Title: What car would you build if time, money and skill was no object?! Post by: Neil Davies on January 23, 2008, 11:55:33 am Following on from Louis' "Dangerous When Bored" thread, as it says above, what cars would you build if time, money and skill was no object?! Oh, and space to keep them... ;)
I'll start! I've always facied a '63ish Corvette roadster drag car, with full tube chassis, strut front end and rack and pinion steering, spindle mount Mitchells with front runners, rear discs and 7" Erco star cut outs and 8" slicks, 091 bus box with vertigate shifter, ladder bar rear end and a 2442cc carb'd alcohol flat four in the back! ;D Title: Re: What car would you build if time, money and skill was no object?!

'54 Chevy fenders with frenched headlights. Sombrero caps. Painted candy bronze. White vinyl tuck and roll. 8CM flathead.
Title: Re: What car would you build if time, money and skill was no object?! Post by: louisb on January 23, 2008, 16:48:09 pm Damn, it would be hard to narrow down the list. So many cars, so little time in life. :D
Probably a Deuce roadster highboy along the lines of Doan Spencer's car. Black paint, red tuck and roll interior, duval windshield, hot rodded flat head, polished quick change out back and a set of Halibrand kidney bean wheels. All the bright work would be nickel plated instead of chromed. Another option would be an American Graffiti style coupe, also in black. ask me next week and get a different choice. ;D --louis Title: Re: What car would you build if time, money and skill was no object?!

Sort of a tribute to the McMullen roadster. Oh, and 50 Olds taillights.

Post by: louisb on January 23, 2008, 17:49:38 pm That is right, they had gone to the shoe box body style. I prefer the early 50s Chevys myself. My first car was a '54 chevy 210 sedan.
