Intros are "Ghey"

[xpittsx]

I Surf, ride BMX, have a Trump Chopper and just chopped my top on my Kustom.

[Scooterville]

[Steve]

[seymour]

this intro is gay........

[xpittsx]

Breaking computers sounds pretty gay, Steve. Sounds like you're a Homo-phobe. Seymour, you MUST be gay with a picture of your lover on your avatar.

[Steve]

[SinisterCustom]

Not cool to pick a fight with an Old school Hamber, Have some respect, He is an Alliance Member, and it's all in good fun my friend, Don't take it to serious, where are those chopped pictures? Did you do the chop yourself? how much did you remove? I did 4 in. in the front and three in the back. I am not finished but I am already into rewiring, I will get back to the chop later...:cool: MKSTR!

[T-Bone]

[kornbinder]

I think I smell a poser

[Steve]

Yeah! it runs, but it does not drive yet. I need a floor shifter, and major wirirng which I am tackling next week....

Why did reading this make me feel like I was back in third fucking grade?:rolleyes:

[chevnut]

I Surf, ride BMX, have a Trump Chopper and just chopped my top on my Kustom.

I lived in Jersey for 6 years before moving here in Cali. I mean no disrespect to say that the swells in New Jersey suck ballz. Unless you travel to Surf, wind surf or, whatever I would not call myself a surfer floating around on a surfboard in any Jersey shore. my .02

I would like to see the chopped custom though. post a pic when you can.

surf asbury park... come out of the water with needles in your feet or an extra finger

[xpittsx]

Steve, I have some photos of what you call my "ol skool rod". Would you be so kind as to give me some info on how to upload them onto this post? I did a search, is photobucket the best way or is there another? Help me out if you could... By the way, to chevnut and chopperkid13, if you guys do surf and don't know about the east coast in the fall (hurricane season) and winter, then there is nothing left to say.

[SinisterCustom]

I gotta admit...I was a little worried at first about the chop. I think it looked good without it.....but seeing it in the last pic...looks AWESOME!
I really like the front end too!:D

Good job!!!!

[LiL' NiCk]

Seymour, you MUST be gay with a picture of your lover on your avatar.

G** DAMN IT! WHY are there so many losers getting on & talking shit to veterans like seymour and the like----This why I'm sick of this damn ........."I gotta ol' car,,,I'm the shit attitude".....-Guys-Ahhhhh,,,sorry for the rant!

[zman]

Fuck Jersey then, Carolina (OBX) is the place you oughta be...

I think I smell a poser

Personally I smell wannabe greaser rockasilly orca betty dating poser.. :eek:

sweetheart, you haven't LIVED until you've surfed Kansas. :eek:
We got this machine that makes waves 24/7. Oh yeah, it's hardcore. :D
You can even buy a video of yourself when you're done.

[xpittsx]

I know that this isn't the right board for it, but a I mentioned it, so here it is. I built it 11 years ago ( with the help of 2 buddies, wiring, timing, and some misc other stuff) and lost it to fire shortly after being done. It had a 8 over front end and was a real eyesore. The fire gave me a chance to build it the was a really wanted it. As is, paint and all for the last 9 years. Runs like a champ, only problem is that the rear tire expands a rubs the fender at speeds in excess of 100mph. Right now it is down bc I'm switching over to a belt primary and waiting for some parts in the mail.http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p122/xpittsx/bike.jpg

[Steve]

nice work pitts. That bike might just fit in over at the jockeyjournal.

[xpittsx]

Zman I guess you are right. I saw the Stray Cats play on halloween in NYC about 17+/- years ago, and I was a wannbe greaser then too.
p.s. I'm HAPPILY married to a beautiful hott tattooed momma! ( and she ain't overweight either!)

[xpittsx]

Scooter and Josh, thank you for the warm welcome. I appreciate it. Zman I don't understand why you jumped down my throat, I was defending the east coast...but hey...whatever. CarartNick, if seymour is going to dish it out, then he better be able to take it too! I stated my opinion and I thought that this is what this board is/was for? I guess ya can't please everybody?!?

[KoppaK]

Great looking Plymouth looks really cool with the chop, now if you clip the attitude you'll fit in real good around here. Oh yeah, welcome to the Hamb.

[chopperkid13]

i hate to say it but that was one of my favorite rides at rock n rods in phili.

[seymour]

"Dish out??" Sorry, didn't realize I was an instigator... :rolleyes:

What made you cut the B posts at the top? You like grinding in a concave corner?

[Scooterville]

more..http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p122/xpittsx/after2.jpg

The chop looks good and I like how it sits, too.

[rebstew187]

what is it with some of these FNG's. I like your rides but you seem to have a strange gay fetish. Even the pic of the chop you have "very gay" wrote out on it. Then you brag on having a skinny ol' lady. Did she come with a strap on for ya? have some respect for others on this forum and you may get some in return.

