Anyone know who owns this car?

[Donzie]

I DO!! (ok, it was trick question).
As of Sunday afternoon anyway. We delivered the tub to Dearborn and picked up the coupe from MrGasser in Royal Oak.
Other than dropping in the 327 from the tub and a few minor changes, it should be on the street in no time (well, as long as the roads have ben plowed).
And I'm still STOKED!!

[MrGasser]

HEY!!! WHAT THE ***??? My car's missing from my driveway!!!

[Donzie]

Randy, we rang the bell, really, we did.

[fuel pump]

Donnie,
Do you get a clear title with that thing http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif You know how those Detroiters can take advantage of us country folk. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif The Torrid Torquers will be over in the morning to see it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif IMHO you got a real good deal. Randy will miss that ride but I'm sure he has something cool in the wings.

[kustombuilder]

[MrGasser]

[roadstar]

He was just storing it for somebody. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gifThat dudes is gonna be pissed when he gets out http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.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

[Harrison]

You just moved up in the hot rod world.

Awesome car! I love it. Congratulations.

Nice car Donzie....should be perfect for Michigan driving....seeing how the body is fiberglass.....Is that fake patina on it??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif(lets cut the roof off!!!)

[RileyRacing]

Well, the good news is the tub is that much closer to me... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jay

[Donzie]

I like it Hatch. Bring the sawzall when you come over. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[jdubbya]

I hope you got a deal, cuz if I remember...the brake lights weren't working and something was rattling up in Birch Run. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Congrats Donnie, I have always been a fan of Randy's car, it should be alot of fun for you!

[hotrodladycrusr]

Well it's no '47 olds convert, but I guess it will do for a michigan "BOY" http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[beatnik]

Very cool Donzie, I'll be going over to Tim's some time this week to check out his T-Coupe, now I get to see the Tub as well.

I can see it now uncle Fat Hack crusing the kids around our local cruise spot in the tub.

[MrGasser]

Hey! The brake light problem was just a fuse, and that rattling was a stupid, METRIC bolt,(I don't know how that got in there!), that came out of the fan shroud!...don't be hate-n!

[Boones]

So what are your plans for it? I think the vert idea looks good,, to bad someone does make a retrofit kit to convert them over to folding top....

[kustombuilder]

CUT OFF THE ROOF???? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif i thought the reason for sellin the tub was to get a hot rod that you could drive in less than perfect weather http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif?!?!?!

at least now we have something NEW to tease you about... "HEY, is'nt that RANDY'S car??" LOL http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
just wait till your KUSTOM is done. i got some ideas for that "Hot Rod" too. time to spent THE REST of you retirement fund http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.... MUUUUUHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[fab32]

Even cutting off the roof won't stop it from being RANDY'S car. Better kick Kustombuilder in the ass and get that Chevy done. At least then all we can accuse you of is being a CHECKBOOK RODDER instead of trying to ride the coat tails of a FAMOUS Deeeeeeeeetroit rodder. hehehe!!!

Frank

[MrGasser]

Frank,...you're too kind,...no, really...

[fuel pump]

Hey Donnie,
If I recall Randy is just a "little" bit taller that you. So how is the seat height? Can you see over the streering wheel or do ya have to look through it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What's wrong with owning a car that belonged to someone famous? I suppose you'd pass up a chance to own a Barris car, huh?
Frank, you should be thankful for "checkbook rodders". http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Actually, being shorter will have an advantage. My head won't hit the roof when I hit a bump, so I won't have to wear one of the scarves on my head to keep from getting spider webs in my hair. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[fuel pump]

So that's what those scavers are for http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif Very good Donnie.
Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday we can meet for lunch if the other guys get healthy.

[Donzie]

Sounds good Rich.

[hiboy32]

Hey that is just too cool!! I am gonna have one just like that .

LMAO....Randy wears a SCARF on his head. Thats just too cute http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Do you wear those little plastic ones like the old women do Randy, so as not to mess up your hair when it rains?

[Donzie]

Man, I'm gonna catch hell for this, I just know it!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Django]

Congrats Donzie. I have always dug that car. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[MrGasser]

OK!...they're not, "scarves", they're "bandanna's", alright!? And the reason I wear them is to hide the treasure maps and directions to all my secret stashes of tin, that I have tattoo'd on my head!

[fuel pump]

Gasser,
Donnie called em scarves FIRST http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[jdubbya]

Here in Flint we call 'em "Do Rags."

[kustombuilder]

i was gonna add a bald joke here but i think i'll keep my mouth shut in case i need some of Randy's cool rare parts one day http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif....

[MrGasser]

...not "bald",..."shaved"...

[kustombuilder]

LOL!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[kustombuilder]

...i've never actually seen you without that rag on yer head.

[Donzie]

Yeah, I guess one of those would be handy....for checking the oil! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
