^ if you weren't there you'll never know...

 

Aesthtic and Pedigree? Are we talking about the same BilletProof? This one?:


How many times have you seen my car in public? (probably never), but if you would have seen it, whether at a cruise-in, or a show, then you would know that I almost NEVER pop the hood. I classify my car as a Kustom, a LeadSled type car, and opening the hood breaks up the natural flow of the design. From the outside, nobody's going to know the difference, and I honestly I could care less if they did, as I am building it for me to drive, not them.

I'm glad you think I'm doing this just for the hell of it, especially since I now have a Caddy 331 taking up space in my Garage.
Here's what she looked like 2 years ago...



But heck. That motor that I spent $6000 rebuilding and balancing was running so good that it was back in the shop every 2-3 months. Couldn't even take it more than 120 miles without it breaking something. What good is a car if you can't drive it?

You said it yourself. Just because you worked somewhere, it does not make you an authority on the subject. Your still a spectator on the sidelines.

I must apologize to everyone here. By definition, BUILD means to assemble from parts. BUILD UP means to enhance something by assembling from parts.
Apparently some members are "Building a Beater", rather than "Building Up a Beater". My bad.

I actually liked the Camo car. It had a theme, and it was executed. Why am I here? To give my opinion and to increase my post count of course.

I'm glad this is keeping you entertained at work...

I'm really glad I'm on my phone right now. You've always cracked me up since you underestimate who I am and what I've done...like everyone else.

I got my job because I know my subject matter. Not because I bought into it with a car. I know you, I know of all of your attempts at different genres. They're always almost there but not quite since you do a lot of things just to look good in front of your peers. Hey, ot happens...no biggie, that's who you've always been. Recognition whore. Such is life.

For the record, the camo car was a joke, a pile of total shit that just so happened to fit how I was feeling at the time. It was fun but never a serious effort.

I'd love to delve into this more but I'm tired of hammering away on my Storm. Seriously though, I dunno why you're in here.

 

"Always almost there, but not quite"?
Wow...you obviously DO NOT know me at all.

And about my current choice of car...I finally decided to build MY dream car. Sorry if it didn't fit any "Genre" here at TR. At least its not a bandwagon car like the 240.

 

oh snaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^

 

Now now, he knows everything about building cars, and what everyone is capable of, hell he even knows what you are going to do next with your project.

In reality, he sure seems to assume nobody else can build a car, and like quite a few others here, believes he is something special for owning an S chassis sooner than some of the others around here.

 

quite a few people on here are that way...

 

Indeed, bunch of crying and whining, i've done a few dozen engine swaps, countless harnesses, a few full builds for customers, good bit of paintwork, overnight engine replacements when friends engines died, countless hours of "junkyard research", and been the death of many clutches, you'll never catch me on the holier than everyone else attitude that many around here have.

This dudes getting all butthurt and bragging about his bolted together cars with off the shelf parts, because he wanted to make an asshole comment, about a car that was posted to reference proper wheel fitment, in reply to a retard who thinks he's from the ghetto, builds cars worse than a 3 year old with a lego technics kit, and thinks wheel fitment includes the furthest from proper offset as he can get, and then -5465463 degrees of camber plus some stick on fender flares

 

I've reread this several times, and I am still not sure who you are and are not referring too.

 

kind of encompasses everyone... you, Jrsink, hellaslow, maybe even me...

good post, as Z28 is a good dude...
