Need History On This Homebuilt Roadster

O.k. cut to the chase! How much did you pay for it? Please, I gotta' know.

 

Maybe because the guy is busy with his 5 window coupe that he has had since the 50's , maybe cause he is building a roadster, maybe cause he is building a cool sedan as well. Paint is just that , paint it can and will be changed at some point. ****ing style police . The guy has more hot rod in his toe nail clippings than many of the keyboard jockies in here do in there entire body!

 

Umm he bought it some where else and had it shipped to Fl...Jersey?
which doesnt make it right.IMO,ugly but if we all liked the same **** it would be pretty boring...

 

ugh!

 

That does look like the post-suicide doors generation Continental grill...

 

Ol' Skool Rodz called, they want to do a feature on your car......

 

Where is the throw pins, greaser to the bone, mopar742000 when we need him?

 

you actually paid real money for that?
holy ****

 

didnt that car win the ridler 2 years ago?

 

First, Welcome to the board..

Second, From the response you are hearing I do not suggest trying to sell that _____________ here in the cl***ifieds. I do suggest to start looking for...... nevermind.

 

Did he have any tools?

 

ya...a hammer and nails...looks like a wood go cart i built when i was 10...wonder if hes the guy who took my 5hp briggs and stratton

 

BWAAAAHHAAAA!!! I'm sure only a few of us got that one! I have to laugh, sorry!! LOL!

 

I actually saw something much worse than this about 30 miles from here, spindles were built out of plate steel welded to some rods or all thread or something to hold motorcycle wheels on. Axle was an piece of pipe with holes for the spindles. Fairly sure it was just stuck right onto the frame, without any suspension.

This car was pretty much full-sized, falling somewhere in-between Go-Kart and MG-sized. But...poorly executed.

Not sure what kind of engine was in it, it was all sheetmetal that was bent and tacked down here and there, painted flat-black, and generally looked like some kind of mutant parade vehicle.

Guy did have an Nice '64 AMC and Galaxy. The above car looked like it was pulling garden decoration duty.

 

Anthrapologists believe that to be true. Some kind of a walkin' across the ice theory or some such.

Personally I don't like anyone that's not from my block and I don't like most of them. Hell I don't think that a hot rod built anywhere by anyone unless its exactly the way I might have done it my self in my own garage if I had the skill is worth a ****. I actually don't like anyone here I only come here for the angst I wanna be a poet someday.

That said that POS is still an abortion anyway you spell it.

 

Yo Dude .... Just who the **** are u......I got a gold chain ok dont **** wid me..

When you gonna write **** down. It was 3 years ago and Boyds ol lady built it.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurp

 

OK. Everyone is giving you ****, but I really want to help. You need to reset the clock on your computer. April 1st is not until next Monday.

 

Ronnie Milsap built it from plans drawn up by Ray Charles.

Oh, I just got a little vomit in my mouth!

 

It all started one starry night at Hometown Buffet...4 bowls of chili followed by a couple bran muffins and a cup of coffee and viola!

oh my good lord. looks like the engineers from char-broil, jeep, and caterham all got together and built a car after drinking winners cup vodka all day.

 

The front is 5 lug, the spare is 4 lug.. Is the rearend 4 lug? or is it just for show..

 

Hey Jay,

I wouldn't tell anyone to do anything illegal, but...

I think the easiest way to ***le this thing would be to scavenge the ***le from a currently licensed car, along with the vin tag.

And I don't want to heap any more abuse on you, but, I think that you might find the outlay of time and money involved in getting a 'legit' ***le (before you even started on the paint/bodywork) might make you think twice about getting further involved in this one.

BTW: what does it have for drivetrain?

 

Too bad about the radials!

 

I'm pretty sure that going the Caterham-ish route would be the only decent looking way for it to be revived.

 

well, at least they had the foresight to paint it the correct color.

page 2- laughing my **** off!
page 3- laughing and crying uncontrollably!?

Ummm...yeah....why brown?

Beige is much more the Gazelle color anyway.
