I would suggest to anyone considering this to be on set the entire time, and never leave your car un-attended with a production crew, ESPECIALLY for MTV! I have heard horror stories about what has happend to cars used in music videos and movies.

 

It used to be really bad, 10 years ago.
MTV is cheap and non union, so their insurance sucks, on "big" productions you have nothing to worry about.

 

Alex pm Jimmy White on here. His car would look good with the HEMI tearing it up down the strip. I believe "hemi coupe". Lee

 

Would this involve footage down in the LA River???

Franco Bertollini:
"I NEVER RACED'A IN A RIVER BEFORE."

 

I would be interested- possibly with my RPU. Also, no way my dad would let anyone drive it, but he does have a '42 Ford Convertible like white the one driven in the movies- pretty rare car.

 

When you hear MTV and Hotrod in the same sentance it kind of makes you swallow hard and think "...Uhh, this can't be good."
Whats the deal? Show, music video? Seeing our stuff on TV is kinda cool, even if its MTV.

 

exactly what I was thinking.. are they going to add 20's and bling for the shoot? What is the deal, whats it for?

 

I doubt Alex would be involved with it if it was going to suck.

 

I just talked to my buddy, Motormouth, and he's down with this if all the planets line up.

 

I hope the people who do this thing, make it NOT suck!

...Edit: What Muttley said.

 

My thoughts exactly. Why would a HAMBer post something about "Pimp my RatRod." Hopefully its something cool.

 

That holds true for most in that industry. Disrespectful jackasses for the most part. You can see the stupidity in the eyes of some of those stunt guys as they fight for who's going to thrash your car. INSIST you do your own driving, period, or walk. A bonus to that is they're forced to pay YOU as well as the car. Plus, most of you guys will look better/more comfortable in your own car than some of those hired hands

 

yes

 

thanxs your right
if at any time i think this WONT be a good thing for the scene or the view piont of our life style the plug will be pulled.
i just thought it was kool them wanting to do a 50"s thing over the import crap that kids are into today !
hopfuly it will be a plus for hot roding of tomarrow

 

first off i wouldnt let a set of 20's roll in my shop!
let alone be involved with something like that
and NO its not a music vidio.
its just like i said a recreation of the drag race scene from the movie grease with real hot rods and a 50's feel in modern time

 

alex, i heard as pay for helping set this up, MTV has bought you some new 20's that you're now rolling on the FU '54.... except now the FU would stand for fucked up. is this true?

uhhh, i guess i better stop talking shit or my caddy might end up painted "baby boy blue" or something....

 

Alex,cool they called you.
Did he mention I gave your number to them?
Stay on the set and eat all the food,always catered.

I also told them you looked like a "tough"

 

I had the same thought. Does the comedy Fast Inc. that MTV did ring a bell? Oh, that wasn't a comedy series? Could have fooled me because I laughed my ass off every time I watched it. It was like a train wreck, I couldn't stop watching it because I wanted to see how they made themselves look bad each episode.

You'll have to keep us updated on when it'll be aired.

 

ehh,,, MTV was way cooler in the Eighties, when hair bands ruled the wastland and all the chicks would get naked for blow..... not to mention there seemed to be way less comercials..... Now the hairband guys are on VH1, living in a house with mini me and ron jeremy.... But at least the chicks still like blow....

 

I'm glad they found you for this Alex...I don't know if they could've done better, but they definitely could've done worse!

Now...where's my sawzall??
