ave to all motorheads..
greetings,
just joined here so i suppose i'm required to introduce myself..found this place via google and a link there regarding a 36 stude coupe [i have one].
i'm 39, originally from poland [in us since 1980]..previously i cared more about bikes than cages, especially hd and i had a highly modified sportster while i was in the navy in the mid-80s, but had to change my passion into 4wheels after breaking my neck in 1990.
i am an unemployed quadriplegic, and i can barely afford to keep my daily driver [68 olds cutlass modified somewhat]on the road off my meager disability income but i manage somehow because driving it hard is the only thing keeping me sane and forgetful about a really bad chronic pain and other problems stemming from my disability.
i have photos of both of my rides in my gallery here if anyone wants to take a looksee..i'm attaching one of those photos here of me and my cutlass...
i 've been living in northern new jersey since becoming a crip because that's where my parents moved into just prior to my accident and i needed their help post my disability. previously i lived in nyc, rhode island and virginia. joysie sucks btw as far as laws go and drivers..
mydaily ride is a '68 oldsmobile cutlass s with a modified 350 rocket, modified th400, 10bolt posi w/3.73 gears. headers/duals..it sounds and rides great and i drive the crap out of it and hard - the way these cars are meant to be driven. it's not a show car or a garage queen but despite its 'character' marks like badly pitted chrome, some chips all over and well used interior i get thumbs up and compliments on it every single day i'm on the asphalt..
i also have a rodded'36 stude dictator 3 window coupe that's been mine since '96 but i lack the funds to upgrade it to driving and lawful standards of nj so my poor baby has been parked at my parents' house driveway for the past 9 years. she's one of tthe most beautiful coupes ever made in my opinion and has a modified gm 400 small block [torker2/holley combo hidden in a fake blower case], crane fireball cam, hei ignition/coil, headers/dual, mustang2 ifs, r&p steering [manual], power disc brakes all around, modified th350/shift kit, 12 bolt posi w/3.73 gears. i start it every month and once or twice a year take her for a spin around a block..
sheeesh, i guess that's plenty gab for an intro.. ;-)))))))Last edited by juras; 06-11-2005 at 10:45 PM.
when guns are outlawed only outlaws have guns.

Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
