dezeldoc Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Worst part is when someone new asks a question and they don't like it they hit them with both barrels!! poor guy tucks tail and leaves most of the time. me i stand my ground and fight back! Quote
glendale Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 since ryan started the alliance i can't find it anymore. that's why i'm not sure what my exact # is. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah, it gets kinda crazy over there. Some newbies start in with questions that deserve a respectable answer. Some jump in before having done any research and ask kinda dumb questions (or make dumb comments)......possibly deserving of a flame job. A person needs to have read posts on the hamb for a while before joining in - to see what sort of thoughts get what sort of responses. I don't think the guys with attitudes and snide answers are always right.....but sometimes they are. A lot of it is subjective opinion on-- what's traditional and so forth. I post occasionally but try to stay away from any volatile topics. The good news is they hold the HAMB drags right here in Joplin in August. The parking lot of the host hotel ,which is changing this year from Ramada Inn (now LaQuinta) to the Holiday Inn.....is full of all description of rods and customs. They come here from all over the country, and those ratty looking, loud old hotrods make the drive. A few are trailered, but they are mainly drag cars that wouldn't do so well on the highway. They will probably get to use the parking lot of the convention center next to the Holiday Inn.....which is a lot more room than the Ramada parking lot. I try to go by (driving the Plymouth, of course) and look at the cars and visit a little. Take a couple beers to drink - as that is a prime pasttime during this event. The guys are friendly and willing to visit. They go out to the strip about noon on Saturday and have fun. I ran the Plym during "test and tune" time two summers ago......my first time to ever drive down the quarter mile. Was always paired with something much hotter than mine, but no matter, it wasn't a real race......just fun. In the next-to-last picture - i gave Denise an Oldsmobile cap to go with her car "Big Olds". (There were containers of chocolate chip cookies in her trunk.) Quote
glendale Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 o.k. the lens is just kinda shoved in the bumper guard but that is what my tailights will look like. and i filled the trim wholes on the right front fender. Quote
wills 51 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Looki'n good hope to see it driving by soon.... Quote
steveplym Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 Wow, you've done a lot of work there Glendale. Looking really good. Keep us updated. Quote
glendale Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Posted March 30, 2009 i would have more done but i tried to take my left index finger off with a grinder. so i had to get 8 stitches. i'll spare you guys those pics. Quote
greg g Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 ouch, 8 stitches in one finger?????? keep those pics to yourself. Quote
dezeldoc Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 8 stitches heck that only rates 3 wraps with the maskin tape!! Quote
glendale Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 so i am just going to keep this thread going. her is one of my tail lights finished. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Looks good. Will they show up OK to the traffic behind?? Quote
glendale Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 i'm pretty sure they will show up fine. plus i am going to put a third light in the rear window. Quote
greg g Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Looks good. Bloddyknuckles did something similar for his recently. Quote
glendale Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 yeah me and bloody knuckles tend to have the same taste in our style of cars. he's a good dude. Quote
Brendan D25 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 How did you attach the light housing to the inside of the bumper guard? Thanks, Brendan. Quote
glendale Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 i glued the lens to the defuser it's a bit bigger than the lens. i'll shoot some pics tonight. Quote
glendale Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Posted April 18, 2009 here are some updated photos. Quote
glendale Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 i pushed the car out and took a couple of new pics. and i lowered the back a bit. Quote
knuckleharley Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah, it gets kinda crazy over there.Some newbies start in with questions that deserve a respectable answer. It reminds me of high school over there,and I didn't like high school. One of the "cool kids" will say something to you,and if you just in his face,his hanger-ons will chime in cause they want to be cool,too. Quote
knuckleharley Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 i'm pretty sure they will show up fine. plus i am going to put a third light in the rear window. Can you get LED lights for your 50? They are really bright. If I didn't already have so much money in finding and rechroming the taillights in my 48 coupe,I'd go with the LED ones being made. You can even buy them cheaper than you can get the original stuff rechromed. Quote
glendale Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 they are not led lights in fact i have not put bulbs in it yet. in that pick i'm just holding it up to my porch light. Quote
knuckleharley Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 they are not led lights in fact i have not put bulbs in it yet. in that pick i'm just holding it up to my porch light. LOL! Man,you are going to have a FORTUNE in wiring if you plan on driving very far. I was just saying that IF LED lights are available for your car,you might want to look into buying them. They really are bright enough to be worth the money. BTW,what color are you going to paint your car? Quote
glendale Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 i hope to just get it primer for this summer it will be dark burgandy. the lights are completely custom so no leds for me. plus on a personal level i can't stand them they make me nervous when i see them flashing. i know i'm a freak. keep your eyes peeled i hope to shoot the primer this weekend.

dezeldoc Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Hey you ever going to come pick up your fuel hose, i am done with it now! Quote
