whoops boned the picture post let me try again i guess i forgot how to post photos sorry maybe it worked this time
nice - I am having second thoughts about this show, and might pull off the late night drive and head up there tonight. Will go to a buddys house in Boise 1st then go to Tonys. maybe I will see you there..
nice - how about some burnout pix! cool truck in the background, too. Did you use half of a gas bottle as a tranny tunnel?
you gotta make it... its going to be great weather again... plus the local drag stip is hosting some big dragster shootout right down the road, and they have said their going to make a nostalgic class... just for tony's show so we can race
The railroad track suicide perch and the tranny tunnel aren't gunna ever break, that's for sure. Neat hot rod. The body reminds me of the one that my buddy Jeff and I built for his car/truck hot rod thingie...

[/ QUOTE ]...........Eric man you got that thing built quick ...........and you guys still dont notice the perch is the end of an axle off a 55' ford truck??....and its right hand drive to keep it balanced......from the torque of the motor and his 280lb week ass
These car's in their most stripped down,unfinished state say so much more than the over the top mega dollar catalog car's. The past,live's on though the idea's,talent and hard work of real people building real car's.
Your ride looks great. Only one problem I can see; you're going to get nose bleeds riding way up in the clouds like that.
actually i just wanted to see what it would be like to build and drive a right hand steering car... its a lot easier to put them on the correct side... because of that stupid starter but i really like driving it...
From the look of those pipes she probably is a quiet as a new Cadillac. I'm sure the neighbors never even notice when you fire it up!! Very nice!!
