The question is .... are they chilled?

[half baked]

ice in the sump she'll be right! but it begs the question, what rednecks have got wine? shouldnt it be moonshine?

[bob ward]

Have you noticed that in our crazily PC world, rednecks are about the only group it is still OK to make fun of?

[half baked]

thats because they are probably the only group on earth that defy being categorized by both race and religion.... bob i saw your coupe in Australian Classic Car yearbook by the way

[stffy64]

Just need the back section of the trunk form a hudson to go with the coffee table seen 57 chevy and others being made :)

[jamcoats]

I am having trouble identifying that block... Anyone know?

Oh for Pete's sakes, can't you folks be more politically correct?

"Redneck?, huh?" The correct PC usage is "rustically inclined."

Thank Y'all.

Definitely. And from now on "hillbilly" will be changed to Mountain William. My son-in-law says he wants one of those coffee tables - my daughter told him he'd better make it "comfortable" because he'd be sleeping with it.

if you want to sidestep the PC army give the word "yobbo" a go. its the aus version of hillbilly. its pretty safe to say im a yobbo. take a look around my room and you will find a sump, tools, various mounts, a heater assembly, a cylinder head and electrical junk from end to end. and if you want a change from gang fights on you tube check out "drawn together"

Crikey (is that a good word?), I bet you don't get much, if any, female company in there. :eek:

If your son-in-law likes car furniture that much, your daughter should tell him to make a bed for himself out of a car frame. That'll change his mind. :D

[JP]

Uh.--- I hope that folks know that "rustically inclined" is meant to be a humorous responce to overly PC pressure on how to refer to certain people.

"Hudsonly Inclined" instead of the potentially derogatory "HudNUTS," for example.

i cant even get them as far as my house let alone my room.... maybe thats why the last one ran away?

It's not that he likes car furniture that much - he's an Arky from Arkansas!!! From the NW part of the state in the Ozarks. His greatest ambition - to drive a chicken hauling truck, so my daughter tells me. LOL

Alex, All I can say is...:eek: and that you have my sypathy. :(

Before I got married I had a coffee table I made out of an antique wagon wheel, the kind with the 4-inch iron rim. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to cut the center hole in the plate glass to fit over the hub. I thought it was a work of art...my wife thought it wasn't coming to her house...(up until that point I had naively thought it was our house :p ) Hopefully it went from the garage sale to some poor batchelor's apartment.

that engine block has to be the Buick 215 cubic inch aluminum v8
from the early 60's.
The oldsmobile engine has 6 head bolts around each cylinder while
the Buick and Pontiac version did not have the 6th bolt in the camshaft
valley area.
It may be the Rover version but here in the US those are not very
common engines...especially for us RedNecks!
Don't know how I know about all this useless crap.
Anybody know how to get it out of my head?

[royer]

Cool! Aluminum will be a lot lighter for me to carry upstairs to my pool table room. I thought I was going to have to set it downstairs next to the grand piano...

I'm very lucky to have my wife. I don't think I'd have a problem convincing her we need a coffee table made out of a V-8 - if I really wanted one.

.....now if it was a Hudson block, that's a different story:D

Short of decapitation, a lobotomy or LSD and electro-shock therapy, the only avenue available to you may be killing brain cells with booze? Hope that helps. :rolleyes:

[PaceRacer50]

I hear ya Dave, been trying to drown them brain cells with Russian
dissenfectant but thats a slow-slow process!
I've been hoping that the new crap will push the old crap out but
that hasn't happened.

Given enough time, most people will be lucky if they remember who they are. So, don't worry about having an excess of info. It's the lack of info that's scary.
