Back to the 50's picture thread

[goodhart]

Went to back to the 50's Saturday and took a ton of pictures, here are a few of them. Feel free to add your own too!






I guess Carbon Fiber isn't just for imports any more



Wouldn't want to replace plugs and wires on this thing, V12 with 2 plugs per cylinder.






This is under the hood of this car, a Northstar V8:







This thing was sweeeeeeet!! Made me thirsty!



Yes, yes it is.

This is My Mom's boss's project, a 59 Chevy. It was probably one of, if not the sweetest vehicle there. It has a 498ci V8 that makes 720 WHP all motor that gets 3 mpg. Took him 2.5 years and 70k to build. He did everything him self except the paint, and Jeff Cheney did the motor and trans work. He hasn't brought it to the track yet, but it should run 10's.

Nice pics! I was there on Friday with Mark and his dad, and I remember a few of the rides you posted up. Didn't have my camera with me though. That truck looks pretty sweet!

I took the boy on Sunday. There was a few nicely done cars but mostly junk. There was a rat rod there with nothing special to it for sale for $12k. I figured I'd have about $1000 into building that same car.

yea, but that Metropolitan is as big as the average males nuts.

When my dad was younger and into building cars, one of his friends had a Nash Metropolitan like that one, but it had a 454 in it. He said it was pretty nuts to ride in.
