had some of the guys over to help me turn the car around. i'll let you make your own captions, suffice it to say helpful suggestions were flying thanks for the help fellas!
I don"t think any of those are going to be any HELP, Hands in the pockets would be the first indications.
Wish I had that body sitting on a proper set of deuce rails without all the craprod stuff hanging of it.
Well they don't look like the working type or at least not on your ride. Looks like they are trying to figure out on just how to tell you...lol
Mr48Chev, Please be nice that car is on it's way to becoming a vey nice old skhool hot rod. He is just not finished it yet.
Looks like "been there, done that" type of guys. Why bother doin' it some more - more fun just talking about it, speculating, commenting, what iffing, why a SBC is not between the rails (just trying to get your goat), and various and sundry other geezer utterances. BTW, is that a 240 or a torquey 300? Nice job on the induction side!
How many ratrodders does it take to turn a car around? 4. One to do the pushin, 3 to admire the mismatched parts!
This thread reminds me of a story. We were in CA back in the 90s, a junket to Pomona Swap meet from NH. Anyway we met Kent Fuller through my brother in law and saw the Pebble Beach entry he was building for a high roller in Hollywood. Seems the car was going to be finished, then shown to all the "luminaries" of the auto world in the area at a cocktail party. They would each get a pad, a pen and get to write down anything they were critical of on the car, along with being provided drinks and finger food. Then they were going to correlate the results and tear apart all the areas pointed out as needing work and redo them. If I were to do such a thing, which I wouldn't as I don't give a rat's crotch what anyone else thinks about my car, I guess it would be beer and brats, construction paper and crayons, and the knowledge that at the end of the night, you couldn't read anything on the papers for the beer stains, the pork grease and the illegible writing. And yes, Autobodyed, it does look like the Oregon State Pocket Pool finals.
At first glance, I thought he was playing a harmonica..... If you want any work out of THOSE guys, you need to sew their pants pockets shut...
I think I hear the banjos now...lol lmao... well that is funny shit right there. thanks for the laugh boys just what I needed today Oh yeah pink house, pocket pool champions WTF do you call your club...lol sorry just couldn't resist just in fun guys Cheers
Guy in the middle "Now see those carbs? Those are Weber 48 IDA's, and they are worth more than the rest of this thing" (maybe that's why the gut threw up a little) Then again maybe the middle guy is jealous becasue he doesn't belong to the "Jacket Club" that the other two do.
I hope he shows this thread to his buddy's. Them are pocket pool champion jackets and you don't come by them easily you earn them...oops...lol
I told 'em i was gonna hang a sanding block from a chain on the car. if anybody really wanted to help, they could always sand something maybe a suggestion box too.
