Purchased months ago, and now finally resting in it's new temporary home. Picked it up tonight, and friday he's flying in to meet his new car. I have a ba*****t full of parts and over the weekend we'll get it back on the road and ready for it's journey north. Then he will finally have a nice pair of shoes..... Tires, headers, exhaust (with cutouts) brakes, hood pieces and a few other items sit waiting for her.....
SCWEEEEEEEET. Damn I wish I could be there this weekend. I have never been a shoebox fan, but MR. Bleed chopped that one right. Damn that looks good.
Hell Yea!!! Have fun this weekend boys. That baby is gonna get some miles this summer! Can't wait to see it at Dixie Fried.
awesome!! Man look at that garage - I really need to come up there and drink some beer in there. Maybe even pee on a bush. Ya'll have fun thrashing this weekend.
I'll do it proud, Bob. I'm pretty pleased to have this car. And I'm pumped to get down there tomorrow to get workin' on it.
Cool looking shoebox Andrew. Congrats. I guess the moredoor will be forever forgotten now. You fellas enjoy this weekend and be sure to take some pics for us. We'll be with you in spirits.
What in the hell is wrong with the Champagne of BEERS??????? PS I drank nothing but Labatt Blue while I was in Mi a few weeks ago. Damn I love that ****.
After a long term relationship Bob Bleed decided to dump his high school sweetheart, so I'm going to show her some lovin'. It's kinda a blind date, we don't meet face-to-face until tomorrow. Dave, Blue?! Damn I've drunk a lot of that swill.
Just poking fun. I am actually thinking about switching to HAMM's if I can find a store that sells it.
Will it make the trip to MOKAN this fall?????? I plan on driving the Henry J along with Josh and the Can O Worms !!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it!!!!!
Damn Jeff, that's this weekend? I'll be in Boston. I would rather be here to lend a hand and enjoy a PBR. Have fun and good luck. Looks like a sweet ride. Murph
Damn Stewed I must have got you all fired up drinking beers and talking about the ride to MO. Wife says I am on lock down in August and after the baby is born. Mokan probably ain't in my future this year!! I am bummed. Jeff will stil be going I am sure! With that Merc. You can try and keep up with him. Here is a link to the last SHOE BOX WORK DAY! LISTEN TO DAVE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2CZ0W0TSeU
Get it going fast and I'll meet you at the Jalopy Showdown........ Let me know your schedule so I can meet you guys somewhere this summer.
I tore my **** apart, machine work(crank balanced,and lightened, heads reworked), carbs, converter, looking at getting rid of these big wheels and getting some Hallibrands front and rear, sealing her up to keep all the monoxide out of the cab and I'll have to chase Abone to MOKAN!!! He drive a million miles an hour!!!! Not to mention the divorce I will probably be getting when the total bill comes in!!!!! Just ****tin you. Baby in August ???????? Congrats on the next little hot rodder!!!!! Oh yeah,, Dave it will run a whole hell of a lot longer than that without coolant, just ask my wife, she ran about 30 miles in her momma van two weeks ago and only cost me a grand!!!! Cool ride!! Still no answer-----MOKAN?????????????????
Tyler....cinematics? we'll get that thing purring like a kitten....well it already does, just needs other goodies... Murph, we will be playing all weekend...sunday night too! dave....might drain the coolant out and see how long it will really run!!!!
Don't worry, there's no 30" wheel tubs or heart-beat graphics in it's future. It's running again and slated to get some metal work and paint instead of sitting in a field. Knocked a few things off the list this past weekend and drove it around for awhile. Got a long way to go, but it's been a bunch of fun already.
