Art & Inspiration "Before I die,I want to.......(car related only PLEASE!)

I'll be waiting....

 

finish my 49 and cruse it all over the US of motherfucken A! with out worrying about gas money or a place to stay!

 

Finish the Merc
Take a long road trip in the Merc.
Improve my welding and fabrication skills
Start another project

 

Before I die I want to race in the Baja 1000 (Baja Mexico) in my Bronco Class 3 truck........ and actually finish But more importantly, have my two sons Christopher and Anthony race with me.

Second on that list, drive my pops from Los Angeles to Durango Mexico like we did when we I was a kid to visit family. We haven't been back in over twenty years.

 

Go 200+ mph at bonneville and I can die happy!!

 

I want to go 204 mph @ El Mirage in B/STR(unblown street roadster) and 224 mph @ Bonneville.. tic toc, tic toc!

 

Put as many holes as possible in the headliner of the 55 via womens highheels............. LOL.

 

Interesting!!!!

 

Finish all my projects and have the pleasure of choosing which one to drive today
Loud and proud (my 63 Dodge with big block)
Or slowly cruise (55 Desoto S/W)
or go shopping in the Dodge pickup
And raise a finger to all of those support this crap over carbon credits
All I want to do is leave the biggest footprint every to say
I WAS HERE!

And see my daughters have great kids of their own just like they are to me

 

See all of my friends in good health with thier projects finished and all gathered together for a crawfish boil and lie telling contest!

 

Get a '55 Chevy.

 

Finish the woody then drive it to Bonneville then watch the races get some ideas and come back and race for the red hat. 200 mph woody ....hmmm na probably something low with flat head power.
Did the Reno Air races with my Dad and that was a blast but alas he passed 4 years ago , Bonneville would have been great together but no regrets I have some of his ash to spread there and Grand Canyon. Sounds like a great road trip!!

 

build a T sedan and '34 ford 5 window

 

Lets see..........

Drive my hot rod to Donut Derelects
Then drive up the coast
Drive over to my friend Bobby's house & sit on his 1.5 mil yacht w/ a cocktail
Drive to Chucks in hot rod for breakfast
Drive to a private party at Art Chrismans w/ every hot rod icon known to man (almost)
Tour Squeek Whites shop & see a rare 16 cyl (2-8's) Miller
Drive to Leroys in hot rod for chocolate shake
And do it all in 1 day.

Oh wait..... I did that last Saturday!
I need a new list.

 

I dont have time to die .. their is just to much to do.

 

too funny

 

Own the American Graffiti piss yellow-puke green coupe, take it to the Lonestar Round Up cruise, uncork the headers, catch a sitation and file it under "CS."

 

Collect the cars that my father lost back in the day...'37 LaSalle, 29 Model A Roadster...would be nice to do so before he passes, so he can enjoy the ride one more time.

Finish the Buick in my vision of the ultimate cruiser.

Stop driving an effing modern car everyday. Get back to the classics.

Go to performance driving school.

Enjoy these moments before I get too damned old to really have fun with them! That means make---every---day---count.

 

this looks like fun.

 

If you can make it to West Coast Kustoms Cruisin Nationals May 28-30, 2010 in Santa Maria you can meet Bill Hines .

Drive a 70's flopper on nitro.......and maybe own more cars than I can remember.

 

Bend Brianna Banks over the hood of my truck & do her up the wrong 'un


oh wait, you said car related, ok the hood of my car, is that better?

 

Build a '49-'51 Merc and run ANYTHING at Bonneville.Would also love to drop the hammer on a nitro funny car.Wonder if I could build the same car for all of that?I've got an idea......out to the shop....gotta go!

Id like to take a few hot laps around Road America in my '72 Trans Am. Looking out over a similar hood to the one Jerry Titus in his last race. Minus the Crash in Thunder Valley that is.

 

build a body from scratch.

 

Well i guess I have luckily had a chance to meet most of the people I have looked up to, The Snake, Big Daddy Garlits, got a hug from Cha Cha, and met Cole Foster at the Reunion a couple years ago ( all very nice people), I ve been to Garlits' museum, and Daytona. I am hopefully goin to bonneville this year so, I think I would like a bigger shop, finish all 5 of my cars and maybe throw a couple more in the mix, run a car and bike at bonneville, oh yeah and I would really like to rest my nuts on a pontiac rearend looking down the 1320 with a flame throwing, nitro burning 392 hemi in my face and give it hell!!! And maybe have a couple kids so I can build bitchin cars for them.

 

Make it home from from my next deployment (#3)

 

See a dragster run over 300 mph in the 1/4
Build a old hemi powered 32 Ford, full fendered 4-door.
My bucket is probably not real far off so it's a short list.

 

Go to Bonneville
Giz'

 

Bonneville
Do Route 66 one more time, this time in my `57 sedan (hopefully in a couple years).
Build a 33 3 window, in glass or steel, dont really care, as long as it has "the look".
Build a garage big enough to hold all my crap, have room for all my cars, and still have enough room to work.
