hey everyone, my dad is building a 32 ford roadster, steel body, desoto hemi, 16inch ford rims etc. so far hes done well, its got a real nice 50s feel to it i guess. Heres where i need everyones help. He has just bought the worst gear shifter on this planet. the exact same one as below. if you agree with me, please!!! please!! help me by posting why he shouldnt use it or just what your think about this ****ty gearshifter!!!!!! i mean its made out of plastic haha please help me out, I need to show him that im not the only one that thinks its stupid haha thankyou
If he's building the car as you describe above, he already knows that shifter stinks. He's just taking the piss. Relax!
Oh ****. I just looked again and realised you are in Queensland. You really are in trouble. I guess he fluked the hemi and Ford wheels. Hey everyone...Strommy needs some help here
Maybe he is taking the piss. That thing can't be worth more than ten bucks at Supercheap. Worth ten bucks to get the young bloke all wound up I would think.
I dunno i saw one for like $120 a store in perth- are you big enough to slap him? surpose it depend on how thick skinned he is. mMate tell him that even guys in wa think its so **** that we will drive over and slap him for it if he puts it on! cool
Steal it off him and trash it .Either that or buy him one or make one .It wont fit the traditional rod hes building .Ask him if hes building a billet car and tell him he should make Just like they built them in the 1980's ,See if that works.In my opinion Its to new.
Tell him that chrome will peel off after a few shifts. I would suggest getting out the big gun, Find a better shifter and Tell your mom that you and her should get this for dad. Give it to him and he wont go against mom. Stratagy 101
Hey it's his car.......his way or no way I'm thinking. Put a little decal of a cute Bettie over that stupid start ****on. Maybe that will tune him up.
Buy a Honda...trade him for the Deuce. It'll work out better for both of you... Wondering...does it come with pop out ****ons??? Be really Kool if the ****on had NOS (Naaawwssssss...) written on it! He could join the "Rude Boyz." They ride 9 wide yo.
super glue that lid shut and next time he may listen for your opinion and think twice. if it was my old man i wud sawzall the lever off just above the rug after he busted the plastick peice of **** apart to get the engine started after i had glued it of co****, then he could shift it with a pair of vice grips. as you can tell im kinda pissed at my old man because he sold his model a nailhead coupe after he said i can have it, because i was gonna put a hemi in it, fuken *******, now i have the hemi in something even better and now he is trying to buy his car back to give to my brother who dont even like hot rods ? go figure ?
Man Card REVOKED! Sorry Benno, but I got to disagree with ya' on this one. If my dad was to come home with some POS like that, I'd straight up tell him that his car would be plastered with rainbows, pink triangles, bear stickers and other gay ****. Sometimes being family means you have to host an intervention. If not, it starts with that shifter, and ends with.... 'Nuff said? -Bill
That shifter on a deuce roadster with a DeSoto hemi is about as out of place as a turd in a punch bowl.
Lol, that is gross. Agree'd with Striper, Typical Queenslander (And yes, i know i'm one, i'm one of about 10 that like traditional cars..).
Hell, let him build it. When he has the car done and it's parked with his back turned, steal the car but leave the shift knob where it was parked. Honest dad, I dunno what happened to your car.
