ol skool rodz #5

Hey bro, do you know "Redondo Rodder"? He tried to "fight the good fight" too, but was ultimately outed as the KING OF POSEURS. Anybody remember POSEUR PROOF?

 

Hey OnionVilleJoto...take your six posts, shove 'em up your ***, and beat it. Don't know you, don't care to, but you just played the wrong card, p.a.l.

exactly - 1st no intro, or maybe I mised it then say you dont like Bo's stuff, then to really top it off talk **** about Jimmy White, the last one is like ****ing with all the Sinners. smart move guy..

 

I STILL think they should have named the magazine "RAT RODZ"...
Sam.

 

boy,it sure doesnt take much to tick off a bunch of you guys,eh? anyways,i personally like ol skool rodz..i like the fact that they show things that real people build and not just chip foose and some guy with $$..i enjoy their style..it almost reminds me of CKDeluxe without as much enph***is on how everything cool was from so-cal..dont get me wrong,they make a ton of cool stuff,but if you ever saw an article about anything further east it was a special issue..with OSR it's spread out nice and even..some so-cal cars,some PA cars...doesnt matter.i rather enjoy a magazine that's a bunch of fun written by guys closer to my age who understand what my troubles might be and are willing to help out.as far as the trouble with the "new" greaser "scene" and the people in it and the at***ude received,well,cant help you there.i've always been nice to people,especially like-minded people i share a common ground with.i'll sit and chat with the old timers as much as i'll shoot the **** with someone my age.why?because that's where you learn..if you've got a problem and you cant solve it on your own,find a 2nd or third person and get their view on it..they dont have to have a PHD or anything..sometimes the best answer could be something so simple.and guess what?you'll never know it because you didnt want to waste your time talking to the simpleton who came up with your answer.young or old,guys,***holes are everywhere.i've talked to guys twice my age who dont know anything and i've talked to guys half my age who dont know anything.everyone's got a problem with everyone..either the grey beards cuz some young punk with a wallet chain and some grease in his hair thinks he's cool or some young gun gets mad cuz on old fart told him his DAD has a nice car.get over it,grab your tool box and get back to work and maybe someone'll think it's cool,maybe someone'll think it's stupid.i've got a ton of magazine that i dont totally read because i only like half the cars in them.and there's nothing that says if a magazine ****s you have to buy it.i thought we were dealing with adults here?i'm not saying i'm better than anyone and i'm not up on some high horse thinkin i'm the new HAMB police or somethin.i'm just sayin how i feel about it.maybe some people are with me?maybe not.oh well.sorry to waste your time with such a long post!
Creepy

 

Thats why I love the HAMB. The opinions on here are so wide spread, kaos errupts into full fledge "spitting" matches, but each point get put up and everyone soon understands.

Lets all get in a circle for a group hug!!

One questions, I have seen one issue of OSR and thought it was about the "garage custom builder", opened the book and saw the likes of Jesse James in there....obviously I need to find a place that sells them regularly so I can dread more about it.

What are some mag's that represent the "backyard guy?"

(legitimate finished) kustoms and the such...but I don't sell half-***ed **** to fit the fad. I'll leave that up to posers like you. It sounds like I would have a better chance walking a mile with NO shoes than make it a mile driving one of your SoCal abortions.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are starting to sound like a ****.

It sounds as if you have stumbled on to the wrong message board. You say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', well my friend... finished is in the eye of the BUILDER. My HOTROD is finished. (Notice HOTROD, not ratrod) I am the ONLY one who gets to judge when it finished, because I built it, YOU did not. It's the way I want it... it's finished. You don't like it.. SO WHAT!

Furthermore, who the hell are you to call people, the likes of me, posers?! I have seen many cars through to completion, AND WON AWARDS AND PRESS DOING IT. May I suggest you get to know people before you pigeon-hole them into the poser catagory? I have the skills my friend. If I decide to not use them ALL on ONE of MY rides... it's my prerogative. Do us all a favor, loose the address of this website, turn off your compter, shut your yap and go look at the pictures in one of your 'finished car' magizines.

Respectfully yours,

LP

[/ QUOTE ]

I know Chip Foose, he seems real to me. I also was raised around rodders that built national award winning vehicles -BY THEMSELVES- on LIMITED BUDGETS. Weak building skills and not a lot of money are no excuse to owning a horrible car. It's just very frustrating to people that have been around longer than six months to have slapped together and very poorly designed cars become the "underground hero". Because in my youth the hero was the guy that could build a car in his garage and win the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award-NOT just twist tie together some smoke belching piece of junk yard art that sits 3/4 of an inch of the ground and that you have to be some kind of yogi-master to fold yourself into.
Nothing wrong with loving that stuff, but don't make anything with shiny paint the enemy- right Rudy?

