the little hot rod saga

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Paul, Apr 13, 2004.

  1. Excellent post!!! I built my roadster pickup by chopping and shortening a 31 sedan, and boxing a model A frame. I built the bed from scratch. I posted my "build" on clubhotrod. You have done a very nice well do***ented job. Congratulations.---Brian

    Dude,

    That is the best and most entertaining post I have ever spent 40 minutes lookin' at. I am in the middle of my build on my '29 Roadster and you give me hope dude.

    Although your skilllzz are way beyond mine!

    Great job - and I love the end video - talk about a sweet finish!!!

  6. Great effort, this is why the HAMB is such a complete package.

    As a part summary, what did you find to be the most usefull tools for the job? Obviously the biggest tool was using your imagination, but as far as in the workshop, you seemed to love your plasma, grinder, welder, hacksaw, plywood, and mobile workbench......any other great tools/items you'd highly recommend?

    Well done.

    Cheers,

    Drewfus:)

    Hot damn Paul. You really *are* a ruler.

    That was the coolest post I've read about a car, ever. Great car. Great build. Great pics. Well picked words, and I love that the whole thread was cleaned up for just the goods. The vid is the perfect capper...and man it sounds *really* cool.

    Right ****in' on!

    Haha, Paul that video is great! Although I followed along when these were originally posted I took the time to read through it in it's entirety to capture the build in a nice steady flow. Well worth the re-read.

    What an awesome group of posts. I've soooo many ideas now. It's nice to see how some things get down to better understand what people are talking about. My Father and Uncle have talked about that kind of stuff for years but I never got to see it (they are into resorations right now). Thanks for taking the time to do***ent and share your build.

    Hopefully Ryan or Grimlok will wipe the replies off this & post the step-by step build in the Tech-O-Matic. After such an effort by '60's Style, & considering it is such a well engineered little car, it's the least they could do.

    Imagine how helpful this would be for someone who has never built a car. This deserves to be saved.

    Isn't it more like 4 and a half years old? Ya, I think it's one of the most in depth, inspiring threads on the HAMB.
