Pops...Pops........Pops..............

So I'm lookin' at that second pic of the car and admiring that neat nerf bar that I don't recall seeing before, and how well it jibes with the rest of the front end treatment. Then I start to broaden my field of view and what do I see? Some chunky dudes BUTT!!!! Jeeeeeezzz........but I guess I'm glad he wasn't pulling a plumber.........





I am so pleased for Dan.......................he's earned every accolade.

and that's the nerf bar with all the late night concern the other night???

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Charlie, our next "project" is going to be "no project for while". We don't even want to see another car for a bit, but that will pass, I'm sure. Dan needs to catch up on his sleep and his life a little. Both have been consumed totally for the past 4-5 years by building a car and now he can start actually driving it and enjoying it. He IS going to build some baffles for the exhaust, it sounds like a fuel dragster now, but that will be easy to do.

Bob, Bob, Bob....... how did I know only you would catch that picture?? I was hoping you would post something about Dan winning those trophies because I was reluctant to do it so I would not come across as bragging. BUT, MAN AM I PROUD OF DAN!! He stuck to his plan and wouldn't let my many urgings to just get it done sway him from making it as good as he did. I also want to thank my Son Don, he really supported Dan though this by allowing us to steal his tools lots of times, mess up his part of the shop which he normally keeps so clean, and to pull our fat out of the fire by getting the carbs cleaned and working at the 11th hour. I've been blessed with two Sons that I love very much.

Jerry, yep, that is the front one, there is a larger one on the back that I don't have pictures of yet. When we regain some energy we will pull them off and send them to the platers and that should be the last bit that needs done.

Although Dan and I have an unspoken agreement that I stay away from his forum and he stays away from mine (I had to break that lately when I posted some updates on the HAMB because he was either working or sleeping and couldn't do it), I have asked Dan to come on here and post his thanks for the nice things everyone here has always said about his car and the help you all gave in solving some issues. He should be able to do that this week after work. My thanks go out to all of you for that also.

You guys have entered a realm where by every one will not only expect the highest level from you but expect that each project from now on will top the one's previous. It will sometimes almost be overwelming but with the snyergy that you and your sons have it will be possible.

I have lived in that sunny spot with our race cars for 40+ years and it is a challenge----

I'll bet you have, Jerry, and I think you are right. Already at the show some people asked what he was going to do to top this one next time. It also dawned on me that the rpu I am starting to build can't be quite as rough as I planned on making it, not that it will be a showcar by any means, but maybe I will spend just a little more time on things to make it a little better than I planned.

Slippery slope, huh?

Seems like I read that on another thread about a '23 T somebody was building on the cheap.

I think I read that somewhere too. Some people sure don't stick to their word, do they??

Don

I think this might be related to this thread.

Think there's a happy young lad in Florida? (yeah, and a proud papa too)

I've watched your builds with interest every since I saw Project 3k and the only time I've seen you break your word was when you said you were going to do something cheap or half-way. Not a bad record in my opinion.

I'm sure there are a lot of lurkers like me who don't say much but enjoy your threads and your rods (even the cat pictures) more than you know. Thanks for putting it in writing for all of us to enjoy.

Congratulations to you and Dan on the well deserved win at BilletProof. I'm always blown away by what you and your sons do, and I'm glad to see that even among other rodders you guys get the praise you deserve.

Mark

Great Job guys and that's one fine car.
Kurt

You know Don, it doesn't surprise me a bit that the truck won. The quality of the build can be seen even with crappy internet pictures that distort colors so that pink and purple look the same and Bob's goddesses don't really look like the goddesses he thinks they are.

Okay, one more time! Just like I acquired that picture of Pops and Son above from one of my sources, the "lovely" ladies of Pops I post are HIS that I merely came into possession of.

Thank you, Kurt and Rick. Rick, (me saying this VERY quietly) we don't talk in front of Bob about the girls he posts........poor guy just has such bad eyesight.


Bob, oh sure, Buddy, those were great looking girls you put up, thanks for doing that. I think you have posted enough of them for a while, so no need to do it any more.

(God, I hope he takes the hint! )
