Hello, Im Moparchick. I have a few Mopars, and a Chev. My current state of residency is somewhere between pretending to be sane, and not giving a fugg... four-thirteen invited me, or at least exposed me to the dark side of the HAMB.
Well...ya prolly wont like my Mopar, I have a Neon with a roll cage, I drag race it and autocross it. I do have some redeemable qualities however... I have a 1952 Chevy Short Box. Right now it is in pieces. It's a frame off job. Got a front end kit from Zig's (Mustang II front end, rack and pinion, 2 inch drop spindles, and Camaro brakes). Rear Posi Disc, 283 with camel back heads, Weiand Stealth, Edelbrock carb...the usual...
anyone that admits to owning AND liking a MOPAR can't be ALL bad........Welcome. Oh by the way.......sorry to hear about the Neon.... (I have to WORK on those shitbox's for a living!) [image]http://photo.starblvd.net/~SKR8PN/1-5-5[/image]
well here is a picture in it's almost current state... (edit...picture file is too large and I am not sure how to shrink it. If someone wants to help, that would be nice.) also have a 73 Honda CB 450 motorcycle too. Stored in airplane hanger its whole life...fwiw. Dad and I have done a few old cars... 1937 Chev Business Coupe 1941 Chev Special Deluxe Homemade "Mini-Rig" half 1 ton frame with scaled down semi truck body and 3116 Cat. 1968 Corvette Many many old pre-1950s John Deere tractors... and yes...four-thirteen can be quite the...problem maker!
Right on. A ricer chick on the HAMB. Are you runnin' high 7s with that top fuel NeoDrag? Sounds like you're off to a good start with that Chev. What are you planning on doing with it? Got any pictures?
gawd I love being called a "ricer" (rolling my eyes) what else can you buy for $2000 that runs 13's NA, and gets 30 mpg? anyhow...I figured I would get picked on cuz of it, but hey thats cool. Car looks bone stock from the outside, but it idles like a v8, headlights even flicker cuz of the cams. No loud exhaust, it even looks stock...taken a few mustangs by surprise... Right now the truck is just a frame, I need to clean it up and get it painted...any suggestions on what paint to use? Once that is done, the cab and box go back on, the rear and front end are all mounted, so pop the front clip on and drop the engine in, and ta-dah! Let the nickel and dime time begin. Got a Painless Wiring kit to throw in it, a Caddy steering column with tilt and tele, column shift. Thinkin of putting in my Powerglide tranny for added uniqueness, but Im not sure I will have enough power to get it to move with that under it... Thats about it...got some purple goodies for the engine. Truck is green like what it came with originally. My grampa got the truck for me when I was about 12. He restored it and put a straight 6 in it with the 3 on the tree. It sat after he died and now its getting the makeover...The 283 is out of my great grampas 67 Chevy truck. The whole project is sort of an heirloom...
Easy guys, this gurl knows her shit. If I asked my G/F what a Caddy Tilt/Telescopic steering column was, she'd think it was something to look at stars with! Sounds like a nice project. Heirlooms/Sentimental value go a long way (into the pocketbook) towards a nice project. I'm sure all of us would love to see some pictures...
got it to work. thanks here is a link to some of the rest of my junk and a pic of the truck before it was torn into pieces. http://communities.msn.com/yamaha/aliciasnewbaby.msnw need some updated pix...my new/old bike isnt in there yet.
HAHAHAHA yeah no kiddin huh? poor thang has been apart for over 3 years. I got a burr in my saddle pad and moved to Cali. Now Im back in the frigid tundra with four-thirteen shoveling snow. Anyone wanna come over and help scrape frame? haha The crossmember for the tranny is about 3 feet wide where it mounts to the frame. It ended up seeing some salt in the winter years ago and after my grampa died it sat. each side of the frame where the xmemeber bolts on were gone! completely gone...had to weld new patches in. looks really nice. dad had to do that one, as I was afraid of doing some major damn-age.

Gonna be tough to see with that VISOR!!!! ....welcome...apparently you know more about cars than most of the guys around here.
Isn't there someone on here with a Neon with shaved handles and flat black? Much meaner looking. Chicks who like cars for any other reason besides they look good in them are cool in my book. Welcome!
kinda new myself, but welcome. at the risk of sounding sexist, there's nothing radder than a woman into cars...
Cool, another HAMBER CHICK tm. welcome, cool crap.. All we need now is a 18 year old chick from down south that just happens to be single and maybe has a shop or somethin lol. There just happens to be no good pickins of females this here part of the world me thinks. I'm movin....muahahahahaHAHAHAHAH!!!HHHHEEEEHEHEHE TEEE EHEHEHEH Ha ah phew cough cough...
thanks for all the props guys...man i would sure love to chop and shave it...anyone got tips on this truck? needs new glass anyways...(mind wandering...) as for the tractors, we have a john deere model b, a 70 and 2 720s (one wide, one narrow) hey spudz, if it makes ya feel any better, im 22 and my dad has a shop! lmfao lucky boy: four-thirteen gets to see me in a dress tomorrow! maybe if he is lucky, we will get a pic together...his brush with fame! post-script: sorry no caps tonight kids, i just painted my nails!! hmm...nail polish and hamb...this could be a new trend!
There is a 22 year old blonde who has a pro-street '67 Camaro that's hot pink where I live. She can barely drive it, I think her dad built it for her. He probably needed an excuse to build something - who can blame him?
while versace and hilfiger are tragically hip,there's something about a chick in a simpson firesuit...shawiiinggg! oh yea but mopars are gay! welcome aboard...
holly shit.. lets see thats only 4 years older then me, and yer dads shop will work... hmmm...... lol yeah I know I know sniff sniff......
Where the hell can you find a 13 second neon for $2000??? I had a friend following me home, me in my chevy II, him in his stock NEON, and I just took off from the stop light like I always do (1/8 throttle or so), I pulled WAY ahead of him, and when we got here he told me he was trying to race me!!! BTW: WELCOME!
WELCOME. sounds like you really know your stuff. it's cool when girls actually know how to work on cars cause it's so rare. at least in my experience. i'd like to have a daughter just so i can teach her to work on cars . dig the Chevy. where in the "frozen tundra" do you live?? Mike Brimm
