Intro from a Throttler... at the salt

Hi, my name is Dekon (Deakon Shine the Deviator to the guys in the club). I'm a member of the Throttlers of Salt Lake. I am a metal fabracator by trade. I've been a lurker for months and noticed a few posts on my car before. I thought it was time to join. I have the '28 roadster pick-up with the radiator in the bed and the big 21" V-8 wire wheels.

Thanks for all of the help from the fellow HAMBers durring our misshap last week in Washington durring the Hot Rod a Rama.

Oh, by the way I'm making this post from the bend in the road on the salt flats... can't wait.. the action starts in the morning!

 

Hey Dekon, good to see the gangs all here. Got the Green Grenades new treads on the way. 16" think you'll like em. Anyhow give everyone my best. Wish I was there. Later, Marty

 

HOLY SHIT!!!! That is one bitchin A RPU!
I think ive seen posts on it before, but could you fill us in on some details?
Oh yeah, Welcome

 

Hi Deakon... I know you!

Welcome to the HAMB,,,,,,,A flathead without water pumps?

Got any pictures? HRP

 

Nice ride! - have fun at the salt. Let us know the highlights. I hope to get there next year.

 

Wow, that photograph is just stunning. Thank you for my new Desktop wallpaper.

I saw that RPU in the magazine along with a few of your friends' cars, I gotta say I'm jealous of the fun you guys are having. Good to have you.

Welcome from another Utahn. Say hi to Mickey for me.

 

Hey Dekon!
What's up, this is Steve from the show that had you guys towed up there on Hwy18. Hope everybody is Ok. I just wanted to make sure things went good with the storage of the truck. Let me know if I need to make some calls. Nice to see you on here. I am new as well. I hope to see you guys at billetproof.

<font color="brown"> Awesome! Real keen engineering going on there!
Being an engineer myself I can really appreciate what you have done. Keep it cool, make it flow!
Oh, welcome.
Cheers,

It is about time deviator.... I just wish I was there with you fella's!!! Have fun and give us a ring when you get home..

Whos all there, I suspect everyone but me?

 

I think you could still get it lower... maybe section the body?
I also dig the iron cross on the front... iron crosses scare people and are cool... Maybe pout a few more on the car... one on each door, one on the tail gate, put them on the valve covers... kind of make it your "theme"... Even though you don't need a radiator shell... you COULD make a shell that looks like a big Iron Cross.


BTW... welcome to the HAMB!

Sam.

What the fuck was that all for Sam?? Was that all really necessary? A bunch of sarcastic mumbling! You know as well as I do, that we dont need anymore BS on here, and your just adding to it like an ASS.. All you needed to say was your last line, welcome to the Hamb.

Hi Deviator!! I know you too...

 

Period-sam should go get laid..


Welcome deviator,kool rpu.

 

Deviator

Looks like you got your car dirty. Just the way I like 'em.

Repeat after me..............

I MUST get to Speed Week....I MUST get to Speed Week....I I MUST get to Speed Week....MUST get to Speed Week...I MUST get to Speed Week.....I MUST getI MUST get to Speed Week.... to Speed Week....

Oh....and COOL RPU..Welcome to the HAMB...Its a nice place to be....

But still not Speed Week

Welcome Homie, saw the rides in Ol'school Rod's, great pics.
Great cars most of all..

 

welcome Deviator nice ride.

 

Welcome Deakon. Kept seeing this herd of Throttlers going by everywhere I went this weekend.



Thought you were going to give the grenade an enima when you finally stopped at the HAMB meet Saturday.

 

I kept seeing your car SmokinJoe everywhere we went, but never met you.. maybe next time..

 

Ohhhh.... I'm Sorry! I had no idea that Deviator TM was the Annointed One! Thou shalt not bust Deviator's balls! He is holier than thou! All those from Salt Lick City shall be left unsoiled by the unwashed masses....

I either like or hate that RPU depending on how I look at it. Right now, while I admire the innovation and engineering involved and how he seems to improve it as he goes, the whole thing looks unballanced to me. No grill really messes with the fit and finnish as well as the ungainly lowness (Thou shall not poke the sleeping giant "Scrub Line" in the nuts with thine staff). We won't talk about the everpresent Ironcross (They are the pox on thou!).

But that's just me. Welcome. You have skills.

And I think what Sam said was FUNNY. Nothing more nothing less.

Samiyam is jealous, cause he's just a woodshop teacher and Dekan is a sheetmetal fabricator.

 

That car has balls!

Welcome Deviator!

 

I don't know what's more troubling...

The fact that you guys have no sense of humor...

Or that Buick 59 has so many pics of Units on his computer...

I like the way you've put that, it made me laugh, but Scrub line - shumb line! A 320 mph top fueler has the rear wheels above the scrub line. So do funny cars and prostock cars. They don't seem to be worried about it. I saw countless salt cars at the flats last weekend violating the 'scrub line' law. Man, I guess the 'scrub line police' have their work cut out for them!

Hey here's a thought: if you don't like YOUR scrub line violated, don't do it, but most of all, keep it to YOUR damn self!

If all you are trying to do is get Deek's goat, tease him about the way he trys to say aluminum. That gets him more upset than this subject ever will...
