PonchoPete,
I agree totally with #1, you would really be suprised that the 10K usually only covers the fenders! I also agree with #2, but as they say, "to each is own". I guess that everybody has their own idea of whats cool. Number #3, You hit the nail on the head!!! That's my kind of Street Rod! I love Nostalgia. And creating cars that have the look and equipment of the 40's, 50's, and 60's are definitely my bag. I will also add that I would NOT own a Street Rod that I would be afraid to drive! I see no fun in waxing and polishing a trailered car just to put it back on the trailer when it's time to go home. [ June 01, 2002, 10:11 PM: Message edited by: Black 65 GTO ]

Nick V,
I can't believe I left out the early Cadillac V-8's for acceptable engines on #3! I shall hang my head in shame now. I also forgot to mention that multiple carburetion is pretty much a have to have kind of deal also. I'm slipping.

If you spent as much time working on your car as you do busting everyones chops, you'd be in the NINES. Believe me, I have no intentions of trying to change your thinking. And honestly, I don't care what you like or think. It does not bother me one bit that you and I don't share the same likes. Really! But, your lack of tact and cantankerous behavior is certainly not contributing in a positive manner to this board. What ever makes you so damn beligerent towards simple everyday interaction with people(members on this board, for example), you ought to get a handle on it. You will be better off personally if you do. You will probably also meet friends that you never thought you would. Life is too short to be confrontational with everyone you disagree with. Good Luck! Regards, Trevor Long

Trevor, the best part is, I work on my car AND contribute. As far as doing "more", how's this: tubular control arms, coil over front shocks, fuel cell, re-do fuel system, rewire and install electric pump, add and rewire EFI system, new custom headers, new electric fans, rear disc brakes, and touching up the paint job. All that completed, or almost completed this winter/spring. I ask you, isn't that enough?!?!?!?
Besides, every BB needs a little personality. Think of how boring it would be with no controversy. Hell, I even got your blood pressure up a few points. |

playfully controversy is fine,but flat out insulting people is another. as long as noone takes it personally,mere words will not harm you,unless you let it. behind this keyboard,anyone can have the courage of a lion.

Although quirky and out of style today, I really dig those 50's chic street-rods. A Desoto Hemi with 6 Stromberg's on top? GOOSEBUMPS!
Oh and BTW, I think you guys should get a room.

Take it easy Mr. Goatman, You need to relax a little. Were having some fun at your expense.
Personally I don't give a rat's ass if you like rods or not. I just happen to appreciate all kinds of fine machinery, some more than other. Though I'm partial to the muscle era of cars. I can appreciate all of them for what they are. Here's something that maybe will calm your nerves down a little. [img]smile.gif[/img] [ June 02, 2002, 11:52 AM: Message edited by: Nickv ]

It just happens to be in the car it was originally installed in - one of 626 Cadillac Series 75 Limousines built in 1949... http://community.webshots.com/album/15849580xmGcRmPeoB And it ain't coming out to make a fOrDiLLac... But I do like streetrods... |

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Rashionality:
That would be "In the 7's" Trevor.[/QB] LMAO, you guys crack me up. Remember this, its not just about the end destination, its about the journey too. As for opening my mind, I have driven, worked on, and looked at several of those things. Unless its got 4 wheel IRS and a good braking system, all of the attributes I mentioned previously hold true. They are dangerous, and ride like sh*t. While shiney things may amuse some members, I like some substance along with the shine. [ June 02, 2002, 01:42 PM: Message edited by: Goatman ] |

<<Why do I have the sinking suspicion that a Eagle stroker crank was in there?>>
You don't really think Bruce Fulper would use an Eagle crank? <<Also, I have a hard time with the statements: "all runs were made on 87 octane" and "only 150 shot, and still on 87 octane!">> Supposedly only about 9.5 to 1. with aluminum heads that might work. <<How can you have a motor that powerfull, that size, AND with low compression, when the Chevy and Ford guys can't even do it? Something stinks there.>> LS1 Chevy is close in Bore and Stroke and some are probably at that horsepower level. The strange thing to me is that he picked up more hosepower with the nitrous than the rating for the pills. Most people I know seem to actually pick up a little less than the rated amount. That is a 150 shot usually only seems to give about 130 at the rear wheels. I've never doubted Bruce Fulper's ability to make horsepower. I just don't like his people skills. But then he is not the only person with poor people skills. So we have to learn what we can from wherever we can and use the information appropriately. I can think of no reason why a 350 Pontiac cannot equal any other engine of equivalent bore and stroke with equivalent heads, airflow, cam, and other parts. The trick is "EQUIVALENT". Did I spell equivalent correctly? I think so. [ June 02, 2002, 02:50 PM: Message edited by: Bignjun - Rhett ]
