Gregg Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Guys, I need your help here. Can every one of you please go to the YouTube video review of the Big Tub for me. I want to get as many hits to the review as possible, to bump it up in the hit list for YouTube, which will help the rankings of the video, and this site. Thanks!

Gregg Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 No, I think it only logs once per viewer. Thanks, George! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 What's the deal? Are you getting paid per hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Does that mean I'm a hit man? no, just helps with the ranking and searches. Thanks so much to Rich and Chris for doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 whatever possessed that guy to rotate the rear fenders *forward*? looks super dumb. i have never seen that on a real car and it doesnt make sense mechanically, much less look aesthetically pleasing. nice video review though.

Railfreak78 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Consider it watched and rated and subscribed. People need to hit the star area to rate it faster up the ranks. It was at 49 views and only zero ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 whatever possessed that guy to rotate the rear fenders *forward*? I think they look kinda cool like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I think they look kinda cool like that... I liked 'em too, seem to flow with the fronts better. But I can see what you mean, I wouldn't wanna be ridin BEHIND it onna rainy day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbwelda Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) just watched the video again. wish there were more walkthroughs like that actually. very nice. still those back fenders bother me though now i am beginning to see how they might appeal as they sort of backward mimic the front fenders visually. but i still think my preference would be to cant them back from where they are out of the box, and then, bob about 1/3 of them off so they wouldnt nearly drag on the ground. i should have done that on the tub i built last year but now they are readily available so i got lots of fenders!

Custom Hearse Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Great review Gregg, but I enjoyed the Puerto Rico car show much more! I especially liked the "fish truck"!!! That was hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 >I've still never gotten an answer to the one thing I've been wondering about this kit ... does it include the optional Big >Drag headers that were in the Big T? i got one the other day off ebay and when i looked in it i did not see extra headers beyond the end capped ones from like the Big T (not the big drag). it could be they (big drag headers) are in there somewhere but i didnt see them. kinda disappointed about the 3 carb set up like mentioned but thats ok, its nice to see this back on the market. even though...when i was a kid this was the least desirable of the big scale stuff. thats why it became so rare: no one really dug the phaeton vs the big drag or rod or t. so its kind of strange to see it get reissued while the big drag remains much sought after.

chopt31 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm enjoying reading all the reactions to the builds. Seems some folks are having a tough time with the rear fender location I chose for the build I did. I like the look - I don't drive it in the rain, (actually on display at a local hobby shop). I think the best idea would be for all of you to go buy a couple and build 'em the way YOU like. You might like to see what I did with my entry for our clubs' sprint car challenge. I like to build outside the 'box' and at sixty years old, I just don't get upset if someone doesn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 the defense rests. but remember i mentioned bobbing them to about 3/4 their size to raise the back off the ground a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-Archer Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 the defense rests. but remember i mentioned bobbing them to about 3/4 their size to raise the back off the ground a bit. They can go both ways. I was just looking at pictures of '30s race cars and the Alfa Romeo Monza had the rear fenders rotated forwards but I found a picture of a Bugatti with cycle fenders rotated backwards like in your picture. I guess it is a matter of preference. They both look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