[BigMikeC]

You people are awfully insensitive.! :D :D :D

[mpls|cafe|racer]

I think the rides look decent.

I think you found the longest most difficult way to "skin the cat" as it were with that chop.

I think your bike is okay, but kinda cookie cutter. No offense, but it looks like ever other bob you ever see.

I also think that you have a pretty severe attitude that screams that you've got something to prove.

Maybe you should just take a few steps down the tough guy ladder and get back to talking about bikes and cars instead of trying to prove you're a hardassed greaser?

[El Caballo]

1. bobbers rule, cookie cutter could be said about hot rods as well

2. LOL, Jamal serious? Maybe you don't like competition? :D

[xpittsx]

I didn't know that being on the DEFENSE meant that "you've got something to prove". mpls cafe racer, of course you have an easier way to chop my top. You've chopped a million of these before AND still retained the rear window. I forgot. I didn't have an attitude til I posted this stupid intro. Remember guys/girls/gays/les/ and everyone else I forgot, I'm DEFENSE, defending.

[El Caballo]

HA HA HA! Welcome armpitts...

[xpittsx]

Ha haha! LOL! Thats where it originated from.

[xpittsx]

Rebstew187, look up the defintion of "ghey", add it to your vocab, oh yeah, I'm diggin the "dewrag" bro!! My $0.02

[Hot Rodz R Us]

I'm diggin the ("dewrag").....now that deserves a laugh

[mpls|cafe|racer]

1. bobbers rule, cookie cutter could be said about hot rods as well

2. LOL, Jamal serious? Maybe you don't like competition? :D

Fackin smahtass. ;) haha

I'm sure that the same thing could be said about some hot rods... but not all.

Bobbers in general tend to be a very cut and dry cookie cutter scene. You just don't see a lot of innovation in that community. Is that bad? Not necessarily. I just think it's a little bland. But what would I know? I'm more into bikes built for performance. ;)

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I think you should remember that. ;) Tell you what... if you are gonna get this teary eyed everytime someone criticizes you or doesn't agree with you, well, you're on the wrong forum my friend.

Maybe you should try not to get so defensive?

[mpls|cafe|racer]

I didn't have an attitude til I posted this stupid intro.

Sounds like you found the root of your problem right there. :D We're just bustin your balls. Chill out.

[53sled]

ghey is an internet term defined only by it's users, devoid of any true meaning.

and most people don't even read these.

[xpittsx]

Like every jap bike doesn't look the same? and every jesse james stretched raked 600m rear tire bike doesn't either? Even cafe racers all tend to have the same head over the bars look.... This is not intended to anger anyone, nor does it have malicious intent, but what would have been an eaiser way, since I "skinned the cat"? To make them better than decent? I ain't really into silly mail-slot chops. By the way...... WAH!!!!!

[Merc63]

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Except the quote is, "Sarcasm I now see to be, in general the language of the devil" the actual quote that yours comes from is "the pun is the lowest form of humour". How the two came to be confused is obscure. It has been shown that sarcasm and irony ome from the highest functions of the brain, so it may be that sarcasm requires more intelligence, though it's usually used to attempt to cut down those of lower intelligence...

Ok, enough of the literary lesson, and back to piling on the newbie... :D

[chaddilac]

Guess you guys can shut your tweekie-chutes after those pics of the car/bike and chop!!

[mpls|cafe|racer]

Or not....

[Whiskeybilt]

sorry i missed this car down at rock-n-rods.pretty impressive makin a cranbrook actually look good.couldn't see the front,did ya do anything to the bit in the mouth grill?my friends and i have one in our garage that we wanna chop.didn't think it could be done right.i see yer in jersey,me to.by the river.

There's one thing to be said about having a style... there's another to have a cookie cutter.

Just the fact that you're getting your panties in a bunch because someone didn't hop onto your nuts about your bobber gives me the impression that you know I'm right.

Cafe bikes have that "look" because it's part of the performance over the bike. Believe it or not, having your handlebars above your head isn't exactly a step in the right direction if you are building a performance minded machine. ;)

As for choppers, I wouldn't exactly say Jesse James' bikes are cookie cutters. You show me how many people you know thatb uild up the entire bike based on their own designs.

As for "jap" bikes, they can look however they want to look considering they will outperform any chopper or bobber you ever see. ;)

Aesthetics or performance is the name of the game. When you build a bike that is meant for aesthetics (like a chopper or bobber) there tends to be a very set formula for the build.

Performance tends to be the other way around.

I agree with you about the mail slots comments though. I dislike them too.

[Whiskeybilt]

and whats the big deal with bein a greaser?for me it's more of a lifestyle thing then anything else.maybe because i came from a punk background that i get it.why knock it?not to poke fingers or nothin,but a lot of you old tymers can cop a bit of an aditude just like the new guys.and if ya don't like the types of cars we all build,then they all look the same.

