OOOOOOFFFFFFF.





This pic rocks, not only because of the awesome looking 'rod, but also because of the penis shaped bush in the background

ROFL...

 

[Morba]

penski, you have excelled yourself. lovely cars there

 

[penski]

on the rusty one with the pinstriping, how is that done? Is the rust sealed with laquar or is the rust a paint effect?

It'll just be striped onto the bare metal. Maybe a coat of ankhor wax to protect...

Can someone tell me the point of them?

I'm not sure myself.

To have fun.

Life isn't as serious as you seem to think it is...And not everything needs a purpose.

[Frazzles]

Fair enough.

 

[IAmATeaf]

Nope

Penski, love these cars more then the Golfs you posted yesterday.

Do some of those had adjustable suspension? Some of them look too low to even move.

Are they road legal, with those exposed wheels? I know there is a lot of trouble with Baja's with keeping when wheels width within legal tolerations. These just seem to do away with it entirely.

Would love something like this. But it wouldn't get up my drive.

Why is all the running gear on the outside? Surely that will cause more problems than anything?

Also, how could anyone possible get in that chopped mini??

Bags are getting very popular with rods...If you run a transverse leaf at the front, you ca feasibly get front/back lift/drop with two bags.

"The apex of the tyre must have it's tread fully covered"

AKA run 'em fenderless until the po po tell you otherwise.

......Then continue to run fenderless but keep set of bolt-on micro arches in the boot.

How is it a problem? Unless you get hit by one...in which case it is your own fault for being in front of a moving car...

I think the question is more why than how Although I'm led to believe that a certain Rover boy on these forums could comfortably stand up inside it...

I was thinking more weather wise. Wind, hail, rain, etc.

I suppose the question stands for the others too. Just exactly how tall are the drivers?

I think I might just know who you mean. He wouldn't be able to reach the ceiling if he jumped

 

[gord]

Do these fit inside a normal parking space?

 

[ChrisJSY]

For once some of them look half okay.
I prefer it when they are lowered and can still drive.

Having a switch to change it is just cheating!

 

[bsoltan]

Those look awesome.

Unless you're running open intakes in a monsoon, it shouldn't be an issue Carbed engines run with four wires.

Is there a website for more pictures of these rods

Loads. Jalopy Journal is a great rod blog...And home of the HAMB too.
