Rat Rod Engines



The thing I like seeing in a T Bucket, coupe or early rod is a unique engine with odd intakes and carburetors. Here are a few from last nights cruise in Colchester, CT.

 

 

 

Check the Dual Back Draft Carbs on this Buick Engine.

 

 

A modern small block but Love the carbs. Check the vacuum "Horn" mounted to the intake!

 

 

 

And one Wicked cool radiator cap replacement!



First Cruise Night of the Season

The Good Times Motoring Club of Colchester, CT sponsors the summer cruise nights every year on the town green. There is food and a DJ and a real family atmosphere here. You park, walk around, talk to people and its a real good time. Its still a little cold when the sun sets, but that's OK. Everyone starts to leave then anyway as most of us have to work the next day.


There are many makes, models and year that show up. From Rat Rods, to muscle cars, flame throwing low riders to pick up trucks, Some old race cars to primered "Works in Progress". They have it all here. Below are the Mopars and one AMC that showed up and even a cool chopper with a VW engine.

Going in Style!

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to give Bob that big hot rod send off to the great drag strip in the sky."

Yes folks, the owner of this Dodge A100 pickup will drive you to your final resting place in your very own custom pinstriped coffin in the back of his hot rod. I'd rather go in a Ute myself, but hey! Thats just me.
