Guinness Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Yeah I love the classic American iron! well actually I love all cars Here's a couple of a Bel Air I did this summer- Slainte! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fencepost Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Not only a classic, but a rat rod of sorts, with the flat coloring. That kind of style has always been appealing to me. Very nice man. it's not a rat rod, but I'll forgive you for insulting my car like that 'rat rod' is the saddest thing to happen to hot rodding since... billet wheels. I'm painting my car cause i'm sick of going to a show and having people call it that. My car is 100% safe, runs great and I have taked pride in making it so. Seems everything that has 'flat' (mine is semi gloss, splitting hairs I know) and red rims is called a ratrod. Traditional hot rodding is making a comeback, thank god. I'm glad you like it though, I get lots of funny looks going down the highway Guiness, awsome pics man. I really dig the green of thatt car... perhaps I'll paint my roof green instead...

I'm glad traditional hot rod styling is coming back, I can't abide the cookie-cutter "boydsters" that show up at shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Here's mine :- http://www.anakchan.com/gallery/Hobbies/Porsche A little odd driving through toll gates with 7 muzzles sticking out everywhere, and me in my BDU. Strangely the toll gate attendant lets me pass by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJ Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 wow nice Porsche! I always wanted to get one of the older Carreras but no time to work on em and I cannot spare having two cars yet. Need at least one car with 4 seats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferretkiller Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 it's not a rat rod, but I'll forgive you for insulting my car like that Sorry man, No offense intended. I see what you are saying though. Personally, i like the rat rod style, i dont know the ins and outs of it however, so ill take your word. Regardless though it is a nice car. and now that you say it i can see the semi gloss rather than flat. I once saw a really nice lincoln zepher that a guy had chopped and lowered. It was incredible. It also had a really nice semi gloss paintjob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carbine Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 shankskank, Pure hotness! That's the sexiest version of the scooby, par none! I'm not liking the new hatchback Impreza though. They should have kept it a sedan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ye old Canadian Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 It's a '72. Last year of the early baywindow body style but first year of the more powerful Type 4 pancake engine. I really love it. The bug is a '66 incase anyone was wondering. Man Florida to Colorado... That must have been quite the adventure in a Volkswagen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
