At his age Lenie?!

Wow, that's harsh.


:lol:

Hi Skip, just like having fun with Greg sometimes. He's actually got some mad skills I've had the opportunity to see in person but I'm not going to let that stop me.:lol:

Butthead.....

Any updates on this GW?

Yeah Jeff --- I think he ordered or found some fiberglass rear fenders for it...


LOL


I've been to concentrated on my health - and dealing with holidays and medical stuff -- and dragging xmas trees out of the f'ing woods etc to think about the '40.


Pinkee's is moving forward on it (I think). LOL

Smart as always, GW.

I would be looking for every distraction in the world...:bitchslap:


Jeff-

I actually thought of you and the '40 when I was polishing an old KOWA TRUNK I have, thought it might look neato in the bed.

#whenitsdone

:action-smiley-027:

I've found it much easier to drag (or even simply carry) my wife's x-mas tree through the Home Depot parking lot. If it's the right size, I can then throw it kind of like a big, furry dart into my 8-foot pickup bed.:relax:

Maybe next Christmas I'll drag the tree home in the '40 !!


Got me some rear wheel covers. We've been searching for steel - but in the interest of actually getting the car DONE.... I finally said -- just grab some new glass fenders and get 'em hung and let's move forward.

I want this DONE for next Good Guys Hall of Fame Tour 2017 !!

Nicely coming along.
The tour in sept?
Next project is a truck, I fell in Like with that beige '37 ford on the last tour, pretty sure it'll be a Dublin Glass truck this time:thumbsup:

That's going to be a lot of fun. Super cool ride!

It's going to be sweet in steel or glass. Very Nice Greg.

That picture is Christmas card worthy!!!! Looking great as usual ... see you soon!

You need a vintage trailer/camper to tow on the tour!

All decked out in tye dye and shag and blasting some Widespread Panic...:lol:

Very cool. Those fenders make the bed look just right.

GW,

Heard Charlie has some gennie fenders for it.

His price to you...

:G-Dub:


lol

I tried to buy it.... but they were a bit "proud" of it with an asking price of near $300K.... LOL

Yeah, way steep. Probably because of the matching plastic bins in the bed.

I couldn't find out who's suspension was in it.

Is your Pinkies build Roadster shop or AM or other?

Try to keep up Mike.......



Roadster Shop chassis -- Pinkee's build -- Weld owned -- LS3 powered



Doesn't get any better than that!

Tough to keep up with you on that #HomeBrew.


:D

Well......I don't know about that.........Could be LSA powered......LOL

FACT!!!!

You guys know I have a hard time keeping up. I'm slow 😏

Hah? What? where!

This things not done yet??

It's aged him a lot though.


:P

Couldn't find a decent set of 40 pickup rear fenders --- I don't want to waste time and money buying old beat up crap and then even more money making 'em pretty.





http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...228_111750.jpg






And just sayin'...... I may be FINISHED with the THIRD custom hot rod before some people I know around here have gotten started on some of their crap.

Yea, what he said.:mock:

I want a ride in it when it's done.

Pretty please and no sugar

I swear that guy looks like my Dad Skipper!!

Greg,

I believe it!

Got some photos of the Steve Moal gas "cap" installed today ----- work continues.....

I like it!

I'm surprised you would go so flashy...:cool:

Nice!

It has to have a little "touch of hot rod" going for it.


Charley and I were just texting -- this will be my last hot rod ever. My plan is for it to be a daily driver -- so nothing too fancy --- but if it's real functional AND a bit hot roddy -- I'm in.

I now have NO TOOLS -- NO SHOP -- NO DESIRE to build or work on this stuff anymore..... And at my age and precarious future -- I'm not going to begin to aquire all the things I've lost. You just can't duplicate things that took a lifetime to gather. Just buying stuff - isn't the same. It was the "environment" and the network of friends....the environment is gone. I still have the friends. That's more important.

I've also found that I can put some guns in the truck - hit the range and what was going to be an hour or two - ends up being all day.... again -- friends are there and we spot for each other or work on the scopes or what have you. I've gotten in to shooting competitively which is fun and you meet fellow idiots....and I love plugging long range precision.... that and my track cars... call it good.

Time for a signature update! :D

I know what you mean, though, on a much smaller scale. I've made a lot of friends through the car hobby even though I no longer / currently own anything worth considering cool. The people are definitely the most important part.

Can't wait to see more updates!

Well said Greg.

Fixed it! Thanks for the reminder. I'm old... and barely functional. LOL


I will say -- it took me awhile to get over the complete and utter destruction of the greatest part of my life for the last 50 years.... I'm 63 and began working at Gateway Body and Fender when I was 13 (for $1 an hour sweeping floors on Saturday).

I still have ONE of the Craftsman tool boxes I bought with that money. The bottom 3 drawer roller that was being used for TIG parts is now long gone with the sale of my "shed" and all it contained.

The ONLY thing that makes me cry (happened again last week) is when someone asks me about "what did I do with my shop". It contained "my life". The memories and the friends made are all that remain. Time for Stage V of life.
