Thank you!!

 

i really liked it
that was interesting how he used the vacuum with reverse flow to paint the car
and i laughed when the little girl was chasing him down with the plates lol

 

Great story!
Here's the "back story" for the film;

That was a pretty cool little film, thanks for sharing.

 

wheel arches???

 

very cool

 

That's "proper" English for Fenders.

 

I watchd the first one but You-son-of-a-bitch-tube keeps comming up with an error message when I try to view the other two.

 

Don't mean to hijack this thread
but I think this is a bit more H.A.M.B freindly

Thought it was "mudguards"?

 

When the first one is over it brings up little things to click on and watch the rest of it.

 

Cool, I like the way he painted the car...

 

I dont have sound at work, and it was just as enjoyable! The classic Story!

 

I was checking out the salvage yard,I saw a Thames panel, anglia hood and some other interesting items....

Cool little story.

Thanks

 

Fun story. Thanks!

 

Oh fuck yeah, it's like that every day at my house.

Wheel arches is what we'd say for the wheel openings in a monocoque car - We don't use "fenders" normally unless familiar with american hot rod terminology - going fenderless for instance. For that car the front fenders would be referred to as "wings" or "front wings" and the rear fenders (as nicked by the tat man) would be "rear wings"
What rodders call cycle guards would be sometimes called mudguards - more commonly used when on a motorbike for instance.
The parts stolen by the tat man would have been called the rear wings and the radiator shell.

 

I liked the garage owner, who worked in a coat and tie!

 

i like how the brat kid turns into his number one helper, lol

whats a TAT man?

 

The tat man?
It aint a guy with tattoo's!
It's the old geezer collecting scrap with the horse and cart.

 

I dunno what you guys think, but I say the dog is a great actor !

 

Very enjoyable. My only question was why he picked out the car he did when there were ton's of really cool cars in that junkyard. The other thing was you need to suspend disbelief because in the real work that little girl would be in College when the car was really finished.

 

I'm tired of watching him drag that dog around!!

 

Awesome, oh the memories that brings back.
There were tat men with horses all the way into the early 70s. Didja see the 'rubbish' on the cart? It's worth thousands now.
I'm glad the poncy git in the sportscar got what was coming.

 

Any man who hauls his frame to the mechanic in a wheelbarrow is fucking awesome ... who needs a tow truck or trailer when you can just push your rolling chassis to the mechanic for an alignment. That was great.

 

cool
thought it was great,thanks for the post

 

greatness... deserves a bump

 

actually

• fender= wing
• bonnet=hood
• boot =trunk
