It sounds like you have a good outlook about building your car.You know you are going to get all sorts of comments both good and bad.I think that is what it is all about, if you are building your car for public approval my as well be a BOYD or a FOOSE.
You do realize most of us were having fun with the fist thing? Nice carving. As for those little vents, pretty damn cool. Looks like a jig that you routered the opening with?
not too worried who is jokin or not...i'm just here for a pat on the back.... the jig was just to hold it steady in the chop saw...for the second cut...
nice job on the air scoops , good to see some one make sompthing and be creative rather than just buy parts from a catalog ! nice work! but your wife or mom is gonna be pissed when she finds out you cut up her good pot !
BCT, I like your work on the brake scoops. They look really good. I want to copy that idea, but I haven't found a pan the right size yet! Mike
Very neat idea witht he fists...if they say anything that is your chioce since it's YOUR car. And Love the idea of cutting up an old pot to make the vent scoops...Good Job!!
no backpedal here...i sandblasted them to remove grinder marks and blend the edges...when i make a stamp to rewrite it , i will....for now its felt pen,...ya pussies
I'm not saying you are backpedaling, reread my entry I like the fists and the tats. I was saying english bob is backpedaling after you called him out.

Spoken like a true Canadian Socialist, sorry I gave you props for the scoops. No offense to my freedom loving Canuck pals.
I never once critisized the workmanship did i? This time i was commenting on the scoops..if he'd etched similar to what he's putting on the fists i'd have given the same response as the first time What i love about the net---read half answer full and for the record they look more like supermans' fist
My Catholic high shool shop teacher, Sister Subdural Hematoma, had those very fists on her car too. Nice work on the brake scoops, I like those.
Tman,no politics here. just proving a point that the symbolism can mean many things but hey, thanks for pigion holing me and provin your ignorance...and yes bob you did critizise my work. even after i explained myself...
Isnt misspelling HAMB grounds for automatic dismissal? if its ok with Andre', its ok with me! I thought it was a little hokey... but I feel for you wanting to put your own touch on every nook and cranny. Anyone can bolt***** together. I like the personal aspect of it.
