I agree, rear wheel doesn't flow with the car

I have seen Bobby Alloway's work and he is a true craftsman, but if you put a roots blower on this I think the design credit would have to go to Big Time/ Jada, Muscle Machines or Zingers. It's looking very Pro Street which is not necessarily bad, just defined as wretched excess.

The only thing I question is the structural integrity - if you are going to put a motor in that can make the car run 150-200 mph, or accelerate like a bat out of hell, where is the safety equipment? Like SN65 said, the frame rails have been hacked - have they been strengthened or updated? Is this a true driver or trailer queen ?

That's why I like Bob's Cuda so much. It IS a SMOY and a true driver. You can drive the hell out of it and live to tell about it another day.

Well since i can't find the post that Craig posted about pictures of the build stating that he would be posting al of the pics of the build.

well Craig i'm bored at work or should i say i not having fun doing what i'm doing and i wanted to look at a cool car. But the sad news is no update on the pics.

need more pics

ps - been looking at a really cool Nomad instead of this car

I agree the wheels are stupid on that car. Well, wheels that size are stupid period, let alone on a car like that. Besides, Foose (on an episode of Overhaulin' at least a year ago, 67 or 68 fastback with silly huge rear wheels for a ghetto pro-stock look) and others have already done that and have proven how bad it looks. :rolleyes:

I also agree regarding other statements about the frame and the power/speed/acceleration that the engine should be capable of producing. If it doesn't get a cage to tie it all together, then it is best left a trailer queen. Worst-case is someone thinks it is purpose built and actually drags it, stuffs it in the wall, and then will be able to completely copy Foose with hand control retrofits when the owner ends up in a wheelchair.

Otherwise the car looks to have some nice work done too it. If it just had reasonable wheels on it (nothing over 18"), the car would probably look amazing. I just can't get into that silly, heavy, huge wheel look - wait a minute.... nope, just hung my pants below my butt, hung my underwear out and put a cap on sideways with the bill rolled up and still don't get it... :lol:

I agree, bored at work is not fun. We need more updates. It helps my days go super fast:cheers:

this thread is actually pretty funny. There are not to many people on this board that should be bashing anything bobby alloway builds. You may not like or it may not be your style but he is one of the best builders in the country. And for those of you that dont know most of bobbys cars are not driven BUT they are as nice on the bottom as they are on the top.

And for the reasonable wheel size comment......I think you have missed out on the last few years of high end car building and what the market is going toward(almost all big name cars have 18+ size wheels) I could start naming them but then you would have to remeber what you said about cars looking dumb with big wheels

i love how he builds his cars!
probably my favourite car is nesters Challenger he did just an animal of a car

eak - i quess your not going to like my truck either.

Or any of the cars I build !! :(

I wouldnt loose to much sleep over it......lol. With his 8 posts I doubt he even comes back. 18+ size wheels are here to stay for awhile I just wish people stop running pro built cars down because of a couple things they would do different when in reality they cant even grasp the concept of owning or building a car 1/2 or 1/4 as nice.

Didn't specifically bash on Alloway's building skills at all minus agreeing with another the car wouldn't be safe for the power; it's a trailer queen. I don't like that big wheel look on the rear on old cars, jeez, sorry for having an opinion. The new Vettes for instance looks awesome and I don't have an issue with the big wheels, but a wheel that big on a Muscle car just looks stupid IMO.

And I haven't missed out on the trend; I just don't like it. It's okay to go ahead and pull your panties back off and untie the knot :lol: As to the limited posts I mostly lurk here as I still think Big Red is one of the coolest cars ever and have been into that look/style ever since (racer-built purpose cars that still retain the stock muscle car look with interior and so forth). Sold my 70 Fastback to pay for college years back, my current road race car is a full tube chassis Porsche 914 with a 525HP SBC and still has stock dash incorporated for instance - don't post here much as I feel that car is not approprate to this forum as it is licensed but really just a race car at this point with wipers and working lights ;)

yes you are intitled to an opinion just felt that you came off a little harsh is all. I like all kinds of cars for instance you car sounds pretty dam cool and big red is awesome. I will agree that alloway gets a lil carried away on his wheel selection but to say that all big wheels look bad is like saying all blondes look bad after you see a big fatty LOL! IF you think his muscle cars have big wheels I have seen alloway put 15's on front and 20's out back. NOt my style but I will say one thing he stays busy and lots of people love his cars.

At NAshville they had a Alloway get toghter, with 36 of his cars there. Hands down one of the best builders in the nation, and from what heard is booked for 2-3 years, I don't like the color combo on the Mustang myself.

Alloway is know for big wheels and 2 styles Halibrand style 5 windows and 5 spoke TT2 style.

The Cuda he did is awesome, didn't win SMOY a few years ago. and his street rods top notch.

i like the car dont like huge rims or the mod motor but each there own. whoever asked about the front end being longer it is has a shelby nose and hood on it.

nice!!!
 

Love to see PT Fords!!!

The workmanship looks excellent and the car will be unique. I think it is very cool!!


The internet is a great avenue for us to share ideas, gain information, and make friends with common interest from great distances. The one thing we MUST always remember is that we should only say in type what we would say in person. Too many people run their keyboards and make comments they would never say to a persons face due to respect and thoughtfulness. Always remember "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." If you feel the need to cut down another persons car or say something negative, just go to another thread.

OK....I am off of my soap box. :cheers:
