Re: REO almost done, Chevy next
I love street rods but, we're not all evil. I did refrain from cutting up a nice '80 2 door malibu I found. Found it a nice home with a guy who wanted to keep it orig. I just couldn't bring myself to cut the speckled paint in the trunk up for a fuel cell.
I will never forget the day my dad sold a '32 Ford rod for a 1960 totally stock corvette. he wouldn't put on pipes, tires, rims,....nothing. Man I hated that car and have hated the stockers ever since. LOL the '32 was so cool, side pipes, loud as heII, fat and skinny's, chrome everywhere..oh yeah. every time we drove it somewhere the "man" was eyeing us up. as a young teen I was so pumped about that car.
I do look at the stockers now days but usually I see the potential car it could be. LOL I always appreciate the work that goes into them though. Takes a lot more skill to get one back to original then it does to rod them.
, i love the old stuff, that is in nice shape. when i went to school to be a mechanic, i wanted to work on that type stuff, but i ended up at a new car dealership, i never get to work on anything more than 10 years old. this new stuff is all pcm, and gm techline, its broke, no, it just needs rebooted:facepalm:
