Rediculously low 31 on ebay, I love it!!!!

SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOCKED LONG AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Where did the coupe go, is it sold, ended early???

 

last time I looked, it was up to $12,000. I wonder what it sold for?

 

This post is like a traffic accident
I keep looking at it

 

I "respect the time,talent,busted knuckles and late nights,creativeness...BUT I liked it before you decided to modify a hard to come by body..

 

christ people, ya preach build it how you want and fuck everyone else and then when some one does there ruining "valuble tin" bla bla bla.. well fuck ya'll this is gay. he never even askd what you thought of it because he didnt care. god forbid someone builds a car and doesnt care what a bunch of keyboard jockeys care about it. dont like it dont buy it. this is retarded

 

Like it or not the car was sold today....for $13,000 US Dollars....... so lets do the math $4,000 invested and sold for $13,000 thats a $9,000 profit... knock it all you like but that is a good profit or "ROI" Return On Investment!!!

-Bigdaddy

 

so is it going to paso or not??????????

 

not going to paso...my buddie sold it today to a gentelman in New Jersey.... knowing him though he could have another ready by then... he is very talented for 18... better than i am at 24.


-Bigdaddy

 

V8, when I was your age, I spend lots of money on my cars, and when it was time to sell one I never came close to breaking even, let alone sell one for a profit...
Ya done good kid...

But I hope you learned something from all this.
Before you start building your next car, run the specs by the HAMB Approval Committee.
Don't look at me, I'm not on it.
And it would not hurt to send a couple of bleuprints to Dave Hill either...

 

well it seems like most probly dont like my opinion of that 31 but i love it, if he drives it everyday i give it up for him. yeah sure it's maybe a lil waste of a 31 body and who knows where it will stop how low the chop will be or how deep the channel is but, he's just doing what he saw like me when i was a lil kid was roth designs and makin his own toy for his life. if i had the skillz as him i'd build a 31 just like that, just with out the tractor tires but i mean you shouldn't talk shit about someones rod and if he built it because he wanted to not just to impress other or to make people happy which he didn't make all of yall happy about it. then do what you want who cares what others think. there thats my two cents so i'll shut up now

I am not bashing on you 'metalshapes', but I dont agree... He (V8, the owner of the car) didnt even start this thread... someone who found his auction on Ebay was impressed and posted this for everyone to see. Maybe he (V8) had some precognition and decided NOT to ask for the HAMB's opinions, because.. too be honest, the HAMB can be QUITE brutal.

I have some 'wild' ideas for my project that I am not going to start for some time now... but it doesn't fit into the "traditional" theme.. So whether you guys see it or not remains to be seen.

But harassing an 18 yr old, just because of a car he built?? Come on guys.. When I was 18 I was reading OGNC's editorials/writeups in Minitruckin... At least this kid is working with AMERICAN steel from the correct ERA!

And you guys are bashing him for his 'vision'? he wanted a super low, super chopped, big wheeled car... I'm thinking that is exactly what he aimed to do... Sure, the impracticallity of the car stands out like a sore thumb.. But when I was 18, a standard cab minitruck with 12's behind each bucket seat was fucking cool as hell...13 years later I probably couldn't drive that same truck 4 blocks...

Sure, you may not agree with what he says about the car being comfortable... come on... he is 18. When I was 18 i was driving an early 80's Toyota truck with the seat as far forward as it could get (i am just under 6'3"). Would I drive a car/truck like that now?? Hell no!

Think back to when YOU guys were 18... You guys RULED the WORLD!!! Someone told you something couldn't be done?? You FUCKING DID IT! Someone says "You can't drve your car"... You prove that MOTHERFUCKER WRONG!

Anyways, jsut my meager BAC .25 cents!

anyone can build something WRONG..........
Thats OBVIOUS these days............

Move to CALIFORNIA and play HANDBALL with the GREASER GANG RAT ROD scene........
KUSTOM KULTURE bro,,,,,
LOW BROW or whatever.........

It's the LIP SINGING VERSION of GRADE SCHOOL THRILLS DEVINE
Minus the part of MANNING UP by GLUING your BALLS to your SEAT and running a GEOMETRICLY BUILT HOT ROD FULL THROTTLE until it SHAKES,,,
and your heartbeat makes you light headed....

STEERING BOXES and MOUNTING also show a BUILDERS fucking BRAIN.....
Thats one of the MOST overlooked areas...............
its insane to me.............

