Well Im back on there guys. Just gonna keep to my self this time. Almost got all the parts scraped up to put the t-5 in my 58.

Well, did my intro yesterday..with a few pics...so far just a couple of welcomes, with nothing negative. Read their "read this before joining" notice..hmmm. isn't "traditional custom" a contradiction in terms?
I must have a diferent concept of what "custom" means...but I won't ask anyone there. LOL

[JPotter57]

To them traditional custom means the way it would have been  done back in the olden days, with fire heated lead, etc.  Bondo is acceptable as long as you dont talk about it.  The customizer has to have pork chop sideburns, a big greased up pompadour hairdo, and wear sleeveless t-shirts with jeans rolled up with 6 inches of cuff at the bottom.  Finish it off with a pair of old Dingo steel toed biker boots, and $10,000 worth of tattoos, and you're in like Flynn....

Some of them would better off spending their money building a time machine and transporting themselves back to their chosen era rather than trying to make 2012 seem like 1952.

This, my friends, is the proper look to sport at the next Ol Skool Rodz Greaser-Fest...Behold the awesomeness!   
I tried to do a serach for Ol Skool Rodz greasers, but too much of what appeared to be soft core porn started coming up on the screen, and truly, I just can't stand the sight of some tattooed up skeezer broad with bleached hair..Nasty, man...

[RICH MUISE]

LOL...that's me in the middle..third from the left. Were you into my facebook page?

[JPotter57]

Lol

I was wondering whatever happened to you! You get the 58 up and running? Mine is still in pieces:( I have my opinions on the HAMB, not gonna voice them al, but you can learn a lot there. I've learned more on this forum in the last month than I did there in 2 years

[JPotter57]

That's the good thing about a forum that concentrates on a specific marque.  We do one year of one make, everyone else is welcome, providing they are aware this is not an all inclusive club.  There are a lot of `58 guys on here, because a lot of the information crosses over to their cars because of the commonalities of the platform, and they participate, and are encouraged to do so.  We talk occasionally about other stuff here, but only briefly.  The tech though, is ALL 57 Ford.  That is the vision we had when we first started `57 Fords International back in '99, to ca ter only to the '57 Fords.  There are a ton of galaxie, fairlane, thunderbird etc, clubs, Crown Victoria clubs galore, but none just for `57 Fords, which I still think are better looking than any of the other `50's Fords.  The HAMB has its place if you like Chevrolets and 20s-30s Fords, and the 57 Ford social group there is growing, but still participation is limited.  All bias aside, seriously, this is my favorite site on the web, along with the Y-block site.

i didn't read it anywhere, i could have easily missed it but if you wear biker boots and have lots of tattoos, and your wife is heavily tattooed are you not welcome here?

[RICH MUISE]

xsilencex...You probably haven't been on this website long enough to readily recognize the comments were made in Jest..just haven' some fun. From what I've seen in the 2 1/2 years or so I've been here...and I think I can speak for James and most everybody here...It's all about a healthy attitude. Fortunatly, James won't put up with alot of unnecesary bs and badmouthing, and as long as that criteria is met, nobody cares what you look like or ethnic background, etc.

[Ford Blue blood]

As a balding 66 (almost) year old fat man I can tell you for sure it just don't matter what you look like, as long as you have your priorities lined up properly, and if you don't keep them to your self, (we don't do politics here), 57 Fords is it here!

[JPotter57]

Everyone is welcome here, regardless of tattoos, dress, race, creed, whatever.   I don't care if you want to dip your wife into an ink bottle, not my business.  I did say that it's not my bag, though, and personally, and this is my opinion, I think it's nasty and doesn't make the woman look any better, only trashier.  That said, it is my opinion, not the opinion of this site, so the more, the merrier.  I wear a sweet pair of combat boots to work every day, by the way.
