How about this one? I built it for the build-off on our forum but it didn't get any more ready than this.   I brought it to the show last saturday just to show how different peoples ideas kan be. My intentions are to tear it down and try to fit the body parts a bit better, but the guys at the show told me to keep it as it is. I'm not sure about what to do, but is it at all TRaK-able? |

That is different and I do like it! Not sure how to look at it really, but in my eyes I see it as a kustom pickup. I like the rear view a lot.

Thanks. Yeah, It isn't really traditional in the right sense, I guess, so I fully understand if it doesn't fit in here.  |

The way I see it is like how guys used to take coupes and cut the tops off of them to make roadsters in the 40's and 50's

It's hard to see in the photos, but looks like a ratrod? (bad word around here)  |

sorry about the photos i dont know how to turn off the flash and it kind of is its going to get a rust treatment has dents and bullet holes .
the only reason it went this way was because the cowl turned out a little crocked and insted of throwing it away i decided to just build it .
i dont like RR's there fake and some are unsafe and its NOT the way it was done back in the day .
only reason i asked is because 90% of it is scratch built and just thought maybe you guys would want to see it . its totally cool tho i wont post it up i have other builds in the works that would fit better on this forum any way thank you for your input .

I built this Offy Midget racer recently and was wondering if it is Trakable, I know it is vintage, just not real sure about being custom or hotrod, I do know my tow vehicle is though!!   |

I didn't want to make a roll pan, while I still thought that the bumper made the back of the GTO look a bit too heavy.
The solution was to paint the lower half of the bumper the same color as the body...while I'm aware that painted and semi painted bumpers may be more of a modern thing...so...what do you say, is that making the car un-trakable?

Mostly junkbox parts. Frame is scratchbuilt, engine and front axle are from original AMT '40 Ford tudor. Looks like I'm going to have to scratchbuild a pickup bed as well. I don't have any idea what the wheels, tires, and rearend are from. Will it be TRaK-able once it's done?

TraK-able? Old schooldrive train, Crank Drive blower on a 392 hemi.  |
