Yea, this is the FIRST car I have ever built that wasn't black...

I STOLE this color from Roothawg and it looks pretty bitchn.

UNFORTUNATELY I picked the darkest, most overcast day to take pics..The car looks totally diffrent in the sunlight. Kinda looks drab and shitty in these pics...

See you at the Drags, -Abone.

Don't know if it will make it..but SOMTHIN' I own will show up..

This is what I started with 10 months ago. The pic looks WAY better that it really was...This is the biggest piece of shit I have ever drug home. I paid 200 bucks for it and I got FUCKED!!!!! Should have left it where it was.......

Fathack. I can't lie to you brother..the TRUE cubic inch is really






Hmm...must have been a computer error....or somthing...

So you must have shot the clear yesterday.. Looking good

I will say first hand the color is totally Bassboat reflective.. I am not sure what silver he chose but it dances in the light... If he does not beat you, he will blind you... Bubba, you have to get that thing to MO with those gears... even if you have to flat tow it..

It has come along way and looks real good. Does it say "Kitty" in the pix above? It looks like it in the rust.

Chris. Yea, it says "KITTY" in rust on the passengers side....No idea why...but it took an ass load of grinding and SIX fucking coats of filler primer to make it fuck off..

By the way...the next car I build will be FLAT BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See ya, -Abone.

You gotta get a plate made for it that reads "KITTY" now!

As for the motor, let's feed the INFO into the Hack-o-Scope and see what it comes up with...

455 = Biggest factory Poncho
389 = Legendary GTO mill of yore

455 - 389 = 66

66 = Tri-power Goat, so divide by 3 = 22

455 + 22 = 477

How cool would this J look being flat towed behind ABone's flamed flat black slammed '60 Ford pickup? I say that's how he should get it to the HAMB drags. Help me convince him.....

Totally Bitchen! From the stance to the color, it's hard to believe, considering what you started with, and that wasn't all that long ago.

Very cool. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Stop in on your way to the drags.

Looks killer Jeff. Vontingler I've been thinking about going to the HAMB drags and might need a co pilot, you think you could handle the roadster for 10 hour?

Flamedabone, get that Henry-J on over to MO-KAN. I need a Henry-J to grudge race as a memorial to my good friend Jerry Branson (aka Joplin). Think about him every day.

Nice job, looks good. Stick it on a trailer and bring it over. It's nothing but FUN, friends, and good T-man food.

It's about 15 to 20 miles out to the track, you can drive out there from the motel like me.

Thanks, McCray