I wasn't trying to give a quote, I was making a statement.

Show me where you read that sarcasm takes more intelligence than actually giving forth a well thought out intelligent retort. :rolleyes:

Were you alive when greaser culture was rampant? Judging by the "old tymers" comment, I'd bet not.

Guess you're not a real greaser then. Just someone who is copping what you read in a book about a culture from a past generation.

That's the problem with younger people nowdays.

The 50's had greasers.

The 60's had hippies.

The 70's had disco.

Since then, there hasn't been a real unifying culture for younger people. So what do most younger people do? They try to copy the culture from the past. The greasers who are 19, the "punk rocker" who are in their early 20's, and the 18 year old hippes of 2006.

Identity crisis is the new culture I guess. :confused:

How would I have done it to look better? Well, to start with, I'd learn to weld. ;) As for my comment about the ride looking decent, I wasn't talking about the chop, Ace. I was talking about the entire car. I'm not that big a fan, that's all.

By the way, if you're gonna grasp onto this as a "challenge" to me, you'll be wasting your time. If you want serious tech talk, hit the forums. Just don't start crying if someone disagrees with you.

[chuckspeed]

pitts...

Everybody here had to post an intro whether they liked it or not; by choosing this subject line for an intro, you've managed to disrespect damned near everybody who's done time on the boards to date.

Not a good way to start, even if your stuff looks good. Better fabricators have been booted for less, man.

[xpittsx]

Why are you telling me my panties are in a bunch? I'm having a ball over here!! I'm still waiting for your easier way to chop my top, sinced I "skinned the cat"?? You've been avoiding that one for what, like 10 posts! Where you around for the birth of hot rodding too? I sure wasn't, guess that means that I can't have a hot rod!

Whiskeybilt, I say your boys at the Asbury show and they told me all about you. Assuming you are the guy that was going to trade it for a 30 Chev coupe?? BMX Josh?? Anyway, mine is a 54 Savoy, I searched for a 53-54 plymouth bc I was tired of seeing shoeboxes, chevys, and mercs... JERSEY!!!

[xpittsx]

All that matters is I'm having fun and mpls doesn't like my car!

[mpls|cafe|racer]

All that matters is I'm having fun and mpls doesn't like my car!

You know, you've made it completely clear that you are the stereotypical kid that's trying waaaay too hard to be a punk rock/greaser , etc. (See: Into cars and bikes for all the wrong reasons.)

Have a good time with your car and bike.

Good luck.

[xpittsx]

More hot air from mpls..... or should I say, Ace?

[rebstew187]

I find it funny that you are such a chump. like a 5 year old crying because he didn't get his way. you will find out in the long run that just because you have a car doesn't make you a true gearhead, hot rodder. when you use your car and or bike for a status symbol as you do, you won't get any respect from the die hard gear grinders. as for my dewrag, if it make you feel a little tougher I'll send ya one.Myself I thought it was GAY that you would check through my pics just to investigate little ol' me. you been saying in the last few post give me an answer on how I could have done a better chop.? you never answered my question.did your skinny ol' lady come with a strap on for you. cheer up and don't take everything to heart because you started something that you didn't know what you where getting into. live and learn

[Johnny Black]

Wow an intro with 72 replies I dont even think mine got 72 views. HEHEHEHEHEHEEE Cool car. I like your bike too. Dont worry if your not welcomed at first. I dont think anyone especially likes me either. Fuck the dumb shit. I would like to know more about that cookie cutter bike.:D

[xpittsx]

Rebstew187, to answer YOUR question, not the last time I looked, the time before that, I can't remeber, my ass was too sore!! Like you said, lighten up, don't take things to heart. If we ever meet, you better have a dewrag for me!

To all you homo-phobes...

"For those males without an existing homosexual orientation or a proclivity to
develop one, the experience of same-sex abuse can be a damaging in other ways.
The abuse can generate confusion about sexual orientation and produce impair-
ments in sexual functioning based upon uncertainty about sexual identity
(Dimock, 1988; Gill & Tutty, 1997; Lisak et al., 1996; Mendel, 1995). Some
men deal with these feelings by engaging in stereotypically hyper-masculine
activities such as interpersonal violence or may adopt a markedly homophobic
attitude. Many experience later disturbed intimate relationships and an increased
potential for substance abuse (Dimock, 1988; but see Sarwer, Crawford, &
Durlak, 1997)." (Foote & Goodman-Delahunty, 1999, p. 10)

Johnny Black, I'm going to be over at the Jockey Journal soon. We'll talk there. Thanks for the welcome!

[ray]

so you're saying that you were molested as a young boy, that's why everything is gay to you and you have an attitude? thanks for explaining. sorry about your asshole.

