WHAT A DOUCHE!

SO I GET WORD THAT MY HOTROD IS BACK ON CRAIGSLIST. LOW AND BEHOLD, I LOOK FOR IT A BAM, HERE IT IS, FOR SALE, AGAIN. AFTER ALL THE SHIT THAT THE GUY DID TRYING TO JEW ME DOWN ON THE PRICE AND GET EXTRAS THAT WERE NEVER INCLUDED. ALL THAT HASSLE AND HE PUTS IT RIGHT BACK UP FOR SALE.

I COULD TELL THE GUY WAS A FUCKING DOUCHE BUT HE HAD CASH, SO GET IT OUT OF HERE. HE WENT ON AND ON HOW HE'LL FINISH IT AND HAVE IT ON THE ROAD FOR THE DUCKTAIL SHOW, WHICH WAS TODAY! THE DAY I FIND OUT HE DID ZILCH TO IT AND HAS IT FOR SALE. I KNEW EITHER HE WAS FULL OF SHIT OR WOULD FINISH IT AND DO A SHIT JOB, WHICH IS WHAT I WANTED TO TELL HIM WHEN I SAW IT.

TURNS OUT, HE WAS FULL OF SHIT-

FUCKING ASSHOLE-

FRAME FLIP

I BELIEVE THIS IS SOME SORT OF DODGE, WITH THE FRAME FLIPPED UPSIDEDOWN. AXLES RIDING ON TOP OF THE LEAF SPRINGS SOUNDS KINDA SCARY BUT VERY COOL-

NICE EXHAUST POKING OUT ON A VERY ORIGINAL CAR. HARD THING TO BE THESE DAYS-

WILD LOOKING SETUP

WOW

QUITE THE DESIRED LITTLE TRUCK, AND I CAN SEE WHY. I WAS LOOKING AT A BIKE ON E-BAY FOR A FRIEND AND DID SOME WINDOW SHOPPING. SAW THIS "BARN FIND" AS IT WAS CALLED. 28/29 MODEL A TRUCK WITH SHORTENED BED AND HOPPED UP 4-BANGER. PRETTY DAMN COOL. I BET THIS THING IS A BLAST.

AND EVERYBODY WANTS IT. AT THIS POINT IT HAS 48 BIDS AND 2 DAYS TO GO-

TITS

CAN'T REMEMBER IF I POSTED THIS OR NOT, DON'T CARE, TOO COOL.

SLAMMED, CHOPPED, CHANNELED, ZOOMIES, AND A FLATTY THATS NOT GODDAMN RED-

RAD

WHAT A VIEW

IT'S BACK ON.

SO I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO TEARING DOWN THE DROPPED CEILING IN MY KITCHEN AND FOUND A NOT SO NICE SUPRISE. YADA YADA YADA, THE HOTROD PROJECT IS BACK ON CRAIGSLIST- ALL THE THINKING ABOUT IT AND TOUCHING IT ONCE A MONTH IS MAKING IT QUITE A BURDEN, AND ZERO FUN.
WHO WANTS IT? http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/cto/1526876842.html

DOUBLE CUT AWAY

AFTER A SHORT STINT ON CRAIGSLIST AND SOME CONVINCING FROM A FEW PEOPLE, I DECIDED TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON THE HOTROD. IT GOT SO FRUSTRATING AND TIME CONSUMING I DIDN'T EVEN WANNA THINK OF WORKING OR HAVING TO WORK ON IT. AFTER SOME THOUGHT AND PEER PRESSURE, I FIGURED I'VE GONE THIS FAR WITH THE PROJECT, MIGHT AS WELL KEEP GOING. (FORREST GUMP PHILOSOPHY)

THE STEERING, I THOUGHT, WAS DONE AND TURNED OUT TO BE WAY OFFSET, SO I STARTED OVER AGAIN. HAD TO REDO THE MOUNT AND ENDED UP WITH A BETTER LOOKING MOUNT. IT'S GOT THE DOUBLE CUTAWAY GOING ON NOW. IT'S LIKE A MINI TERMINATOR LANDED RIGHT INSIDE THE MOUNT.

JUST NEED TO PUT THE TOP PLATE ON AND BOLT UP THE STEERING BOX, STRAIGHT THIS TIME-

SHITTER WITH STYLE

PAT LASH ROADSTER

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE RODS. VERY INSPIRATIONAL. FROM THE EXHAUST TO THE MOTOR AND ALL THE DETAILS INBETWEEN. I TRIED TO FIND MORE PICS OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR BUT NO REAL LUCK.

BACK TO IT-

HERES THE MAKINGS OF MY STEERING BOX AND SOON TO BE MOUNTS.

STEP ONE- CUT AND PLACE

STEP TWO- TACK IT

STEP THREE- CLEAN UP TOP AND MAKE SURE ITS STARIGHT BEFORE IT'S TACKED IN PLACE.

MOUNTING IT HIGH TO HOPEFULLY ELIMINATE BUMPSTEER WITH A ROD INLINE WITH THE HAIRPINS, AND IN CASE THE FRAME EVER SCRAPES THE PITMAN ARM DOESNT HIT THE GROUND, FLY BACK, JERK THE WHEEL AND SHOOT ME OFF THE ROAD. CAR WILL BE LOW AND IF IT EVER SCRAPES I HOPE IT GLIDES ON THE FRAMERAILS LIKE SKIS, FINGERS ARE CROSSED ON THAT I SUPPOSE.
