As for cars have no fenders in the UK, there's plenty of them up here in the north

This is a Ford Model Y I spotted a few years ago

A '32 five window coupe from last year

This one I see most months in the summer

This is one of my favourites that I have seen over the last few years

and yes not all Hot Rods (Street Rods, Rat Rods etc etc) are Fords. This is a 1940 Willys Coupe, yep the people who built the Jeeps.

Here's a couple of videos I shot a few years ago

As for cost anything between £5,000 for an unfinished project to £40,000 for a well finished show winner.

You need to try and get hold of the series . American icon - the hot rod.

That's the one with Chip Foose. It was on Discovery a couple of years ago.

This one is apparently not too far from me. The best part ... no rust.

3 window coupes are my preferred choice over the 5 window, there are some companioes in americfa that you can order full steel body shells from as kits to build these yourselves, they do a big range.... chevys make nice rods...


personally my favourite, and actually my ideal car is a model a pickup slightly rodded... i adore them so much... model y's and b's look nice too


so do you say 3 window coop or 3 window coopay?

[surfblue63]

It's Coupe as in Chicken Coop!
