Since it will be a 48 F1 build it will have to be posted here too LOL! Cant wait to hear the responses to that one.
I'm in for viewing, just let me know when..

One of my requirement for a build is not to have to be required to get a tetanus shot before getting into it

No need, I have a waiver form to sign before getting in my caddy!

Sometimes I think people do things just to offend other people sensibilities, like walking around with your pants below you butt, showing your underwear.

Oh come on guys. You don't like it when other people at shows cut your trucks down. And you don't do it to people here that you might know. Ya some of this may not be your taste, but it is someone's taste. Not my taste either but very creative for sure. But I am not a rat rod guy either.

Its still a free country and we have a right to our own opinions. I feel like the person with multicolor hair and more hardware in there face than the local hardware store, they want to be noticed, we're noticing them.

At a local diner I witnessed they asked a man to leave for wearing a tank top shirt but they
had a customer at the counter with large holes and gauges on each side of his nose. I would of rather seen the arm pits than the inside of a guys nasal passage. Maybe he owns one of those cars.

Maybe there should be a FTE rule that anything displayed on the site should be at least 90% Ford
