Sweet looking ride!

Thanks!

Nice car, but what does "unmolested" mean? If one modifies a car is he "molesting" it? :D

Yes, I believe if someone modifies a car it is being molested. I’m a purest and like cars to be totally original.

I lean heavily towards 'unmodified' cars myself, but some people might say that leaving a car to 'sit' for 10 yrs (rather than being driven) is 'molesting it as well'.... :)

[Robert56Chevy]

Some may say that. But I rather think I was leaving it in its best condition for the next owner.

Well if "modified" is "molested", I must have RAPED my Nomad. :D I personally don't care for original cars because they're all the same and imo they're boring....and they're unsafe on today's roads by today's standards. But to each his own. ;) That car looks like a great start for a nice resto-mod :).

Thanks! The car is great! Tell your friends about it.

Yes! I just saw a note on the internet that there's a huge expose coming out about those 'rapes'.... maybe lawsuits? :)

We refer to those as sodomized rides.

[Robert56Chevy]

Guys. Enough of this type of language associated please!!

[chevynut]

You mean like the Chevys with MOPAR rearends? :D Who or what defines where "modified" ends and "sodomized" begins? Are they all "molested"? :D

Hotrodding is all about making a car better with stronger, more powerful, or safer parts. The only restored car I personally would ever own is a 60's muscle car, preferably a Chevy. Restored 50's cars belong in parades and museums along with Model As and Ts. LOL.

[chevynut]

Robert, do you have any other tri5 Chevys?

Seatbelts are not "original" so it's been "molested" as far as I'm concerned. :eek:;)

Looks like it's been re-painted at least once. Why is there so much rust in the roof area and doors if this is a California car? I thought it was drier than hell there.

And there's more PROOF that the "California Frame" thing is bogus. This is a California car and it has 2-piece frame. :geek:

Who runs a mopar rear end, my 55 currently has a Dana 60 from a 72 GMC pickup, I also have one with a different ratio Dana from a Ford. My 56 has a 57 Oldsmobile rear end. I have never ran a Mopar rear end in anything. Actually a Chrysler Corp. Pass. car Dana 60 is a different housing casting and worth a bunch of $$$$. They are machined and drilled for a pinion snubber.

As far as rear ends go there is nothing cooler than a quick-change other than the gear whine. 10.5 inch 4:86 ring gear and I've run several gear ratios from the current 3.69 to a 6.13 gear just for fun.There are like a hundred different ratios that can be changed in 15 minutes. $75 for a pair of any gear.

My '57 has been sodomized by a Strange 9". ;)
