Thread: Sensible hot rods?????????

Tweet

Call mine a cruiser if you want, but I consider it my hot rod. It has a late model EFI motor and OD automatic. It has run 13.60s at the track, through the mufflers on street tires, gets 27+ mpg on the highway with the AC on and stereo blastin' the blues. Last summer I drove it on a 2000 mile trip, with only slight hiccup. IMO hot rods are a lot more fun when you can use them

There are days, even with the very few miles I have put on my '31 that I wish I could have my trailer back that I used to haul my 'bucket to shows over 100 miles. My knees just aren't as flexible as they were a few years ago. Then there is the lack of trunk room - I have enough for a change of skivvies and my toothbrush if my wife goes too, but with her ruined back.......

Don this is a good point . At 54 my back don't won't to ride with me if it's going to be rough , I would never be able to get out of the car . The A is set up for a soft ride but has the original seats will have to buckle up tight to stay in them .

Then the 37 came along , it will be a road cruise to go anywhere . Actually will be planning on going to W.V. in it after it's done . I went with a MII and some TCI parallel rear springs instead of the buggy on it . This should give this weight a very good highway manners to enjoy driving .
