Anyone own an old street rod on here that want's to go cruising some time?

Show pictures or just list what you have. I'd be interested in starting a group that goes on rides.

hey man that thing is badass

I just bought a 64 f100 that i plan on slowly making into a traditional style shop truck cruzer

I knew a bunch of vendetta's around here as well (a traditional hot rod and custom CC) also there are a couple of others

There is a bar called "Kulture" in downtown, near the train station and i know the bartender has 2 old rods, as well as the owner has a few.

i'm jealous. i'd love to own a nice merc one day - channeled, chopped roof, and sitting on bags. in flat, primer black with the chrome grill and bumpers. a classic hot rod. i'd also like to own a '55 chevy 150 street rod just like the ones in two lane blacktop and american graffiti (the very same cars were used in both movies). and of course, not hot rod collection would be complete without a '32 ford (only ford i'll probably ever own again). i like the five-window coupe. roadsters just don't do it for me. i got have that low roofline in combination with a nice rake to give it a mean look.

the '58-'60 corvette are one of my favorite cars. i think they're beautiful! if i'm ever lucky enough to own two of them, i'll probably rod one of them.

^^^ that's some beautiful work!

what year is this merc (the pic is too large to post)? that's the exact style i want, with the modified bumper. i used to see one like it rolling around the campus area a couple of years ago.

Yeah I wish this was a Mercury

It's a 1949 Packard. It is pretty freaking close to having the same body but without all the increase in costs to me due to the popularity.

I'm still debating on getting it painted black or leaving it marroon.

the wagon is facing some front end bodywork from what he last told me and hes up in MD for awhile.

8/9/2006 8:15:33 AM

i'm trying to give away a t-bucket dropped front axle beam assembly...

8/9/2006 9:52:38 PM

I'd definitely be interested, but my dad's got my '56 Chevy at home while he's got the rear end out of his '36


and yes - 49 Merc's are something to drool about... we used to own one

8/10/2006 10:27:16 PM

It would be cool to get some people together and cruise downtown on a Thursday or Friday night when school gets back in. Let me know.

8/11/2006 9:45:02 AM

James wrecked his '55 (but he's fixing it)



[Edited on August 11, 2006 at 10:40 AM. Reason : good thing he's not around to see this or he'd try to kick my ass]

8/11/2006 10:37:17 AM

my bird is stock other than air shocks and cragers (originals are in the garage)

so i don't know if it fits in here

someday i'd like to have the whole chopped dropped '50 merc

8/13/2006 2:39:02 AM

^oh i thought you had some end all be all motor (427?)...

8/13/2006 7:27:35 AM

yeah what happened to that

8/13/2006 11:27:06 AM

Its not in the car... my t-bird is a dual quad car though which is pretty rare with the 312

the 427 is waiting for a shell.

8/13/2006 11:50:52 AM

yeah i want to see pictures of the packard with the 455

8/14/2006 6:36:33 PM

what did the motor come out of?

those wheels and tires gotta go.

8/14/2006 10:14:40 PM

8/14/2006 10:15:18 PM

Those are original wheels so i'd like to keep them on there. I may have to get some white walls for it tho.

The engine came out of an old Cutlass.

8/15/2006 12:06:33 AM

You are worried about the wheels when the motor has already been changeD?

8/15/2006 11:16:08 AM

good point, how bout this....no money?

8/15/2006 11:25:06 AM

Thats a more appropriate response

8/15/2006 4:17:48 PM

what heads are on that motor? there is a big number or letter on the front corner of the LH head (or the rear of the RH one)

8/15/2006 8:52:29 PM

New pic



And on a side note, does anyone know how/want to fix a leaking rear differential? It's not bad unless the car is parked on a downward slope. I try to keep it topped off but I don't want to mess with the seals myself.

Also is there anyone on here that does custom speaker work that could hook some sort of box or enclosure under the front seat/somewhere out of the way and install a head unit in the glove compartment, so I can get music going in the car. It is converted to a 12v system.

8/25/2006 1:12:04 PM

leaking rear diff. pull the cover and throw some seal shit goop around it and tighten it back up. nough said
