Ok.
I really dig the Hot Rod, Old School, Rat Rod and Kustom Car thing. I like every bit of custom work I see and I can respect the guys that build these cars, but one of the most curious fads I have been across recently is the Hot Rod VOLKSROD Volkwagen. Here are some pics of cars I have seen. What do you guys think?? Please credit Kurt Womac for the great picture of the black “01″ Volks rod shown here.

I am building a 1929 Ford. It’s gonna be an Old school looking Hot Rod. You guys have any advise on rear ends. Here are a few pics of the types I’ve seen used. Of course I hear about Ford 9″, Chevy 12 Bolt, Jaguar rear IRS, and the old Banjo Type. But what are the Pro’s and Con’s to each.

Here are the pics of that 1930 Model A hot rod we have mentioned . Yes this is actually a late 1970’s stock Chevy Luv Pick-up Truck Chassis. We got these pics from the builder. He said he has about $3000 in this car. This is a 1930 Model A steel body with a sheet metal flat floor welded in. Adapted to a late 70’s Chevrolet Luv stock chassis. It has a small block ford with a c4 tranny. The guy has 100 hours in the build. Chevy LUV IFS front suspension complete with stock torsion bars. The donor car was a mid 80’s mustang 2 from which he harvested the motor, trans, radiator, shifter, steering column, plumbing and some electrical. One of the best adapations of parts was the steerings…he got a rack and pinion unit from the wrecking yard out of a early 240Z and matched it to the steering arms of the LUV chassis…. Cool use of parts. Check out more cars like this on www.ratroduniverse.com

We wanted to post these pics of a truck out here in Bakersfield. Our site is all about custom rods and the crazy things people do to build them. Well here’s a guy, who put a 1959 ford 1/2 ton pick-up Body on his 1984 Ford Ranger Pick-up Truck Rolling Chassis. Check out these pics. Pretty creative if you ask me. Looks like a 390fe motor, auto trans and a good looking finished product. Satin red and white walls give it a good look. This truck reminds me of the Studebaker you have posted, late model chassis with an old school body. It takes some effort but you can build some cool rides if you just put alittle effort and alittle cash into it! we love you guys over at www.ratroduniverse.com
