

Swap IROC wheels out for some all-black 10-holes and I'm drooling even more!

Any of you old farts remember these? I restored this a few years back and it's been hiding in the shop since. Rearrangement recently brought it out.

White and black is a sexy combo... I really want to build a Chevelle, paint it white and use a flat clear.

The Irocs were the only real option I had to get the tire I wanted under that car without doing a mini-tub to it.
Hotchkis trailing arms and sway bar. Poly bushes throughout. Fat jack "A" arms and front sway was a Guldstrand if memory serves. Guldstrand did the springs and shocks. Damn thing was a slot car if you could control the power.

No sir, and it's owner would be upset for anybody suggesting so. That man has sent more Snap-On guys into retirement than he would care to admit.

I'm not sure on the box break, it's an old piece. I'll get that for you when I get back from lunch.
