    Info on my one oddball wire wheel?

    What he said. Yeah, if ya had a set of those instead of just one, you would have a really nice sought after set.

    Your other rides besides Rats

    dont even know if I got a picture... But I been driving "Mondo Woody" (what the sales guy called my truck when it came in after I special ordered it new in 2001). But, it is a 2002, 1 ton Dodge Ram 4x4, extra heavy off road package, plus tow, and camper package. It looks like it has aftermarket...

    I've beat tickets.. On countless occasions, I have beat a ticket with subtle, dorky humor. I have always been sort of a jokester anyway and I found humor not aimed at the cop, but aimed more at myself many times lightens the mood of an otherwise tense situation. One such times was when I was...

    Old Dodge truck. Deal or not??

    If it has a title, runs and drives, under a grand I would jump on it..

    Yeah, "Scared" was really the wrong word, maybe "apprehensive" "On alert" or "cautious" would have been better.. But, like ya said, ya never know when walking up to a car of unknown. I have a couple close friends that are cops, and they do have some stories to tell for sure.. Some scary, and...

    Local speed traps website

    This has always been my experiance. I generally have always had pleasant pullovers with cops. But, like you mentioned, I have always been respectful and put the officer at ease that I was no threat. In fact, one a few years ago, was very gracious to me because I had a concealed hand gun in the...

    Dont know if its still like this but.. 30 years ago, I used to travel allot in my 49 Plymouth, and the worst speedtraps, contrary to the steriotypical small southern town is Illinois. Those dudes were tricky as hell along interstate 57 from South Chicago all the way southern Ill.

    Bugbomb

    You mean like this one.. Actually, this one wasn't all that special. It did have a 1600DP that was pretty quick, but it puked out about a half quart of oil everytime I shut it off. It didn't leak while running. I never could figure out why it did that, so I just named it "Jaundice Valdez" (I...

    Bugbomb

    Love it.. Not only am I a hot rod guy, I always walked that line with bugs too. Funny in many of the hot rod shops that didn't know I was also a VeeDubb guy used to make fun of bugs, saying they were for the guys that couldn't afford a real hot rod, lol.. My wife is a bug gal, and loves em...

    new ford steel, threw the roof

    agreed Yep, it's all good. If I had the funds and wanted a good clean steel body to start with, I'd buy one in a heartbeat myself. Again, they are expensive, but I would go that route before I went with a plastic/fiberglass bucket.. I am glad that manufactures like them are here to provide the...

    new ford steel, threw the roof

    I hear ya, but you kinda took my comment that was really in jest out of context. I agree with you. One rich guy in particular and whom I admire is Jay Leno. More money than I will ever see, and an avid collector and restorer of classic cars. He has a staff in his garage, BUT he also is in there...

    RatRodMagazine - Issue 6 available preorder

    The #5 was bound because it was a special edition and thicker. Im not sure if the mass produced ones are gonna be that same quality. I can't remember what he said the difference was gonna be, but it was something to do with the way they did it when they printed the 1st, and a change in the...

    new ford steel, threw the roof

    I agree that they should be here, and command a butt load of money. I love the fact that they are an American made, with American steel but, us po' fokes got to do all that labor ourselves and can't afford those bodies. But I do respect the fact they are building quality American steel bodies...

    RatRodMagazine - Issue 6 available preorder

    I plan to. Gonna get the #1 reprint when it becomes available. But they did mention that there is going to be a slight difference in the reprint vs the original #1. Which kind of sucks, but on the other hand, kinda good because it keeps the original #1 very limited and makes it much more...

    new ford steel, threw the roof

    Those are for the rich guys that dont like to get their hands dirty. For 22K$, I would want it to have a kick ass paint finish too. The 6k$ one isn't "too" out of the ballpark for a quality steel body, but 22? paleese... And like mentioned, if you cant build a body pulled out of a field for...

    RatRodMagazine - Issue 6 available preorder

    Well, I wasn't even close to single digit. #37. Not sure what that means, but that was my order #. Actually, if there is to be any collectible rags it will be the #1-#5 issues, which I have #3,#4,& #5. Wish I had the other originals though..

    using things for a different purpose than they were designed for...

    Dig it Im digging that overflow bottle. Also, I would use that singer sewing light mounted on the dash as a dash light.. Just sayin.. I have an old C4 map light from a B-52, complete with red black out lens filter I aim to use as a map light in my ride. Used to have a bunch of them because...

    If you were inclined to use that on your front axle, I would bet to guess tow in, or out wouldn't mean allot to you.. Just sayin.. [S
