You know mine is still gonna be the protest against show car/trailerqueens. And as far as that goes Dave I take back my appology that I said. Im still gonna put down the trailer queens.

LOL, put down whatever you want, just don't do it until you've built something and would actually have real reasons to do it..... geez, still trying to think of what to build someday, and allready knocking the rest of us.......

In the meantime, I'll just keep hauling mine. This is the new one, should be here in January......

Nice trailer!!
Hey Dave you could always invite one of the rat rodders over to help you polish on yer ride before the show to better understand the trailer or let em help pay for the parts.

In my opinion a trailer is better than sittin in jail for assault when some inconsiderate fool door dings your brand new ,labor intensive ,very exspensive paint job right before the show. Unfortunatly most of the people who knock shiney parts or cars .....{A} can not afford them or .....{B} can not do that caliber of work and have had nothing nice before.

Thanks, should be a nice one. This one will be 32 footfloor length and triple axles, same exterior and door arrangement, though. Lots of nice storage over the fifth wheel, making some cabinets for it soon as my buddy Bart appropriates the stainless steel..... Probably the last one I will buy, so I'm going to make it a nice one.

Only thing I could add on what you said about people knocking show cars and trailers, better also add to the list those who don't have the ambition or patience to build one.... Otherwise it's fairly accurate IMO,,,

Hey there Dave we already know what we are building and already have most everything to build it. Oh and the only guy IM knocking is you.

Well I would be happy to compete against you. I know that we will build some kick-a cars and can win a few cars shows with them. I just hope you are ready to go against us. Oh and as one person said about trying to keep the rockabilly image I am doin exactly that keeping the rockabilly image. I just want to let you know if your a jerk to me then I will be a jerk back.

Ok, whatever..... Like I say, let me know when you start building and post us some pics of the progress as you go.... Any idea what you are going to build yet???????? I've got three in the shop, and 4 waiting. Curious what it is you are going to be building.....

Well.....................this seems to be going pretty well.


Don

Just grouchy today, weather sucks, I'm sick, and now a guy who hasn't yet started on his own car is putting me down for hauling mine in a trailer. Guess he's right, I'm just a jerk. But hey!!!! I'm good at it!!!!!

Boys, time to give your egos a reality check.


Enough said.

Not an ego problem for me Bill. I know what my abilities and inadaqucies are.... I build cars......... As far as competing, I love to compete!!!! Gonna challenge Mike to a wheelchair race one of these days!!!!!!

You know mine is still gonna be the protest against show car/trailerqueens.

Lemme see. What should I do first? Build a car, start a street rod, or graduate from highschool? Decisions, decisions, decisions. Son, you'd be fortunate to carry Dave's tools - but I doubt he'd let you.

Protest . . . or before and after display?

And that's all I have to say about that.
