east coast vs west coast-lets see em

after checking out all the nor cal and so cal cars,(socal vs norcal just for fun, show e'm) got me thinking-how bout a little east coast west coast-ill start-east coast

 

ain't this how 2pac and Biggie died?

 

I say West Coast wins.
If it was West coast vs. Texas, "we" might have a problem

 

Hahaha!!! Wait a damn minute. I live on the east. But you have a point about Texas, those guys have all the choice cars.

 

Dunno- didnt see any of your West Coast stuff... LOL

I could post some mad metalwork if you all want .... I think its just personal preference- Ive seen some really sick stuff from both Coasts AND in between

 

haha thats not a very good start

 

Put that truck on the Salt and youd be goooogazzz over it! You west Coast guys wouldnt touch what we start with as far as rust is concerned, 1 look and youd go the other way...

 

Here is just a bit of some of the metal Ive been doing and just some other random stuff ...just figured since I was East Coast (yo!) Id stick something here...46 Ford
58 Merc Commuter wagon
56 Nomad

55 Chebby
49 Chevy pikcup I did Bodywork & paint on

31 Model A

55 chevy truck



and yeah- we have so much rust we have to contend with. I personally think we have better fabricaters our East BUT the West Coast guys get the clientele that will pay $$$ for their work so they can experiment more

 

My East Coast contribution!

 

east coast?....

dont think its much different anymore
my cars look like west coast in the 40's and half the west coat guys are building channeled coupes like the east coast used to??

 

Aint that the truth!!!
I watched a '73 monte carlo get pulled out of the weeds last summer, and it broke in half. Life here in the rust-belt ****s for us car guys

 

That is for damn sure. A lot of the cars I see on ebay and craigslist (Mercs) are real real cherry out there. The one I am doing was such a God awful pile when I started, and I have another one that is in about the same shape for the future. I dont even wanna think about starting that project!

 

This is pointless.Some guys on the west are building east coast style and some guys in the east are building west coast style. It's all about what you like anymore. Me, I prefer both.

 

From the Jalopy Showdown 2008 EAST COAST

 

Why man? There have been treads like this in the past and they end up in a huge ******* match! Can't all of the hot rodders and customizers enjoy thoughts and ideas collectively? Is there really this huge need to split the left and right coast up? If you want to see the difference in style, look at the show threads and compare west and east coast that way. In all reality we are all after one thing, to put as many trouble free miles on our cars as possible....right?

 

funny,never seen any west coast cars driven in the mud

 

Well, why would they want to, its rediculous.

 

Now that BOYDE is gone the west coast is lost. The east coast has HOT RODS the west coast has BOUGHT RODS.

 

I will meet you at the DragStrip.............Littleman

 

The west coast has the roads and the weather,but the EAST COAST has the rides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You East Coast guys need to remember where all this "Hot Rod" stuff started to begin with! Besides I saw a Flamed East Coast Merc back there we would't drive anyways.

 

Whats the point of this thread other than to start a couple fights haha. A freakin hot rod is a hot rod no matter what ya do to it, or the style of it, or where it came from, or who built it. Its all in the eyes of the beholder. When I do my builds I dont look at other pictures to get ideas of how I want to build mine I just draw the damn thing out of my head and build it. Prolly why mine always take so long to build hahaha -Jon

 

You cali guys need to remember your history about why nascar came to be and how many moonshiners there still are...IN THE EAST.

 

True the east has NASCAR, and moonshine, and banging your sister. Congratulations!

 

As for the HOTRODSURFER pick up - The great lakes got you beat.

 

Uuuummm... Detroit? East side!
Spacifically, the 1902 Ford "999" built from scratch in a garage hot-rod racer!


First car drag race:
Pittsburgh... East side! [Also the home of the first car wreck ]

First custom body builder:
Fischer body... East side!

First paved road:
New York... East side!

Exactly what was california first with in the automotive world??????

Oh yea, now I remember... Emissions controls

 

Puff puff give....puff puff give...you ****in up the rotation...

 

wow! thought that up all by yourself? now get back in your hole ..

 

I went to the L.A. RODSTAR SHOW a while ago, if you took away the plastic 32's with sbc. you had about 30 cars to look at.

 

Ok Ok you guys were right and I have to apologize to all my East Coast brothers and I got to tell ya, I had never seen a John Deer Lawnmower go soo fast until you guys started racin em
