My HOT ROD thru a fish eye lens... WE BUILT IT!

[Tuck]

So I took all my parts to bob bleeds and attended his dads party... His dad is a RULER and the party was awesome.

the following tuesday we started the build for MFS 2... EVEL flew in from cali, Bob, Redpunk and I trashed on creating a work of art.

The chassis RULES and I think Bob has a PUNK ROCK way of building everything.

I learned more this last week about "building" and having fun than I have in a LONG TIME... normally I would be back in college but thats done with, now its time to rock...

So theres still work to be done but this motor runs AWESOME... it scared the living shit outta me when it fired. Its gonna be a strong motor! The lasalle mated PERFECT!

Thanks bob, evel, redpunk, bobs dad and laura bleed for an awesome get-together with friends, and a bad ass build up of my first "real" hot rod.

Its time to scare people.

The body was tagged in 1961 in Minnesota, were finding out more info as we go but ill tell you, there were'nt to many roadsters built in this state... its only warm 3 months outta the year here so... The body was literally saved by Redpunks dad from a junkman- I'm gonna give it a second chance.

I have $2400 in it right where it sits, I scrounged for parts and only purchased what I had to. Most of this stuff I bought while in college, you get creative when you dont have the funds... but I was lucky enough to get all the "right" parts, old parts, it looks like a barn find right now.

[Tuck]

heres a shot of the H bomb and the Bleedster... btw, the fish eye shots were taken by evel

[Revhead]

Tuck, the roadster looks awesome, and for $2400 bucks... It just doesn't get any better than that.

Bob, that style of hot rod building that you do is way up there on my top ten list. Mean-looking, low and traditional, but not overdone in any aspect.

[Rocky]

You're right, Tuck! It has "the look". I think you'll have a lotta fun with that thang. I'm so happy the motor turned out ok. When I bought it from CornCobCoupe, he only knew what the previous owner told him about it, although "cob" did show me a photo of the old 38 ford racer it usta be in.
Looks like you're not gonna have to spend a lotta money on a really loooooooooong driveshaft, using that LaSalle Tranny. I got that from Smokey. Don't forget to put some oil in it....it's almost dry......congrats! I can't wait to attend BTT50's and watch you roast the cheater slicks with real HEMI POWER!!!!!

[kentucky]

That's awesome! Hot rodders are the best, most of them I've met would give you the shirt off their backs...except for the females http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Nice ride!

[GRADY]

HEY
diggin it man...I can only hope that I can get a ride at BTTFs next year...words are failing...nice ride http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif 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

[Tuck]

I feel like I got my ass kicked... and so does everyone else... it was alot of work! Its the little stuff that gets you hung up and keeps the clock spinning.

Bob is a ruler when it comes to the frames, that and the right combonation of parts... I have a picture of all of those parts in the box of my pickup.

It was like a full size model kit only bob was the only one who knew the instructions on how to put the frame together the right way...

It sits so low... I love the stance and the motor RULES.

Rocky thanks again for doing the "deal", it worked out so awesome. Corncobcoupe... I wana get that picture! or a copy of it.

This is too damn coooool....

[CheaterChris]

yeah all that is great, but how good were my burgers at my dads Drive In. Nice job guys.

[Tman]

Been a couple three years for BTT50s for me, what if we all happen to commit the BIG SIN late Sat night? several rods light em up in the 'grounds? You know the crowd WANTS it like a Catholic School girl.

Wow nice thrash! But wheres the bike rack?

[Dat Dirty Rat]

Tuck- Looks good..A job well done by all of you guys. I cant wait to see the video..

Dirty

[The Harpoon]

I dig.

Please tell me what is going on with the front of that frame. Is it bent upwards? My brothers and I are curious. Youngest one (15 years) has a druid princess inspired project that needs frame inspiration and yours looks choice. Last year for Christmas I was able to give him a 26 t sedan body and "A" that were donated to me by friends.

He is not Germ and wants to avoid suicide.

Thanks.

