Low-tide muddy find! What is it?

Great read and thanks for sharing!!
But what about the Next Chapter "THE OTHER CAR"

 

Tell me, does the red steel building in the pics have a bunch of barrels strapped to the inside walls, so it floats when the tide comes in? I'm trying to figure out why someone would put a building in that location. Is it a boathouse?

Great thread!

 

How cold is that water?

That water was friggin cold as we were floating accross the barrel i was standing over shot out and sent me in!

 

Yes, it is a boathouse. It is always floating, no matter what the tide. The barrels are there to increase the lift because the old logs are starting to get waterlogged.

Its pretty cool, as it has a huge garage door on the downstream side to pilot your boat (or hippo) into.

My dad and I originally "drove" that boathouse upstream while our old 1942 Bowpicker boat was tied up inside!!

Even with the big block chrysler in the boat it was SLOW going!

But that story is a little too O/T!

 

That's not O/T for The HAMB!!

 

I laughed...I cried....I blew coffee out of my nose!

Best story ever!

 

Any pics of it home yet?

 

I agree!


Get to work!

 

They're out now! and that hippo still some how is cooler...

 

I thought only cubans used barrels to get cars to float!!!!! Ha ha ha!!!! Nice story knuck from indiana.

Hey, you know how the HAMB works, no pictures, everyone calls BS!
The hippo is WAY cool, but I had to stand up for boobs....
It's all good!

 

hey boobs are sweet.. but I was thinking... Would I rather have a pair of boobs or a pedal powered hippo... I looked in the mirror and decided I wouldn't look good with boobs... so hippo it is..

 

Badass story, I miss having that kind of fun over nonsensical (sp?) shit!!!
LMFAO at the hippo paddle boat!!!! I want one!!! (wouldnt do me a damn bit of good, but I want one!!! See avatar for reason)

Updates please!

 

Thank you for upping this, what a story. hahaha.

 

epic

I can't wait to see where you get the drivetrain from...

 

nice adventure , what about the other car?

 

I just found this thread. It's 8.30 in the morning here in NZ and I'm at work quietly drinking coffee and reading the thread. All is well I'm keeping my head down and looking like I'm hard at work.... until we get to the pedal powered hippo !! freakin fits of laughter and coffee from one end of my desk to the other - yup both nostrils !

Needless to say my cover is blown!



top thread.


.

 

I don't know that it is cooler than boobs. I would need to see a picture of boobs to make that determination. More if possible. Epic story though.

 

Cool story and pics.

I'm looking forward to more.

 

You could always put a nitro burning Briggs in it for power.

 

Yeah give an update on this story...............pleeeze

 

this is what its all about....so cool.

 

great story, ya might want to brace up that body next time u try to float it across river, noticed a little twisting goin on!!!!

 

Any update on this ???

 

do it!

 

Wow, and I thought my dad was crazy for making me work on a car he yanked out of a pasture! Make sure you put together a scrap book for this car. It simply refuses to die. I've heard of people saying "it called out to me" but you sir actually responded. Keep the updates coming!

 

best thread ever and the hippo is on ebay for sale or ones like it for 500 bucks and i would love to see how it turned out

 

Okay, I was already laughing my ass off when I saw this, now, LOOK AT MY SHIRT!!!!!!!
Awesome thread, now GO GET THE OTHER ONE!
