Hi guys been a little while we have been working 80hrs a week cars running great took to a few shows and people seem to love it won a trophy at eveyone so far even the hot rod guys compliment me few haters on the rat rod seen but didn't bother me to much even a few more louver jobs from the hot rod guys was told a rat rod is a lazy man's hot rod so asked what are you driving he replied I don't have a car oh so who's the lazy one he says I'm not referring to your car but rat rods in general have a good day I told him hope everyone is doing well

I love the haters. They can call a rat rod anything they want too, but in the end they are a work of art. Ask a hater how come your rat rod draws more attention then a cookie cutter hot rod? Don't get me wrong, I love hot rods too, but a rat rod will draw more attention then most other cars out there and the hot rod crowd hates that. They'll spend 50k building a car and we'll spend 5k on a car and people will take hundreds of pictures of the rat rod. Drive proud my friend, you deserve it and congrats on getting more side jobs. You are great with the louver machine.

Sorry to hear the news, did the 1 ton have insurance? or is this gonna be an hit to the pocket book.

obama · « **Reply #36 on:** June 22, 2016, 10:24:05 PM »

Glad the hood can be worked with, that looks like a lot more work than the grill.

Blackwater · « **Reply #37 on:** June 23, 2016, 05:51:38 AM »

That just plain SUCKS!!! I too hope the guy has insurance!!

hotwheels · « **Reply #38 on:** June 23, 2016, 07:59:08 AM »

Holy crap, that sucks. Hopefully like the bionic man, you'll rebuild it bigger and better then before, and it was damn Schweet before.

He didn't have insurance I do but mine is being a pain so looks like I'll be eating it I actually wish it was the hood over the grill cause I have another hood and do my own louvers the grill and radiator are the biggest hit so far everything to put it together is about 2700 plus the cam nitrous and convertor but since the wife feels bad about it getting smashed I figure what better time to add a few small mods lol it will return hopefully in a few weeks

You should have his license held and contact his employer. Your insurance company should repair the car and prosecute him for restitution. Check the rules on un-insured motorist in your policy and in state law.

If all else fails, HIRE AN AMBULANCE CHASER!!!

obama · « **Reply #41 on:** June 23, 2016, 11:21:09 PM »

Weather he has insurance or not, if it his fault he is on the hook for the $$. Local police can help encourage him to reach a settlement.

Callenjr81 · « **Reply #42 on:** June 24, 2016, 07:00:37 AM »

Problem is he's a friend and I know he doesn't have the money and I'm workin so much don't have time to fight lawyers or deal with insurance they want me to haul it to 3 different shops If I had time I would but where still 6 days a week dark to dark

Well you'll be able to bring er back to life. You've already brought it to life once.

Well 4 sleepless nights after work and the 36 is back on the rd for the weekend had to straighten the grill shell but turned out awesome can't tell it was hit couple little dolly marks but for a piece to body shops said wasn't fixable due to not being able to use any filler I was happy it took me 7 hrs of hammer and dolly but she's back don't know why but can't load pics

obama · « **Reply #45 on:** July 03, 2016, 12:38:33 AM »

Glad it's coming back together!!

Check your image size, sometimes the server rejects big photos. I usually resize my pictures to the 1024 range. I have a link to a great free program here on the site called photofiltre. Just do a search for it here and you'll find the link. Glad it's coming back to life.
