Oh you guys. All I had was a cab, doors and bed to start with....and it was on the highway in 30 days. This was my ONLY transportation alot of the time too. I had fun with this ANTI "bolt kisser" buildup. I guess no Hambers were on the road that weekend of rain to see me, I only saw a couple of Tri-Fives before Vicksburg the whole way. Beat away, I had a blast !
Now lemmie tell ya a storie 'bout a man named jed.....Drove a ratrod from goerja to tejas wif a body innis bed......
Dude, you DROVE it from Georgia to Texas, pulling a loaded damn TRAILER! To me, that takes some stones to do something like that, with a truck that looks kinda like a Mad Max movie extra! Considering there are a LOT of cars here on the HAMB that have never left the garage (and likely the very same folks giving you shit for your rig!), I salute you! I do agree with some of the comments about the "R**R**"-iness of your truck, but I'm sure that'll work out later!
So no one saw this in 724 miles ? I think some of you blew your horn at me with a big THUMBS UP......but you're scared to admit it here.........traditionally. It's O.K.
Go to Edit Tags in the lower right corner and you can add your own. Yeah, they get pretty damn funny sometimes lol... "Waffle Shop of Horrors" <---- CLASSIC.
He knows it's a rat rod... It's supposed to be. But he doesn't go around trying to act like it's a hard core traditional hot rod like some people on here, he knows the difference... I like the Mad Max extra comment, that's what it really is...
Tags below for the thread so far. LOL. abortion, bad mouth taste, blind insulting the blind, body shop 15 yrs? really?, did anything fall off?, garage whiners, i <3 rat rods, i heart pecan waffles, i like to pet my kitten, i'm a tag whore!, jeeperscreepers, junk haulin junk, osr toilet read, peace and love, rat rodz rule, ratrodoriffic(tm), rockabillyriffic, stone throwing assholes, waffle shop of horrors. CAC, You got balls and some thick skin. Give you credit for making it and taking it. Kind of a Jack Kerouac meets WavyGravy and Porky the Pirate all rolled into one. Now if this is your first rodeo here please make sure you follow all of the Texas rules for citzenship and aclimatization. Hate to have to see you load all that shit back up and head back out. Of course it would be a good read.
That's what I was wondering too. Sounds like it was a one way trip since you took all your shop stuff.
No matter the means of transportation,At least he knows where the best place in Texas is....EAST TEXAS...........now stop all the jealousy.And he did have the foresight to come here.WELCOME 1959cac
CAC, as already previously mentioned. Congrats on both, accomplishing your set out goal, and also for retaining the thick skin after intending to innocently post a pictorial and story of the adventure. A shared adventure turning into a tutorial on what you did wrong building YOUR truck the way YOU want it, to the wrong turns you possibly went on YOUR adventure. Hmmmm.. BRILLIANT! You fucking idiot! Didn't you buy the atlas/building manual when you'd signed on here of the proper and preferred HAMB way? It's the HAMB way or the.....Never mind, I don't want to read about another adventure gone wrong..........
I see stuff in that shape over here (Iraq) all the time. They'll do anything to a vehicle to keep it running. And when some of the vehicles get uparmored, its straight out of Mad Max! My favorites are the couches in the back of a pickup with plate welded to the cab make it a gun truck and an Iraqi holding a PKC.... it never gets old. Thats awesome that you had fun and good for you for taking the comments on the truck in stride!
Thanks for your service. My lil. brother did a couple gigs in Baghram, HMLA 773 Red Dog. The ribbing on the truck is a joke. People don't take time to read my home page first, to get some clue of who they a bashing. I'm self employed....I need to eat...if the latest fad is rat rods....I will build and sell. I think Tuk Tuks from Phucket Thailand are the next big thing, who knows. Thanks again, take care, and be safe.
