Charles, here's a great photo of one of these Frenzel superchargers on a Ford engine. I myself have a 3d printed Frenzel on a Lincoln V12 I'm looking forward to dropping into the right build!
-
...but stayed tuned, the really crazy stuff didn't really seem to start till the 50's got underway!
-
And finally, a mid-engined 1927 T-Roadster! Apparently anything went during this heyday of "Hot Rodding" cars. (HRM September 1950)
-
A beautiful Lakester I could totally see building from scratch...
-
Nothing like a guy who takes a Cord sedan, drops in a Mercury engine, and goes racing! I'm assuming he did this for the front wheel drive, but it's a wild ride in any case!
-
HRM June 1950 had just my kind of build - - - crazy engine in a totally incorrect car!
-
And off in a different direction, HRM October 1949 had an earlier iteration of the Pierson Brothers Salt Flats racer. I have seen diecasts of this vehicle, but don't know if any scale models exist. In any case, it would be fun to build this earlier version in "as raced" condition.
-
HRM October 1948 had an interesting article regarding a channeled 1941 Mercury done by Barris Custom Shop. What a beautiful car. I don't know my "Lead Sled" history very well, but may I assume this was one of the earlier attempts? In any event, I would love to build one of these.

From HRM September 1965 comes a Simoniz ad with "Casper's Ghost". Just WOW!
-
Came out awesome Jeremy!
-
Apparently, there were no rules back then... From HRM October 1949, I present the "burn yourself on the way in and out" roadster...

I totally saw the same thing, although the cab looked a bit different.
-
I suspect this HRM article from December 1961 inspired more than one hot rod truck scale model...
-
The January 1949 HRM cover had this one. Inside an article with cutaway drawing and everything needed to scratch build this beauty...
-
I suspect they are using a Snipping Tool
-
I would guess they were going for a bit of the Ford GT prototype look, since these were so famous at the time...
-
Under the heading of "Photos that inspire me to build" is this beauty from April 1948 of HRM: If anyone else runs across a great photo/article/advertisement, I hope you'll post it here. Just make sure to note the issue of HRM so the rest of us can check it out too!

I'm with you Ricky.
-
My pleasure John. So far I'm on a binge myself - - - 16 hours over the last two days!
-
So cool! I'm still in the 50's right now, and there are articles here and there regarding model builds...
-
The only problem Bill; the more I read these old articles, the more ideas I get for new builds!
-
I think this is a link our entire readership would enjoy, but I'm not sure how to get the word out so everyone sees it...
