Hi, from Valencia, SPAIN

[sgtpontiac]

I'm sure you'd enjoy the trip to the USA....

You are correct...... we can express ourselves and be creative... but I think that you are doing a great job of expressing yourself right there in your country.... can't be too many people that are into the Rat Rod thing there.....I saw a lot of sports cars and large boats when I visited Puerto Banus, but didn't see anything cool like yours.....[cl And also.....your english is good....wish my spanish was better....

hi PORTnPOLISH ,
if you decide to visit Spain,
youre welcome,
I´m in the Mediterranean Sea medium city: Valencia, (1.000.000 people)
its a beatifull city, and relaxed,
not like Barcelona or Madrid with too much popullation. (and in the other hand, big cities have more things to watch...)
But don´t expect to find nothing special about cars here (except mine ))

hi sgtPontiac,
Puerto Banús, what a place... a retirement place for a millionaires,ussually english, Arabia Saudi family, Russian mafia and others... hahah,
there is no other place like this in Spain.
I saw more Rolls Royce cabriolet in one minute than in all my life.

I´ve sold my first fiberglass kitcar pick up (30 style, but my own design, street legal-only body work) 14 years a go, in a show car reunion.
A lot of rememberings comes to my head now,
but this was another history...

About the USA, I think youre right, I´m sure I´m gona love it, if I visit.
100%

And about my car crazy works from now, youre right too,
I feel very free now (without restricition and rules and/or politics decissions about car rules)
I make it and I let my imagination fly and feel very confortable in the middle of the scratch and cutting, welding, putting things from one place to another...you know ...
I feel me like a mix of Leonardo da Vinci & Dr Frankestein... x))
and in the other hand I feel that, this that I start to make (in the free way that I start to make by now) can bring me interesting things and feelings, and meet interesting people.
like you buddies.

Leanardo davinci and Dr.Frankenstein .....that's the best I've ever ever heard it put!!!! That is signature worthy.

Hi Snake, thank you, "be positive,always positive " sometimes its not soo easy but I try...

¡Bienvenidos!

Welcome CrocodileWrench. Your trucks look great - it is all about creativity and fun.

I lived in Catarroja and Benimamet briefly back in the 80s as a missionary (and other places in Spain longer). I love Spain and her people. Great to see you here and look forward to your project progress.

Hi 440shorty,
thank you for your welcome,
I live 10 km to Catarroja,
ok, this area isn´t bad to live,
but a little boired for people with burning brains...
too much relaxing
I take a view of your S10,
wow
I never see one like this,
it impresed me [cl
I got one (that I bought from the US army in Rota Naval Station, Spain)
and I drive it two years, fine ride...I like it,
but yours, make a twist in the screw of rat rodding

gramatically I think can be more correct: "La Grua Rat Rod" becouse is a mix of spanish and english words, and cannot be translated together, but "Rat Grua" o "Grua Rat" can be good too.
