Thread: and, for my "Someday" build, I'm gonna........

Hotrodpaint, not to divert/hijack the thread, but that Devin looks similar to the Scarab's of the 60's. There's a little shop here in Gardner that's brought the Scarab back, building the space frames from scratch, and they found the shop over in the eastern block (maybe Poland?) to make aluminum body panels to original specs - the same shop that did Cobra bodies for Shelby back in the day. The Scarab's are super cool, as were the Devin's! Scarab | Kultured Customs

I couldn't come up with much realistic to post...........having enough trouble staying motivated to work on what's out there now.
Then Roger posts that Scarab recreation! One of my all time favorite cars........................
I even had a set of PSE replicas of those wheels.......until yesterday when I shipped them to a new owner. Sheesh!

If I won the lottery, I would probably build Factory Five's GTM Supercar. 0-60 in 3 seconds. Now that would be Viagra on wheels!

My someday project has been yard art for a few years now. I traded a cam for a 36 Ford roller that had a tree fall on it. instead of repairing the roof, I just cut out 20 inches from behind the door, with building a "Topolino altered for normal size people" in mind. I planned to use a glass Topo nose piece, giant slicks on the rear and spoke skinnies on the front etc, but my back didn't like the heavy bodywork needed, and the project landed where it is in the photo. the axles, brakes and suspension wound up being used for my T bucket (see avitar), and the Topo dream sits dejectedly in the yard.

Now that's got a really nice look! I'd say that would be a really cool vehicle finished out.

One day, if I live long enough I intend to build a hotrod woody bus as a camper

along the lines of something like this

Well, if I were to hit the lottery, I'd call Barry R. up and order me one like this!

Then I'd have to figure out how to accessorize the rest of the living room around it!

That is my choice for "most exotic motor ever"!!!

Very nice engine for a conventional type car........

I always thought one of these Eagle-Weslake V-12 engines would go really nice in a mid engine car.......

Hi Russ, so good to hear from you buddy too, thanks for the photo of the "30 A Truck and yes,those are the sort of wheels that still lights my fire,very nice. Now that piece of garden art you have looks too darn nice to be sitting out in the weather too long. Now that you have the T finished and the A re-powered, you just may have to start on the coupe as that would be awesome finished to your high standard but I also appreciate that one has to look after ones health so no pressure from me.
