    I knew i should have saved it. It was pretty good too!
     
  3. I looked through my hilborn junk and all i could find was a set of 8A's. The car seems to run ok but i think the pump might be too big now. Do you think swapping it for a #0 pump might be a good option? I have one I can try but it is a lot of work to swap. Hilborn says the #0 is for up to 410 CID on alcohol, but i'm thinking it will be fine for something bigger on gas. Thanks, David

    Of all the people who talk crap about Richard at Gas Monkey, I wonder how many of them have actually got to judge him by being around him.

    Kenny sold his car during the car show over by the Federal Prison about 6 weeks ago or so.

    Kenny sold his

    Not to worry, Jon posted the video somewhere else already

    http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/monkeyboys.html

    If you go to the original thread, and read it all specially the last 3 pages, you'll see that Jon wasnt messing around when he started this.:D
    Oh, on page 2 you can get empty bubble pictures that lets you be the artist;)

    That was the gayest "parody" video I've seen in quite some time. I bet this Jon tool feels a lot better about himself now.....did he only get one text-effect with his video program? He sure does like the word jumble...

  14. Call me a nerd, but I never heard of Gas Monkey Garage until this year at Back to the 50's in St. Paul MI when I fell in love with the rods on display and even bought their TShirt....should I burn it or save it for EBay collectables...

    That jon guy is a major asshat as is everyone over there.
    Look at this thread about the littleman coupe. That thing is badass and yet all they do is bash it because they call it a "rat rod"

    if "centerline" is a moderator there, i'm staying the hell away. I remember that guy from another forum, he's a major asshole. That picture of those two guys... I can't believe anyone would take a picture like that, even as a joke... holy crap...

    They are bidding on a roadster from a HAMBer on ebay right now so they can say they built it.

    I was amazed at their "roadshow" when it rolled into back to the 50's last year. A giant Semi+Trailer to haul around a couple of crazy low cars and a couple of racks of t-shirts??????? Really seemed like a waste of money to me. They have a shop or something? It sounds like they just buy cars to display, so they must sell alot of t-shirts to afford that rolling circus.

    The owner has some serious money to begin with... He couldn't care less about hot rods... It is what is popular now.... I saw the same tow rig at Paso. If you were able to stomach any of their crap, you will see they will bash anything and anyone for a little attention.... I saw a pic taken at a show once and they had 5 cars. They all looked the same except for diff. levels of rust... As far as I am concerned they can keep talkin shit. No one takes the ASS Monkeys serious anyways... EVILT

    That Jon dude asks for an apology, gets an apology, then continues to bash the guy?

    And those dudes think the HAMB is bad?

    Gas Monkey violated the forum rules and not only did they advertise, but they tried hiding it behind "we need a good cause for a charity", and posted a lame cheesy video about the anti-christ of hotrodding:rolleyes: The administrator asked for an excuse and the video to be removed, they didnt really do either.
    The low model A they claimed to have built (and turns out they didnt) is indicator enough of what kinda shop Richard runs.
    The vid and the thread has been sent to SEMA already and various other companies.
    Gas Monkey requested the vid to be removed from YouTube but turns out that they'res got pulled as well.
    66GMC and his band of "youngrodderz" (http://s15.invisionfree.com/youngrodderz/index.php?showtopic=938) wont be able to do much.

    No comment on what was posted... but...
    I agree... I think Jons pushing it-
    I'm really glad none of the mods act that way here... reminds me of the 'old hamb' 5 years ago when there were no mods... and it just self policed itself... Maybe thats where Spank went?

    I also read that littleman post that centerline started... Dude how sad that people can be so close minded and so hard lined they cant see out of their own little box-

    It is kinda sad those guys bash everything. If someone posts a car that they think is a "rat rod" then all they do is bash it. When something has rust on it they immediately think its a "rat rod" even if it is safely built and well engineered, like littlemans coupe. Kind of sad really.

    I've never even heard of that forum until this thread. Sounds like someone is jealous and needs to shut their pie hole.

    I've heard of them, but I was always told that they did not have a shop and the GasMonkey "garage" was simply a brand name they put on cars they bought to promote the ficitious shop... is this the case? If anything I thought they had a shop where they performed "maitenance" on the cars they own... or do they really have a shop where they "try" to build cars?
