Greg, Greg, Greg...you are absolutely killing me man. I can already see it's going to be a beaut! Good car to keep at your winter home to drive.. by the way, are you going to leave the fenders off?????:rofl:

You have got to be flippin kiddin me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lolhit:

Even the great Weldmaster got wamboozled. :lol:

:wow:

One man's opinion...that's the prettiest/coolest image on this site.

Congrats on the build> Is that an alum body (looks like it in the pic)? I just realized you don't own a PT car, or does the Mustang have cup holders??:unibrow:

I'll be there all day- thanks man!

LOL, that was good.

Looks good Greg. What chassis is going under it?

Lets build some one off wheels for you Sir

Oh that's pretty liberal!!! More like 10% build 95% smack talking, and Greg's multiple quotes :D

Last night @ 9:34pm, I had post# 6, I signed on this morning only find this thread had ballooned by an additional 41 posts covering 5 pages!!! LMAO :lol: :willy: :lol: :willy: :rofl:

Greg's threads are like a bunch of guys hanging around the beer fridge in the garage......lots of bench racing and one-upmanship :cheers:

5".....dropped axle. The common drop on an I beam or tube axle is 4". A few years back Magnum came up with their 5" dropped axle to get an extra inch of cool. When you see enough axles the 5" really stands out but the dead give away is the lower shock mount/bung welded on.

If the pin drive knock offs are like Tom Gloys and you put skinny tires on it.......:thumbsup:

I'm guessing Gwen would approve.

Yeah -- I'm thinking 40 Ford fenders? What do you think? If I do the body black gloss and the fenders in flat gold leaf... it might make the car look.... Smaller? I dunno.






Oh yeah.... so that's one each right?







Glad you like her Skeep! She'll get a rolled and louvered tail pan







All steel -- American Speed '33. I love the way the drop top disappears.

Charley made me a deal - when I can run an entire weekend without spinning he'll have the Briz make me a custom console for the Mutt.






The chassis is all custom Brizio. He has the side rails done the way he wants them for the stance of the car etc... then they jig 'em up and finish 'em.





I appreciate it Jay -- not sure who cuts the wheels but that choice has already been made.






That's EXACTLY the way I think about this site... a bunch of guys hangin' in the shed all jumping each others shizz. Friendly honest banter. No flames. Just good fun. Glad you enjoy it as much as I do.




Ah ha! When you said 5" axle -- I was thinking at the back of the car and couldn't for the life of me figure what that was! Yes 5" drop.

The car is Traditional WITH attitude. We'll see if we can pull it off.


You hit the pin drive right on the head. Just not doing the inside brake covers. Skinny bigs and littles... and a Tribute to an absolutely perfect wheel.

If you take Rodders Journal -- the front cover this issue has the paint nailed. 1940 Ford Washington blue - or PPG Barcelona Blue. We'll paint out a test and see.

:lol: 105% build thread. Reserved for nothing but The Best!

I didn't get included in Greg's new multi-quote exercise...........now I know I'm in trouble.
Don't send your new guard dog out on recon please. :_paranoid

Bitchen choice of car Greg!:thumbsup:

I can't believe in less than 24hrs. this thread is on page 6 and it's not even a Pro-Touring car.:wow: Is that even allowed on this forum?

O' wait it's GREG WELD:hail: My bad:woot:

Exactly!! That's how it is when your name is Greg "mother effing" Weld!! :rofl: :rofl: But really Greg, even though this car is in the early stages, I can tell it is gonna be really beautiful. Keep the pics coming.

Bahaha!

Greg, all kidding aside I love your last two choices the 32/33. If it were me I'd go somewhere on the silver chart for the exterior and red, charcoal or black interior in that order. Good luck.

Come on man?! Maybe at least a cam so it sounds like a real hot rod?

:rofl:

Greg......Great Project.......Donnies 32 is very close to what you are doing......Perfect Street Rod.....Old School....New School......and High Tech......The perfect package

Ken

One of my all time favorite styles. I still dream about building a roadster of this vintage....

I like the subtlety of this whole driver hotrod buzz thing ya got goin'; low key exterior color, not much shiny stuff, plastic intake.

Cuz the rule of thumb is never to draw attention away from the rig that hauls you away from where you're stranded on the side of the road.

It's low and has an LS motor. Doesn't that automatically get you in the club.:rofl: :rofl:

Okay okay -- happy now? WTF - I have to remote tune your car AND quote you in my posts too.... Oh.... wait.... hang on a minute == I heard the dog sneak out the door and the ammo is missing....


Let me know if he shows up at your place will ya?






You don't post enough Mark -- so I have to hold up your average. I'm getting weak -- I'm old... WTF!






Thanks Marcus!







Good thing I don't take advice well.... The last Silver car I owned was in 1972... they just don't SHINE... I don't want any metallic either... and I've had a woody for a buddies car that is the PPG Barcelona Blue with Red leather... and I'm not ashamed to flat out copy him! What are friends for anyway, right?




Dude! I stepped up to the 480 hp version... did I really need to do the 525 just for a bit more choppy lope? I'm OLD --- I'm gray -- I'm weak -- I can barely handle 300 hp and a 3:08 rear end...






Thanks Ken! I love the LS motors -- except they're like the ugly chick at school... They might have other attributes but I still don't want to look at her.
I want leak free perfection and the LS has that in spades... plus it's a bit lighter -- and they just run. Leave the hood closed and nobody will know the ugly chick is in there.







Where the hell do you find this stuff?? Was it parked in the garage under that pile of boxes next to my other "Nomad"??:lol:

You realize this multi-quote binge you're on is going to kill your post count right?

I gotta tell ya, this multi quote sh_t suits you.:D Hey, is that a dog at my front door? He better be packing tools!:thumbsup:

"You don't post enough Mark -- so I have to hold up your average. I'm getting weak -- I'm old... WTF!"


I don't post enough:question: .... How can I post when you have the server jammed.

Sent you an email. Dude! Do you really have to go thru your wife to get your email? Can't you get your own email box?? What if I want to send you porno and stuff?? :faint: :rofl:





My computer has artificial intelligence and is set to auto respond to any and all threads on Lat G. Now that I set it up to use the multi-quote system -- the server should reset and free up some RAM space for your semi annual log in.


I might come up to the shop on Saturday after doing GNRS on Friday... will you be around? Do you have anything worth showing me? Will you also buy me lunch and a tank of gas? Can I bring friends? Will you also arrange for T. Nelson to dyno some 5000hp all aluminum small block quad turbo motor while we're there? :wow:

What's this please show this to Lenie sh-t!!!:rofl: You had my wife rolling:lol:

Well -- now that you're all grow'd up and have your very own email addy -- I can send stuff straight to you! This is just so kool! :thumbsup: :bow:
