The EPA did not exist until 1970... It didn't just come into being by osmosis. The people we sent to Washington created the agency.

By the way, that was Lady Bird Johnson who authored the crush em legislation and it was introduced in congress by the two senators from her home state, Texas. Tom Daschle wasn't involved.....

Tom had a similar bill and i will find and post it i just got to remember were its at i used to have hanging on my bulletin board at my business. why must you put words in my mouth . did i say anything about it being lost or maybe your just right i will just let sema fight the fight emissions has changed again for the auto. industry. anther 17% . if this keeps happening the auto industry will have to find ways to agree with the EPA (you know the people that have nothing to do with the way it is just who we vote for ) 37 years is along time ago , the way they run it now is different.

They can make all the laws they want,but who they gunna get for minimum wage to die trying to enforce them.....I am not just going to surrender anything..... car /property/ or freedom.....I will have the 12 guage and the 50 cal at the end of the driveway asking the age old question..................is it a good day fer ya to die ,becuase it is for me
Thats why our founding fathers said we have the right to bear arms,not to fight back the brittish from our colonies................

So, just exactly what would going out in a hail of bullets accomplish???? Willingness to die for a cause though admirable, is totally ineffective... As I have said and will keep on saying, the only thing that will accomplish change is the power of the vote!!!!!!

I had a dream, oh wait that did not work him either , oh well then lets try ,cant we all just get along?

You know what i think, all the guys in office now that hate hot rods are the guys that got beat up or there girls stollen in high school by all the hot rodders back in the day, they are paying you back. They are the guys who put the fake pipe on so it would look like they have duals.

Letters to a bureaucracy like the EPA are meaningless. The only way to change anything is to change the people who are in Washington DC and support SEMA and other such organizations who are well organized and know who to talk with about negating the changes that have a negative impact on Hot Rodding. If you don't have the right people in office, no amount of letter writing will do a bit of good...... The only thing these clowns cleverly disguised as politicians care about is their overpaid jobs. The power of the vote is the only leverage we have to effect what decisions they make!!!!!

Calm down there gasser, i was just poking fun of the situation, i was not saying anybody was right or wrong, i stay out of politics, and i usually stay out of this hot rod/ rat rod war nobody involved is gonna change there opinion anyway so dont take it personaly when im being a smarta$$, just trying to ease up the tention.

Ok, not only did they build the car in 17 hours, but it made it up here to washington?? I dont care who you are...this is impressive. Anyone who doesnt agree is just plain jealous.

Hey Bill, stick a fork in it. This thread's done!!!!

The lincoln was for body only, look closely at the front end, those weren't from a 11o. The guy on the left is Brian and on the right is Slink. I have been in the car and it is safe, it ain't their first build. Each to their own but nontheless all cars are art and a sign of personality, so if yours is high dollar so be it. We all wanna build somthin, just some have more $ than others. At least we're tryin. Could be doin worse things.. The body was not that solid, It took a lot of repair to get it there, not restorable. You want perfection and beauty buy a glass one. Point being a lot of people at a huge rat rod show in vegas wanted to see how it was done and they did it. In 17 hours. It took months of planning to prep the trip. I myself respect anything custom, new, or old, it is all a cool part of using your mind and skill. If ya wanna see more on the build slide on over to killbillet.com. Won't be much billet there but a lot of cool people who have helped a new guy like myself out a lot, and they are not all rat rodders. " A narrow mind leads to narrow paths"
Duey.
