    Whenever I feel bad about it I go to a gathering of about a dozen old timers with Hot Rods that meet in a parking lot near my house every Friday. Everyone of them have like 5 cars each and a barn full of old parts. These guys defiantly have the most toys. I'm 54 and I'm the youngest guy there. It's pretty cool and I'm sure some are members here.

    I knew it would be great. Thanks for showing me. I like the new rims but I liked the old ones too.

    Honestly started to post this one here after seeing the photo shop request for blue with scallops and looking for pics of em. I like this style too, Street freaky or not. You can raise the front quite a bit with bigger springs and balljoint spacers to allow them. no straight axle needed.

    What ever way gets you there. I love that old Gasser look. I do like when all the parts are chrome, straight axle and springs, but the cost. WOW!

    I use to take Ibuprofen all the time but haven't needed it in years. All I did was stop drinking soda(high fructose corn syrup) and stop eating sugar. Best thing I ever did.

    Did you get any thing done on it today? I'm on my way now to go take out my driveshaft and disconnect my clutch.

    Hope you feel better soon.
     
  25. The white is the way I'm going. The guys here that do the photoshop work are an invaluable tool. Much thanks guys. I'm about 90% healed from the surgery and i wouldn't have made it with my sanity without all of you guys to keep me company while I've been laid up. I've become a HAMB addict lol. We need a thread for psychiatric support lmao! I'll get back on the wagon this week and make some progress! Screenshot_20191221-220248_Gallery.jpg

    You got that radiator in yet? Surely you can get a buddy over there to at least set it in place so you can look at it! I hope you are healing up. It's no fun being down when you got new parts!
