Tweet

Don - We have a place in Hawaii, so we decided to take a vacation from our vacation. thanks for asking, yes I did get a little done. I'm installing the gas tank and getting the radiator made so I can make the hood. I'll post some pics when I get back. the hurricane is supposed to come threw tonight, it's supposed to be pretty ugly.


Brickman - It takes me 3 or 4 days to get back to normal.
The people are very nice. I aways have fun with the kids, they try and talk to me in English. I always carry small books with me to give to them. If you get into the back streets or in the higher crime areas then its different. not that I hang out there

We are getting 25 ft. waves.

We won't know till we try to fire it up! It was kind of weird to be doing that, but after the hurricane passed we had no power at the shop, so Dan and I were sitting around the house bored. We were trying to make Daytona (that year too ) so we hooked up my little generator and ran some halogen flood lights off of it and proceeded to build his 455. It wasn't ideal, but ya do what ya gotta do!

I will probably be the minority, but I love deadlines. I think it comes from years of drag racing. Regardless, I seem to do better under stress. I think you can do this,looking at the photo's you have got a lot of the hard stuff done. Even if you try and miss the date you are going to have fun with your son, and that will be more memorable than any street rod event. besides your T will hold two people.

Hello, I was curious if you have passed the $3,000 mark yet? I was reading through this post to try and find out, but that is alot of pages

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa Oops!!! Sorry Don----

Hey Don, that's only 9 over budget, about the same as most of mine go!!!! You don't even wanna know what we have in old Merc #2 right now!!!!! But hey, ya tried and it certainly has made for a most interesting and informative thread!!!

For the newbs to Hot Rodding and at CHR, this thread and Brians RPU thread are probably THE 2 most informative threads you could ever care to read anywhere on the 'Net!!! They are both long, but well worth your time!!!!!

Thank you Dave. How about one from you on building a glass Merc? That one I would love to see.

Well, we the ordeal I've been through on those cars, I'm afraid some of the words would be unacceptable on a public forum!!!!!!!

I understand. I've never said certain words in front of my Sons, and they have done the same. But lately we have broken that rule quite a few times.

Don

I even invented new words while I was building mine!!!! ---Just didn't post 'em.

Well, as long as you say "eh ?" after each one, you are probably ok.

Don

Dave is 100% correct.

Yeah, but if I don't hold the record for stringing those words into a sentence I'm at least in the top 3

I'm still driving the roadster pickup 7 days a week, and still going to the "cruise nights" locally. We recently lost our best cruise night spot, as the mall where we held it every Saturday night for the last 20 years has been sold, and the new owners don't want the liability of all them "high powered racecars" (his words) on their property, so---we have moved our act up to the A &W---the root beer folks. I actually won the coveted "A&W employees pick" this past Saturday night, and was awarded the goofiest damn brown, white, and ORANGE hat that you ever seen, and a gold "cruisin the Dub" tie pin.---I look enough like that damn bear already, without wearing the hat!!!

I broke the language barrier a few months back . Maybe on the next one i will know more as not to yell out obsenities.
