most everything I know about cars I learned working on "Monster Garage," and despite what Jesse always said, I do know how to change my oil; in fact, I've even tuned up a car or two over the years. I had the great good fortune to spent 2 1/2 years in the Garage in Long Beach working on the craziest *** show, and meet and learn from some of the true car masters. at the moment I'm trying to sell an old jalopy, because I don't have the time and/or resources to do it justice. my father-in-law gave me a 1960 Buick LeSabre convertible that I drove out to L.A. from Washington, DC. everyone said I was crazy, but I hit it in 4 1/2 days during the winter of 2006. it was a great drive. my next one, when I have time, will be a bit lighter, and not a convertible. I prefer a chop and a section over ******* vehicles. now I'm working on "Mythbusters," and every now and then we get to mess around with cars. I went to look at a car to buy, and the person selling it told me about the HAMB, and I'm happy to have found it.
Hey Dude,what's up? I live kinda near Echo Park thought I'd say hey. I wrote you once already but the site kicked me off. This time Icopy/pasted ha ha **** I'm so pissed cause I don't type! I turn wrenches! O.k. so I just signed up also but I've been reading the blog for a few years. It's great! Anyway Welcome I also work in TV (graphic artist), But I'm a Carbuilder at heart. Fan of Jesse James, his work and my girlfriend loves Sandra Bullock. Not a big Monster Garage fan (auditioned once, before it went under) Congratulations on M.M . What kind of car are you looking for ? I'm on Craigslist religiously start there. I found my 98 Toyota PartsRunner and my 49 4dr Merc. If your stumped though look no further than your Prius! Rip that Turd shaped body off that Electric-Skateboard ch***is and graft on a chopped shoebox (you familliar with a shoebox?)and Viola! You have a true custom. A hybrid sled! Don't forget the carpool stickers those are already a collectors item. For inspiration look at the New Paso Robles picture thread. Check out the Sam Barris green Mercury and remember he chopped that when it was a year old. DON"T BE A TOOL___Paul
I've had the pleasure of being friends with quite a few of the Monster Garage guys, and maybe we've even met! You're Tod Mesirow, right (judging by your screen name)? Anyway, nice Buick -- '59-60 GM p***enger cars have always been my favorite.
