The Official Hot Rod Thread

It is going to need some work up front. The dog house is jacked up on it. Something in the steering is whack.

Because you don't have the right steering wheel installed.

So mouse, what are your plans for the new lowrider?

It is on bags so the dropped stance right now is because there is no air....

Get it running. If the engine is still tight then swap out the glide for a T-350 I have.
It needs a proper radiator and fans.
Get into the front end and make the wheels both point the same way.
Re-wire the air ride and make that work.
Have the boys do a down and dirty detail clean up on it.
Do something with those hideous wheels.....
Not sure what to do about the dog house just yet.
I have had 2 people offer to buy it as is...........at a profit.....

Have you ever driven a car with one of those wheels.....I have and they suck.

Sounds good. You've renewed my interest in the "B" body. Every couple months I make it a mission to find one I really like and torture myself with the idea, because I can afford it... Found a handfull of 60-68's that I would buy right now!

Glad to hear you're keeping the bags. They are a lot of fun, it's so freakin cool to pull up at a show, park and air it out...

This is my only experience with bags. Riding around Indy Raceway Park back in the early '00's in this '74 Caddy hearse. My dad painted it.

Sweet.........Love the wheels.

Sweet.........Love the wheels.

The wheels and some of the body panels are living on now with a new hearse he's building. That blue one had a wall of speakers, this new one will have the whole rear end full of sound system... Freakin crazy. Stuff so loud your hair will dance.

My ears are already ruined.

LOL. Just giving you hell. i have driven a truck that had a small Grant wheel on it and didn't care for it. Too many turns from lock to lock, even if it did look good.

For some off the wall reason I put a 12" wheel in my 64 Dodge Polara. 426 Hemi 4 speed with manual brakes/steering. (I put the Hemi in it)
That thing was a bear to steer trying to park.

I just warshed and clay bared my hooptie.

Man I bet you ruined the clay bar.....

I can not find my electric fuel pump I keep to move fuel around in the stored containers and the rigs.....
Holley blue pump with ample hoses and a wiring harness.
I am pissed off. I bet my son "Borrowed" it and left it somewhere as he sometimes does.

Damned kids.

Now I may have to drop $100 to replace it.
I have to pump all the crap fuel out of the 64.

 

[RustyHornet]

Oh, I didn't touch the doghouse. Just had to get all the overspray off that I caused when I sprayed the number on the side. It was bothering me! I can't stand the rough paint feeling!

 

[RustyHornet]

How's this for a hot rod? 9 cylinder. 1400 HP.

 

[Leadeye]

Looks thirsty.

Don't know squat about planes but I can appreciate the beauty in the mechanical aspect as well as the color scheme

Has its positive points but yeah.....long bed.



I am getting all the parts to breath life into the 327 in the 64 today. I hope to put some heat in it by the weekend.

I have to get some air in the front bags so I can get a jack under it.
