Thread: Newb checking in....

Tweet

Been around Muscle all my life, but I'm a newb when it comes to HotRods

I recently traded my old useless boat for this badboy



'29 chopped steel
Built 454 Roller w/Tunnel Ram
TH350
9inch rear

Needs a little work and the first thing I do when getting into sumthin new is find a good forum, so here I am

Welcome to the site Rick, I don't know what kind of boat you had but I would say you got the best deal unless it was a 40' Yacht able to sleep a dozen people.

Welcome to CHR Rick, looks like a heck of a good trade deal to me!!!

Welcome. Nice little coupe you got in that trade. Looks pretty well done, but I understand about you wanting to make it your own and redo some stuff.

Don

I'd say you made a great trade!!

Good boy! We don't need no stinking boats (boatses? Blazing Saddles) Beautiful car, and welcome

Welcome, Snake,

I really like your coupe. Why is it that I never come across goodies like that?

There is probably a story behind most user names. I'd have to say that yours is ........ interesting? I'm not too sure I would want to hear how it came about!

Glad to have you.

Back in 98, I picked up a brand new Trans Am and went straight from the showroom to the race track (break-in be damned)

Ended up pulling a best time of 12.88 @ 107.3mph, beating out a pair of Viper R/T 10's and a built Mustang Cobra

The announcer called me the "SNAKE EATER" over the P.A. and I've been stuck with the name eversince

Sold the car last year, but I still use the same name on hundreds of messageboards

welcome snake. sweet ride

Hummmm--from the northeast---was that Kerry you traded with????

Here's a pic of the boat....



Believe it or not, I only had $5500 into that thing

I got it on a small series of trades on Craigslist

Started off with this minitruck I picked up for $500 bucks...



Flipped it the very next week for $2000, then picked up this one....



Traded it straight up for this Mopar Powered Drag boat...





Had some fun with it, then I found a Mopar car collector that wanted my boat simply because it was Mopar and he had two matching Plum Crazy Purple cars and traded it for the yellow boat





After a few hundred emails inquiring about possible Muscle car and Hot Rod trades, I finally landed the coupe and traded the yellow boat straight up just a couple days ago

Hmm, some of my posts aren't showing (says a mod needs to verify first)
