That Z must be on airbags. And I don`t really care for the 80`s mini truck too wide wheel look. Not sure why they call it "Old school".

alright, here goes. i don't think i've ever posted in this thread, but i do quite like watching the pics  but the hot rod above doesn't actually look too difficult to build judging from the mechanics etc. is that the case with many ... forgot the name A.. or B hot rods? or isn't this very fair to say?  |

Well, what do you mean by "not too difficult to build"? Making complex things look simple is often the most difficult task. I don't know the details of the car but judging from the pics there are some mods like metalwork – chopped roof – angled a-pillar – filled roof chassis work – front end: dropped I beam axle – rear end: quick change – hydraulic brake system engine work – rebuilt and hopped-up flathead interior – fabrication of floor – fabrication of (what looks like aluminium) door panels ... That's just the obvious modifications, apart from the complete restoration as it was orginally built in 1951. Now it's up to you to decide whether that's difficult or not. |

You'll see my old 600 in the foreground and the metro to the right -- when he fired up the blown BBC and drove out was the highlight of the car show -- sounds real BAD -- right after the Fiat LOL at John Force car show 7/26/08 |

Not sure, but I was told many years ago that there are only about a dozen M1's left (US?) as they have all been smashed up. Shame. What a GREAT car. The M1 and the infamous Porsche 917-10 The baddest of the bad. A real neck snapper and rocketship on rails. |

Nico, great pics and info, as always. That car looks like it was designed in the '70s in Japan. Very close lines to the old To#¤tas from that era.

I think it was designed in England, it was a Hillman Avenger before being facelifted and rebranded as a Chrysler after a facelift. They did a version called the 'Tiger' which was designed to compete against the Ford Escort Mexico and RS models. Did fairly well in rallying if I remember correctly. I need to get out more I think  Tiger version  |