And if I wanted to IMPRESS the KIDDIES with some SLOPPED together SHITBOX that SITS low,and then think I have BRAGGING RIGHTS cause it sits 40" roof to pavement yet The MIDGET from FANTASY ISLAND, is the only one who can drive it 1000 miles without GETTING BLUE BALLS.............. and CHRISTOPHER REEVE SYNDROME..........
I might make it in OLD SKOOOLLLZZZ RODDZZZ with my GANG.........

Whats the POINT in DRIVING a HOT ROD, hammered so MUCH that you have to SUCK your OWN COCK or SMELL your BALL SWEAT everytime you bend over to light a smoke???????

If I was BUILDING to MIMMICK an ED ROTH model, I would do as ED did, and PAY some other DUMB ASS to DRIVE the THING..................

even in my KULTURE KOOLNESS...(tm) I would still pay attention to the GRAVEDIGGER(tm) that KAMAKAZI's JAPANESE james DEAN RAT RODDERS KNOWN as the UNFUCKABLE VAGINA (tm) named SCRUBLINE,(tm),,,,,,,,,

These DUMB FUCKS aint never LOST a TIRE or SNAPPED a SHACKLE......going faster then the SPEED it takes to UNLOAD their CARTOON CHARACTER off the TRAILER to LOOK cool at PASO..............

so they HAVE NO IDEA of anything except some COOLNESS they BOUGHT on EBAY....................

SCRUBLINE and RAIN and BIAS PLYS,,, equals DEATH COMES RIPPING out the POMPADOR ... you dig FONZI?????? cars like doing 360 on transmission PAN when they are the LOWEST POINT on the car..........

CENTER LINKS lower then the BOTTOM of the RIM????
what the FUCK is that?
But hey at LEAST you have the 38 ford TRUCK gay SHELL......... or the FLAMETHROWERS....and your a GOOD SWING DANCER

My favorite is WHEN the U-BOLTS are LOWER then the SCRUBLINE....
and the BIAS PLYS are like 40 years old......

But then again I like to make things GO FAST before I build something thats as LAZY as the STATUE of LIBERTY when it came to HOT RODDING,,,,,

Leave your MOVING COLEMAN BARBEQUES at HOME....

Building HOT RODS that IMPRESS REAL HOT RODDERS. is why NO ROCKABILLY STYLE SETTERS come to BONNIEVILLE.... and why I dont have to use a toilet COVER to shit in the outhouse on the salt,,,,

Cause V.D. seems to STAY in the PARKING LOT of VIVA LAS VEGAS,,,,

Its the HOT ROD MECCA of VIETNAM........

No wonder they HAVE TECH now on the SALT,, these fucks might build a BELLY TANKER out of two fucking CANOES welded together......

oh and when you see them SLUGGING on the BUMPS at EL MIRAGE to LOW for the LAKE BUMPS while were doing 360's everywhere...

Thats the TIME to call the PIN STRIPERS to GIMMICK of your DASH, with a PICTURE to keep our MINDS off the LACK of FUNCTION in the PIECE OF SHIT you CAVEMAN together.....

WHAT A FUCKING COMIC THAT WELDER IS...

SHOOT ME NOW

DAVE HILL GERMANAZI

I just wanted everyone to read this again........not to be another germ jockey on this board but I SWEAR TO GOD !!!!!!JACK WE NEED TO GET TOGATHER AND RAID LIKE BENNYS AND FUCK UP ANYONE WITH ROLLED UP CUFFS.....what a fuckin joke hot rods are becomming....

 

And the Oscar goes to...
Damn I almost did'nt read the whole thing cause this dail up shit took me about 30 minutes to get through.
They could make a movie out of this one. That was some of the funniest shit ever,(Germ, Live at the Apollo)with that Robt. Stack shit? That was humor!
Any way V8, I drive an A coupe with about a 6 inch chop and I'm used to it after 7 years of driving it. I like it in a PPE,Roth,Weirdo kind of way. I dont think I would want to own one that radical myself.
I think you may be an Artist. Your vision did exactly what ART is supposed to DO! Get reaction! Good, bad, some left disturbed and undecided. Good Job on that one. You may be a genius, if you said " I intend to create somthing so UNDONE,so Wild and provoctave, everyone will know of it's exsistants, and then, pay a good profitable amount for it"
Do I like it? Yes, in a humorus,toy,artistic rendition way
Do I like your motivation? Hell Ya! When I was 18, I had a chopped 52 F-1 that I did in Dads garahe at 17 and some mullet machines (had both, the Mullet and 67 ranchero haha it was 82) and I was tattooing coke whores and spending my money on women,booze and hot-rods! The rest I wasted.
Good for you, ya made some cash, and almost started a mini cival war and got some poeple thinking..
I wounder if the New owner has read this yet?
WOW..K-Member

 

Well done,v8!!
Kool car.
It will be remembered now,and used for referation in the future.
Your in good company,together with lots of well known hot-rod builders.
You made it.
Young.

