Car and Bike Talk

[Shiftless]

I want to whine TOO!

I had to sell me 69 Z28 DZ 302 with Houndstooth interior to buy my first house!

In 73 it still only had 27K miles on it! Fookin FUN Car!!!

Now My street rods are a Station wagon (1964 Chevelle 2 door wagon) and a car with a bed (57 Ranchero).

So it all worked out I guess?

friend them little Kraut Kars. Give me a 426 4 speed Hemi any day.

Wait a minute! When I was a kid my Dad said NO money for a car for you buddy!
My job is to put a roof over your head, food in your mouth, clothes on your back and an education!

You want a car? That is on you!

He created a monster some say!

I flipped over 30 of them there kraut cars from the age of 16 to 19. He came to realize it kept me out of trouble!
I didn't allow him to park in his own garage as that is where I wrenched on his cars, painted cars and also kept my cars and motorcycles! For a kid I had Bitchin Cars and Trucks. I guess spoiled, but had to earn it on my own!

And yes I was a good son, I even maintained his yard's in lieu of payment!

Long Live them Kraut cars! I even still have VW powered kick start only motorcycles!

Just a couple years ago I sold my Americanized/Kraut car VW Type 3 Squareback. Custom frame, 300 HP 350 Chevy up front, breathed on 200 r4. Not only a sleeper, it was quick and un assuming bland tan color that put many a hot rod to shame!

Early Dot welding before the more popular Spot welding became the norm!

Heck, its just making a frame kinda stick together>>> What's To Worry!

Maybe the guy just likes running a COLD bead of dot's? Ya Know, like the ice cream.

Or maybe he thinks this makes a Hot Rod look COOL?

I think the guy didn't know the first thing about welding.

"Cab" resembles a body from a late 40s sedan grafted to the pickup front end.
