I see me and Charlie agree on this on. :yes:

Mike

Well then ...That makes two of you that are wrong in one day. I am right, so there. :D

I have to say this (type this) If not for the Mule, I would not be cutting a nice vert up to make a twin turbo nightmare with no top and 35K in parts waiting in my garage to be welded and bolted on. I have always been a purist, love em the way the General made em kid of a guy. But the Mule, well, It made me appreciate the wicked new age computer cars and made me want one too. Can I get a witness? Seeing what Jody has done, Steve, Scott, Stu, and many others here on their rides makes it a sort of competetion and a good one at that.

Last Thing, how many guys here have a car that is Identified by two words and known by most car guys in the USA?


The Mule. Baddest 69 in the USA. At least for this Fat Ass White Boy.

Wow...thanks

Bad is good, but cool is cool too! :yes:

"BIG RED" originally did it for me. Then the "Red Witch" came along. I had this nice restored 68 Camaro, and after reading the Red Witch article in '96, it was no longer good enough. Tore it apart and here I am. Charlie just has all the cool cars doesn't he? :hail: :hail:

Mike

A couple more crappy pics of the underside of the hood. I'm told it is very stiff.

That's really cool. Damn I love that car.

He he he..... You said stiff... :yes:

Shut up Beavis

bugger.... loco-moko!
 

jackasS! he- he, Hey Charley,hood looks awesome, any ETA on its return? Gonna start funishing the house soon...lunch at the usual burger joint??? :unibrow:

Yes, yes it is. :_paranoid

I would think cutting the louvers would help stiffen it up as well. I know by taking a 1/8th inch piece of aluminum and punching holes and flaring those holes (like on Stuarts car between the rad support and header panel) makes it very stiff.

Must have some farm boys here...Using "Stiff" amd "Mule" in the same sentence... :_paranoid

:cool:

Great looking hood. :thumbsup:

Mark Stielow was taking it back to Wheel to Wheel today. Gonna stay back there until after Power Tour. I'm up for another meet at the burger joint!

Jody

Burger joint? Hmm.... All I remember was a really good turkey sandwich. Oh well. I better start paying better attention then. :rolleyes:

Is Mark Stielow livin my dream life or what?

Here he goes and sells arguably the greatest street machine ever built, yet he still gets to play with it every once in a while even though the cars new owner lives on the other side of the country. The man is livin my dream life...I'm tellin ya!

I've seen that hood in person. The underside looks like it's been modified, like some support was added to the hood to stiffen it. I could be wrong. It is definitely sweet...nice construction. I never get tired of seeing that car...I love the custom rad support and the hood latches. Like I said...it's missing a kitchen sink and then it's done. :P
