a-hole

did anyone see the new rebel rodz? the right hand drive sedan that has 6 pages on it was my car that i sold 2 years ago to a guy i northern cali. the guy didnt have the money to pay me for the complete car so i took the motor and air ride out of it and sold it to him. the guy after two years he put a motor and bolted air ride back into it . it was cool seeing it in the mag but after reading it the guy took all the credit for building it. he did say he bought it from some guy named Ian or something in vegas. he then said it was just a frame and body, so my wife got pissed off and wrote a letter to the mag and we are sending pic of the car done . i had this car at viva 2 years ago and it was it rolls and pleats. so to everyone that takes full credit for a car they didnt build you ****.

 

one of the reasons i dont buy car mags anymore....90% bs of a writeup and artsy style pics that you can only tell the color and its got 4 wheels....no detail

 

that ****s hope your wife let them have it!! yeah that ****s..

 

Let's see some original pictures! Post 'em up! That IS some BS and so are all those alphabet and/or grammer abusing magazines and that's the reason I don't buy THOSE PARTICULAR magazines.

 

BUT........When the car is for sale, it always says "Pro Built." Funny isn't it....

 

Someone decent would give credit where credit is due.

 

Interesting.. I sold my 32 ford 3 winder coupe last year and the new owner goes nuts telling everyone about the car I built. Thats the way it should be..

Oh, I'm sorry...
I saw the ***le of this thread, "A-hole", and thought someone was trying to contact me.

 

now that is some funny ****!!

 

Been there several times. I use to own a custom shop and did several cars that had extensive metal work, did the bondo work and finished in primer. The cars were taken to other shops for paint (my choice) The guys that sprayed the paint took credit for the whole deal. Happens too much and usually comes back and bites the guy in the ****. You are doing the right thing buy speeding up that process.

 

it must be a real gem if they featured it in that magazine.

 

I think you mean "grammar".

 

I only look at the pictures anyways.

 

ill try to get some pics up. i always seem to have problems getting them on here

 

"rebel rodz", I never opened one. let me guess, maltese cross headlights and barb-wire steering wheels with tattooed tweaker chicks. I bet it makes Ol' Skool Rodz look like "hop up"

 

I cant stand when people say they built it when you know that they did not. Thats just lame!

 

What's a rebel rod???

 

it's when you want it stand up but it just sits there staring at the ground no matter what she does to it...

 

It's that thing the Rebels used back in the early days,fighting the Redcoats,to put the ball down in their cap-n-ball rifles and Muskets...Come on! Everybody knows that,LOL!!!

 

You're funny!!! Didn't want to go that direction,HA HA HA!

 

a confederate fishing pole...

 

I picked up the mag thinking it might have some cool cars but then my eyes burned followed by my fingers and i threw that ****er in the garbage! Apparently a rebel rod is kryptonite. i hope your old car deserves better press.

 

I wanna' see the car an yway, have any pics? I don't want to buy the magazine.

 

if you do the work you should get the credit. if not you should give the credit i sold a chevy sedan10 years ago that i had cut 6 " out of the top seen the car last year and the owner went into detail on how he done it even had the pictures of it being built [ my garage and my wife was in the pictures.]

 

HA! Now THAT'S funny! Wonder how he explains that?

 

In a way, it is Pro-built. I mean, the guy essentially paid him to build it, so he's a pro. Sure, he paid him after the fact, but he paid him none-the-less...

 

In the owners defense, that could have been an editorial **** up.
It sounds like the guy tried to explain, he may have given all the
details of what he/you did but the mag condensed it down to the
simple explanation that went to print.

I work in the print industry and that's how it goes. Sorry.

 

In my case. My truck was in Northern Rodder magazine. After filling out two and a half pages of info on the truck including naming the original builder, there was no mention of him anywhere. I built the engine and made other improvements but did not do the original build. You can't control what the editors use.

 

who cares.....

 

INF you didnt happen to build a "spider" car?
