skwirlylikemthechromecap-vi.jpg

Been using up parts outa the big box of 1/8 Big Duece I got from Deetroit.

Dat main housing fer the starter is from the Big Duece rear axle. Gonna plant

some power cable in that 'hole' on top back to a receptickle so's when he's all

juiced up we'll just plug him in and start crankin' :wub: 'til he starts or blows up.

skwirlypangettingtherre-vi.jpg

Don't know why, but got the oily pan all shipshaped, and added some built up

glue drops to stimulate blot heads around the flange, and added the start of

him oil plugem up tube which gets trimmed down closer to the pan & mebbe I'll

put a plug in it..........& mebbe not :D It's all gonna be coverd up with his

skid plate anyhowso........ <_<

If you guys REALLY knew what a sick mind is behind all this, you might think different! The Cap'n GROWS HIS OWN MUSHROOMS!!! They're the new designer type, the kind that REALLY Funk you ALL up, but don't show. How you think he comes up with this stuff! Surely(and No,Cap'n, I'm NOT calling you Shirley,Although it IS a nice name!)the sign of a SICK mind! When we speak to each other on the phone, you'd NEVER know the mans NOT playin with a full deck, but when I see this stuff, and he talks about TALKIN TO skwerrly, I just know "Da boy ain't right" But don't nobody go an say nuttin, caz I wanna see how this all turns out!So far, so good. A mind is a TERRIBLE thing to waste!!!(Cap'n, got any a them shrooms left? I'm all out) :lol:;):D:D;) (He grows da BEST!) :lol:
