Thread: What's your comfort level?

Tweet

Drive an uncivilized Hotrod, love the hell out of it. Has a radio with a USB port, fills the gap on the RH side of the dash. Like the bat play it when working or cleaning the car.

60 mph AC, roll out windshield. Firm suspension not stiff, loud pipes, louder then the fan @ idle and beyond. Drone in the cockpit none have side pipes.

Want comfort, the dd truck has all the luxo gee-dunks. Did I mention the 34 is very easy to work on and clean?

Just talkin', I have a 'glass replica '29 roadster with side curtains and turbo mufflers on an H-pipe system. On my mild 350 SBC I really liked the crackle of the exhaust but my wife hated it so I put racket buster tips on the pipes so now the sound is a mild rumble. the swing out windshield does not seal perfectly so the car is mainly a sunny day driver. My speed limiting feature is that the top really flaps at about 70 mph. I might have built a fenderless '27 roadster but my wife wanted a "cute Model A" so many compromises were made including full Model A fenders. The side curtains work pretty good and I keep them in the trunk in good weather in case I need to install them in the rain. I do not have an A/C despite the wife's request because there are so many air holes around the doors and windshield that it would be worthless but I do have a seldom used four speaker radio and a very good heater which can be used for overheating if needed. In the final analysis I got the compromises but the wife still prefers her big Impala sedan!
