Suicidal tendencies, institutionalized

Does walmart offer the red oxide primer. Im not sure if they do or dont, or if mine is just out

HA, that last is funny.

Its blueish green, i paint mine alpine green. Its close but not perfect. Heres a pic of 1 im tinkerin with now

Finally, someone who gets the joke

Fact of the matter, the pic posted is makin fun of the very thing, they are eating on a wing, that has no practical purpose. My very 1st comment was intended to be a joke, just as the pic is. But then people felt the need to get on the defense. I will and probably will forever think they look goofy. If the rice burners want to spend their money on that, i dont care, couldnt care less. Its a genre of hot rodding, whether us V8 gear heads like it or not. I will continue to have my opinion of the "sport compact" scene, and build my V8s.

I understand aero just fine. In my opinion, on front wheel drive street cars, or any street car, the wing is useless, and looks funny. If the guys that do it dont like my opinion on it, to bad. I really need to keep my opinion to myself. Since apparently, the wing is a prized item to own, makes people feel they need to protect it, guard it against the big bad monster.

Locked out in..3...2...1

Hey hey, early 70s too. You rice rocket guys sure are sensitive. You should treat yourselves to some premium rice in your go go juice.

This will be a 1 bad truck. This will look really good im sure.

I never said a word about wings on rear wheel drive. That spoiler on the trunk is useless on a front wheel drive car. I see this thread gettin locked soon

Oh, ok. I had no idea since i knew it wasnt for down force or traction. Now that makes sense!

And this 1? Starts "Bye baby bye bye"

Anybody? The bands named after him, Tracii

I havent seen a post for this yet. So heres its own thread.

The Beach Boys are cemented in the rodding world. Their music is the culture, at least out here in sunny so cal. I vote duece.

Ok, i couldnt remember. Its a pretty old can. Guess itll have plenty of time to cure now, a week. Itll be that long before i can get enamel clear and enamel gloss black.

Nice build Rob. You mentioned a spread axle build, did you ever do it.

I dont remember, the label is gone. Im pretty sure its lacquer. I rarely buy enamels.

Hot roddin with your buddys. I wish i were alive during the early days of hot roddin.

Thats how the term "shaclked up" was coined

Ive never done it before, but heres my ?. How would i go about body droppin this kit, i want the motor sittin higher, the bug catcher closer to the roof line. Any tips and help would be appreciated.

I just sprayed testors rattle can on a cab. How long should i wait before laying masking tape on it to mask off the stripes. I know "cured", but its an older can, Boyds chezoom teal. A few days? A week or 2? Or is it just a guessing game?

Very cool

Lookin good, that red frame with the black and white body looks really good.
