well didnt have to work today cause of the rain so i wanted to tie up some loose ends and fix some things on the car before i drove it much more. good thing i did too i found out the cross bar holding my trunk floor/gas tank up had broken loose do to my hastly done welds. turns out welds dont stick to nice to rusty painted metal mmm who woulda thought So i took some pics of a few things as i went and thought i would share. just cause i love seeing my car posted on the internet first i made some purty little satin white scallops. but now im thinking it needs more but i must have restraint. Last week i got a bunch of these 30-6 shells and bought some bullets to put on em. i thought they would be cool as little valve cover bolt toppers. so they got drilled and tapped. allso added two to the plate on the back but they look kinda funny. i allso fix the gas leak on the sending unit today since i made my scraping blocks to throw sparks. just thought it would be a bit safer doing that with out the whole gas leak thing. and since i have to pull the air tank for the bags out of the way i wanted to clean up the lines and re do a few things so it would stop leaking down when i drove it. but i took a shot of behind the tank so all can see all that is bagged chevy. ok i typed to much just look at the damn pics i guess!!!!
lookin good, love the chop you layed on that thing, dig the scallops but id probably drag out the bottoma bit more. or go with some coming off the top of the wheel well like glassguys merc. lets see'r scrapin tim
well damnit why didnt i think of that!! i was kinda trying to steal the mercs style but not rip it off completly but forgot to look at a pic of his.
haha yea thats on the to do list all so i got the "help" return spring kit and this stupid ass long one was the only one in the pack that didnt take two feet to hit the throttle
i just did my rear. i'll have to get some pics we ran 2 pieces of 2x4 across the notch we made. here are a couple of pics before the 2x4 was put in. i'll try and take some more pics before i fill in the trunk.
Good god's Bry! What a novel for you!! I agree, you should have taken that scallop out further on the bottom......use that lump 3 foot above your wallet chain! Then use some red one shot and outline it so it gives it depth. Just a thought! I know yer partial to blue but it's too dark on your black. Maybe yellow?? Something fun! xxx Brandy
i can make more shoot me a pm if ya want some. there a pain in the ass to drill and tap but i can hook ya up. well i just got back from my first run dragging it!! what a sight that had to be. 45mph and a shower of sparks shooting from under it. went thru the intersection with it dragging i wonder what the people sitting at the light must have thought prob thought it was broke haha and im outlining it in lime green i think. what do you all think about another scallop on the rear qtr or maybe a longer one on the inside of the front one??? i think it needs just a bit more to set it off. i cant make the one i have longer cause where i put it it would be right into the door seam and would look dumb.. now i need to find some one to take pics of it dragging
sweet LOL they prolly thought look at that old car its fallen apart!!! LMAO the bullets are sweet. gotta few more things to finish up on the rhino (brandy's nic for the plymouth) and hopefully in june i'll be runnin round town again, then i can start on the model a truck i have. i might have to make a skid plate and drag it thru an intersection LOL.
Damn! Look at Mr Productive GO!!! The Ted Nugent valve cover bolts looks pretty sweet, but ya gotta do something with that scallop on the side...put FLAMES inside of it or something!!! Where's your air cleaner. man???
find me a air cleaner you did for my last car and no flames but what if i carry it up around the wheel well a bit more and have that one be longer??? throw me some ideas here but not flames ive flames on like my last 6 cars it seems
i just went out and checked and i can actualy run that bottom line across and not be into the door seam. if i do it right it will go right across the rocker. to bad its 11 and i have to get my ass to bed soon other wise id go out and do that right now
Love the bullets; gotta' have them there jacketed holler points (gotta' use the hillbilly accent). The scallop needs a black band in front of it at least as wide as the vertical part of the scallop. Longer - especially on the bottom - would be better too. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver" Giggle Cream - it makes dessert *funny*!
I bet they'd be easy as hell in my lathe... I probably drill and tap more stuff than most of the people on this board.... count me in for a decent cut and we've got a new racket!
haha i thought u of all people would like the bullets. we got them in fenton that one day we came to your place
It's a SERIOUS Rhino! Funnest little car I've ever had the pleasure to ride in! Bry do a lime green outline on that scallop!!! Maybe do another scallop on the same plane line as the first, but going the opposite direction.........if that just made any sense at all?!? Give us a real good side view of it for some photo-chopping! xxx Brandy[/QUOTE] well im confused but here is a side few before scallop
