If the guys that were at the Pileup wearing Corpse Show Creeps jackets, and had the rat with 666 on the side from MN are on the board, please respond. Have a couple of questions for ya. Extremely cool rod by the way. Also looking to get in touch with the person that was there with the late 20s/early 30s pickup that said "East Side Speedshop" on the side. Both of these rods had MN plates. Scott
I think the East Side pickup owner is Titus here on the board. The guy with Sedan B Gasser style car and from Corpse Show Creeps is Dylan. I am not sure if he posts here or not. I believe Titus is good friends with him and could possibly get you two in touch.
Hey, Dylan this is Bolt,I had the shovel chop at the motel sunday. How was the trip back, how did the rod do?
Im not sure if it was a shovel head or not but was it the one with the Atomic Fink (Main Rat) scribed seat? I think there was a 13 on the fender?? That was an awesome bike. If thats yours- who did the leather work??
Dylan said he put 2 quarts in her every hour, it was a beater motor that i got on trade on some labor so we were jsut gonna wing it and see how it was, guess it was a miss! JEFF
I did. Thanks for the compliment! Me and my girlfriend had an awesome time ,I think we're going to go up on friday next year!Triumph Terror, sorry I didn't get to show you those other seats,I'll mail you some pics and maybe make you a real good deal.
Oil use: This was one of the things I was going to just mention to you. My buddy and I were behind you for a bit as you left Morris and the aroma was telling us that you had a bit of burning going on. But....it really adds to the overall ambiance of the 'visual' of that car. It's probably the baddest looking thing I've seen in awhile...and definately the coolest car in our area right now (St. Paul). I'm assuming you're in St.Paul or nearby, since I'm hearing Titus knows you. I don't know Titus either, but have seen his truck around countless times. I hang at North St. Paul on Friday nights. I will be contacting you soon thru PM or email about a little local show that a group of people and I have started planning for. Even if you don't want to be involved in the planning, your car is perfect for it if you're up for participating when/if it happens. Scott our yahoo group is here
Hey everyone, I'm back and safe. The trip down when pretty good. 37 degrees when we left and then it rained in WI. We stayed in portage. The Whole way to portage I was spraying oil on the cars behind me(plug wire rattled off). Fixed that and in the morning I welded up a broken shock bracket. Left and got to the race track in morris at 5:30. The show was fun, but cold. Earlier that day I Was running really hot(stuck thermostat). Pulled it out at the show. Went to the bar and saw 2 good bands, and met some cool people. We left sunday at 11:30. As soon as we left I started smoking out of my 3rd cylinder. An hour and a half in we stopped and got gas and filled the oil. Down 3 qts. and the plug was oil fowled. I cleaned it and checked everything out. Just then this guy pulled in with a 58 ford ranchero. Talked to him for a bit and exchanged names. then he says "hey I'm this band" He handed me a guitar pick with some writing on it. I gave him a few stickers of my band. I look down and it's a cheap trick guitar pick. This was the gutiar player for cheap trick! I not a Huge fan, but it was cool none the less. The way home was slow. I got about 15 MPG and about 2 and half qt's per hour. My rings were gone. It still ran fine, But in the end it took me 10 hours to get home and 30 qt's of oil round trip. Story told I got there and back safely. The end. Dylan
