    Who cares what other people think. If you like them, use them. When you build a hotrod, you only have to please yourself. Build the car for you.

    Exactly.

    It's like the 500lb person at walmart wearing the pink thong and cutoff shorts, a "who farted" girlie tee and a catheter bag strapped to their ankle for the whole world to see.

    Yes that's a person.

    No it's not okay to make fun.

    But somewhere along the way someone told them "When you dress, you only have to please yourself. Dress up for YOU!"

    When I see stupid hot rods I think:

    "Yes that's a car."

    "No it's not okay to make fun."

    "Somebody must have told this guy-'Who cares what other people think. When you build a hotrod, you only have to please yourself. Build the car for you.' "

    You guys know I'm just playin right? ;)

    Yes, you only have to please yourself, but I doubt anyone wants to build something that most their peers will criticise or laugh about. We all know those guys who build cars that everyone talks about behind their back. Some guys want that kind of attention, but most don't know they're getting it.

  14. Reminds me of a great Drive-By Truckers lyric "Daddy used to tell me everything comes down to what they say about you when you're not around, and I wish that he was here now I'm sure he would be proud - no one talks about me now."

    I have used them in 2 builds for customers but they wanted the amber portion as parking lights not turn signal, looked fine to me but then they were not trad HAMB cars.

    It means I'm sick of hearing "Build it for you, who cares what people think."


    If they didn't care what people think they wouldnt get mad when people think it sucks. We all care a little, no matter who you built it for.

    And this is not an attack on anyone. Just an observation. I like seeing people strive to make their cars awesome.
     
  17. No opinion, if ya like 'em stick 'em on there.
     
  18. Pretty street roddy as in late street rod street roddy.

    I guess someone could run 'em and I probably wouldn't bother to say much but I don't think they would work for me personally.

    LOL. Asshats! Only one person actually answered the question. I'm guessing that he wanted feedback about the quality.. I have never used them either.....

    If I were going to buy new head lights I'd spring for the Guide copies with the marker/directionals on top. My $.02

    I have a set on my 41 and really like them. They are brighter than my old sealed beams and I like how they look. Very functional as headlights if thats what you want headlights for.

    Thank you, sir. I'm absolutely certain that anyone who ever asked for an opinion here about a part, an accessory, or a build, already knew that he could built the car the way he wanted when he asked the question. Nevertheless, someone will post the obvious. So stop.

    I say who gives a rat's ass. Who gives a rat's ass if their ugly and not traditional. Who gives a shit if they are beautiful and should be held in some sort of acclaim. Who gives a shit in general? Shouldn't we all just be out in the shed working on our cars?
     
  30. OK, Ok, use 'em.
