2 hot rod chicks kick me in the nuts and try to steal

[beatnik]

my roadster, while yelling Viva La Hamb! Luckily the other get away vehicle was Big Olds.

I finally got the roadster running last weekend. Hotrodladycrusr and CherryBlossom stopped by to see what I was up too.

Still have a few things to finish up and a couple of changes to make, but Dzus fasteners, a windshield and some type of interior are next.

[Fat Hack]

Way ta go, Gus! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I heard ya got that heap runnin'...ya know, I'm pretty handy with Holleys if'n ya don't wanna spend the BIG bucks on a new one, Bro...just say the word!

[andysdeuce]

[hankcash]

Hell..I know guys that would consider 2 chicks kickin him in the nuts a hot date.

later.

[Fast Elvis]

Looking sweet Gus!!.......heard the chicks really liked your "hot rod"........I mean the car http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif......can't wait to see that beast on the road........great work!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[junk runner jr]

beatnik,

Looks good. what axel is that? looks like a spring behind dropped axel like speedway sells. If so what stering arms are you running?

[Evel]

sick!

[beatnik]

Greg, I got impatient and already rebuilt the one I had on the car it's running pretty good now.


Don, I wish I was even further along the Hamb Drags are coming up quick. I'm going to try and make Louisville.


hankcash LOL, there heads are already over the windshield line.


61 wag, I've had worse dates, at least we all went out to dinner later.


Fast Elvis, Thanks I can hardly wait to take it out and see what it will do.


junk runner jr, speedway 6" drop spring behind axle, and the steering arms are also the bigger drop ones from speeway.

[Plowboy]

Yeah, what Don said, I didn't know you were that far along!

Haven't you ever heard of "progress posts" so we know someone is actually working on a car and not just bitching about one? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You now have a deadline to beat. Get it done for Louisville just like Boyd would.

[famous59]

Looks good, What tire and wheel combo are you running ? Front and back. I am putting a 27 tall T together and so far I am undecided on tire size.

[Roothawg]

I dig the wheels and caps. What are they? Aftermarket I am guessing?

[Spitfire1776]

I'd like to see a four barrel Hack Holley. It would probably end up being the most unique thing ever to top an engine.....some might say unholy...:)

[Levis Classic]

Wow what a scary pair!

[Spitfire1776]

I like the stance on that. What's your rear end set-up?

[burger]

Beatnik,

I'm really digging your car! Do you have any finished pictures of the frame? As I recall it was a pretty sturdy looking rectangular tube deal, right?


Thanks,
Ed

[junk runner jr]

I can't tell in the pic does the drag link go through the hairpins or under them? I have the four inch spring behind axel on my T with the shorter drop arms and they don't work.

[Plowboy]

I take it you are running a vega box?

Has anyone seen that new rack and pinion cross steer box in the new speedway catalog? Looks pretty slick.

I hope you get it to Louisville so I can check it out. I have a "top secret" new project in the works and I like the way yours sits.

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Wow! Glad to hear you're makin' progress Gus!!!

Now we'll have to run 'em! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Nick32vic]

Holy Hotrods Gus! You must have been workin day and night on that thing! Looks absolutely GREAT!!!! I cant wait to see it in Louisville! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Good Job man. Now if only mine was that far along.

Nick

[beatnik]

Plowboy, it went together quick, I really havent posted to many pics, yup vega box


famous59, 165R15 radial fronts and 29x7-15 Hurst Cheater Slicks radial recaps on the back.


Roothawg, yea Wheel Vintiques, Solid 15x5 & 15x7's and 1941 Ford caps


I've also got a set of 15x10's with radials, I'm using for longer trips. They look stupid, like I'm ready for the mud bogs but it should hook and I wont have to worry about the rain

ol_scratch, It's an 8.8 Ford axle w/Competition Engineering Ladder Bars, Panhard bar, and coil overs.


edmurder, here's a couple pics of the frame 2x3 and 1-5/8 tube all .120 wall.

junk runner jr, tie rod and drag link go through the radius rods.

[roadstar]

Way cool Gus. But whats with the distributer in the front?

Is that a super trick Smallblock Chevy turned around backwards http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks like HAMB drags material to me buddy. Can't wait to see it.

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif<----Gus

[jdubbya]

Damn gus, you get all the girls!

Glad to see it has progressed alot since I saw it, now that motor choice is a different matter...everyone knows that to be super-racerific-rat-rod-ruler, you need a 2.8. Anyway, we will leave the ruling to Hack, looking good man! -Joe

[flt-blk]

I had been waiting for update pic's too. looks great, I
love the frame and structure. Those nerf bars in back are
perfect.
TZ

[beatnik]

Nick, I'll be looking for you at Louisville

Hot Rod To Hell, your out of my class man, at least for this year http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Rudy, Thanks, imagine that a Ford that's almost all Ford, except the front brakes.

Joe, all leave the 2.8's to the hackmiester

Tyler, stoled the push bars and the trunk latches from Tony Nancy's 22jr

[4t64rd]

If you make it to the BDC, I'll be all over that thing taking pictures and taking notes, hope you don't mind http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice work!

[hotrodladycrusr]

I'm sure he'll be taking folks for rides in the roadster at the BDC, if he won't, I'll volunteer for the job! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Levis Classic]

Promises - promises when you guys coming up North? Tell Mike I will take him to my super secret bone yard!

[beatnik]

4t64rd, I'll be at BDC unless I have to do some kind of last minute thrashing, for the drags. You are more than welcome to check it out.


JimC, not this year but hopefully next year. I think Bonneville might become an every other year event.

[Donzie]

Gus, lookin' good. Maybe your car will be the next "chick magnet".
Here's a little tip when you're pickin' up girls...always leave room for yourself. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[beatnik]

There is only one car that's a true chick magnet, and Flaw'd owns it know. Maybe this will get him to do an intro.

[Fat Hack]

Ha Ha Ha...when were ya over there, Gus? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

(Bastard! I live the next street over and ya didn't stop by HERE! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif)

"Donzie's Tub" is officially back in action (sorta!)...Hell, I even got ta drive it the other day myself...oughtta be a real screamer when he gets the little bugs ironed out and lays the FINE TUNE on it!

(I snuck some spy photos too...but ya beat me to the punch...waiting for the prehistoric 110 film ta get developed!!!!)

[guy with a wrench]

Great looking roadster Beatnik, wish I could say mine was that far along, maybe seeing yours will give me a lil push to finish faster, as long as my wallet can keep up http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
That tub is awesome too http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Are those pink valve covers 'spost to attract women? Does resemble fingernail polish. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The 348 is a perfect fit.

[AnimalAin]

Beatnik, if you continue to hang out with dangerous women, all your injuries are your own damn fault..... Bitch'n hot rod, by the way.

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Actually I think we'll be there next weekend...so make plans to take up a couple hours of our time Saturday night.

[Plowboy]

Got any pics of that front suspension?
Like how the spring mounts, shocks, Steering box, etc?

Did you build that frame too? Looks nice. A lot of bending!

[Antibilly]

Beatnik I sent you a PM about some cheater slicks for your ride

[Pist-n-Broke]

Glad to see Denise and Friend still perfers Top Less. One Kool ride.

[Rocky]
