The "this is just wrong" thread

That '67 Chevelle deserved better.^

 

You got that right............... that might be the blond in the Tbird in American Graffiti though.

 

Trust me on this, Hansen knows blonds!

 

.......

 

You were ripped off. Go get your money back............

 

Have you ever read a novel and created a picture in your mind of the characters and settings and then watched the movie version based on the book? It is always a let down to me.

It is like that with this car. I heard the song long before I saw the vehicle and I had something so much better dreamt up in my imagination. It's not that I don't like this car, it was just a big disappointment for me.

 

And don't take me wrong, like I said I like it but the car I conjured up in my head as a kid was a lot more hot rod and a lot less custom. "little deuce coupe, you don't know what I got" doesn't apply to a hoodless, blown flathead. And wears the lake pipes dammit?

 

That didn't help your case. It has to have a ported and relieved, flat head mill.

Oh, so many wrong things here.

 

I expect that was the idea.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should…

 

I like the International Harvester grille...

 

Almost looks like a rat rod..

 

Yeah!, it reminds me of the first "JAWS" movie.... I read the book before the movie came out...

 

The guy is living the life, having fun with HIS ride. You or I don't have to like it, as long as he does. I suspect he built it the way he wanted to. It looks like it might be safe to drive, and safe to drive near it. Some of those "rat rods" are actually done pretty well. The builders just don't want to conform to, and fit into, the boxes other builder's think they should.

 

The Cadillac tail lights, PERFECTION!

 

Facebook showed me this today…

I can’t tell quite were the (Taurus?) comes into play. It’s quite the chimera.

 

Works for me
