    Not to be disrespectful,but I think the "boring" aspect comes directly from this quote"But in Germany it wasn't allowed for a long time to build rods, so we have not much experience." Most peoples first thoughts are ,why? The next thought is the war.the next thought is no reply.A little less kraut and little more hotrod and nobody will think that ,but.....with that phrase in your post,most will be turned off. just my opinion.
    Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

    HAHAHA, what a cute idea to think it wasn't allowed to build hot rods over here because of the war.
    I imagine how the Krauts storm other countries with their hot rods

    The German more than thoroughly bureaucracy was the reason, nothing else!

    But please accept my apologies for that I called this forum boring, it may be a little slow for a hot rod forum, but it is definitive not boring!

    Btw, nice pickup you have! Great work!

    Thnx for the compliments on the truck,lots of work!!! I understand about the bureaucracy,things are the same way here! This is my first project ,soo I do not have alot of advice for your car . There are some other members from Germany on this forum,maybe they have some recomendations.They have also posted some nice pitures of shows and events from Germany ,there are some good looking hotrods over there. Good luck

    I don't know Ole, I've kind of learned that first impressions mean a lot. Can't say I care for your entrance too much.

    I've also learned when things start off bad, they generally don't get much better.

    I think you are pulling our legs a little. I also wonder if you are really in Germany, or maybe Hoboken?
