[Antibilly]

Rings that is! One set of coker triple ribbed
(for my pleasure) trim rings add a nice touch

It's got the look now Mike.

Seeing as though the valve covers are painted green...why is the air cleaner not green as well as the gas tank? dude you can paint the trim rings with a transparent green paint as well. During Christmas you can do a whole Grinch that stole hubcaps thing.

MBL you are.....................well something else.

I also got a new finned radiator cap cover.
MBL aka Tim It cant all be green my friend. its gotta have some conrast. youll understand that when you get over the everythings gotta be primered faze http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Antibilly]

[Bigums]

Looks great, Mike. I'm still waiting for the smoky burnout picture, though... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[MBL]

I guess you're right...the contrast works...I just haven't gotten around to painting yet...still need more bodywork on my T. I am not one of those "everything has to be primer" guys...I'm more of one of those "everything has to smell like maple syrup" guys...either way...it looks good.
Are you driving it now as an everyday?

Hey Mike I forgot to ask you how the GB handled in the pouring rain with those slicks.

[Antibilly]

Tim currently My drive to work is about 100 yards so it sleeps in the shop most nights.
Nads It handled fine. I didnt take any corners at 50 mph nor did I floor it a red lights.
I could feel my balls floating that day it was raining so hard!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We gotta see if the longer shannon cones I got will fit the rear wheels, they'd be perfect on the GB. You still have the 2 extra short ones right?

[Antibilly]

YA!!!! still got em. Im gonna put them on the wall in the shop for now.
Next Im gonna see if I can make that 28 shell fit the GB after work http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[4t64rd]

Do not sell them! You should have gotten your "birds" by now.

[Antibilly]

The birds are in. I traded one to the guy who made the linkage.
So tell one eye I owe him the whole sale price agreed on wink wink.
Im gonna paint them up this week with some rattle can and clear coat and put em out for sale
They outta bring 30 bucks each

[4t64rd]

So you ain't gonna risk it on the GB huh? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Post some pictures after you paint them (I wouldn't have to tell this to anyone else, but take them outdoors when you take the picture http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif).

When I get back from MI, I'm going to make up a limited edition, super special, highly collectible, HAMB hoodlum auction items out of a couple, like Steve did.

[Antibilly]

make me about 10 more when you have time. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[repoguy]

I just hope you guys paint all those Fords in bright colors,

that way they'll be cleary visible in the rearview mirror of my Buick.

Parallel parking is a bitch in those huge Buicks ain't it? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Mike, When I first saw the subject line of this post, I thought the GB humped some girls Civic last night. 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

Ran out of paint?

I ran out of patience.

[Antibilly]

I got buzzed and wanted to see it on and tried to paint it and run but no luck.

hey has anyone ever put a 28 shell on a T rad. they dont sit all the way down over the tank..
looks good up front but it has a gap on top looking from the bucket???
I also have some perferated (bs) steel left for a insert if it works out
