    fucking gay... Do they stock those at Auto Zone now? Did I mention I didn't like it?
     
  6. CalifCarl, don't those comments make you just wanna tear that off your car and do what everyone else does?
    Beat to your own drum man. I like that it's different and thank GOD it's not an iron cross! Constructive criticism is a foreign thing to some people.

    Since you are the authority on what is cool and what is not,
    why don't you enlighten us on what's acceptable and what isn't? Please show us the grill on YOUR hotrod and let us compare which is better....you do have a better looking grill on your '32 don't you?

    Looks good, and you made it yourself, which is the coolest part. Any idiot can use a credit card and call dial-a-rod. I do hafta agree on those marker lights, those do have homosexual leanings. [​IMG]
     
  10. I have seen worse, but Carl, the grill is good, but like the man said I have to agree..(intervention) those marker lights might cause others to become violently angry when they have visual contact with the lights. If you did that grill we have faith that you can and will overcome the orange marker light dilema.....let's see the rest of that car! Looks nice from what we can see

    LOL, I view my project as a work in progress. This is the progress after eight years in the making. Always wanting to be different but not to the point of being rediculous. Which was the hot rod way as I remember it.

    I plan on making a new headlight bar in the future and will take the turn signal light issue under advisement.





    Here's the dash of a diffent color, contructed of oak and fiberglass. [​IMG]


    The interior is the only thing I didn't do on this car. That was stitched by my brother.

    I never labeled you as being gay, but if you feel this is a good time to talk about your homosexual tendencies, by all means feel free to express your thoughts on the HAMB.
    Why do I have to have something to compare to something I simply don't care for? Since I don't like his grill design, then I must have a better design before I say I don't like his? Okay, whatever. I just don't like his grill, period. It is ugly. Yes, I am talking shit. [​IMG]

    Honestly, if that were my car, the interior would be gone, the tilt column AND the grille insert. It's harsh for me to say this, but I can't be anything but true to how I feel.

    Feel free to bag on my endeavors, I can take it, and I have.

    I got some shit for the quarters I made on my '34.

    I'm disappointed Nads doesn't like the the tilt column.

    I wish it was a tilt column, then I could get my ass in and out of it alot easier. 87 S10 not a tilt.

    I wasn't looking for total approval, constructive crititism is fine with me.

    At least I know now that I need to dump the tilt column and then snag me some mexican horse blanket to replace the interior.

    I'm still waiting for my red steelie with wide whites to come in. Not! [​IMG]

    laidout,
    It's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it. If you don't like it, I'm sure there's a nicer way of saying it than "Fucking gay" and "Do they stock those at Auto Zone?"...you sound ignorant and self-righteous.

    CalifCarl,
    Good for you man, you had the testicular fortitude to step outside of the box and do something a bit different, you always open yourself up to criticism when you do that. I am personally impartial to the grille flames, however it does accent the flamed door panels nicely and keeps an overall theme. But you made the grille yourself and judging by the rest of your car, it looks real nice and your workmanship looks excellent...way better then some of the trash I see in 'Ol Skool Rodz that people try to pass off for finished cars. Keep up the good work.
     
  26. laidoutford.......I wonder what you were implying when you stated "FARMER (now I know why you like the flames)"? sounds like you're calling me a flamer? Pretty tough of you when we don't know Who you are, Where you are, and Nothing about you. (I'm refering to your lack of Bio-fuckin newbie)
    I might be your neighbor dumbass. Lose your tough guy badass "fuck rat rods" attitude and then come back.