Keep building!!


GARAHE!!

 

V-8, I agree with many of the posts supporting you work. You built it as you wanted; great. Wish I would have done it at your age. Keep us posted on your next project. This disscussion sure beats bitching about billet. Neal

 

My hat is off to anyone who follows their own vision, has the skill and drive to get the job done. If you turn a profit at the end of it, more power to ya.

I just wish I could get my car on the road.

 

Kill it now...

You're all a bunch of jack-offs (but I'm not gonna FIGHT YOU about it.)

...and I agree with V8.

His car wasn't worth all this shit.

(and if you reread all the posts, you'll find that no one threatened anyone until the 'talented' 18 year old couldn't take a joke and threatened Germ)

 

Germ,

Just curious dude, what have you built(from scratch)?. Did you use all the formula's you spoke of?

I think that car would look right at home next to the Purple People Eater and Brown neck Bandito, just my opinion though.

Pete-

 

I didnt threaten anyone.
period....
They threatened me,
And if any of you want to JUMP, then FEEL free,,

I like the rush...........

and the rest of you seem to be able to TAKE my posts into something they NEVER WERE,,,

BUSTING the???(hamb name) GEAR

I'd shove your TIRE IRON up your ASS,,,,,
You should MEET the MAN you think you can ASSAULT or TRIVIALIZE his EXISTANCE



I built my SEARS lawnmower FROM SCRATCH,, at the EQUIVALENT most of you build your HOT RODS from SCRATCH,,

I bolted on some MOON DOO-DADS,,, and some DICE dash KNOBS,
Then got into the HOOTENANNY for FREE,,,


I win, cause IF I wouldn't HAVE said some HAZING about this CAR, this POST wouldnt have turned into a BIG ORDEAL,,,

Your the FOOLS, you HATE ME, yet you READ ME,,,

At least my HEROES were laughing with me,,,,

Oh I made an INTAKE today out of ROOFING TIN, and had SKRATCH pin stripe it...

I will sell it on EBAY tonight


38 GRILL SHELLS for everyone,,,

ON ME,,
FREE,,,,,
JACK

 

Damn, your a very angry guy. I like you Jack. Seriously, besides your kick ass lawnmower??

Alright, I'll remove my 39 truck grill and install a 32, only if you be my bestes friend.

Pete-

 

Like I said...... Trash......you drug induced homo.

 

Man, you all are some serious ass people, holy crap... I asked for your opinions on the car and some of you end up busting this dudes(V8's) balls, I'm 18 too...that stuff isnt cool...he did something I wish I could do, dude has more talent in one finger than my lazy self has in my whole body...His props are well deserved despite what others think...and Germ isn't as bad as you all think, he states an opinion and then he poked a little fun...he wasnt telling the V8 to kill himself or something, holy shit... Sorry for making this long ass thread one post longer...
Greg

 

I'm gonna kick all your asses at Paso.

My cuffs go to my knees and my switchblade is sharp. You fags don't stand a chance.

I shaved my handlebar mustache and I grew a pompadore, just like Von Dutch......

I don't have a Tire Iron cause i used it for a shifter, but I don't need it anyway.

I also just bought some vintage slicks on ebay that fit on 48 inch tractor wheels. I'm going to mount them on my roadster and roll it into the show Upside Down.......... Then I'll be the coolest.


You guys are fucked, you may as well just stay home.

 

I went and saw it today as its getting shipped to New Jersey tomm. V8 has mad skills and probably better than alot of people on this board including but limited to me. he is 18 years old,, I hang with this kid all the time ya he talks shit and trys to be tuff... he just messing around.. so CHILL..

 

Damn, that's coming this way, maybe i'll see that ride at a show this year, that'll be cool.

Pete-

 

Pete...I'll take your truck grill

 

If a newbee came on this site & started posting the stupid crap Germ does, he'd get run off with a tire iron. Why the Hell does this site put up w/ his crap? Thats a serious question there. No offense, Germ, but in the last year & a half or so that I've lurked here, I ain't never seen any post by him that actually helped this sites main purpose. What do you drive? I notice evry time someone "calls you out" about your cars or projects, you got something smart assed to say like the lawnmower comment. Grow up, dude. Most people here think you're an idiot- does that make you feel special?

V8- awesome ride. That car pushed the envelope to the edge, & thats what building these things is all about.

 

Thanks, I agree w/you and 98 percent of everyone else here
