It appears that Bonnie's old man has turned the corner today! The wise old, well, i mean the wise ass @hotrodjack33 is one year further ahead of me! Happy birthday old buddy!

 

Happy Birthday @hotrodjack33 !!!

 

Happy Birthday Hoodlum and fellow Artist...Health, Happiness, Cake, and Hotrods...

 

Happy Birthday, Jack!

 

Its always a pleasure to see what Jack will contribute on the Friday art show, Happy Birthday @hotrodjack33!

 

A wonderful artist.
Happy birthday, sir.

 

Aww shucks guys...you're making me blush. But thanks for the kind words and the birthday greeting you guys.


BUT, it was THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!! I've been thrashing on the '36 Cabriolet all week, and we took it out for for the first time tonight...(to a birthday dinner & movie). Only about a 15 mile break-in run, but no issues and everything felt good. Will download and post some pics tomorrow.

Incidentally, the movie Bonnie picked for my birthday was called "Old". kind of insulting...don't ya think?

 

Enjoy it buddy, and enjoy putting some miles on that car

 

Happy Birthday Jack!!! Lloyd and I happen to have the same birthday, but I'm younger and WAY better looking, even without the Porn 'Stache! LOL!!!

 

...Cake and high Tri Fives to you too...427..

 

Jack, I spent a great bunch of my Teens rifling through Street Rodder and as a wannabe Artist never missed the Illustrations that graced and pulled it all together...even though it was post Hamb era there was always a respect and print given to the great period we celebrate here not to mention some other notable people some also members here...

Thanks for your influences to date to our great passion and hobby...

 

.................Glad it was a fun B-Day, Jack. Any movie by M. Night Shyamalan tends to give me "Night" mares!!..............Don.

 

Happy Birthday Jack!!

 

Yeah! What they^^^^^all said...

 

We're both as sexy as socks on a chicken on the hood of a 32 Ford

 

Agggghhhhhhhh. Now I'll be having nightmares about chickens

 

Hey @Stogy Thanks so much for the kind words.
I must admit, it was a pretty exciting time for this 25 year old kid to be (slightly) involved in the re-birth of the Street/Hot Rodding hobby.
A lot of these guys from the early years of Street Rodder Mag. went on to be movers, shakers and legends in the hobby...some of us, not so much

 

You're a legend to us, Jack.

 

Oh yeah, pics of the '36 Cabriolet right before the "birthday maiden run". Not quite finished yet...but done enough to drive

 

I like the balance of the dual fog lamps.

 

I think you’re missing one Don.lol. Cabrio is the cats pajamas. Snowman

 

Happy Birthday Jack!!!!! Lippy

 

......So I've been told.

 

Belated Happy Birthday Jack, 69 ain't old - if your a tree! HRP

 

With enough prodding, I think Don will come around...and see the light(s)

 

Reminded me of the old Hank Williams tune, "I Saw the Light, I Saw the Light, Lord have Mercy, I saw the Light."

 

Happy belated birthday { JACK } I don't get on here as much this time of the year. So I missed your party. Sorry I too love your Art work. I do think that you were born with that kind of talent. I been drawing cars since I could hold a pencil, and I'm no artist. I hope you got a new, { OLD } Toy car for your Birthday. Your Cabriolet looks GREAT! I made ya a cake. No not really

 

Thanks Jim...very much appreciated.

My goal was a mild custom '36 that you might see at an Autorama in the early/mid 60s... customized with lots of detail, chrome and accessories...but not take it too far.
I didn't want a leadsled or tail dragger (they were a little before my time) but the hot rods 0f the mid 60s car shows I loved had that "California Rake"...big & little tires ,a dropped axle and a "heavier than stock" engine weighing the nose down.

 

I’m a 70’s kid but I think your car is timeless. It’s never gonna be out of style.jmho. Snowman

 

I want to thank all you guys for all the kind words and birthday wishes. You really made a great birthday...even better!!!
And a big shout-out to Lloyd @Lloyd's paint & glass for starting this thread to begin with. Thanks buddy.
