BosoMKII's project! 56k cut your head off

[supra90turbo]

No problem Matt. The "hot rod" scene in general for the most part turns my stomach... "yeah man, those ghost flames and chrome EVERYTHING really set off your t-bucket. Not to mention the ex-top-fuel 700ci engine. that thing is amazing. how much power is it making? 1500hp? and you drive it every sunday? wow, man. awesome. my hat's off to you."

What pisses me off more than anything is those guys can have 36" of engine protruding directly out of the hood, and clearly over the roof, annihilating any chance of forward vision. They can have dual 4" sidepipes making my ears bleed, but I can't have a 3" catback.

Take that animosity, and multiply it by whatever you'd like to see how much I hate Harleys.

Yeah I guess its "JDM" but that is not what it is about for me at all. I like the look, I think its rad. If American street rods where doing it and not the super lame chromed everything and idiot flame paint jobs and stuff I would like those cars better!

Anyway. I hope to be able to start the car on Monday night! Or at least make an attempt.

I think the car is cool with or without oil lines sticking out of the grill. I must have been having a bad night. :biglaugh:

Werd Supra90 thanks.

Thats the plan T-Roy! You gonna be around?

i get off work at 6... the same time as matt(the guy your getting the motor from).so yea

 

[BosoMKII]

supra90: I feel the same way. There are lots of old domestic cars that I do like, and rad rod style is hot. But the show car stuff is just so far from what I consider tasteful. Its American rice, they just polish chrome and don't drive.

And Hardly Ablesons? The permanent loosing. They are the shrine of wanna-be bad boy douchebaggery. Overpriced, under engineered, noisy for no reason other than to make noise.

And yes, by my own definition my own car is rice! The irony has not escaped me. But hey, at least I am doing it all myself and will be driving the car.

BigAaron: Its cool man, don't even worry. Thanks for the compliments on the car, even if big external oil coolers are not your thing!


See you tomorrow Troy

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Call me up matt. I wanna be there. That guage cluster is needed =P

 

[BosoMKII]

Its all yours mang. Expect my call

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

If you come up early we can hang around my place if you want. I live literally 10 minuites away

 

[T-Roy]

well,me and matt get off today @ 4!:drink1:

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Pssst. come at 3:30 matt=P

 

[T-Roy]

matt are you going to roll your fenders?

 

[BosoMKII]

Yeah. Gotta slam the car. Gonna have to roll.

 

[T-Roy]

yes!!!!!!!what are you gunna use to roll them?

 

[BosoMKII]

Heat gun and a hammer probably. Unles you know some one with a roller. I know there are a few fender rollers in Nor Cal, but I think they only rent. Going to have to see if I can find one for a reasonable price

 

[T-Roy]

i really wan to invest in a roller and then charge people like fifty bucks to do it.:naughty:

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Today im gonna hammer the little thingys in my fenders...... I havnt decided if I wanna roll em yet.

 

[BosoMKII]

No need to roll if they are not bothering anything. Take your time with that, and use a heat gun!!!

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

I need a heat gun then... I was just gonna BFH it =P

 

[supra90turbo]

Definitely use a heat gun. I rolled the fenders on my subaru without using one and the paint chipped like a mofo. Giant flakes came off.. not good.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

No there is this crease in the wheel wells in the fender that my tires rub against in a hard turn. I need to flatten em... Ill have to ask around for a heat gun!
