that's okay, too.

i only like "classy" ladies who wear leopard print

Very nice and respectful IMO as is all of your work.

But the world abounds with exploiters so please beware as I'm sure you are.

And I am a bit jealous. I built (still building) mine piece by piece pretty much and it will never have the accolades of yours as I am a big fat ugly dude. Although I do know some sexy mammas who would pose sexy for it!

But that is OK. Mine would blow yours off the road in a race, and somehow being the dumb-ass man I am, I take solace in that.

OK, acceptance, keep up the good work, and peace out, Dr. Kitz

Oh now you make it sound so bad... Nothing a little diet, sex change and good shaving razor couldn't fix ...

But seriously, I think the reason Hiboy is getting some attention is not only because I am a girl owner (it's true, you don't see a woman owning a 32 Hiboy everyday - to say the least), but also because I am out there driving the beast 1000 miles a month and very active, going to car meets, car shows, car cruises, contributing, participating and supporting the hobby and hotrod scene of my local area.

Do I see car drag racing in my future?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm .... NOT

Although I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy going from a full stop to flooring the gas pedal in 0.1 seconds and doing a nice burnout... And I'll be darn if any car can ever take off faster than me when at a red traffic light. Unless the other car is a hotrod too, that is

I don't care for top speed but I am a sucker for launch. And would love to tweak Hiboy to make him launch faster than he already is... Maybe in 2008, cause in 2007 I still have a LOT of basic fixing up to do, such as:

1- replacing the entire wiring
2- replacing read chocks
3- doing wheel alignment and balance
4- restoring and adding the two 1932 original louvered hood side panels I got on ebay last fall.
5- redoing the seat cause it is KILLING my back and noone wants to ride with me because of it
6- redoing the carpetting
7- getting a good flat black paint job
8- adding an electric brake booster
9- getting the progressive linkage to work
10- polishing intake manifold
11- powder coating 1941 wheels
12- restoring 1941 hubcaps
13- redoing exhaust - Cherry bombs? headers? What? hiboy sounds lovely but he's way too polite... I want him to get louder...

the list goes on and on... THEN I can add: Adding more power?

I agree faith, I think the reasons you and the rod are getting attention is because of a combination of things. First of all, you are proactive, and really enthusiastic about it. Lots of women have neat cars, but how often do they get on here and mix it up with the guys? You have a good attitude about the car and the hobby, and you don't really give a d*** if people like it or not.

Secondly, your car is pretty neat looking. Sure, it has some shortcomings you want to correct............never had one that didn't. But overall the car has that true hot rod look, and commands attention on it's own.

Your enthusiasm for this hobby is nice to see, and maybe some of your stuff is a little over the top, but that is ok. It is you, and that is all that matters. Plus, you are doing what hot rods are built to do........drive the wheels off of them. No dust collecting on your Deuce.

Keep having fun, that is the true sign of a real hot rodder, and regardless of what you may have heard other places, you are a true hot rodder.
