Maybe, just MAYBE.....we could get Universal Tire to become an Alliance vendor and "sponsor" the Hag with some cheap rubber???
how the hell do you manage to get any beer drinkin done while your doing all this work??? wtf!! your makin me look like a rookie! looks awesome.. ps have i ever mentioned that i think you should chop it?
Dave, trust me, there is no shortage of beer drinking going on. However, I did slack off last night. I fell asleep on the couch when I got home from work. I woke up just in time to watch Nip/Tuck and go to bed. Ha Ha Ha
well im glad to hear this.. i thought you had your priorities f'ed up!! nip tuck is great for getting sleep. like a porno i only have to watch it for a minute then i make myself sleepy! haha
Too bad this Sea Hag costume I saw online isn't for sale, or else I would buy it for you to wear when you drove the truck.... Nip/Tuck is a great show. I Tivo'd it last night since I was out Trick or Treating for Flatheads...more on that later.
hey what about using tubing, and following the countour of the quarters to make almost a rear grille kinda like the r&c dream truck.. just a thought
Megan, thanks for looking out for me! I'll just need the mask, because the rest of me will be nude, of course. Do you think that just wearing the little cape to accessorize would be sexy though? I think I am just going to go with the cokers and support our HAMB alliance vendors. Of course I'll be getting my discount as well.
Well, I have been super swamped at work but managed to squeeze in a few hours on the Sea Hag again this weekend. We did really well until the bottle of Jack Daniels came out. It was all downhill from there. This tailgate looks too good for this truck! ha ha ha I made it out of 1 inch square tubing, then wrapped it with 16 guage sheetmetal front and back. I then emblazened my name on it for a chunk I snagged off of an old "Grote" flare set. I used some hardware store safety hasps for the latches and some spring loaded clevis pins to hold it shut. I think it turned out well. I just need to work on the lower end of the bed to tie it all together now.
thats some world class fab work rite there!! no joke. however those tailites aint gonna cut it! the rest is to wild and welll done to have those stuck on there.. ill be brainstormin
Thanks Dave, but you are under the impression that I really care about this truck. Ha Ha Ha Remember, it is just going to be a beater to haul my beer to Bonneville. It just turned out a little better than I though it would. If I make it too nice I won't want to take it out on the salt! Ha Ha Ha I don't have a "staff" to clean my truck for me, and I am too lazy to do it myself. ha ha ha
I think the tail lights look good (but different) with the Lincoln quarters. Really like the "Grote" script ! 41 Dave
I seem to remember Aaron saying he was going to blend the tail lights in somehow though. Rome wasn't built in a day, and you can't grow a mullet in a month. Looks good. The Grote plate is a killer touch.
There is a coin operated carwash right in Wendover. Its next to a mini mart that sells beer. We sat in the parking lot and drank beer while Chris 50 washed off his truck. I remember throwing some empties in the trash can that sat right under the 'no loitering' sign. We also watched the 'shift change' in progress. Lots of hot women walking from work to their apartments.
So what are you saying, you want to wash my truck for me? Billy Ray Cyrus wants his mullet back, he even sings about it! click here. I still have work to do on the lower portion of the bed. The frame rails were lopped off and it will get a little valence panel below the decklid and tie into the lower pieces of the bed that I have yet to add. Somehow it will all wrap into the taillight area. I'll figure it out over another bottle of jack some night. ha ha ha Thatnks for the props Craig. I'll have to take you up on it....after your nuts heal. Ha Ha Ha
No. Just letting you know that facilities are near by. But I'll drink beer while you wash it. And as the girl walk by I'll yell "why you no call me?" I saw him live and he did this song... it killed me! (disclaimer: I was at a 4th of July fest with a gal and BRC was the 'headlining' act. I did not choose this venue nor did I go under my own free will. 'Vitamin P' made me do it.)
one question for u aaron... does ur brain hurt when u think this shit up???? by the way i love the work u've done.....joe
I don't know which of those is the hardest to believe: A: you had a date.....with a GIRL B: you didn't want to see Billy Ray Cyrus perform Don't tell my heart, my achey breaky heart. Joe, it only hearts when I have an idea and it sticks in my head all day until I go home and do it.
COKER should GIVE you any set of tires you want for the publicity this truck has, and will, generate during and after the build. I'm on it.
Clark kind of turned me on towards those Gooyears like he ran on his 32 from Lucas. They have and aggresive tread but don't have all the road noise of the knobby Cokers. I plan on doing donuts in this thing in the snow all winter PLUS drive it to Bonneville next year. I need to split the difference on cool looks/functional tread/and price. I do have a top secret project that I would rather be spending my money on! Ha Ha Ha
Haha, We missed you at the pileup. I feel sorry for your dad, having to tell everyone who asked where you were that your nuts are on ice.
It was kind of sad seeing your dad crusing around with out you but he did have enough Ice with him just in case you decided to come.
Well work has been kicking my ass. I have been working 12 hour days with the exception of thanksgiving. I managed to squeeze a little welding time in while frying my thanksgiving turkey and when I got home form work. Anymore it feels like if I don't put in a 16 hour day that I haven't done much. Ha Ha Ha I can't wait until I get to my "winter hours" at work. Anywho, the bed for the sea hag is pretty much done. I added about 6 inches of skirting to the bottom of the bed and added a little valence panel below the tailgate. I also filled in the pockets where the taillights are. I cut some filler panels for the front of the bed too. It was kind of a quickie job but I am tired of working on this thing. ha ha ha
that thing is a disease... send it to me for proper disposal. you do know this thing is gonna get out of hand, dont you? lookin good bro, seriously
