who is frank mack?
i'm not tryin to be an asshole but who is he?
i've never heard of him.
got any pics of his cars?

 

I spent a day with George Barris at a "World of Wheels" show last year shooting the shit and had lunch with him there....

pick me...pick me....can I lick the bus windows now too?

 

Hey beep you don't know me. well you sorta know me, I mean I have said nice things about your car. Ah hell I ain't important anyway.

Oh BTW back in the day that was one of the places they made cars. That was before we knew that the japs could copy anything.

Nyaaa nyaaa your from the east coast and we don't like you.

 

Man, I dunno...

Olskool's a good guy. He ran into real rodder, and wanted to share with y'all. No - not long on patience, and maybe a little geographically impaired, but a good guy.

Still - a funny thread. Olskool - take a deep breath, man. It'll be alright.

 

Frank Mack....Hey, wait a minute, is this one of those Mike Hunt jokes?

 

Post #1 of this thread tells a very cool, worthwhile story. Thanks for sharing with us.

Posts #2 & #3 come off as lameass crys for attention, worthy of the sound thrashing that has been administered.

 

Band name: Mike Hunt and the Honorable Discharges.

 

Ehhh, shit I'll throw some Chililogic™ on it here:

#1 Go back for more stories, Frank Mack's '27 is the Doane Spencer of '27 Fords in my opinion. A long while ago, on the HAMB, there was a video of the Mack roadster being thrashed the dragstrip in the late fifties or early sixties. Frank Mack is a real hot rodder. Get pics and share them. Please.

#2 Regarding the OMG in the title: I'll bet that's why he told you the stories. You sound like a good listener.

#3 Regional pride is good, but cars like the Mack roadster transcend all that bullshit.

#4 It's bitchen to see flashes of the old HAMB humor, no bouta doubt it.

#5 (the punch line) Guy like Frank Mack are gone. Won't be long before guys like Ol' School34's friend will be gone too. Believe me, I want to hear what those guys were like. And now that I'm getting deeply into geezerhood, I like it when a guy younger than my kids even knows who Mike, the World's Fastest Hippie, Mitchell was. There are stories about the sixties and early seventies drag racing that are amazing and sometimes hilarious. The role of the storyteller goes wayback in history. It's fun to shoot the kid a poke in the ribs, but try to include the wink that goes along with it.

2¢ worth if my thoughts.

 

...not to worry...I'm now in therapy for that disorder...i'LL bE fINE sOON...

 

Didnt read through the whole thread did ya?

 

This is gettin funnier all the time. Shit all i did was reply and tell him I knew who Frank Mack was to brighten his otherwise fucked up day the you assholes kick him in the nuts.. Ha Ha .. I love it.. Oh ya just in case yous stoopid? I do know who he was and his roadster.. If your askin who the fuck he was you dont know JACK....

I definetly knew who Frank Mack was and the car he made famous,just didn't like the impatience & arrogance of the initial posts.Some of you also need to read closer,he was talking to "Earl"who worked with "Frank".Yes,this person probably has some stories to tell of his own,we would love to here them.

 

I dont know jack. But maybe your vote doesnt count, youre from michigan too!

And exactly which coast is DETROIT on!? Thats a hell of a wide beach.

 

Who is Mike Hunt?

 

I don't know the poster here, but I did know Frank Mack.

He was a pioneer in the Hobby and built one of the most significent Roadsters ever built, and deserves way more respect than this.

 

Yes he does Rudy but its the HAMB remember. We got a bunch of punk know it alls here that are so smart they can tell you the last post on a rusty traditional rod but they dont know jack about the real shit. Macks car was a real work of craftsmanship and if these fucks wanna ask who he was.. well......... We know...........hope to see you in a couple weeks at Franks......

Dave

 

Mike Hawk's sister...........

Easy now Dave.....haha.....hell, I'm a younger guy, (I guess), and I definitely KNOW that roadster........ a CLASSIC....

 

By the way Kids... this couldnt be more traditional so if ya gotta ask who he is maybe you need to go to another board.......
Dave

 

anyone have a pic or description of the car? I googled to no avail.

 

Over spring break, I got to see that roadster. It still looks awesome, those E&J headlights sure are bad-ass. The guy that showed me the car said it still had the original paint, can someone verify that?

 

See... all you had to do was wait (and whine a little). See. I told you.

Thank god someone posted a pic. I know the car, but I never knew who built it.

Cool.

 

FUCK! Another one who cant read through a thread before asking a dumb ass fucking question!
Try page 2.

 

Olskool took a whuppin on that post. All kidding aside, well not ALL kidding, but tell the truth I still get a kick outta shaking Gene Winfield's hand when I see him at the swaps. I can remember seeing him in a lot of mags in the late 50s-early 60s. One of the neat things about wrench heads, most of them stay approachable right on through.

the story was good, deserved better handling from the original poster though - wtf? getting his panties in a twist after less than 30 minutes of posting the original post?

Spoiled it.

 

I didn't know who Frank Mack was before this post. What is truly bad, after the way Oldskool handled not getting any attention, I'll probably still not remember him, but will remember the thrashing he got here.

Mark Twain once said "'Tis better to keep your mouth shut and look like a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Well, I have no doubt about this - Detroit is on the North Coast of North America! Just like Oklahoma is on the Prairie Coast. ::nods approvingly::

 

LOL What are you tryin to say Doc?? Quit sugar coatin it man! I couldn't agree with you more. Some people are just better off lookin at the purtty pictures.

Well, he got his wish... PLENTY of people have replied to his "OMG" thread. Probably woulda been a lot sweeter if he wouldn't have got all bent outa shape about it first though.

 

So what did the guy from the bar say about your truck or the green truck oldschool ? You did show him pictures didn't you ?
