Thread: 17 hour build

Tweet

Credit for what??? Hurrying through a project, hacking up a decent body? Sorry, I just don't see it. Too many of us put our heart and soul, lots of money and countless hours into our projects. Too have something like this on the road is an insult too all of us who take pride in our craft and pride in our fabricating abilities. This is nothing more or less then a slap in the face too what hot rodding is....

The car has no symmetry, style, or central theme. The only thing even close to acceptable is the tires and wheels. I don't see any planning to it. To make sure you have all the parts you need and throw it together does not deserve praise...

I refuse to pass out any kind of atta-boys to anyone who insults a way of life I have dedicated more then 40 years of my life too... The car mocks most Hot Rods that a lot of us have planned and slaved over to build. There is no glass at all in the car. The firewall has holes hacked in it to make the pedals fit, the mounting of the alternator looks like an afterthought, the front spring mount is a piece of channel iron, it doesn't appear that any of the front suspension pieces were taken apart and checked, let alone refurbished, the plug wires are hanging all over the place and will more then likely land on the exhaust, and a host of other things...

Sorry, this car only makes me mad.....

I see your point and do not disagree,I am just saying they could have been up to alot worse ,better doing that than stealing parts off my car {they look like ruff fellas}
I look at it this way,some goto nascar and sit in the parking lot and drink beer and have fun.Thats one crowd{good people I have been there with em}Then theres the ones who get the 5 thousand dollar air conditioned box seats and have fun{never been there},but both have fun and both are race car fans.
Kinda like hotrods,some build riddler winners and some build demo derby cars,both love cars and both have fun.People see which catagory others fall into and this car is at the opposite side of the spectrum from your nice customs Dave.
But ,thats like the guy in the 5 thousand dollar nascar box saying the people in the parking lot are not to be acknoledged as race fans.......
