Ya never know what you'll find in a barn.

yeah those came with the carbs off of Dirty2's "rat rod"They won't be on the car though.

 

i still think those are pics of a barnfind, cuse theres no way jamie has got that much done on his car.

 

So what are you saying?????;0

I'm trying to have it ready for my show but I think money (and my lack of it!) will be a big factor.

 

that was a great gag! funny shit. Dude, the car looks awesome - wish I could find a decent model A body to chop up!

 

good thread, i like it & the car is 'right on'
whoever thought that was a fresh barn find must not of ever pulled a machine out of a shed before. - i could tell right away it was not fresh out of the barn. - what did he do air the tires, (maybe change one or two?) move tons of junk out of the way, pull it out & wash it all off then offer here 600?
HAHAHAHAAAAAA good one i like it.

 

ANYONE CAN RESTORE EM, IT TAKES AREAL MAN TO CUT ONE UP!
YOUR DOING A NICE JOB!

 

DUDE! You got my heart rate up and I was gonna line up a ramp truck and a road trip to Texas if that were true. Then I woulda brought it by for you to kiss goodbye. Good one! I'm glad I read to the point where you said you were kidding, as I was about to lay into you about messing with old ladies and stealing cars... $1000. I woulda been there with $3000 in a heartbeat! Looks good man. Keep it up.

last week called, they want you back.

 

Never feel bad for rodding a potential restoration Abone....the dudes that knew Model As (as "newer" cars) are all getting too old to drive - check out the prices (adjusted for inflation and today's dollar) and you'll see that Ts and As have dropped in value as restored cars -

"chop 'em if you got 'em"

I was just going to send you this in a pm but since you called me out in public I'll post it here too.Why are you calling me a dick head?You don't fucking know me enough to justify that or the fashion tag comment! The damn car was not that nice it was in a fire so none of the model A restorers would touch it but they wanted the drivetrain and such so I took off the body and sold the rest to recoop most of my money.I'm not made of money so I had to sell off my last car to get a decent(not perfect)body to build from but I finally had the money to buy one that wasn't rusted completely out.I 'm not building some "rat rod" piece of shit car.I'm building a very soild car with period parts I've gathered over years.When the scene fades away I'll regret cutting it up? What fucking scene what fucking fad?Period , traditional cars will always be here because they are timeless ,regardless of what scene,fads,styles and mindless opionated assholes like yourself dictate.You won't find any gimmicky bullshit on this car when it's finished.Nothing would have been done with this car if I hadn't of bought it to build.I never bagged on the restorers either. I only said let them drive around at 25mph.It's hard to enjoy a car thats hard to drive anywhere you want to go! Even if you are a guy that "just builds hot rods" or not you make yourself sound like an asshole by just attacking someone for doing something you wouldn't do.Your post (or any of your others) had no merit or substance to it.Instead of bitching about what I do go write a tech post and help spread some of your knowledge and maybe help someone build a car YOU would approve of. Have a nice day and fuck off!

what about to 2 fords in the back ground?now that your so busy with the coupe ,i could haul them off for you!

 

Hey Bullet contact Fatflatty on here they belong to him and he wants to get rid of them.Still alot of good parts there.

 

hey hilbilltjim1948, why dont you post pics of your car so we can all fucking rake your ass over the coals. i would never talk shit about some one elses car unless they provoked it. no fucking way this coupe would have ever been put back on the road as a restored car. jamie is giving this coupe life back. and i dont give a shit what you believe or think but every old car has a soul and this one is way alive and full of correct parts. until you have something of value to say or some contribution - BACK OFF.

 

spare me ,is that your best come back?i messaged jamie but no reply ,ive, told him i was stiring shit cause he had us all going with the start of this thread ,as a joke but it seems there is not much of a sense of humour amongst h.a.m.b just guys who consider themselves the nostalgia police ,ive chopped a good car in the past and regretted the chop even though we did a good job of it just look at mercury charlies ,sorry for pissin all you guys off ill remeber to keep any jokes simple in future as in Australia sarcasm is rife and its the way we treat our friends cause we can handle it and we have the ability to realise its a joke without having to be told its a joke!bag me bann me i dont give a fuck!last of all bight me!

 

every old car has a soul? get off the acid !every old car has a history and as ive said since my original post it was a shit stir and all you guys fell for it just like at the start of jamies post you all fell for it ,i did not put shit on the car as im sure he knows what he is doing ill put pics of my car on soon but only to laugh at you guys trying to get revenge for my shit stir ,read my post again i DID NOT PUT SHIT ON THE COUPE i put shit on jamie for choppin it ,have you ever chopped a car and not had someone say you shouldnt have chopped it ,sure i said what i said in jest but me thinks i should have meant it now ive had so many tryhard readnecks sending me abuse through pms,what will it take to calm you guys down? old cars have a soul!!!!thats gold

 

Fopr fucks sakes man, SLAM IT NOW !! 600 clam$ is CHEAP. Ever tried scoring a decent Deuce frame these days? Let alone the Flathead or body?

GRAB IT !!

 

im soooooo sorry jamie iwas just stirring shit as you had us all going with your first post about it being a barn find ,ive copped plenty of abusive messages for my post ,which i do not regret at all i was simply stirring you guys up which worked a treat ,as for my posts containing no merit orsubstance thats your own opinion ,one that i dont really care about ,check the for sale posts see if any one has sense of humour for sale cause i think a few of your buddies have lost theirs,any way good luck with the coupe and yes i do think it looks good chopped and to explain in australia callin some one a dick head isnt that bad some people will wear it like a badge of honour a bit like a few guys on this board who are proud to call em selves rednecks ,its called sarcasm look it up in the dictionary learn how to use it and enjoy!

 

No worries Mate!! I think it's all just been blown up too much.I 'm not pissed and never was. Now maybe this post can die because it just reminds me that I haven't done shit to the coupe lately because of other shop bussiness!!

 

How much did you chop it?That thing looks dead on!!

 

Thanks!! 5 inches.

 

that looks awesome, jamie!!! hope to see it at pistons and paint!!

 

Oh crap!, it was a joke? fuck! now you tell me, I just crushed a perfect 32 5 window just to spite hilbillyjim1948, I was getting ready to post the pics of the carnage when I read this post, oh well I will save them for the next restorer that steps in my groove.

 

Kidding aside, that is a great looking car!
my first chop was a 79 datsun f10, we had the hose running on the interior while I torched the top off, I loved that car every bit as much as I love my 31 today , because it was mine.

 

1000.00 HOW ABOUT MY RIGHT NUT!!! Look at the body on that damn thing! Sheeeeeeeeesh "daddy54"!!!?

 

Sorry, just went back and read it was a joke. Id still give my right nut for it though! Nice chop.
