Sam you must be very bored!
Bored - no. Feeling a bit silly - I think so.
I haven't posted any updates on the car lately and I think it misses the attention.

The full arm hang is a posture i haven't seen since the fifties.You will need a soft pack of Luckies rolled up in your t-shirt sleeve to complete the look.

Just make it safe and reliable and drive it.
Already on it Ol Blue - it's been my daily driver all last week and will be as long as it can take the heat.
Honestly, I caught myself wondering on a drive home if it looked cooler with the elbow or full arm out - had to laugh at myself for it. I'm such a poser!

Hey man sorry I just saw you posted this.
You want the truth huh? So what, are you saying I'm one to sugarcoat things? Haha!
Honestly, I'm gonna say you pretty much nailed it on that chop. It could have been maybe a 1/2" less or so to help with the overall flow, but I'm not gonna split hairs considering what you had to deal with there. Good on ya brother. You made it happen! (and all without any of those goofy photoshop nightmares coming to life)
Now quit posing and drive the wheels off that thing!I figured you'd just keep it to yourself if it was too bad. When I was deciding on a chop, I used your opinions to gauge all others. Kind of the 'voice of reason' through a chorus of chop it to the belt line madness.
I was surprised you even looked at this goofy thread again!
Oh - and I have been drivin' it. Elbow out of course!

I vote for the oil spot in the foreground. It compliments the elbow look. If it were 1957, the oil might be from a Brylcream tube, who knows?

It might be in 2011 too. I learned from my dad, and still use BrylCream daily!
I was bummed a few years back when they finally switched from an aluminum tube to plastic, but I'm still loyal. I tell my wife it keeps my hair from falling out. Haha...

Just cruise downtown and check your reflection in the storefront windows to see which way you like best.
I've been doing that since is was a kid. [cl

agreedFull arm...that's how I roll
agreedMore driving - Less posing.
Should we rate your wardrobe too?
good adviceKeep your arm in the car! My Dad's buddy came home from the war without a scratch. Driving down the road with his arm out the window and a woman sideswiped him and took his arm off. With people talking on their phones and texting while driving I think the arm in the car rule is a good one!
