My very first "hotrod" had duals. I just welded rims together.

Thanks. I may have a line on this type of set up. Thought it may help put some ponies to the pavement. But I am still unsure if I like the way it looks. I'm hunting for more pics to help me visualize it.

Picture I found somewhere on the web, there are other views of the same truck, but I only have this one. Sniper

I starting to think it could be pretty cool, if done right.

if done right.

That's the key but I've seen some really cool ones.

I wonder how this one steers. He's got a nice big steering wheel.

I love these Google challenges. Looks like this isn't a new idea.

My build is going to run the original dual rear wheels its a 36 chevy 1.5T, there not much to look at now but soon.. very soon

 

[jpswino]

I'm digging this idea. That one with the tractor-looking tires is very cool.

Yes, but THIS was done for a reason - wider tires weren't available and in a effort to gain traction and go faster they added an additional wheel and tire. That's HOT rodding!

No reason for the rest of the vehicles on this thread other than trying to one-up the next guy for ridiclousness. Not exactly a new idea either, but it is a bandwagon FAD - just like when custom cars went too far in the 60's. It was no longer about style or improving the looks of a vehicle, just about who could have the tallest fins or the most headlights. Now it is who can have the lowest, rustiest, most impractical NON-hot rod turd. Cars done with taste and style are timeless, but look back at the others now and you think WTF? I think we are definitely in a WTF era!

I thought of this thread when I saw these at Billetproodf Florida and snapped some photos.

I think I'd have to agree with you. It's awesome! Anybody have any ideas on what size the tires and rims are? Those are killer!!!
