Projects The bucket of ugly! A de-uglifying thread...

And I will just say Merry Christmas because I'm not one for worrying about being politically correct. I don't intend to be offensive or insensitive to anyone, just that I feel that saying Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah or whatever greeting should not be considered offensive to anyone.

 

And a MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

 

Merry Christmas guys. JW

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas all you bucketheads!

Steve

Happy New Year guys, so far its looking good. JW

 

I hope everyone had a great holiday! Mine was fairly quiet. Just the way I like it. I had some computer problems and got them fixed. Over the holidays, I tweaked and painted the tie rod and upper steering arm. Pics coming when I get some good lighting.

 

Ok, I set up some lights and here's the progress pics. First, I'm glad I thought ahead and got some 90 degree grease fittings. Gee..... I'm not as dumb as I thought I was.







Did ya notice the motor mount cushions are mocked up?

 

Here's my take on the "Holiday Season". Celebrate it any way that pleases you. Family, friends, food or even by yourself, like I did. But don't do it just for 2 months...... do it all year long. I try to do that. Sometimes, I fall short, but I do try.

That was a small soap box I was standing on and 3 weeks late. Yea..... what ever. Let's just build Hot Rods.

 

That looks very sharp and the red accent on the axle really pops....love it !! JW

 

Ya know..... when I'm working on her, I kinda don't notice the red accents. But when I step back and look or see them in the pics, it was a good decision to do them.

 

Good is right and you didn't notice it because it blends but you will need to have a red accent somewhere else to balance things out, even a pin stripe on something. JW

 

There you go Fred step back and look. Lots!

 

That's a good idea. I'll work on it. But it'll be subtle. I wish you guys could see what's in my head.

 

I dont want to see all of whats in your head, just the hot rod stuff will do.
Yes....... it has to be subtle, just like the axle. JW

 

Looking Good, Fred!

 

Pay attention.....

 

Seriously........ pay attention.........

 

It's a freakin' model!!!!!

WAKE UP AND POST PROGRESS ON YOUR BUILD!!!!!

 

"Let's see..... there's Hot Rods and T Buckets. Why? Weren't Model T's there first? Shit man, I like it that way."
Uncle Norm, after 5 beers.

 

My T Bucket is a........ "Hard Case".

 

By the way..... "Cool Hand Luke"?..........Best movie ever...... for the sinner like me and you. We win. Even when we lose. We win.

 

Shit...... off topic, but since no one's doing anything...... here's a film about a man who wouldn't sit still........



Ummmmm............. post T Bucket stuff when you can. Okay?

 

By the way........ you REALLY need to watch that video. ^

 

Passion........ Passion. It's what makes us head to the garage. It's what makes us hunt for the the right part at the right price. It's the phone calls to get your friends over to drop a block or tune a carb..... passion. Ugly? In the eye of the beholder. But..... there are "standards".

Guys...... let's just build Hot Rod's.

 

Show what ya got.
