Hey Spark, I figured you Aussie boys would think this is too girlie of me! I mean you guys eat like raw alligators for lunch, right?
Don't a bite from those things like kill you skin??
Ok, so I'm curious. What was your worst experience cleaning out that rusty old project you brought home? I can tell you that I'm a little afraid...
My first choice would be an old HEMI with a pushbutton torque flight. I think that would give it some cool. But then Hemi's are getting expensive....
OK, guys and girls. I just bought this beast. I have been having a love affair with '48 De Soto's for sometime. Finally found one that I could...
Rigideon: Do you have pics of the chop in process?
Kevin: Never mind on the pics. I'm looking at them now at your site.
Kevin: Looks like you are an expert cutter and paster! Is that avitar your Buick? Would love to see more pics! Gary
Well, I'm glad to know I'm being "traditional"!!
Since I don't have photshop, nor do I know how to use it anyway, I spend most of my design time with an exacto knife cutting and pasting chopped...
First off, leave it a hardtop. I absolutely love the lines. I would name her (it is a her, correct?) Jezebel. Why that name comes to me I have no...
It looks like I may be picking up a '47 Dodge 5 window 2 door sedan. I'm hoping to pick the thing up in the next few days. It's rough but seems to...
Ironworks: That is one beautiful car that you have there. Can you post more pics? Thanks! Gary
I have a choice to make. I've found 2 good project cars, a '48 Plymouth 2 Dr. Sedan and a '50 De Soto 2 dr sedan. Can't seem to make up my mind...
By the way, just out of curiosity, how hard is it to find an early Hemi? This must be a very stupid question...like impossible I guess. Seems to...
Geez, lot's of great cars. Thanks for all of the pics. Shawdow, love the chop on your car. Great lines. And, my Canadian friend, love that maroon...
Big Dad, love that '46. Do you have more pics? Would love any details you have.
I've been looking at some '50 - '53 Chryslers, Dodges and DeSotos for a project. I was wondering if anyone out there has a project going with any...
So there are a lot of us. We should have some kind of get together for some gear head networking. There must be a lot of skills here. I, for one,...
Anyone into a 64 Riv and a 66 Skylark GS is ok with me! I had a '63 Riv that I bought in '69 for $800. Wish I had that car now! Welcome.
Looks like there's more and more of us. Hey Bowtieluvncracker, I like the fact that you are quoting Oscar Wilde. My favorite one is " I'm very...
Merry Christmas!!
The hood of my '50 Buick is pretty cool. A twist of two screws and the hood lifts right completely off. It's a pain tho and a two man job....
Love the stance. Love to see more pics of your work on the frame, suspension, etc. Thanks! Gary
MP33- Thanks! Gary
Wow, just got the Milwaukee Cold Saw and Porta Band. Love 'em. The Sears chop saw has seen it's final days. Can't believe how nice and fast the...
Telecaster. More pics if you got 'em. I like your philosophy. I've been chastised on this board for having some non traditional HAMB thoughts....
I had a '63 that I bought in 1969 for $800. Got 8 miles to the gallon but gas was about $.30 per gallon then. Loved that car. Not trying to make a...
Well, can you say speaking before thinking.... The hardtop thing is a bad idea. I will stick with chopping with posts. But, you guys are right...
OK, so I must have been on drugs. Sounds like I need to start off just a little easier. Thanks for the details. I will definitely buy the book. Gary
