This Is a customers car that is street legal, licensed, insured and driven regular. the gal that owns it keeps it in the garage and her late model in the drive way. It was built by her father and she loves it, had a passenger car windshield upside down that was so unsafe. I built an ugly boat style windshield with goober welds to match the rest of the car.I have to have it ready for a car show at her Grandson's school next weds http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I'm usually of the libertarian mindset that people should be left alone to do whatever the fuck they want.

But that... "car?" Fuck no, it should be impounded and cut up!!!

what I like best is I get into a lot of shops and garages. get to look in back yards and under tarps and see things that I've always dreamed of. It's a great way to make a few bucks and spend a lot more than I make http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I can just see it:
Passerby: Who works on the car for you?

POS Owner: Why, Jim Arnold (48Hemi) does all my wrenching and fixing up for me.

Passerby: (Thinks) Hmm, best make sure we NEVER go to Jims place then! Look at the shit HE builds.

Only fuckin' with ya, but you can see where it's going 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/wink.gif

I just spent 3 more hours putting a wiper on for her. I just have to post some pictures when the sun comes up. I was going to make a manual chain drive foot operated windshield wiper, I copped out and made it hand operated manual by the steering wheel. push to operate and a spring for return. I'm having a blast on this fine ride. I'm having her sign a waver before she takes it out of my shop http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
