Thread: Why yer hot rod?

Tweet

I picked up my 53 Plym running, but exceptionally bad, on a used car lot. The guys who ran the place couldnt believe it started, theyd put in a fresh 6 volter, new gas and tried it. They never heard of a choke, never thought about tossing the clogged oil bath, never let the fuel pump and fuel line cleaner totally fill before pumping it.I drove it home, no brakes to speak of other than the parking. She was a paltry 900 bucks,tax included, not bad for a driver.

Now ive got the almost never working flame thrower installed, the nicely chromed 94 replacing the 1 barrel, 3/4 vintage schneider cam, only the front seat recovered, black vinyl, 47 desoto rims and caps and nice semi gloss black primer.

I guess the purple paint, the 2x2 intake, milled head will have to wait till im more flush, and can get the job done in a weekend. Its tough with it being my driver.
