    So ive been a complete pussy lately and havnt drivin my roadster much:rolleyes: so this mornin i jumped in and just went for a drive(all day). i am working on my hallock for it(not on the car)so i just wore some glasses.let the wind blow all over me,being loud and drivin the backroads with nobody else around, you get a feeling thats way to hard to explain, it clears everything from your mind and you just smile:D. i wish i could never stop, it made me realize im a lucky little bastard and im glad ive worked for it,and theres not many other 19 year olds that could do it.......k thats my rant..just wanted to say, go drive and enjoy your stuff

    NICE!

    Just saw a rerun of the build on Hot Rod tv this morning. Nothing like driving to nowhere in particular, just to be driving.

    When you take all of the crap out of the way this IS what a hot rod is for. Nothing like jumping in and heading in no particular direction and see where you end up. It's nice to drive with buddies and do an organized thing but the you'll NEVER top the impulsive "no particular place to go" trip.

    Hah! Exactly my thoughts last weekend. Took off and just went cruising. Put a few hundred miles on the coupe and was thinking to myself yup, this is where it's at. Wow, speaking of driving, I'm heading out the door now, next stop BONNEVILLE!

    I want to be you.

    Wouldn't mind being 19 again either...that's the best bit. You've got a long time to enjoy it!

    Thanks alot! I'm stuck at work for the next 21 hrs. with my Caddy parked right outside, just begging for an all day, back country road trip. This sucks.

    Your roadster is cool as hell by the way...

    Seem's like the only peace i find is when i'm behind the wheel of an old car, especially lately.
    There have been time's i would just go for a short drive, to nowhere, just to try and clear my mind..
    Last night i was coming home from a friends hotrod get together in my 53. Just heading down the expressway listening to some blues, driving a little slow to make it take a bit longer to get home and just enjoying the ride.
    I think many of us do it, if not most.
    It's like the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow..

    Oh yeah, NICE roadster!

    Man, if I had a car like that when I was 19, maybe I would have had a girlfriend too. Both are looking good. Keep working on it, driving it and having fun!

    Jordan, saw the re-run myself, yesterday. Congrats and great job. You might just be the inspiration for my 18 year old.
    Thanks young-un.....

    When I finished my '32 Coupe, I told my wife to take it for a ride. She said no! I told her she should get use to it in case she has to drive it someday, like to work (security parking lot). She said no! I told her I put an automatic and an adjustable seat in it just for her. She said no! I asked her why? She said, "If I hurt your car, you'll divorce me!!!". I said, "Good point!".

    Looks like a fun time. Wish I had open areas like that, around me.

  30. That's what I love about hotrods and hot rodders, we drive our cars. Driving's what they were built for. These wimps that trailer their cars need to get out and drive them, they would really like them-if not they should sell them!
