Here's the "new" prize we brought home! One helluva solid fat fender C-dan! It's just about all there,and VERY solid!! the body and floors are mint! Just some surface rust and ding's to take care of. Weiand head'd flat motor that was rebuilt, but sat for 10 years or so.. Within a week, Chief's got this thing running!! I'll let him fill the ya in on what he's been doing with it. Chief, sorry it took so long to get these on here. here are the pics. Rat... Here's one happy BigChief!!
Hey Spike! I just e-mailed ya . I feel like i've been runnin on empty lately. too much to do, too much on the mind and not making enough time to relax. nothing out of the ordinary.. Chiefs gonna be in the Rats, we just havn't figured out his initiation yet . Rat..
Tony, Remember the big ugly fucker with the 46 'vert at Syracuse? He's got a ton of 46-48 parts if BC needs anything.
Moondisc, thanks man... it has most everything with it, but i know he's gonna be needing a few misc parts. One of us will get a hold of you to get the info if needed. Thanks again! Rat.....
SWEET SCORE!!! Congrats BC!! I'm thinkin for the initiation.... Something to do with a 12 pack, duct tspe, 2 tubes a K-Y, 3 - 5 Midgets and the parking lot down at Wal-Mart
Tony - Thanks again for making the possibility a reality on this car. The deal wouldn't have gone down without your involvment. Hey, tell pops that he's got visitation rights too, OK? Again, a HUGE, HUGE thanks goes to you and Babs for helping me get it home last week. Spike - me in the Rats? Thats what they tell me. I've been around Babs for so long (since the pre-PakRats days when we were neighbors) and the rest of the guys are so nice that I've felt like one of the family all along. TagMan - Even if I gotta push it (or have Tony towbar it behind the '53), its going to either York or Indy....depending on which show we hit next year. MoonDisc - Please PM me with info on that 42-48 parts contact. I need vent windows (the entire assembly) and other smaller stuff too. Kustomolds - Duct Tape? No, NO! Not the duct tape! Atleast let me shave first, OK? Geez! Midgets too? Atleast get some female ones this time....John and Spike are still kinda bugged about the "extra equipment" they found on the last set of drunken chainsaw juggling, cross-dressing, midget circus clowns you guys dug up for them for thier initiations. ....Just don't forget the graaavvvyyy. As for plans for the car, we'll see. Even though the flatty is fresh I'm still gonna pull it and drop the 292/3deuce/4speed combo in it. I'd have to have a pretty strung out flatty to have the HP the stockish 292 puts out. Since I'm a horsepower junkie I'm ax'n the flatty from the fatty this weekend. WhooHoo!!! -BigChief.
That great, I'm happy to hear you found something, it sounds like a very cool build plan. Keep us posted.
kustomolds... just because thats how you got initiated in to K&K dosn't mean that all us clubs have to do it!! Chief, like i said man..my pleasure! i just can't wait til we all roll together. lulabelle, not easy thats for sure! Rat...
Mike, FINALLY!!! I was hoping you'd see the light sooner or later and realize fat fenders are cool. I'm thrilled for you bud. Looking forward to copping a ride in that sweet baby next summer at both Indy and Syracuse

[ QUOTE ] Am I looking too deep into this??? [/ QUOTE ] probley.... Mike knows I'm just pulling his leg about his "Brand X" project body that he picked up earlier this year here in the metro Detroit area. What were YOU thinking????
BigMan- Congrats,,you already know my thoughts & feelings. If anybody knows what my ideas or direction is/was for the Rats would be you. You scared me a lil'bit when you made that trip to Detroit but glad to see you got your head on straight again..Hopefully the local 'Streetrods' won't influence your ideas to much,,you still do have to earn your club colors!!
[ QUOTE ] How do you find a solid car in NY? Good score!Have fun with it. [/ QUOTE ] I'd like to know the same thing! Congrats, man - should be lots o' fun. Good luck with it!

How many times do you think I'll hear 'Whats a Y-block" next year? Earn my colors, eh?

[/ QUOTE ] They're imports. Like good cigars and good beer, solid cars don't come from around here. The really good stuff has to be brought in from someplace else....or make sure they're put away by Haloween and brought back out around Easter time.
Hey, its a Ford! Brand X, eh? Big motor, big brakes, big tires, minimal interior....sounds like a hot rod to me. [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Am I looking too deep into this??? [/ QUOTE ] probley....
