CB Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 been spending a little more time workin on my Chevy. Finally got the body sittin comfy on the frame and got the radiator in. Had to use heat and extreme force to get the frame down where I wanted it, but 'twere worth it--I'm likin the stance, or the 'droop' maybe? Good thing I aint drivin it, coz it aint purty under there, but tha's what the rats about aint it? Had to get me some new glasses, I don't remember these models being this small 40 years ago . Aint sure if'n I'm gonna paste 'Smokin' Sam' on the door yet. Do wanna make my own decals ...........hmmmm, maybe I'll get me a chickin & use one of it's feathers to paint 'Sam' on? shouldn't be a problem with my new glasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 ######'n you simple fool those aren't glasses, those are binoculars, and the reason things look so far away is, you gotem on backwards. Yeesh, no wonder it's takin you so long. I like what you're doin to the rims. Never thought of that. By the way where did you get those things. That's exactly what I need, cause my arms are too short or my eyes are too close. It's one of them things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdrodder Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 that not even a bonicular. its a telescope. Just kidding. I realy like the style you are going with yours. You are runin the six right? I realy love the stance. Check out my gasser on here. Threads called 51 fleetline gasser. I will post an update later on mine so you can see the other stuff on mine. Realy like yours though.

CB Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 'they' be the lense off my big camera that I pasted on my face via this here computraption. I thought it'd be nice if'n I could find some doc to surgically implant them lenses--telescopic--right into my face. Got the idea while shooting the pic of me cleaning out the rims with me knife. It's my big Pentax SLR which means I can look thru the viewfinder and 'see' things really up close---'######'n in Macro mode' . and yeah, it do take a lot longer to do things thataway.....and lotsa bandaids, too !! Must be sumpin' bout these here 51's.........everbody what 'works' on one seems to take a long time--(mebbe you oughta get on Florian, Gramps, to get his goin' too !) Yep, I've been checkin' yer thread lookin' for ups on your gasser, Florian, likin' the stance on yours. Hope it's comin' along. As much as I enjoy lookin' at Gramps' fully plumbed, wired, & crammed in there, engine compartments , I seem to have this here philosophy (excuse ) that if da hood be part of the car, then whatta ya need a engine for?? If'n I ever get around to my other builds--'29, '32, '34, (Good Lord! I'll probly be 75 by then!) with the engine exposed (oh yeah, I are a prevert, too ) then I'll run the hoses, wires, fuel lines, etc. So this rat is just a curb-rat. Mebbe I'll do up the six outa it and stick it in one of my future rods. Did a buncha research the other day and finally found pics of a 51 with the front trim off and the mounty holes showin', so next step is to drill them mounty holes thru the molded on trim then sand the trim off. Hope to have pix of that--and some paint--finally--in a few months---I mean--days!! Later guys, ######'n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 OK ######'n I'll cut you some slack, (for a while) At least if you're workin on the 51, you're not pickin on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
