Like every thing else you do Bill, it's a work of art!,It is beautiful! I don't even know if the original is still there,but THIS one will always be"home".

Oh, yes, I can see a 427 FE 4spd. Comet 202 right now!!!

SAm, I was thinkin the same thing.I think we (i) scared im off by goin spaz on here about the G.M. thing.Sorry, My Bad!!!! I still wanna know WHAT yer lil cruizer is,cause it am BAD!!! :DCOME BACK NICK!!!!

why does it NOT strike me as odd that the ######'n is usein somethin called homo? The reason(i think) that Bill is hittin on all cylinders is because if'n you seen ONE ghetto alley gayroge,you seen em all!!!But to be honest ######'n he really IS my big Brudder what ran away from home when he was a wee yout! He din't wanna grow up inna house wit 4 screwy sisters, like he lefted me to do!!!!

OOOHHHH YYYEEEAAAHHHHH, THAT IS YOU BILL! you got that rascal DOWN! the color is right on the money!I remember paintin that rascal with paint that we bought at the Sherwin Williams close out store.The wood was so old that it just sucked up the paint.I think it actually took 5 or 6 gallons!!

Kev, I really do like Bob's callin it a "Cadaverllac", mebbe you could get someone to kinda script that on the rear door an quarter panels,It would make people take second an third looks!!

Kev, as nutty as you are, your gonna have a BLAST in that car!!!!

Well,######'n It lookin pretty true to the original pic, But it really should have that addition to be perfect! Why cantcha just make yer doors bigger so's you can rollthe display from room to room?Or better yet jus build you an addition so's you can have a room jus fer yer models? that way you can have a place to sleep after "Honey Doo" throws ya outa the house fer tearin up all the doorways!Just a suggestion, cas I don't wanna see ya sleepin outside.Unless you LIKE campin out!

Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread, I just get so...... Ok can we try to figger out what the last UDO was?

Greg, the real reason G.m. won't bring back production of ANY vehicles is,1 they can't get AMERICANS to do the a$$ bustin jobs that building a car entails for LESS than minimum wage,2 they don't have the same environmental safety laws down there as we do.Did you know the down there G.M. can discharge poluted and TOXIC waste water from thier paint shops out onto OPEN LAND? no need for cleaning the waste because MEXICAN LAWS DON"T REQUIRE IT!!!! They can pretty much do as they please and get awaywith it, mean while those poor people are EATING food grown in TOXIC soil!I HAVE SEEN IT!!They wont change till the laws do, then they'll threaten to leave an take their jobs with them unless they get exemptions! That's why they're in the sh8ts, cause they forgot what built the corperation,it's employees!!!Sorry about the rant, but I always get kinda upset when I see what management is allowed to get away with while the employees suffer,and the general public does too!

Harold, "Pearls " is one of my favorite cartoons too! Steven Pastis must be a real nut to come up with the stuff he does. Did you catch this Sundays Free Press comics?A real "pearl"!

Zeb my man, I do believe they was up to no good BEFORE NAFTA was settled! I mean they did pay me well and provided a good living for me and my family,But I never trusted them to be honest with us.I did have the pleasure of meeting Pete Estes once in a walk thru of the old Fleetwood Plant,I actually got to speak with him for a few minutes, and he seemed to be a VERY reachable man. came thru the plant with about 4 other shirts and the plant manager, very low key,and VERY amiable,he actually stopped to talk with us, and at least ACTED like he was interested in what we had to say and was very supportive of the employees, the last "car" guy to run G.M. Years later, when the bastard roger smith came thru Det/Hamtramk,HE had to come thru with an entourage off about 20 men who were his personal guard staff! What a change.Tommy LaSorda,who now is a Chrysler president, USED to be my plant manager!Goes to show NONE of these guys after Pete Estes have ANY loyalty except tp themselves!Whoever pays the most gets their turncoat services!they don't care about the employees, the customer,or the product! only their own greedy a$$es!THATS why G.M. is so FU@#ed up now, theyre all accountants running it and no one in charge of it has ANY inkling of what it takes to BUILD a car!!!

Bob,it's just amazing what some guys can do in 24 hrs! While watchin a race no less! All you guys's builds came out lookin great!But I hope this don't mean you guy's'll quit till NEXT year! GREAT JOBS fellas, keep it up!

######'n, looks like your startin on the main building first. you still gonna add the smaller garage later? iz looookin goood so far! how much is da gas, and is it a FULL service Gay roge like mine?Is you gonna be CHARGEIN fer are?

Enjoy Vegas Harry,you certainly do deserve a holiday(talkin to Stump is rubbin off!)C-ya next week, an good luck on the slots/tables! Hope we don't see ya in a special apperance on "COPS"!

The heck with the Green Hornet!, I wouldn't mind toolin around in THAT bad rascal!!!!

An alley gayroge wid a sign on it in DEEEtroit? Is you lost yer mind?(oh, never mind I already know)That would be like a 16 yr ol girl sayin "I wanna be kissed for the 1st time!" to the inmates at Jackson prison! you'd be lucky if she lasted 1 min.!No, no sign. just some cars parked in the ol Farmer Jack supermarket lot(it was across the alley).Thats were the guys would park when we was hangin out.######, this is gonna be FUN!!!!

Sam, We used to do the finish build on the Cadillac Allante at my plant(Det/Hamtramk) And other than the price, I couldn't see nuthin that was luxury about em. They were built in Italy by Pinninfarina and they were JUNK! I personally used to bitch at the supervisores that we practically had to re-build em cas the dago's dint give a sh8t about fit an finish! After all, we were the competition!.Cadillac would have been light years ahead if they had been built inhouse,THEN they would have been built with CADILLAC PRIDE!!!!!

WhachutalkinboutCrap'n! this heres a FULL service alley gayroge.We'll PUT arevalves in em suckers!An NO, no pink cars less they's payin wit GREEN money!Cepn Gramps, HE can bring as many pink cars as he wants, after all he's still holdin the LEASE!!!But, he's gotta drop em off AFTER dark,And give the code knock so's we can get em in fore anyone see's em!

Tol' Ya!

Wow!, G.M.sure got their money's worth out the C-1 chassis din't they? But I gotta admit, I sure do like that Olds roadster! I've NEVER seen it, but it sure is neat lookin!

Wow Sam, that IS sharp.This is a redundant question, but what is it? I know,I know.....

Yep it was about 60,and they have NEVER changed any of the kit since then.The panel van is almost as old, I think it was released around 64/65.Check with Grampsxrds I'm CERTAIN he would know!

No doubt John,It IS lookin sharp.I really like the color.It fits that body style, nice an subtle, but different.I like it! Keep up the good work!

Jeff, fer bein haff finished it sure LOOKS good.If ya do hafta put it up fera wile, thanks for takin us along wile you got this far.It was neet to seeit bein born, let us know when ya bring er back out!
