Ricers and Hot Rods
Ricers originated in 1950-1960 in Japan when Japanese youth followed American’s who had modified (MOD) 1930, 1940 and 1950 cars called ‘Hot Rods’. Ricers refer to Asians who eat rice as their food staple. Asian Automobile modifications in 70s, 80s, and 90s became legend. Fast and Furious had examples of ‘Riced’ cars.
American teens in late 1940s and early 1950s modified used cars by ‘chopping’, 'Channeling', and ‘lowering’, adding twin carburetors, machining engine cam shafts, boring out engine blocks, adding larger pistons, modifying exhausts with straight pipes, and painting their cars in striking brilliant colors.
A good example is Jeff Rice of Ocala, Florida built this 1937 Studebaker J5 Coupe Express pickup truck. Body is all stock with the exception of bed cover, sun visor, and Tail lights (off a 1937 Studebaker Dictator passenger car). Bed cover is custom made from aluminum held up by gas struts. This 350 V8 "McKinnon" engine (actually a GM V8), has a pair of custom home built valve cover adapters with a set of cast aluminum Studebaker valve covers. It has an AFB carburetor, an HEI distributor with custom coil and cap, and it hooks to a Turbo 350 transmission, with a narrowed Ford 9” differential with Moser axels. All brackets and billet pieces were made in Jeff's one man shop.
Another example is a 1934 modified Chevy., Regards

Alec would calm the chaos! Besides, a little frenzy would be good for this forum since its use has cut down by who knows what.
