About those tires, all of them appear to be slick one row of tread from the inside to just about center......... some crazy shaver out there, vintage traction trick, or just plain bald? WTF, the car is cool as hell anyway!
Dammit Brian!! I like it here, I really do. It doesn't make my **** hard or make my heart race. So I gotta leave? WTF bro! It's a damn kool car and a nice individual spin on the hot rod T. I can't say it's a common approach and that right there is enough in my book. I love em, but I could live a long time without seeing another Deuce hiboy. This works much better. Thanks for sharin. Wiat a min, I'm feelin something funny...
Not really feeling it. Too many...retro-bling(?) parts make it a bit over the top for me. I like them pure and simple. Too low...the tail pipes in free space...the shortened deck...the curved top gl***...the headlights...the seating position so high. I'm being super critical on it I know...but when someone says I MUST like something I tend to get that way because I start to question just WHY I'm not getting it! Hahaha THIS is my style Modified...so I think I'll stick around anyway.
Well, nobody's perfect! Re: "...the seating position so high...", the guy is like 6'6", so it's pretty tough to down below the w/s. Me seated, I'd probably be looking thru the w/s, but I couldn't reach the pedals! Brian QUOTE=Hackerbilt;6838152]Not really feeling it.

...and thats why Hot Rodding is so much fun! Wouldn't it **** if everyone liked EXACTLY the same thing and did everything exactly the same way? It IS a cool car...no question on that!
He should be at the relix riot. He lives close and hes at gilmores often. Hes also has a bicycle with a turbo charger that he starts with a leaf blower. Pretty bad ***!!
One thing peturbs me... the scrub line. The frame is sitting lower than the rims, making it potentially dangerous. That car would never be legal here in New Zealand because of the scrub line, or lack of it. The big gap between the rear of the body and the tail pipes looks a little awkward to me, but otherwise it's pretty cool.
