[thumbsup]  I don't mind an old rod with some patina or "character".  But only when its actually a whole, thought out, semi-well put together car.  This new trend of throwing a bunch of random crap together with the intent of making it ugly (and 99% of the time, unsafe) really chaps my ass.

I could not agree with anyone more.

i've seen lots of silly automotive trends, this is one I cannot wait for it to die (almost makes me miss underglow and LED washer nozzles  [laugh] )

they don't have to be boyd coddington perfect, but if your going to put your time and money into a car, don't purposely make it a piece of shit. there are plenty of half done dream cars that are in that stage.

on another note, new cars with rusted hoods? why, why, why, why! when I graduated VW school, I could have taken a job on the east coast for about twice as much as I got to come back here.... but I couldn't do it, I could not imagine my car getting rust.. plus I'm not a big fan of cold weather.

Feel like getting one of my cars crashed up and doing a rat transformation..

This is my pops back in '71

It's trippy finding out that my pops had an entire life before I was born

DUDE.....  that's just awesome.

BTW, I think I've found which gasser to build:



Stuart Baker's Studebaker Gasser Coupe...  BTW, it's a 41 Champion Coupe

40-41 were good year cars to make gassers out of.. no doubt about that!  Sure there's the ChevyII's Falcons, shoeBoxes and so many others, but the 40/41 Ford or Willy's really just make a gasser look "right"
Sometimes when you say no, you really mean YES, that is why we have the safe word.. "FLÜGGÃ...ÆŽNKâˆ,â,¬ÄŒHIÅ'βØL∫ÊN"  If at any time the pleasure is too much, simply say the safe word, and we will stop"


Dirty people say:
"yep.. Ducati makes a fine motorcycle.. If your into all that Crotchrocket Bulls@#t!"

If I could, I would love to have a shoebox or a studebaker truck.  One of each would be the ultimate.  Guess I'll just keep dreaming.   :-\
