  1. Whoop Arse? Is that a term the local boys use? kanaka style!!!
  2. I bought a Big T and a van kit at a garage sale. took them to the Rodder's swap meet, and got $30 for the Big T and $20 for the van.
  3. a while back i went out and bought a new can of Plasticote primer. Before I could use it, my brother-in-law came over and dropped it on the garage floor, breaking the spray nozzle. the lower part of the nozzle was stuck in the can so I couldn't just use a new one.I went out and got another can and and put the old one aside. Today I was priming a body when I deceided to try and get the broken part out.after trying to do it with various pliers and things, I tried a wood screw I had laying on the bench. I screwed it in the broken nozzle like an easy out.The broken piece came out slicker than heck. now I have two cans of primer.It worked for me!!
  4. This is bound to bring out some interesting stuff. I can't wait to see this!
  5. Its a 1934 Leaverite. Leave 'er right there!! Seriously, it looks like a '30's Bantam coupe. hard to tell from this angle
  6. Thanks for making me slobber all over myself!! '32 sedans are sweet and yours is right up there with the best of them!
  7. I can't wait to see this finished.I got to see the real one run at Fremont several times.Keep up the good work.
  8. The deuce is real, the background is phoney.
  9. i use a jewelers saw for chops, sectioning, and lots of other cuts. A great all around tool.
  10. it's been slow for me for about 4 months, and I have a dsl connection. Other sites are very fast. It took me about 40 seconds to access this thread.
  11. A '55 front end won't fit on a '57. the cowl area is way different. It will fit on a '56. I tried it on my '57 back in the seventies. Still, it looks cool.
  12. Jeff was an amazing guitar player.He will be missed.Rest easy, Jeff.
  13. Harry, your posts have driven me to drink! For that I am forever grateful!!
  14. wow, the paint looks gorgeous! Post more pics.
  15. That interior is pure inspiration!!
  16. I grew up in the S.F bay Area in the '50s and '60s,and was immersed in the hot rodding goings on at an early age, having three older brothers.When I moved to Idaho in '91, I was amazed at the number of hot rods running around here! And yes, we have blues,very big here.
  17. a kemp is just old slang for a custom, just as a "gow job" is slang for a hot rod.
  18. Wow, an unchopped Merc! What a concept!! This could catch on.
  19. Does insanity run in your family? Seriously, this is probably the most incredible detail job I've ever seen.Are the AN fittings scratch built or after market pieces? Well done!!
  20. Cundumdrum? Hey, kanaka style!!!
  21. when I was a kid, it was common to see a flathead powered car backing up a hill.
  22. I'd like to see a '46 to '48 Plymouth coupe and sedan and a '50 Olds coupe.
  23. I was six, in 1952. my first was a P 47 Thunderbolt .When i finished it, I took it back to show the hobby shop owner and she put it in the front window. I was hooked then and there.
  24. Love the 70's style paint job.Can't wait to see it finished.
  25. Yesterday I went to Michaels and the kits were pretty much picked over. I managed to get a 66 Nova kit on clearance for 9.00.when I got to the counter, the clerk(a real cutie!) rang it up at 5.73 including tax. She automatically gave me the coupon discount even though I didn't have one.I'm going back to pick the 74 road runner still left.