(nobody knows but My BMX had green tires)

[abomber30]

[fuel pump]

A while ago bob mentioned pie-cutting the frame for a kinda sweeping step-up. Better get the real info from the source. I'm just a no talent hack that reads this board too much.

The rest of the crew were "gassed" from lack of sleep..., but there were plenty of smiles as the thing came together....!!!!!

Awesome job..., and congratulations on the build...!

[Paul]

redpunk,

is that dog chopped, sectioned or both?

Paul

[Tuck]

Paul,

Thats my dog...Carmel, aka Sharkie the shop dog... its a traditional low rider Welsch Corgi... You wouldnt believe how many times people asked me if it was a lowrider haha... we've had those dogs in our family for years, since they came over on "the boat"....

Everything here is built to plow snow...

I'm half asleep in that pic, my eyes are closed and I have pillow hair... thats what it looked like Sunday EARLY morning before we left.

[redpunk]

That dog is low. Shes Cool, follows him everywhere. Im telling him he needs one more dog. Im trying to set him up with a big monster Bulldog.

Evel, good to hear you made it home. Your eyes were looking rough that last night(Morning). It was great hanging out with you...

Bob, you ruled. Thanks for given me a place to stay too. Your house is awesome. I could look at all your collections of stuff in there forever.. Let me know if your dog ever needs anymore vitamins too.

[zman]

Fuckin' A #1 RULERS!!!!

Damn nice, damn cool, damn I dig it...

[bobbleed]

DANGER! DANGER!

Holy Shit, what a week. It was AWSOME. You guys are the coolest. The Huskies miss you guys.......

A few months ago when I was in California, Evel wanted me to do some tech stuff for MFS.
I thought it would be better for him to come to WI and I could work in my own shop.

There were tons of cars we could have did this piece with as there is alot of stuff going together at the shop right now.
Tuck and I had been talking about thrashing his roadster together and I figured it would be perfect for MFS.

It would be a cooler story with the two of us building it, and it would get Tuck some of the recognition he deserves...... He is a talented MotherFucker.

This whole week turned out way cooler than I thought. I laughed more in the last week than I have in years..... The origional idea was for us to build the car as you see it in a week, then it was 4 days. Due to hangovers and lack of sleep it ended up being three.

ACEHOLES will soon rule the world.
I can not wait for this car to be on the road.
TERROR.

Here's Tucks roadster with the rest of the family.

[Gas_Tires_Oil]

Way cool! Exellent job.http://www.alien-ufos.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
Good luck with it.

[bobbleed]

This is the bare body

[bobbleed]

This is the "Bleed Sweep" I think it works out pretty good.

[bobbleed]

The kick up ended up being 14 inches. We used super short rear wishbones for clearence. We will add trianglated upper bars so it will be a fourbar set up using the split bones for the bottom bars. Hopefully it will work.

I think it will once we get it sorted out.

[bobbleed]

Establishing the ride height. Evel approved.

[bobbleed]

Outside with big bro.

[bobbleed]

It allready misses Tuck. It will ruin Canada.

[choprods]

You Kanadians SUCK...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Oh ask TMAN- those radius rods will break!!!!!-YeaAs they will! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Right after the ones on my roadster BREAK into SPLINTERS! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I love the frame upsweep BOB.
I am so proud to have mine done in your style even if a Hillbilly did it!
Tuck I got that PM....youll have to at least try to beat me at HAMBDRAGS '05!!!!!this roadster will be retired by then[Im giving it away]
BUUUUUTTTTT-[Ill have my secret weapon/HAMB-DRAGMOBILE there!

Ok, so I can finally see all the pics--you know, after waiting at the base library for three hours--all for the damn HAMB. I think you all should make a fund--Help-Jolene-Get-A-Laptop fund--so I can see all the freakin' insane cars you boys are building!
I'm so pissed--I SSOOOO wish I couuld have been there--but I know I'll be able to drive it...Ha! The thought keeps me sane...I LOVE it! It's seriously...what's the word? Gorgeous? Luxy? No...not quite...damn cool!
Bob, Nate, Evel...you all rock--this hot rod is a dream come true for someone I know...

Great job guys!!!!!!!
