Motion Pictures Why would anyone want to build a stupid show rod?

Because everyone knows you can't drive them and they just sit around looking pretty. Hell, I bet there aren't even any guts in the motor and it isn't even wired or plumbed for fuel!

Well that is partially correct. My speedo sensor stopped working for some reason, so maybe you can time the telephone poles and tell me how fast I was going. ha ha ha

That's one helluva crazy link there to distract us from that show rod you're referring to!

EDIT...you fixed the video embed before I could finish typing...LOL

BADASS!

 

People build many different things depending on wha part of this large hobby we enjoy. It is possible that the builder enjoyes the show part of the hobby, just as the people who build and own perfect Classic cars that woudl loose a great deal of value if driven. Each to their own and more power to them if they are having fun.

 

I think maybe someone missed your sarcasm Plowboy...

 

Wow, you just wake up from that nap Mr Van Winkle?

 

Looks like you passed the chicken farm, in Napoleon Dynamite!

 

Wow. Now the fantasy has sound too ... sigh. You do great work.

 

Well, I counted about 2 seconds between phone poles. Now how far apart are phone poles, generally speaking?

That is a beautiful car bridging the worlds of rods and customs.

Do you have an emergency top release?

 

tried this link and straight from youtube,won't play past 2 seconds....is it me?

 

lets really see that thing go! doesnt look like you have any neighbors to piss off

 

and with that beard you got goin on all you need is a TopHat!!!!........... rad

 

Like riding in a Roadster but only better. You don't need to wear a hat!

 

Damn hooligans tearing up the roads, THE ROADS ARE FOR REGULAR DRIVIN' NOT FANCY DRIVIN'!!!

 

damn! its rare that Ill sit through a 9 and a 1/2 minute video. shit man, im wantin more! great video. thanks.

 

Hmmm...not a lot of other traffic out there!

Nice

 

Great vid.. Beauty of a ride!

 

About a foot and a half.

 

I don't understand why some one would build a "show rod" to drive...It just dosn't make sense, the purpose of said rod is to show, so there for it must be in optimum showing condition, driving would only cause it to be less than optimum...It's just so incomprehensable, that it is utterly amazing...

Fuckin' A that's cool dude...I dig it...alot

Oh btw, is that a gravel road? because if it is your even cooler!

 

its a lot quieter in the bubble than i thought
lol
tk

 

You couldn't have been going that fast... it took you 5 minutes just to get to the State Road. and you didn't drive under the sprayer?? Pussy. Hahahaha!

 

Actually it is quite rare that I pass even one car on my road let alone 2! You have seen a rarity there man! The sprayers and tractors however, are a common occurance this time of year. For once I am glad I had the upward view of a John Deere sprayer rather than the windshield view which has been more commonplace as of late.

 

Pull over Plowboy...........I had you pegged at 85mph just after you passed the tractor.

 

If that would have been me, I would have passed 17 fucking cops

 

It is an oil and gravel road. They just put gravel on it last year and I was too big of a pussy to drive it down the road. Now it isn't so bad. I already have 4 chips in the paint, so the gloves are off!

Chad, I had to stop for 2 cars, give a fella a break....and you know how rough that road is too. ha ha ha

 

Cool man. Was the air keeping up okay? Saw you adjust the vent a few times.

Doc.

 

man you live in the middle of now where,,, and I would love to see the face of the people
passing you on the other side,,, thats like seeing a ufo..

 

Looks like a nice smooth ride. After hearing the lift motor for the bubble I'd be a little nervous about climbing in.

Not matter what, it's a killer car. You build amazing stuff! Now go back into town & pick up a looser converter for that puppy.

 

Aaron...yeah buddy....rub it in real good....you got that hot cars and you drive em too. makes me want to throw rocks at my junk.

 

. . . and there we have the absolute coolest video ever posted on YouTube.

When I grow up I wanna be a Plowboy!

Yeah it blows cold. I was just checking to see if the air was on or not. It gets quite a bit of air when you drive it from the gap around the bubble so on cloudy days you don't even need the air conditioning.
