Yep, agreed...maybe that's part of the reason I stepped out for 25yrs. Velor, stupid aftermarket wheels, padded dash's, billet (ok I'll take hits on that one!) on & on. But I got to realize that do what you like & if someone doesn't that's their problem.Gosh............I hated the seventies..jacked up cars, button tuft whore house interiors, wide tires and wheels sticking way out of the fenders...and
lace and panel paint jobs...............yuk......my opinion, but shared by many..
This post may not come out too clear. Motorsports West magazine, 1967, printed in Vancouver BC. This is coverage of the PNE parade with floats by the BC Custom Car Assoc and the BC Hot Rod Assn. Bottom left photo shows
a guy at the left with a wig. That is PTP'r Bruce Metcalfe with a dress and a wig. He tells me he had to get off the float to go pee....then had to run 3 blocks to catch up to the float....to much laughter and cheering. The girl standing beside him, I had a crush on in Grade 9 !!!!!
Sept 1963 Car Craft. '33 3 Window. Anyone know anything about this nice car???
From Port Alberni, BC
I just found out yesterday talking to my buddy Cliff S. in Burns Lake BC
that he owned this car in the 60's for four years. Cliff has been building rods and customs out there for over 45 years!!!!!!!!
Also did you notice how high the cars sat back in the day? Thank goodness the dropped axle was reproduced for the hot rodding public.
They had dropped axles back then, just happens that they pushed to wheels to far to the outside instead of the tires being under the fenders.
Did he say what happened to the car? I know a guy named Ken Hemstock who i think lived in Duncun? who has a blue 3-window that looks close to that, wonder if it is the same one? Anyone know Kenny on the island??

Is Ron still in your neighbourhood? Or, where ya grew up, etc????
OB56, i know they did have the axles around, but now you can just go and buy a Super Bell that is correct, instead of sending to Mor-Drop in California or relying on some guy to do it in his back shop. Some of those back yard ones were pretty crude. Just my opinion.
