I was hoping to read a report from Tuck of the road trip, or see some pics, or catch a video... Hot damn! Got all three!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us Tuck! You da man!!!
THat's awesome...I can't believe i got to work on that car..a little anyways.. more video... I am glad you got that car "don" in time. If I had a car like that, I would be "don" with cruizin around too. HAHA Got any shots of the drag action... evel and his latte, cl***ic... tok
that latte filled my GUNT up really good...It was a really good weekend hanging with all my homies...Im now de-frosting in Cali..But i'm really proud of you TUCK for Gettin er "DON" and making it to the Pile UP...And we even got to see 50 year old ****S....those were Ol Skool... evel
That explains everyone's reluctance to answer my "What the hell happened at Fool's on Friday?" question. Nice write-up.
There is no magic program to do this... I use my artist eye with a built in laser and aim it at the photo and ****. there it is... I do this manually for real using Photoshop and there is no filter... thanks- Its funny how everything that looks cool must be easy to do... I never wanted to be a pro builder but now I guess I am? I know thats a joke Root... -this is how I feel about this dry humor... and the cracks about being pro builders in other posts... this is not aimed at you at all roothawg. (ps pm me your addy I need to send you something) I hope you guys can read that this is all dry humor... You know what I think is funny... people take all this **** so seriously they can't have FUN. I was telling one of my Buddy's that if people have to wonder why I got this on the road "rough" without a spit and polish then they just don't get it... Don't ever lump me in with a pro builder anything, I'm just a guy who likes hot rods, likes to kustom paint, likes to draw... and I'm not trying to be anything I'm not. Don't lump me in with being a rat rodder as well... as this car will be built to kill some day. anyone that really truly KNOWS me knows what I'm all about... if you knew what I was going through in these last couple years you would take a step off your pedestal... and say damn... the same time Steve Hendrickson got kicked in the side so did I... but I guess I had the lucky ticket of life. I have nothing but respect for each day since Steve p***ed... I was thinking that on this trip. We are all lucky just to be able to do this... any of it... -watch me pro build my model A next cuzz I've been building up for a nice update... haha... and maybe you'll see something you'll like... Tig welded brackets and Kandy paint... or maybe not... maybe I'll put shackles on it that'll bug the **** out of everyone... now that would be funny. hahaha I did just get a new tig water cooler and torch today- FINALLY it came in the mail.. Why can't a guy have both the ying and the yang? I ask you do all of your builds have to be the YANG? if so I'll say I'm sorry... thats too bad... does that make a guy a gold yanger? *** is alot different when you're 18 with an 18 year old girl then when your 50 with a 50 y/o woman... **** trying to impress with perfection, I think ***us has the right at***ude- get it on the road and enjoy it before Its too late and you're ****in too OLD or expired... You can alway paint it/finish it when You're old... someone else can paint it when your expired. You can't take a PILL for this ****... you can't go back either... even at 50 with a 18 yo girl it isn't the same... at this point you become a CREEP to anyone else that looks from the outside in at you... Stay tuned for Amun Ra... show and tell is next week or the week after I have lots of stuff to draw here... I promise with this car PERFECTION. Thanks B***, after seeing your coupe rip around all I could think about was my own at home... and how ****in fast its going to be. I really cant wait for the first DRIVE. Brian that car is so rad its just not even funny... I built that 34 like a Tank. It just proved its battle ready. Now I'm really revved up to finish the A... and I have a WWII era TANK relic to drive while I do it hahaha... Now that I got all that out of my system... I'll keep you all posted EH- give me Pure maple syrup or give me death... everyone knows that the 55 pontiac trim was made in KANADA... Tuck
Hey Evel, let me guess, Boyd mows your lawn and pays you a dollar an hour because he ****s and should be destroyed. He ain't got nothing on anyone in that video. Time laps flat rules.
Congrats man..that has to be the best feeling...first real long trip and it makes it...makes you feel good...
Ha...that's pretty much exactly what I was saying to the guys that came with me on the trip back. We were in Little Rock, AR sitting outside Wendy's eating some burgers on the tailgate of the truck (the town apparently shuts down after 9pm on Sunday), when this dude pulls up and gives me the old "Hey what year is that? It's gonna be nice when it's finished." I say, "Yeah thanks, It sure is a pile of **** right now though, huh?" He drove off with a confused look. A lot (and I do mean A LOT) of people don't have enough vision to see an unfinished car and appreciate the beauty in the journey from nothing to something. They see a door with rust holes right next to a perfectly welded bracket or a painstakingly engineered motor mount and can only see the rust hole in the door. Count yourself as one of the lucky ones if you have the vision...the "force" if you will, Master Yoda. I know you have it Tuck... Thanks for the words about my pile...I'll have all the bugs worked out eventually, but it sure is ****ing cool (read: FUN) to be to that stage on a car that's been over 5 years in the making already. It took me about a week and a 15 hour one way trip to remember that, but I finally figured it out. Oh, and I can just about guarantee that your roadster will deliver the mail....add that prototype maple syrup injection and you might even be able to squeeze out a few more ponies.
I like your car. Wanna trade for my truck? Seriously dude, it was good seeing you. Wanted to catch up some more, but i had places to be and had to get home.
I don had a good time. Tuck, thanks for letting me drive the field car. I am a 34 Ford virgin no more! Bleed could not resist driving it in the plowed field next to the faigrounds too! Kick *** ride. You definetly have a tank. Great to see everbody again! Hangin witht the Danger Danger crew was awsome. Had fun tearing it up in Morris even if I couldnt hear my car! Suprised the 39 trans is still in one piece. Sorry I had to leave early on Sunday, wish I lived in cheese land so I could have drove with you guys. I had to drive to another time zone so getting an early start was important. Bob, hope your dad liked the ride in my car. Bret, i forgot your buddies name again,(with the long curley hair) but he sure did look pretty with the score light on! hehe. I **** at names gunt remember Skratch's buddies name but a riot he was! He needs a rod. Had a blast kropdusting for Evil as he shot some footage for MFIV....anything to the rumor of no 4 doors next year at the "Guntert" pile up???? Here is some pics of the Danger Danger crew rides........ The Don
Everything you did looks super. Can't wait to get mine out in the cool air hahaha. As for your hands go to the mall find one of the girls selling sea salt with a lotion in the kit follow directions it cleans your hands right back done to the pores
