My Official Intro! OK WITH PIC's NOW!!!!!

Don't fel bad about Julie Newmar.
I have still got it bad for Jessica Rabbit!

I kind of like the poochie lip bumper. However, I would love to have a bunch of fat chrome out front.

Justice

 

nice to have you!

 

Justice, welcome! I love those fastbacks..sounds like the car is gonna get more trad than its current (late 70's?) look. All to the good!

Aaaaaaand...uh....guys? Just think of lawyers as mechanics OK? You get in a jam... marriage broke down etc. You need a fix-up. We just know the codes for the the black boxes...how to troubleshoot...and the torque specs. Lots of us aren't rich. We don't all play golf. Some of us are car nuts. Wife, family, bills and day jobs....
Sorry to hijack post.

 

"Lots of us aren't rich. We don't all play golf. Some of us are car nuts. Wife, family, bills and day jobs...."

OK, I'll make an exception

I reckon attorneys are alot like law enforcement. You only hear about the ones that are jerks.

Hey Girlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Long time no hear from!!!
How have you been? Do you still have the rag top???

Are ya gonna be in my neck of the woods anytome soon??

I lost your Email Addy, and ya never showed up any more on that other board.

Justice

 

why would you want to dp90 that paint?

 

DP90 is the way to go if you want that old traditional look.
Don't worry. I am not going to change the paint for now. I just wanted to rev up the old guys.

When I get ready to do some body mods that is when I will squirt her down with the black. That will allow me to do spot work without making the car look like it is under construction.

Justice

 

I found a much friendlier, knowledgeable group of friends to hang with

I sill have Big Olds. Put a "few" miles on him this summer. My email hasn't changed, hotrodladycrusr@aol.com I've got no plans to head your way anytime soon (unless I'm personally invited ) but keep your eyes peeled here on the HAMb cuz there'll be a gathering of folks from Mid-Michigan and the Metro Detroit area getting together soon for breakie and a garage crawl. Even guys from Ohio will be invited

 

Fugly, the rims, the wheels, the tires , the paint, welcome anyway.

 

THAT'll BE "MR. FUGLY" TO YOU!!!!!

Nads we've seen yer tastes, Mr Nazzi so shaddap.

You need some 20" bling bling rollers on that thing man . Then you can be king of the hill.

 

You know, I had one just like that in my younger days.

Only It was a 51 mor door lowered to the ground, original straight eight with dual pipes, just so I could hear em.
And It didn.t need no stinkin visor.
And, did I mention the fender skirts?
The wheels were painted RED.
Well only the part that showed around the hub caps.
By the way, Howdy!

 

Hey Justice, I have a question for ya. This isn't meant to be a slam or anything, just a question I've asked myself lots of times before. You bought this car pretty much the way it sits. It's a finished running car. If you want to chop it, redo the interior, change the paint, ect. ect. ect. why did you buy this car? You must have liked something about it. Why spend all the money on a finished car, when you could have bought an unrestored stocker for a lot less money? Changing wheels, or some minor things I can see, but the whole car! That car is trying to be to many things at once. Street machine wheels, van interior, custom body and paint, then painted bumpers. It doesn't fit any era, except maybe the 70's. If it was mine, I would just change the wheels, lower it and drive it. Or sell it as is, and start over. That's just my opion, Dean

 

welcome!
interesting what the previous owner did, if you chop the top
please post some progress pics...I'm very curious about that

 

Dean,

No offense taken. You make a good point.
I thought the car looked pretty cool minus the wheels when I bought it.
The interior is a retro look from the 70's that I wasn't too crazy about, but I figured I could live with it for a little bit.
I got a real good deal on the car as the previous owner had passed away.
I really enjoy working on my vehicles. As a result, I could not imagine keeping one and leaving it alone. I am always changing something.
The car is actually for sale right now. I will probably not get the chance to do everything I listed to it before it is gone.
However, You gotta remember. There are no rules in hot rodding. Maybe I'll raise the roof and put some BBS rims on it off of a BMW....lol
Short version: Thanks for the thoughts. I agree with you. That is why I have it up for sale. However, if it doesn't sell, I am gonna go to work on it.

Justice

 

Bathroom mirror?
Shit. I thought it had 2 engines in it! hehe
Still needs a 389 or 421 with 3x2's.
Snap a set of Lancer caps over them funky wheels.
Welcome to the darkside Buford T. Justice.
You'll like this site better than the other one!

 

Julie Newmar rocks.
I have dreams about her.
About your car, can you say mulletmobile?

Welcome Aboard!

 

man all this talk of new grills and rims and not one photo shop? whats this HAMB coming to????

 

I was thinking about getting a set of solid hubcaps to cover the rims.
I would like to find the ones with the shiny finish on them.
Have you guys got any suggestions on a source.

Justice

 

Looks pretty good Justice. A newbie welcome to you. Wide whites & some bad ass'd caddie hubcaps w/ bullets would be killer. Other than that, I'd drive the thing and enjoy it. If you want to chop the top, change colors, etc. why not just sell it and start on a stocker? But hey, it's your car right? You do whatever the hell works for you man.

Again, welcome.

PS- Please, please get that bumper chromed