 

What worries me most of all..........And NOBODY has mentioned this yet. GQ magazine (yes that same magazine that sells designer shoelaces) was a VLV doing a photo shoot. They were using the cars and some sap all d****d up in some fruity tooty "Teddyboyrockabillygreaserboy" get up. I wonder if he was holding a can of pabst with smudges of grease and a wrench hanging out of his pocket? Now you can hate OSR if ya like......but wait till GQ magazine starts in on this. Im gonna laugh till I cry.

 

Listen....I like old cars. Hobbled together,exposed weld, multicolor ones with duct tape and foam interiors, and I like clean, finished old customs also. Any magazine that shows me some of those cars and some of the car kulture is ok in my book. If you wanna go picking apart every magazine and every other thing related to cars that comes out because you have nothing else going on in your life then go right ahead.
There are a ton of people who are in the car "scene" that do great work that will never be recognised and there is some idiot that works across the street from another builder that will get a car noticed by someone going to the experienced builders shop and he'll get some coverage. It is what it is. Putting together a magazine is a hell of a lot of work and I for one enjoy it and look forward to every issue. For anyone that really complains,spend endless hours of your time and money and put together your own magazine so that other people can ***** about it.

please dont start that one Mike..

 

How in the hell there is not a punch-up at every swap meet I'll never know...

OSR guys...anything that I can get my hands on for inspiration or tech info is a Godsend; thanks.

 

I haven't seen #5 yet, but I think OSR does pretty well for a fledgling rag. People may ***** about coverage on Bo or other things seen in multiple issues, but usually these are the same people who won't lift a finger and send in an article or anything positive. I say if you know someone who builds a cool ride, take some pics write up a story and submit it. the editors will fine tune your story. I'm sure they don't have writers in every small town across america.

 

I found issue #5 last night & read it cover to cover in the garage over a couple beers. As always, a great read.

How about the straight axle coverage ... that's how I remember street machines when I was a little kid in the early '70s. Sure made my day to see the lineup of all those g***ers. I'm getting a nosebleed just hinking about it.

I don't like everything I read in OSR but it's one of my favorite mags right now. If you don't care for the mag, try another ***le, there's a gazillion new magazines these days, nobody's forcing you to read OSR ... WWS

 

wow, there are a buncha hyper-sensitive magazine readers here... it's just text and pix... get a life and get in the garage where you can make your point that actually matters.

In the past I've thought of The Rodders Journal as a "Great Read"... and "Hop-up" as a "great read"... so maybe I need to go back and read OSR instead of just looking at the kool pictures... before p***ing judgement.

Boyd's building a Rat Rod...

I like the term olD-sCHool, and even rodS, but rat rod has never sat well--no offense to anyone, seriously, that's just a personal thing.

If that ******* was refering to your car Loud Pedal car he must be a ****ing retard, I've seen it in person at the March Meet it is baaaddddaaa***sssss. I hope my '30 turns out 1/2 that cool.

 

union ville ***, I can almost gaurantee I was doing this **** before you, and I will be doing it after you. If I was trying to make a buck in the game I wouldnt be doing this. Like I said I have a small shop and I do good work, I am not in it for the fad. All of my friends that know me on this board know how long I have been doing this for. I'll tell you what I will buy you a plane ticket you can fly out here, work for me for a week and then tell me your opinion. As far as I am concerned you are the poser that jumped on the bandwagon. I will even take you to the barber, and buy you some work clothes.
love
JImmy White
P.s If you would like I can e-mail you pictures of my unfinished abortions.
P.ss. you are the quiet guy that stated your lame opinion that got all this started, maybe you should have stayed quiet.

 

Obviously he's never seen this .

**** this guy Jimmy... not even worth it.

 

Jason, I am trying to get my post count up, plus I need some excitement in my life. I appreciate your support bro.
Jimmy White

 

Will you buy me a plane ticket and let me come out there and work for a week, Jimmy? That sounds like too good of an offer to be wasted on that guy.



How's the roadster coming along? Is it close to being back from paint yet?

 

Anybody waiting for me to say something stupid enough to get this useless post locked down? Wel I'm not gonna do it! I like a good circle jerk as much as the next guy- looks like everyone gets to finish on UNIONVILLE this time!
