Hot rods, Rat Rods, Customs, Mud Runners, Etc.

As spring is getting closer I am ready to hit some cars shows and lay some rubber. I have been through the entire wiring harness and back. Frame off restoration, new motor, tranny, and posi that took 5 years and tried my patience every step of the way.

Anyone else want to show off there cars, trucks, bikes, etc?

 

[PHPaul]

Never could afford a hot rod, as much as I lusted after one. I have to make do with rice rockets...

Another month or so, it'll be time to take the FJ out of hibernation!

She's a beauty, used to own a 67 years ago along with my first car a 69. I'd give anything to have either one or both back now but they're out of my price range now. However I did buy a bike last month that I haven't even seen yet. It's gonna be a 4 + hour drive to go pick it up so I'm really hoping for warm weather early this year so I can drive it home instead of putting it on a trailer. Nice bike PHPaul, with I was younger so I could experience something like that however I had to settle for the comfort of a cruiser.

Nice Clean Bike Paul, I am 6’4 and tried one like yours before without any luck. How fast is it? Bearbait what kind of cruiser are you buying? I love the ride of mine just trying to get it tuned the way it should be is another story.

 

[D2Cat]

Kenny, what shows will you be attending? Where abouts in Mo. are you located?

 

[Old fart]

Sold this last fall after 21 years. I built it to mirror the one I bought new in ‘68. I regret it but it was time to let her go. The car scene was just taking up too much time and resources.

Its getting time to get ol' Black Lassie out......

I don't believe there was a bad looking muscle car built in the late 60's and early 70's. I bought a 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan KennysNewFarm. It's only a 900 but at my age and being a short ass it'll be enough for us 2 light weights.

This one is identical to mine. The green strip has a lot of meaning for me. My brother in law who was more like like my brother-best friend passed away a few years back, he had a ninja 1300 in a bright lime green we used to and still do call Gary green.

My first Camaro was a 67 SS/RS 350 4 speed car. My first new car was a 68 Road Runner 383 4 speed bought new in Aug of 68. I just gave my son my 77 Trans Am last year, I've owned it since March of 80. I also have a 99 Corvette Vert, and a 2009 V Star 1300 cycle. Still a motor head at 69.

 

[KennysNewFarm]

Sorry to hear Bearbait, life is definitely like a vapor and then it is gone. I have several friends already waiting for me. Cool tribute and memory to your buddy.

Nice cars Charlie! Thatis what mine is a 67 RS/SS 350. It is currently a 383 stroker but still have the original motor. Looks like a beautiful TA, and I do not think I will ever be to old for more power!

That is why I bought a Kubota more power to the PTO than the competition

I wish I had my 35 plymouth coupe still.. I guess thats what happens when things go side ways, toys are the first thing to go

Takes years of riding experience to hand the sheer power of 150cc's of Italian scooter. 70% of the torque is available under 3000 rpm. It's a rocket that will go 55 mph, 60 if you take off the windscreen. But the windscreen keeps the bugs out of my teeth.

Sadly, I am trying to find a good home for this after the wife hung up her helmet for good. Got too many "ve-hackles" in the garage.

When we bought this used in 2007, my wife followed me home from the dealer as I rode in a full tuck to keep up with traffic. I asked her how I looked on her "plum" scooter... "Raging..." was her response. Hey! I kinda like purpley-plum!

Heres my rotisserie restored 1970 Camaro Baldwin Motion Clone. The car is actually a 77 that i converted to a 1970 since rusty body panels had to be replaced anyway.
468BBC
M21 Muncie 4spd
4:10 rear gear
Custom made 4into1 header sidepipes

I got 3 intense years into it. Did absolutely everything myself except installing the windshield.

First drive, still needs tuning.

Ray - on our honeymoon 30 years ago, I rented a Honda Moped.

I called it my Mexican Harley....

Heres my rotisserie restored 1970 Camaro Baldwin Motion Clone.

Motion - Ohhh my....that's a beauty....if I was to ever go back to a muscle car, it would also be a GM and have some of the same goodies!!

Tell me there's an 8-track player under the dash?!?!?

 

[bearbait]

That is one sweet ride you lucky devil!!

 

[shootem604]

I sold my '78 Z28 a year ago - just too many projects, and not enough space in the shop, or time. Currently project is slower and uglier, but at least as cool; a 1941 Ford bren gun carrier. I'll have to take some pics.

 

[bearbait]

I gave up a real nice 76 Camaro to buy a 79 Z28, worst mistake I ever made. Seemed like from the first day I bought it everyone was out to get me and then finally a drunk driver ran into the back of it while we were sitting at a red light and pretty much totalled it.

 

[skeets]

I would say that is one sweet camaro.. but that doesn't even begin to cover it
