Rod on a C10 base
Hi guys ,
I was thinking for years to build a "hot rod" ( Ford '32 or something similar ) , but after having looked for a suited frame , I never did find one , or they were a lot of €€€... And as I really don't want to have something like others have , I then tought about the old C-10 long bed frame I still have in one of my boxes... Hmmmmmm ! that should be something different... So , I'm now conceiving a rod , to be build on my frame , with the 131.5 inches wheelbase... and as I always have loved those 1930's "Indy specials" racing cars , there is the drawing ( here under ) the construction of the structure should be in wood , like in the good old days , but with a polyester body , set on a wooden one , very lightweight... I've maybe found an old BB ( Mark Iv ) Chevy engine , it should be a good base to put on it... the drawing : there also two pic's of what it should look like , but slightly larger in size So Guys , am I nuts or am I nuts ??? greetz the Baron

Good luck with it. Slonaker |
