  2. Wow still here but as so many other things life gets in the way . soon as i find my digital camerai will post pics of the start and any progress i might make there are some awesome pieces going together hope my A game is good enough (more like a B minus) good work guys as usual. MIchael
  3. Have had 2 bad expierences with 2 different companies , the first was one mainly for teacher unions and they were cheapest when i started driving. fast forward a few years and my dad and i have our old cars with this place he gets a notice that his premium for a stock 350 chevelle was going up key word stock . mine was more modified than his and they had pics to show it but the listed his as perforance and my nova as not. they lost the entire family Then I had an erily bad time with a claim had a honda pull out in front of me at a low speed did more damage to her car but mine did need the bumper straightened and some filler panels fixed and painted . Two weeks of fighting took my ins broker to have it fixed in a day . the main office played it like a 74 Nova could not be nice enough to fix. same comp. i accidentally forgot to make a payment for one monthand they would not renew with a ticket two years before for a 59 in a 40 . wanted me to pay 3k a year for minimum Michael
  4. X2 Michael
  5. I really don't mind it so long as i don't have to work in it . I would like to live in a warmer climate but still a chance of this stuff so i ca annoy people by practicing drifting and have a snow blower just so they can ask me what it is ROTFLMFFAO!!!!!!! Went out last night at 10 pm to get wife at work clear oout 45 min later could hear the plow trucks scraping the roads. Michael
  6. I did not see this as i work up at the CarQuest and on here at least daily . glad those that were there had a good time . Later Michael Whoops now that i look i worked that day so i wouldnot have been able to go anyhow. ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH
  7. Ok can i just place this on the starting line please oh well Now this is the image maybe color i am going for Michael
  8. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What Rob said really nice work on the car love the looks Michael
  9. Well i checked the stash and all i can do is a 2 n 1 Nova i will use that as the base but use copo parts to make it a non SS I hope DanB is cool with me also doing a nova if there is any probs let me know OK guys pics to follow Michael
  10. Ok count me in Nick . i have no clue yet as for the car but i will know after the first of the year if that is cool with everyone Michael
  11. Yeah cutting the better halfs bonnet might tork her off the wrong way :D ouch don't throw that at me Michael p.s. i would like to finally do one but with life like it is now it will go crazier later in the year.
  12. I too dig the Elise but i sure as heck can't fit in one power to weight is awesome and they look good also . I just prefer to have a big ol' taxicab and chase those furrin cars around corners. though i would love a model of one Michael
  13. I saw the same thing in Hot rod Mag a few months ago . But in their article they showed a CHP cuda which was really cool. But with that many ideas should be fun to do a few Michael
  14. count me in with a cuda soon as i get one . even have a really nice chevy engine to put in her to make her even more sloooow. hope i can join along Michael
  15. Very nice build . love the black Michael
  16. Finding that in a yard or barn would be a dream come true. Very nice build i always love the way those of you can get the beat up look perfect. now for the diorama to go with it Michael
  17. Ok stick a fork in me i concede with a migrane i couldn't finish the monte i was real close but i feel we would have mey with bad luck so . I do really Appriciate Nick for putting on this CBP and i really must congradulate the winner Michael the next race count me in
  18. Sorrry to hear that Nick but the extra time is needed here as the paint turned blue as it dried so plus there Doing some research on the car after the guys drug it to the shop turns out the car is an uber rare motion performance tuned car few tell tale signs left like the fuel pumps and ignition system hich still works good and the elusive 3 bbl carb and valve covers , though that stuff is there it also is packing forced induction we did change out the 4:88 gears for 3:55 set so we will cruise low and fast more later Michael
  19. Man i am so screwed ........ LMAO there is still time who knew the drying properties of radar absorbing paint takes forever LOL.... Hopefully the engine and trans get her from the shop and all i need are some seats and a few electronics . hmmm maybe a day off work too Michael
  20. Back in the day i could have bought a friend's (not at the time ) 70 gran coupe cuda with a .060 383 with dana 60 and pistol grip 4-speed. for 1200.00 it had a quarter replaced on it with a fresh paint job and Keystone klassics on it .Typical 80's street machine stuff . Car overheated something crazy so it didn't sell for a year or two . Still kick myself for that one. Michael
  21. Hey ,i fell out of bed reading that one Michael
  22. Amers was down further on Market St from boardman hobby. Tom is a really great person and i have been going over there from New Castle for a few decades now . He has the best prices from the other places there and down south near Pitt. And welcome Russ. I have been to the shenango valley club's show once or twice since i work in Shron and there is one or two people who come in where i work. Lot of nice guys it seems Michael
  23. Ahhh the best thread ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! really bored at work but work auto parts for 22 yrs and you will hear some really good ones . But her is what has been asked of me and my wife at car shows, one year all sitting at the back of ours and my fathers car and this young man approaches and asked if this was the same car i had 20 yrs ago , we all looked at each other and i said yes it was., He just turned and walked away . leaving us dumbfounded. never saw him before or since . Then while my wife was sitting by the car at one cruise this guy walked up to her and asked if it was mine by name and said what a shame "this was one of the ####n fastest cars street racing in the area, now look at it a baby seat in the back seat" He walked away after she said that seat doesn't make it any slower than it was then . ( and i disavow anysort of such racing and do not condone it either ) . Later i will post what people come in asking for to fix their cars ........ Michael
  24. Hoping to get to work on the Monte soon ... AS life keeps creeping in on me i don't want to excuse myself from the cbp cuz it is too much fun. So the fancy paint the crew wanted to do isn't happening and all the rep[air work on the body too so it willbe bare bones for sure . but the builds this year have been really great . and some of the co-drivers scare me so i will bring the best driver i know ..... and get for free my wife . i know but she has a heavy right foot the temper of a red head and the attitude towards other drivers as Franco from the Gumball movie. what is behind us is no consequence. So heres to trying to get r done Michael
