Title: What would you build other than a vw??... Post by: kev d on March 20, 2014, 23:02:27 pm I've always been into rods / kustoms 8)
I'm not a million miles away from ordering a body & building one of these... 8) What would you build?? Title: Re: What would you build other than a vw??... Post by: Zach Gomulka on March 21, 2014, 03:50:52 am As far as American cars are concerned...
66-67 Chevy Nova (muscle car-ish) 49 Ford business coupe (kustom) 28-29 Ford Model A (traditional hot rod) There's a lot more but that's a solid start ;) Title: Re: What would you build other than a vw??... Post by: BeetleBug on March 21, 2014, 07:22:47 am Good question Kev.
First on my list would probably be a vintage Ford Escort. Then A To#¤ta Supra followed by a Porsche that I backdate.

Post by: cameron shorey on March 21, 2014, 22:41:35 pm (http://bangshift.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/chevy11.jpg) I recognize this car from Two Lane Blacktop. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ... sleeper http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067893/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Title: Re: What would you build other than a vw??... Post by: kev d on March 21, 2014, 23:55:43 pm Some good choices ;D
All '55 Chevys should look like the ones from 2 lane blacktop or American graffiti.. 8) Title: Re: What would you build other than a vw??... Post by: Bill Schwimmer on March 22, 2014, 04:35:15 am Some good choices ;D They are the same car, I saw the 55 on an episode of Adam 12 also. My neighbor is building a 55 2 door post, same style as the 2 lane blacktop car, Rat motor & all. For me ,I would do a 28-29 or 32 on 32 rails, V windshield ect. Nice functional traditional Hot Rod. As a side note The original Hallock v windshields were cast at Fullerton High School in the late 30's, same school my Daughter goes to now.All '55 Chevys should look like the ones from 2 lane blacktop or American graffiti.. 8) Title: Re: What would you build other than a vw??... Post by: DKK Ted on March 22, 2014, 05:12:59 am I would build a 67' Camaro RS. Had one in the early 70's, Wish I had it today.

I think one of the 2 lane cars survives?? Also in my fantasy garage would be a '32 tudor sedan, the street machine project car from the early 80's planted that seed! ;D Title: Re: What would you build other than a vw??...

Post by: Neil Davies on March 29, 2014, 12:59:26 pm Some great ideas, and I'd go for most of them! First though, I'd build a garage. Every now and again I lose a few hours on here: http://www.garagejournal.com/
Most of the impressive ones cost more than my house and wouldn't leave enough to put anything in them! Title: Re: What would you build other than a vw??... Post by: cameron shorey on March 31, 2014, 21:21:48 pm I have always enjoyed sleepers. So if I had a lot of spare money and time, maybe something like this.
