The reason I noticed is because I've got a smaller version of it laying here on a shelf in the garage....(and taking into consideration it's a 'rat jeep' of course)

Looks like one of those winged ladies off of an old bowling trophy to me.

Looks like a cast iron tractor seat out the back for the gunner. That drivers seat doesn't exactly look comfy either.

A 'clean' pair of white ones and just ran across some charcoal gray ones on sale when I was out Christmas shopping....(it's kinda hard to tell them from the navy ones right now but they oughta fade out good.....to something like a 'well worn' black pair)

It isn't leaking, it's just marking its territory.

Roc,
Vintage Truck MIGHT do an article on your 2A p'up. They have been experimenting around with trucks like that a bit. Don't remember which issue, but they had a super rare Scout one of about 120 built in 1976. The owner customized the heck out of it. I thought it was a bit of a tragedy given how rare that particular Scout was, but they ran the story.
If you want, I'd be happy to talk to the editor for you. If you're interested, send me some good pictures of it, and I'll use them to plead your case. I might even be able to find a writer for ya if you don't want to do it yerself.
As for JP, a few years ago, they ran a story 'Spared from Restoration We Build a Scrambler Rock Climber.' I was done then.

kid in rolled up jeans, with Chuck Taylors, a chain driven wallet, a
large portion of their body covered in tattoos and piercings, a
Blackberry in hand and some of those trendy little rectangle glasses
on, coupled with a 1950's greaser style pompadour.
Randy, that description fits me to a "T"---Looking forward to meeting you at the Reunion. |

I'm sure there are some real true enthusiasts out there who truly build these rods as a hobby like folks here build Jeeps, but.......and not to paint everyone with the same broad brush.......Almost everytime I see one of these rides pull up, out steps a 20 something kid in rolled up jeans, with Chuck Taylors, a chain driven wallet, a large portion of their body covered in tattoos and piercings, a Blackberry in hand and some of those trendy little rectangle glasses on, coupled with a 1950's greaser style pompadour. Many of them generally seem to care less about the hobby as a whole, or interacting with the other fellow hobbyists. The heritage or lineage of the vehicle they street rodded isn't too important either, but more about how cool it looks.
Again, not everyone is like this, but having spent a lot of time at car and motorcycle shows as an organizer, spectator, and vendor, I've seen this quite a lot.
Guess I'm starting to sound like an old crotchety cuss........"This young generation these days!!!" Edited by randyscycle - 31 Jan. 2010 at 8:45pm |
