He's workin' 4 da Lord, in a '46 Ford!
Just wondering how many are on here, i know theres a few, !
I'm here in Montgomery...
Tiny is somewhere in Mobile...
and there is someone else on here from B-ham...
I'm just west of mobile. Were spread out for sure
There is 5 or 6 of us rats running around down here so far and a couple around being built. I had a guy yesterday tell me if i would have saved my money i could have found a newer truck i just laughed and said you reckon. Then he told me he really liked it. Only one guy complain about me parking next to his high dollar trailer queen and i think it was because no one was looking at his car they had there back to it.
agreed,, the label thing is pretty must as you said,Hombre here Yea I'm in the Albertville/Guntersville area. I have a couple of old Hot Rods don't like that label thing like "Rat" mainly becuase the dude who thought it up was talking down to all of "US".
Got to tell you outlaws a quick story: Last spring I was new to Alabama. I am a retired Marine and finally bought a little land and my home in Alabama after looking all over the country. My next door nieghbors son in law is a Disc Jockey and he told me about a cruise night held once a month at a Sonic in Boaz, Alabama. So on Saturday night I jump in the Model A and head down there to take a look. Parking lot is not full by any means as I was pretty early but there were a dozen or so mostly restored Camaro's and tri year chevys sprinkled around.
I find me a spot and park the little A Bone. Now you gotta know this, this little Model A I have owned for a very long time. I found it and dug it out of a dry creek bed in Farmesville Texas as a young Marine right after the Viet Nam war when I was changing duty stations from one side of the country to the other. It has been a running and driving Hot Rod sense about 1975 or so. Its been shiny and four or five different colors over the years. Today its satin and I like it just fine like that. I never did need to have anyone else tell me whats cool and whats not, I actually already know what I think is cool.
So I'm setting there at the sonic in Boaz and some lame D&$K dude comes up to me and says "We don't usually allow cars under construction here" In my most polite manor I inform him of a few things. One i don't know who these "WE'S" are as he is by heself and two since this is a public parking lot he is going to need every damn one of those "WE'S" he can round up to get me otta of that parking lot. He must have been a married man and loved his family becuase he disappeared and I didn't see him again. And I was the last one to leave that lot that night.
So I say I hate these damn labels. Usually they are put on people by up tight *****s that are more into "Exclusion" than "Inclusion" And thats also very true of a lot of the folks into the traditional Hot Rodding Scene. My Model A is not welcome at a lot of there shows as well. The killBillet shows are as bad as the trailer queen crowd. They have this list of rules that they want you to conform too. not me kiddies, I make my own rules for the cars I build with me own money. OK--OK I'm off of my soap box just that some of these folks and there labels get me fired up.

Maybe we can all meet up at Flatbroke's one weekend and go cruising are maybe go to a cruise in up that way. There is four of us here in mobile but i cant seem to get those guys online. I'm sure thay would be interested in the ride.
Hombre I like the way you think I'm the same in alot of ways. I'm the one that has to like my truck. As long as i'm happy thats kinda all that matters. I have more fun in my truck going to wal mart with the wife i sit in the parking lot and have my own show. those are some sweet rides you have also.