[Whiskeybilt]

to mlps,i'm not lookin for an idenity.i know who i am.i know what i like and just because i like old music,old cars and put a little murry's in my hair,doesn't mean that i'm tryin to live in the 50's.it's a style that just sorta happened for me.i'm not tryin to be anything.it's a long story,but it wasn't a "hey that looks neat,i'll do that now"thing.

[Whiskeybilt]

to pitts,i asked kyle about ya.you were parked next to him.56'chevy pu,real nice.ya he told me ya'll met.you should come check out our shop,it's pretty cool.the plymouth ain't mine.i've got a couple of projedct piles.i've only been on here a couple days and even though you can pick up some good info on here,theres still a bunch of dicks that seem to wanna cop an adittude with ya because they know more,are older,whatever.guess it ain't no good to be in yer 30's and like hot rods.lots of nice helpful people though.i think some of these guys just spend to much time on the computer thinkin about dumb shit.

[Richard D]

It's supposed to be about cars...

I'm in my mid 30's and I think i'm a true gearhead.you know everyone has told their mom they loved them at one time or another. If I told you that it's GHEY to tell mom you love her would it make someone mad? You bet. why? because all of us has done it. just like all of us on here have posted an intro and we didn't do it with an attitude. stick around and let the forum help you out with your ride. trust me it will and I'm not sure about Jersey but If I make it back up that way maybe we can run over to hells kitchen and grab some grub together.later steve

[El Caballo]

Die thread, die...

[xpittsx]

I hated intros when I was in grade school, high school, college, and employment. I stated MY OPINION, something people can't seem to accept. Never said everyone else's intro was ghey/lame. Lotsa people talk, but never want to hear what others have to say, or can never accept another's point of view but their own. LAME-ASS FRATERNITY MENTALITY GROUP THINK! Now ets get to talkin about these ghey cars!!!

[Whiskeybilt]

yer right rebstew,just kinda chaps my ass when people start into all the "i'm more hardcore about this then you "crap.who cares,right? i've always been into 4x4's before bein more exposed to the hot rod scene.now i'm gettin into bikes too.does that make me less of a gearhead.i work in a junkkyard,have a bunch of cars and a couple of trucks,raced on ande off road,been in a demo derby,have a race track in my backyard,rent a shop to build hot rods,listen to early country and rock and roll(rockabilly).and spend all my time around cars.so do i pass yer test mpls.i have friends that i'm not sure why they want cars,cause they can't work on um,but thats cool.you can still like um.i don't wanna fix um up,just wanna drive.but buildin um helps ya enjoy when ya get to drive um,right?

[xpittsx]

Ray, the KEY word in my quote is that you musta missed is "without"... ;)

[chopolds]

Holy shit! I miss a week or so on the HAMB and I miss all this drama! WOW!
The only reason I brought up this thread (sorry, el caballo!) is cause I really know Mr pitts.
For all you know it all. pseudo psyciatric psychics who can tell a guy's personality from a few words on a forum, you got it wrong.
Ken is a stand up guy. Been into this stuff since a lot of you JO's were still in grammar school. Not as long as us "greybeards", though, Kenny's still gettin schooled by the guys in the shop.
Actually, the chop was done in my shop, under my direction. Yeah, we did do some things the hard way, but in my eyes, the look is all important. Too many young guys take the easy way out doing things, and they look awkward, if not like total shit! We worked harder to get the look we wanted out of this car, but it was part of the whole plan. Like the rear window...lots of trouble to retain it, even though we had a couple "donor" roof sections we could have cut up and used. My 'puter is down at home, so I haven't been able to post a thread documenting how we did it. Sorry!
Anyway, just my thoughts on pitts.......
Kenny is a HARD worker. Anything I have taught him so far he has picked up in a short amount of time. Welding, metal fabrication, even lead work. We call him Bill Hines Jr., at the shop cause he loves the lead so much! I gave him a one or 2 hour how-to on it, doing one headlight frenching, and he picked it up immediatel, and tacked the other headlight. He may attempt to do the entire chop in lead, when I get done hammer welding in some of the rear window sections. Anyway, he's not afraid to tackle any project he takes on, learns fast, and his work is getting better and better....check out the finish work on the welded in bodyline seams on those Plymouth fenders. Almost perfect with NO filler! He's becoming a real craftsman. I have a lot of respect for him.
That's all I have to say! Whew
(See, Ken, I didn't even mention the 163 hours you have in "trying" to make a rear fender for the Trump!)

Sounds and looks like he is doing a good job on the car.....But, the tough ass act right off the hop is "Ghey"

I've known a bunch of talented people that were still complete assholes. The big secret is to become an "equal opportunity asshole". From then on it jus don't matter. Welcome to the HAMB. I think you'll like it.
