Jeff Norwell is my favorite artist. Aside from having an artistic eye, he also has an eye for hot rods with perfect proportion, color, attitude, and internal combustion motivation. This 32 Pick Up shown below has been a huge inspiration for the HOT ROD HAULER.
Jeff, whatever set of shoes you put on her, she's always ready to dance!

Sweet Weepin, Creepin Jesus!
5W Coupe Blown W/ Multi Carb's
5WCOUPEHUNTER (HAMB Member) is building this ridiculous 5w Coupe that is so right: Spindle Mount front rims, Cheater Slicks out back, perfect chop, blower, multi-carb -except for the fucking Ford Small Block this Coupe might be perfect. It's cool though, 5WCOUPEHUNTER, I gotta give props regardless...

6x2 Set-Up on 4-71 Blower Thoughts...
Alright, haven't posted in about a week. I have been so wrapped up in getting parts for the Duster (and budgeting the engine), acquiring tools, and watching SMOKEY & THE BANDIT I & II repeatedly that I completely forgot about my sweet lil' 37 Hot Rod Hauler project.
Just to clear things up, I own two rad rides (although neither are road-worthy): my 72 Plymouth Duster (former and soon-to-be daily-driver) and my Hot Rod Hauler 96" wheel-base Rudy Truck (everyone needs a scary-fast pants-shitter hot rod to remind them they are alive).
I have boxes & boxes of parts for this fucker too. The plan for this truck is pretty dialed in, except one area: the induction system.
I am going to settle for a tunnel ram, but what I really want is a 4-71 blower topped with six 2 barrel carbs. It's not the blower that's out of reach per-say, it's the carbs. A Weiand 142 or 144 4-71 Blower from Summit would only be $2300, but it would be the $600 adaptor plate and six 9super7 Speedway carbs at $300/each on top of it that currently makes this plan out of reach. It boils down to this:
TUNNEL RAM, CARBS, & SCOOP................. $1000.00
6x2 CARB SET UP, ADAPTOR, & 4-71 BLOWER.....$4700.00
The fucked up part is, the tunnel ram will make almost as much power, but damn it would rule to have a blower with six carbs...
