Buy it & re-register/drive.Sell off moo put straight six back in or cheapie v8 for cool sounds & put on steelies with hubcaps.
Just don't spend up big on it.an easy fix is get a mate to drive in front of you at 60 then 80 then 100 and mark in on your speedo with some liquid paper.Comment

The best part about rods is that they shouldn't be super expensive. You make parts, have fun and do the work yourself. Got kids? Get them involved. Make building a rod a fun thing to do. Once it's finished it's something to take them to the beach with on weekends or to shows/swap meets.
Don't have to throw big $$ at them to make them cool, period wheels with white walls and some ingenuity usually looks awesome without costing the earth.Originally posted by GussyComment

It's got potential. The proportions of it aren't too bad its just got some wrong looking shit on it like the wheels. An engine with a vintage look with some swept back pipes to emphasize the long low look would make it cool. The six is too tall. A bonnet would also fix this.
It hasn't got any major sins though like a Holden front suspension or skulls moulded into the doors. It's all in the detailsOriginally posted by RVK 355Comment

It's 5k - no brainer really.

It's just those wheels and front shock towers that ruin it IMO, change the wheels (as photoshopped) and chuck some flames on it and she'll be sweet.
Oh and toss the moo motor if it hasn't been completely installed and just find a cheap carby V8, keep it simple and enjoy!
BTW what chassis is it on?/ --------------- \

I reckon it's on a mid 30's ford chassis but it also looks to have had a chassis extension? It's quite long.Originally posted by GussyComment

I wouldnt bother though given the Camaro and Wagon you already have.I climbed Mt DruittComment

Don't like rods at all.
I guess it comes down to the fact that I think it's bullshit as to what they can get away with and still have a registered car.
s/c big block in a van chassis that never did anything well. no worries.NopeComment

Yeah but hot rodders aren't well known for pulling massive skids or doing dumb shit in public. Most of them take them out on Sunday drives and the occasional Saturday evening cruise. That and it's older boys usually who own them.Originally posted by GussyComment
