Thanks for the education, BED. [cl

What's your plan for this project, sc? Everybody knows I love a drag car of any sort, but this one screams traditional hot rod!

.

No real firm plans yet Doc. I think I have enough drag cars at the moment so this will be some kind of hot rod for the street ... maybe a home for the fresh 300 Ford 6 and 5 speed that is sitting in a rusted out F150 out back.

I'm thinking something like this would be pretty cool ...

 

[sawzall]

Something like that would be very cool!

Terrific score SC. I like the inline 6 and maybe wire wheels

I like it B.E.D. but I'm missing some major components there ... most notably the entire turtle deck assembly.

wrong year but they are available.

Get ahold of Rufus Ranch in Brainerd, MN and see if they have one.

They're out there. Hey, just a few days ago you were missing everything else right?

Not sure about your area, but turtle decks come up a lot around here.

That's a sweet little rod!

That's a sweet little rod!

It's even sweeter now! Belongs to Bill Jagenow from Brothers Custom in Detroit.

That photo from BED pointed me to the following story about that roadster (which is now painted) and some other photos of cool 27 T's.

Sorry but I'm more fond of the Rat look

Sorry but I'm more fond of the Rat look

I'm the same way...polishing time is wasted cruising time IMHO!

 

[05snopro440]

I like it better shiny. For some reason, I'm gravitating more to shiny lately. I guess I need to put some more miles on one of my shiny toys to get it out of my system.

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

I like shiny and I like ratty, but I really like this "patina" hot rod!

.

 

[soltz]

I would have to agree with the good Dr.C[cl

 

[sc5080]

making a mockery ...

Hmmm .... ??

Just fooling around with a mock up. I don't think the highboy look does anything for me. Maybe with fenders and running boards but not like this!
What do you guys think?

 

[Old Iron]

I'm not a Highboy fan
