Dang, we Relics rule!!
It's a Wednesday, and I'm planning to get some "bear claw" door latches in Dan's 1954 Chevy, but it was not to be. The guy who sold him the "regular" size bear claws sold him the "small" bear claw install kit. That killed the "Save the Girlfriend from flying from the car" program, because you can't fit them together, and Dan didn't want to hack it all the fuck up. I'm hoping we get Dan's car car tech legal for the Kingdon drag races on 10.07.06, but that may require another Friday thrash!!!
So what else should we do on a rainy Wednesday night?
Chop a car? Whaddaya? Crazy?
So after a visit by the Mormans on bicycles, (They really dig this old car stuff, and I think God was with me on this one!) we set the CUT-OFF wheel into my 1931 Ford Coupe! Should have heard that 75 year old SCREAM!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Anywho, four inches later, it's a real chopped top hot rod!
It ain't done yet, and more pictures later. If you check the Relic's club site, you may see them sooner. Jeremy and Dan snapped pictures like Japaneese tourists, which is a good thing, because I'll probably want to show this to my grandkids or someone later. Gotta have something for the nursing home, right? Gung-hoy!!
Now, if only my brakes worked.....
