24 hours later....I'm drivin the latest treasure

I got lucky.....cleaned the gas tank, carb, and put a new battery in it.....changed the wheels and headed out to the two lane blacktop. What a GAS!!!

 

that was quick

 

Nice........ Hey ur sig.. Saw steppenwolf in Louisville .. Cant remember how long ago but what a trip.
Yup im old enuff.........
Dave

 

Maybe tomorrow I'll buy a package of sawzall blades.....

 

I'm kind of diggin' it unchopped... drive the hell out of it...

 

Nice score Steve!Looks like you're having WAY too much fun!Ain't the weather great for it too?

Speaking of,"the 'Wolf";I just saw him on a Soundstage production a couple weeks ago.Still belting them out.Here's one for you:What was the name of his FIRST group? I have a copy of the album recorded at the Matrix in S.F. circa 1966.Also have his,"Lone Wolf "album;great stuff.

 

Yup..fun is the word. It sure felt good going for a spin today.

My fave Steppenwolf album is Monster....so many of the lyrics still hold true these days.....I give up on your trivia question....in 66 I was listening to American Bandstand with my older sister.

 

man... take 5" outta her hatch

 

I hope you honked the horn as you blasted past the previous owner's place.

Hmmmm....let me see...it's around here somewhere....gotta be a horn button somewhere on this ol heap.

 

Man Hatch, you sure you know what to do with two extra wheels and a top??? So, when are ya gonna paint the profanity on the decklid???

Killer score!

 

I like the chopped version.
So people really did use those chain steering wheels !
Never have drive a car with one.

Always wanted to buy a done car.What's that feel like?

 

Skip....I'm gonna letter "Stupid poopie head dumbell" on the decklid....THAT oughta make those pesky yuppies cringe with fear!!!!! .....I'm the toughest automotive enthusiast on my street.

Vap.....whadda ya mean "done car"???? I worked my fingers to the bone for at least TEN WHOLE hours BUILDING this car.....All I have left to do is get the decklid lettered....(see above reply to skipstich for the "X" rated text)

 

Hey Steve I'll trade ya a bitchin black and red Triumph and a useless racecar, how's that for a deal? I'm really liking it, I'll be stopping by soon.

 

You're going to sand it and put a fake patina on it after chopping it all up and putting a toyota motor in, right?

Looks like a fun ride.... put gas in it and beat the piss out of it....

 

+1 for leaving the roof alone!

 

I agree that is a sweet ride just the way it is, leave it unchopped

 

No........ +2. If I find he's whacking the top he gets the treatment I described in my post on the previous thread.

Frank

Another note to self....... Keep extra can of gas for chainsaw in truck

 

Verrrrrry nice but by all means,

CHOP IT!

 

I really like chopped and channelled a/bones....c'mon....I gotta chop SOMETHING!!!!

 

....I'll take the racecar....perfect motor for my 32.....and the triumph is still my favorite.....throw in the sedan....and your new welder and you've got a deal!!!

 

John Kay's band was called "Sparrow"
And contrary to popular belief, he always wore sunglasses, not because he was stoned, but because he is legally blind.

"Once the religious, the hunted, and weary,
chasing the promise of freedom and hope,
came to this country, to build a new vision,
far from the reaches, of Kingdom and Pope"

(yeah, that's just off the top of my head, I'm that old, too....)

 

I'd add 2 inches to the roof....

 

Eric, Having grown up in So Cal I saw plenty of lowriders that had chain steering wheels, but never ever saw one on a hot rod.

Hatch nice find. Now give it a makeover.

 

ummmm.....not so sure

 

Whack the lid Hatch !,....... ( don't be a poop, chop your coupe )

 

wow, man. thats a really clean rig you got there.

what'd it look like when you got it?

 

Leave it unwacked, drive the wheels off it and enjoy

 

gotta loose the chain steering wheel,ill give ya $5.00 bucks for it

 

Pretty cool Steve. Ya better drive the hell out of it today and tomorrow cause winter is coming latter in the week
