I say this a lot in the shop "Precision sledge hammer modifications may be necessary" When I used to work for GM "Tight is tight, too tight is two pieces" and "black is beautiful" (used to say that when we resealed oil pans the the GM gasket maker and paint over it with black spray paint)
1.Power is good, More power is better, Too much power is just enough. 2. Real hot rods don't have valve covers. 3. Speed cost! How fast do you want to go?
this one is mine those who would rather push a ford than drive a chevy usually do (oldsmobiles take the worry out of being close)
"If it ain't smokin it ain't running" "Don't lift til you see god" "If I tell ya then I have ta kill ya"
If it looks like crap and is falling apart sitting still,.....and you're proud of that.... yours might be a rat rod!
"Got any bailing wire? Coat hanger? Then your tool kit ain't complete." "That guy is a fuckin' squirrel." --Means a bad driver or erratic driver. Parakeet works too with guys who talked constantly but never raced--usually didn't even have a car.
Add these to your list of Oldies but Goodies. A good cross thread will beat a lock washer any day. Tighten 'er down 'til it snaps off, then back 'er off half a turn.
REAL HOT RODS: Came from the factory with a headlight bar. They have handles, hinges, caps and rings, lowered and louvers, big-n- littles, loud and lumpy, primer and patina. If it isn’t old steel, it isn’t the real.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Power is good! More power is better! Too much power is just enough!! Speed cost$ How fast do you want to go? I would rather push a Ford than ride in a chevy. Slam it in gear, push it to the floor and listen to the roar. Real hot rods don't have valve covers. That shits slippery than snail snot on a snake snatch.
Down here in Mississippi we say: So weak it wouldn't pull a greasy string out of a cats ass Smokes like a tar kettle Shakes like a dog shittin a peach seed Good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good I cut it 3 times and it's still too short 4 on the floor and a fifth under the seat Runs like a raped ape Slick as owl shit
"It's so fast I've overtaken my own headlights twice" "The only things worth having in 2 litre sizes are Milk and Orange Juice"
If it wont fix, force it. If it wont force, Fuck it. Cross threads is better than no threads. If it dont make dollars, it dont make sense!
