Here's what the Ontario Highway Saftey Act says, this is a direct copy from the act. But even this leaves a gray area, what about when it's not raining? For the most part, if your not throwing 20 ft. roostertails, slinging mud, and putting out windsheilds with stones from the tread grooves, most law enforcers will leave you alone. May have to have fenders for a safety check, but that will depend on the inspecting mechanic. I have passed a few without, but made sure the owner understood the passage and wording of the Act. You want run in the rain without fenders, that up to you...and some snarly cop.:eek: I would have a copy with me for the nice days if stopped, just to point out I really don't need a ticket. Sniper

Thanks for the info Sniper ,I'll keep a copy of that for the future if I get to build me something.
 
Hey George, I also had a great time, I agree, in front of "THE SINGEL FINGER SPEED SHOP " was the place to be.
I'm sure glad Fay Butler didn't look to close at your car.
That Chip sure is a great guy!!
 
thanks nitrous post some more of that truck i dig it. and thanks bob w. i was going thru photo's and realized i have over 600 pics of this build was thinkin bout doin a build from the bigining kinda like all the hollywood movie sequels are doing now, going back.

38 mag had a good time talking to you and hangin out, and congrats to you you deserved it.

it was the best when DARREL STARBIRD came down and talked to me about it and pointed out some of the customizing i did without me having to say a word, thats when i felt kinda good bout it. it was his signature that really made my weekend too.! DP1
 
George Im hopeful that Ill get mine going so I can have it there next year. Thats awesome that you got Chip Foose to sign your dash. I did see the other guys from the Overhaulin crew there but I didnt see Foose.


I also posted all of the pictures that I took under the Autorama thread in the shows section.

ROCKB1 i will keep you up to date on your frame, plan on starting this coming up weekend and will email you pics as i go so you will have a complete build portfolio of everything i do as i do it. dp1,george

Had a time to remember...!!

Man...did I have a GREAT TIME....!! Sniper,I looked and looked for you but couldnt find anyone wearing a RRR shirt.I am SURE DP1 would LOVE to thank all who HELPED him...:D;):eek::rolleyes: Hehehehehehe...now I get to post my pics.They aint as cool as the rest BUT still had a great time.And like it was said before...SINGLE FINGER SPEED SHOP guys were a blast to hang out with..!!! Raul was the coolest..( aka...Larry..) and the rest for the people I met while hanging out there.And YES it was the PERFECT place to be placed.Met some REALLY cool Rat rodders and wished everyone from here could have gotten together while the Autorama was going on.It really seems like a whole different world when rat rodders are hanging out with there OWN kind.!! ( theres a story behind this comment....LMAO..).Speedcult guys were there and let me tell you, the crowd was always 3 deep to buy there stuff.LOVE the naked lady cut out of metal.!! It was cool to see Chip Foose come by and MAN did the crowd come alive when he walked through.!! Things upstairs..( queens only..) were cool.When we left there was a 3 mile back up just to get there trailers in front to load up.>!! Should have heard the noise when about 50% of the rats fired up getting ready to leave..!! MAN..!! The music by the Twistin Tarantulas was the greatest..!! Pin-up contest was cool until the drunks got involved so I left but still managed a few pics.Man..I am exhausted..but really had a great time.

hey unkl ian, i look,d for ya upstairs in the stripe area but didnt know what you look.d like sorry i miss,d meeting ya. maybe next time bulletproof or hunnert?


I will be at Billetproof.
Not sure about Hunnert, depends on the date.


I'm easy to find, look for the guy with the gray beard. :D

Actually, I usually wear a Pith Helmet,
with almost 50 Flying eyeball pins on it.
That should help narrow it down.

I did see Orange Crush there, but it was pretty late Sunday.

I like that unconventional approach to the chop! A really different and original look. I also like the riveted trim around the door. Nice work by the builder.
