Price?

Sorry, doods...had a bananas week. We'll do cars and coffee prolly 2nd week of January... I'll update the website.

For Cleetus...just looking if anyone has something in good shape that's taking up too much space. If I can't find something for cheap, I'll try to fix/reupholster the bench I already have. Prefer red or white in color. Vinyl/cloth don't matter. Trying to get upholstery without cracks or holes. Prefer bolt-in for 1982 Ford F100/F150, but will drill holes to get it to fit if necessary. Thanks!

Scott's turbo Miata is a fun little monster. Oh...and sparks fly out from the front wheels when he's braking!

Thanks, guys. I'd do it myself if no one steps up by this coming Friday. Just PM me if anyone wants to get in touch with Lyle directly; I'll give you his contact info.

Thanks to the omnipresence of the intarbuttz, I received a call from a random gear head in Nebraska. We actually talked for 20minutes and I dug his story. Because I'm a little lazy on Sundays thanks to my religious beliefs, I asked him to email me the gist of our convos so I can help him... Basically, he's looking to buy a Street Beasts-bodied '34 Ford, but wants someone with hot rod expire nice to check out the car and drive it to make sure it's straight, before he buys it and ships it off. http://www.cruisinclassicsinc.com/detail.aspx?id=1964810&PrefID=0&.aspx He'll pay you for your time, and he'd like it done sometime this week. See below...I have his email and cell phone to anyone interested in helping him out. thanks, CR!:thumbup: Dear Clay, First thank you for taking the time to talk to me tonight. I am looking at a 34 ford at Cruisin Classics 3575 Fisher Road Columbus, OH 43228...I need some help, because of the distance from Nebraska, If you know of someone that could go over to Cruisin Classics and take the car out for a test drive and give me their opinion. My cell phone is xxxxx home phone 402-xxxxxxx....Any help would be appreciated. My folks are in poor health right now, Mom is 92 and Dad is 94 D day and the battle of the Bulge, and the timing is just wrong to make such a long trip.

Badass Mustang...never seen a Fox-body on those newer wheels. Welcome to the site!

Thanks again, Sean! I really appreciate it. If I wasn't leaving first thing in the morning for Cincy I'd jump over there. Anything I can do for the valve rattle?

Was going for "Santa Claus'd out"... got "U-Haul'd out". :no: Needs 70's-style muscle car quarter-panel stripe, so I can go all "Starsky-N-Hutch'd out". :fuckyeah:

To everyone on CR, I am a happy 34-year old man of sound mind and body. Please let this be an official statement that I will NEVER attempt suicide. I've been through some tough times in life, but I love the world and my place in it. If I die, and police rule it a suicide...DON'T BELIEVE THEM! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!! I WAS MURDERED AND THERE IS A COVER-UP!!! That said, I sincerely feel for this nurse and her friends and family.

Wow. I've been very impressed with Ford in recent years but reading up on the MT82 is very surprising. Sorry to hear about your problems, Ant! Enjoy the new tee-ruk!

Emboldened by my nearly-successful, tractor-paint job on Cleetus, I'm looking into my next project. Both my wife and I had Suzuki Samurai's growing up in high school, and I would like to look into another 4WD open-top driver for cruising or rough-weather DD work. I'd like to try to get a relatively basic (no A/C or power accessories) Wrangler to fix up cosmetically, and run around town. Something I can enjoy on great days with the family. Paint/bodywork doesn't bother me, since I like the way my truck came out and would be satisfied doing some rust patching on flat panels and painting the body myself for cheap. Any reputable places to look at for used Jeeps? Anyone on CR know of a friend/family member/neighbor that has one possibly for sale? Anyone on here that had a YJ and can give opinions on owning one? I wouldn't be towing or doing heavy mods for off-roading...

5/3 Bank is setting up a new Mortgage Service Center (opening, servicing, funding, etc...) downtown with 40 open positions. Let me know if you think she's interested.

I heard the new Hilton is really nice...not sure what is going on downtown though...

My Maxima was owner of the "short bus" for awhile...:megusta:

Just to put this discussion to bed... I was going to Plasti-Dip Cleetus...put two coats of Tractor and Implement paint on it this weekend. REALLY GLAD I WENT THE PAINT ROUTE (and I'm using a $30 HF gun and $45 worth of paint, hardener, and thinner!) PlastiDip on a $1k truck = bad. PlastiDip on your tits Nova = worse.

Wheels/front bumper/pitted trim going all white. Was going to leave hood patina'd, but now thinking about artwork, patina racing stripes... Still needs another coat or two. I did the mix wrong: instead of 8:1:1 for paint:naphtha:hardener, it was like 40:1:1...shit glomped on like rhino-lining. However, this paint takes 24 hrs to cure between coats and it's leveling really well. Look forward to another coat tomorrow!

http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=6768 YAY! My first paint job! DERP!

Bro-in-laws 1988 911. Manual steering, super-precise with great feedback.

Just watched it on Netflix per my brothers recommendation. Excellent sci-fI flick, and I'm not normally one for this genre. Moves quickly with some good action. Not gonna watch "firefly". The movie was good enough for me.

I remember loving the article in HOT ROD Magazine...never saw this video. LOL @ "Redneck Ariel Atom"
