Technical 327 no start and more problems found

This should be mandatory viewing for the "Build it your way" crowd...

 

Maybe to clear the steering box??

 

The mechanical issues are a safety problem
But the rest of it,,

Out here in So Cal it would be called Car Art, and I have actually seen some stuff that would make that truck look plain. And it seems the closer one drives to Hollyweird, there are more of them. Coincident?
Maybe the Mattel warehouse here in San Berdo would like it for their lobby?

 

Holy Crapoli !!

 

a friend of mine said the same thing this morning, he just couldn't stop looking at it.

it sucks you in........like the scene in "raiders of the lost ark", when they opened the ark

yep.

rumor has it the previous owner was a colorful rancher named woody, who sounded like Tom Hanks and lived out that way.

 

You failed to mention that this will be for sale soon! Too bad I only buy 32 Fords

 

[QUOTE="Saxman]Holy crap! I'm actually sitting here in front of my monitor with my mouth hanging open, at a complete loss for words. I can honestly say I've never seen anything like this. Wait, I have to go back and look at the pictures again. [/QUOTE]

Saxman,
It's kind of like driving past a car accident...you know you shouldn't look but somehow you can't seem to help yourself...

 

Ted, if you decide to pull back the boot on the master cylinder to look in there...you'd better wear a raincoat

 

My eyes...they're burning...please...make it stop...


Surprised I never saw that truck around. What town was it from?

Chris

 

The Town From Hell!

 

yes, that is next. the wheel cylinders and shoes are all new.

Danbury.
Chris, on a side note, i sold the rambler today, and it is going down your way.

 

You better get rid of that Fram oil filter too.

 

TB -

Good news. Is it coming to Monroe or a town close by (Newtown/Trumbull, maybe?).

Your friend Steve got ahold of me and I ended up selling him a bunch of Chevy truck parts.

Chris

 

I'd leave it. It looks like the best part of the whole truck.

 

Easton.
just got Steves truck back on the road. good stuff you sold him, it will be helpful when the time comes to do the restoration. his truck has really deteriorated.......he needs to save more money

 

Tb - Sold the truck they came with, and I still have some parts if you know of anyone else who needs stuff. A hood, bumper, radiator support, inner fenders, plus some other stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Chris

 

Bonus option, when you rev the motor, the fan blows various doors and hoods open........looks like feeding time at the zoo.
truck left today, with all the crap still on it.
drive shaft worked out great and the truck really drove nice, keep your eyes open for this at the next car show.

 

Thanks for the warning.

 

all I can think of is the scene in "Slap Shot" Paul Neuman=umm,you guys brought your cars?Hanson Bros=sure coach,we're on the road!

 

They always say you only need to find the one guy that will buy your car.
He found that guy

 

customer said he has a jolly old guy from out side the country interested in the truck.

 

I hear he has eight reindeer as a back up in the barn1 Joe

 

I just now saw these pics. All I can say is METH must be one hell of a drug!

 

All that time spent on junk, and the wiring was a mess, hopefully some of that cleaned up. Good looking truck under the gee gaws, nice looking paint.

 

he decided to sell it, so be civil while you battle for it.
actually a nice truck, if you ditch the "bling".

 

customer had it in his collection for sale since this thread started. this summer he removed all the crap and it sold right away............

 

THE END!

 

Ted,I missed this misguided attempt at traditional toy car display the first time around and I am so dumbfounded I can't even come up with any witty remarks,the only though is Why? HRP

 

Quick! Call the pickers. Frank will buy all of that small stuff.

What a hilarious thread! My sides ache. Although, I'm sure the mechanical part wasn't so hilarious to you. Ted, I've got a buddy who's building a '52 AD PU and I've been trying to give him some pointers on things he shud or cud do. I gotta send him these pix. He'll think I've completely lost my marbles!!

 

this car for sale?????
