Dash Riprock dukes it out with the Atomic Punk

Now that harvest is over I am getting BUSIER here at work getting fertilizer put on. Ha ha Ha For some reason I tend to get more done after a 12 hour work day than if I go home early. If I go home early that usually turns into a nap and then I don't feel like going out to the garage.

Those lights worked out really well, but it was easier said than done. I had to do all kind of surgery on them to make them work. After I sandblasted them, I had 2 nights of welding and grinding on them to fill in all the rust holes. I think the result is well worth the effort though.

Just think some people get paid 65-100 bucks an hour for this.......and here I am doing it for shits and giggles. I guess I need a tattoo of a clock and a six pack on the palm my hand. Ha Ha Ha Pay up sucker?? Some days I think I AM the sucker.

 

Nope, not a sucker, just a rock star. Looks great dude....

 

I would be so paranoid of farting with the bubble-top down....

 

Nice work! I always wanted to build a bubble car! Very cool!

 

I think you'll be famous soon enough man......then ya can 'hang' with the cool guys, act all tough and stuff us geeks into our lockers.....

 

That is soooo Jetsons!
Thanks Jaker... Made me laugh and coffee came up through my nose! Geeeezzz!

 

I love this car. Every time I see it I want to push down on the roof and see if dice shake around inside.

 

Looks great Arron. Glad to see the progress pics.

 

Awesome work bro... is it going to be finished for Detroit?

 

Looks like another amazing piece.

 

Simply badass. Awesome work!

 

Do you drink it because it tastes great, or because it's less filling?

 

Keep Cerro Gordo Sucka-free dawg!

Looks great, homie.

 

Both! You should try to count the can rings on the car sometime. It is like a tree. How many beers did it take to grow? Ha Ha Ha

Yes, Detroit is the goal.

Jake, I already have!

Sinister, I think there are enough tough guys in the world. Remember, Hugs not drugs!

 

I love that name...... Dash Riprock

 

You need to start monitoring your hours by the beer.

4 cases in the grill.
those tail lights took 2 1/2 cases of beer apiece.
had to take a 6pack break and get more wire.

On the good side I bet the flowers around the shop are wattered and healthy.

 

Right, like there's someone else in Cerro gordo with the licence plates "So Cool."

Or just put some packing peanuts in there and turn it into a snowglobe.

Trouble. Trouble. With the Pop-o-Matic Bubble.

 

That is SOOOO cool...always a fan of your work, this thing is just TOO much...

 

hehe..yeah, peace, love, and all that other hippie shit, man......HAMBSTOCK.

I wanna smoke DIRTWEED outta that bubble........

 

Jane AND Judy Jetson both want to have your baby.

 

Very Cool!!!

 

I didn't know George Jetson was gettin a new ride....I bet you got some "Spacely Sprockets " somewhere in that thing . I don't care what anybody says.........YOU RULE !!

 

lookin good man.... as always... its crazy how everything u make just gets better and better! ROCKSTAR status, haha...

seee ya in detroi

 

SWEEEEET!! I cant wait till it is done so you can fill it with water and the little snowflakes and shake the piss out of it. You could sit in it with a snowman suit and park it near the christmas tree in the lawn!!! Glad to have gotten to meet you and drink a few at the HAMB Drags.

 

Looks like i'm heading to the autorama to see this thing....

 

Some day Jimmy Shine will want your autograph..until then it's Johnny Sparkle..and corn. You are my hero and my favorite one night stand. Miss you.

Anyone could build junk like that if they lived downwind from a nuclear power plant. It doesn't take any skill to swim in the glowing water and become an instant metal-masochist. Kinda like the Toxic Avenger with hot rods.

 

The question is, how do you know who Dash Rip Rock is? Your like 90. OHHHH!!!!!!!!! kiss kiss. Haha. im sorry that was mean. oh, I meant to tell you, if you wear out your Perry Como albums i know a place where you can get some, new old stock.

Dude, that would be an advantage to building a bubbletop. You could destroy the inside of it with fumes while your taking some poor sap for a ride and theres nothing they could do.


Aaron, the dash and console look awesome. Instead of welding all that stuff you should fiberglass the metal together. I heard from some way cool mini truckers that its the correct way to do it. PEE.S. I still think you should do that vent thing on the cowl like that one guy photoshopped.

 

This may be a stupid question, matter of fact I know it is, but what all is fully one off on the car? Meaning you started with flat sheet metal and shaped it to your desire?

It looks amazing all around, I just want a full on 3/4 front view!
