  • Which car is cooler?

    Which would you like better as a low-buck hot rod, '50 Dodge Wayfarer or '46 Ford Tudor sedan? (And you can guess why I'm asking)

    DODGE



    FORD

      I dig them, and had one once. Lots of memories of my dad's that he sold when I was about 8 and I was MAD. But I think the Wayfarer is a cooler body style. So I'm torn.

          Ford.
          dumped in front, steelies, flat-head...hard to beat.
          I've got a friend that runs one without a hood to show his SBC/Tri-power. Drives it everywhere with a lock-up converter, and runs 12s in the quarter.

          I'd take a Ford over the Wayfarer every time...and I'm typically not a Ford fan.

            But also pretty standard.

              The 50 Dodge would be cool with a old school Hemi. I'm thinking Gasser with a Hilborn injected 392.

                We already have a Gasser project (Stude) plus Mojave Green. This one is gonna be a more straight-up "rat rod" cruiser.

                  '46 Ford. Recycle the Nailhead from the '59 Wagon with a 60-63 Dynoflow or get a GOOD adapter and run a TH200-4R behind it then put it on some vintage style Caddy or Olds wheels and Ford 8.8 just for conviencence sake.

                      OK, I'll have to think about this and get back to you.

                          What's the bolt pattern on that 50 Dodge? I've got a set of factory spoked wheels for 50 something Dodge Plymouths.

                              Both cars leave something to be desired when it comes to their fronts, but the Dodge has a 'way-better' roofline IMO.
                              Whatever the choice of car, either one would benefit from a roots blower and scoop sticking through the hood.
