    FYI the only multicarb setup you'll find for a small block olds is gonna be Dual Quad. Offy makes em new. Might be cool to use a couple of those single 4bbl to dual 2bbl adapters.....makes it 4x2.

    Skratch, please tell us what are the names of the national and worldwide publications that have committed?
    and what is the point that you need to prove?
    not busting your balls here but we need more info, your request is quite vague and I don't think anyone will take you seriously without the details.
    Thanks!

    mag info...american,japanese and german.trust me...

    my point...a desent,good lokking, porpostional,safe,good handling,fast,and cheap, hot rod can be built.not a ratrod!!

    this is what hotroddings all about.it seems like alot of people have lost the idea behind.sure,it's about fun too.but,i hate looking at these cars that look like 80's rejects painted flat black with red rims and radial white walls.

    i guess when your buddies come over and help they charge you?
    both of y'all can out to the garage and work.and get of the computer then..i've been on the hamb fo 5 years helping people and giving advice.for free!!i helped with the first hamb chop,using my skill and time and gas.for a guy that just wanted his car chopped.so,i don't think i'm being an ass.if don't want to help. DON'T!
     
  21. See if you can get a government grant and you can call it the welfare truck.
    Maybe put the title in an illegal alien's name, they get a lot of free stuff.
    Have you applied to FEMA?

    How about you just get hold of the Major mag dummys that your sure that will do features of your car? truck? and tell em to call me. Shit I built my own car with my own money its done looks good and needs to be in a few mags. If you can get free shit and get mag coverage then i guess im stupid . I never made the connection

    No smart ass my buddies don't charge me we help each other without asking people we don't know from across the country to give us hundreds of dollars in parts. You said build a hot rod cheap not for free with everyone' else's help and donations time and labor is also different than parts that have a price. I am just saying suck it up and save you don't build a hot rod in two weeks, alot of guys spend years building their rod.

    How long you have been on the hamb has no importance. its the fact that an idiot wants everthing handed to him. for FREE.
     
  30. Labor is one thing, free parts is another animal entirely. If you're in my neighborhood, I'd be glad to throw a few hours labor at it, but not my parts that I've worked hard to get.
