Looks like I am going to be the guy that asks what everyone else is wondering... Just how many pieces did you cut the roof into before trying to weld it back together?
11:47 PM pacific time. it looks like there is a severe photo shortage in your post. The famed phantom project car??
Huh, 1:40 am Alaska Standard Time. I got his pics fine. Server malf, or maybe he 'fixed' them? Looks like a helluva start. What are your plans for when it's 'finished' (ie, what else you gonna do to 'er)? Mutley, thanks LMAO every time I see Ray like that.
just givin ya some **** . looks alright from what i can see. just chopped a little far in my opinion. buy hell, slam that ***** on the ground and it might not look so wierd. maybe try your first section job at 18! 2 or 3 inches ought to do it. that would bring the roof and body proportions back inline with each other. seriously. i'm glad your doing something and learning. way to go. i did most of my kustomizing "practice" on my friend's mini trucks. LOL
"slam that ***** on the ground and it might not look so wierd. " agreed, and I dig the coors light sweat shirt
awsome car its alot better then the 89 volvo station wagon i had at 17. o and that front plate fits the car perfectly
yeah its pretty ridiculous to drive the windshields down to just under ten inches...at least i got rid of that stock roofline, its surprizingly not to out of proportion for being 7 8 9
your first chop at 17 years old. i'll not going to talk any **** about that. my hats off to you. enjoy and have a good time. thank god not all kids love hondas w/ vacuum cleaner exhausts.... -scott noteboom
got some new pictures of it thought id share threw it in some temp paint for the local cruise...till we can attened to the lower rust repair and drop it me with the voodoo kings
Get the rattle can out and cover up the middle finger...jeez if it actually runs and drives then little kids are gonna see it...I know you are only 17 and it seems cool but wait till you mouth off to some fat forty year old guy with kids in his car and he activates your dental plan...other than that my hats off to ya for doing your first chop...
Middle finger or not its freedome of speech and ill defend our country to the end for it. keap it goin man, good job.
I like it!!! Screw it paint another FU finger on the hood so the little kids infornt of you wont feel left out. Keep up the good work.
Freedom of speech is your right to express an opinion, viewpoint or emotion so apparently kraka 138 is telling everybody to eff off...that's fine but my advice to him is to mix in a milkshake or two and muscle up for with freedom of speech comes the ability or inability to back up what you are saying...
I own a business that is directly connected to one's right to their freedom of speech. So believe my understand completely one's right to do so and deal with it every single day. And I must say judging by your inability to spell might be interesting to hear you articulate your thoughts on the subject. I applaud kraka 138 for building his car the way he likes it and yes he can put whatever he wants on it...and deal with the consequences.
point taken ORG, but what consequence is he gonna suffer ? Aint it like the dumb****s with the Calvin pissin on (put whatever you want here) - or the Shocker stickers or....... compared to the rest of the world these days, just dont seem very schocking at all IMO - and if he did it with a rattle can, its a pretty decent sketch! Id a just written **** YOU - though im kinda to the point in that way kraka - looks good wit the scallops - lower that ****er already whatrya waitin for?
"And I must say judging by your inability to spell might be interesting to hear you articulate your thoughts on the subject" You know OddRod **** you for calling me out on my spelling. I joined our countrys service to protect our freedome of choice, So thats a big deal. Your pink and your a coward.
Not a coward, not pink and God Bless you for serving...I am just saying is it necessary to be in everybody's face with that gesture...why not tone it down and show a little cl*** and show off your skills in building the car rather than a pointless gesture that all of society will see...why give the people who already hate our cars and want us off of the road (check out some of California's recent smog legislature that they are trying to get p***ed through on the down low) more of a reason to do so...my apologies if I insulted you but I took exception to being called a pinko...I'm done.
im waitin to get the body work done, before tearin into the suspension **** but yeah that paint was just so i could cruise it in the local cruise not and not have 8 shades of paint on my car, and the middle finger was for all the old hod rodders that talked **** about us doing the chop, cuase we were too young/didnt know what we were doing
I can recall in the late 60's, I was 17 and wanted to paint my 59 Ford wagon with star and stripes.... I wouldn't call that skeleton holding up his finger something I would be proud of. Even when I was 17 my respect for the public was something I was proud of. Like the car. That chop was more than I accomplished at 17 with cars. Now bring it over to my place... we'll put a paint job on that baby.
pardon my ignorance, is it an early fifties Plymouth or something? Like has been said, nothing wrong with the finger if your prepared to back it up. That kind of thing would get your ride impounded over here. slamcouver, no need to get out of your pram over the comments, if you can't take it don't throw it my friend. BTW, what regt are you in? I did a couple of tours with the CanCons a few years ago (PPCLI and the 2e Royal 22 regt)
Put what you want on your car. Screw the "politically correct", they are the ones that need some lecturing.
I dunno......put anything on your car you want to, but your's only says "Trailer Trash" & "Punk", to me. If that's how you see yourself and if you're willing to put up with the consequences, go for it.
