    dude you are seperating yourself waaay more than anyone is not accepting you.

    trust me I know it when I see it. I have done the same thing for years...

    if you dont get it about the nose up then dont build your car that way...

    if you want to bag it then bag it if some one calls you a mini trucker tell them they can buy the car from you and do what they want with it.

    but for tradition sake there is a formula, and no one says YOU have to follow it but there are those of use that the formula used speaks to our souls...

    it doesnt mean we hate you, its just what we are into bro.

    so that said chill:D

    you sport coupe in your avatar looks rad, seems like you get it, so quit being antagonistic and enjoy life and you wheels!

    Sounds like a cool project coming up Striper! Can't wait to see another early Ford hit the streets....

    Did someone say.... 'Wise Guys'? Sam nailed this one for sure.

    Can someone in Oz give us a bit more detail on Sam Apap's 36 (pictured). I have caught a few posted pictures and it is teasing me. A very cool car indeed

    Most definitely a cl*** Custom. Slanted B pillars & rounded corners are great styling idea. Improves 'Flow'. Rikster's Matranga inspired hard top treatment goes to the top of the cl***. MmmmMatrangalicious. I am considering legally changing my name to Rick Matranga.

    Here are some shots of my 36 Ford 3 Window hot rod, done in the flat primer black. The car was built by Jerry Slattery, Gene Bliss and the metal work was done by Ron Jones prior to his p***ing away. Many more no doubt had their hands in the build, as the car was featured in several hot rod builds during the engine build and body modifications. I was fortunate enough to get a hold of the great car guys who made this car happen, now I can finish it and enjoy driving it to the shows in Washington. Good luck with your build.

    I agree...What is wrong with a toe curling hot rod? 35 and 36 ford 5 windows almost seem like a cheap subs***ute for a custom 3 window. 5 window cars have hot rod at***ude. I say run with it. I have no hate for 3 window cars, but it seems like it's becoming trendy to have a tail dragging 3 window. Wearing Kevlar so feel free to unleash your ****nal!

  20. What rocky marino pictured, but it's your ride, do as you please. Hot rods are more fun to drive.
