Andy Frost vs Dragweek- Hitler style

[38P]

Drag Week - I'm only in it to spend money.

Feexed it . . . .

Maybe if hotrod sucks so bad you should go read car craft and stop hanging on every move/word of Freiberger and Finnegan...

GTA91, it appears that six of your seventeen posts this January have been bitching about something I wrote (http://www.bangshift.com/forum/searc...archid=3141927 ) I think we get your point . . . .

[GTA91]

Do you ever just STFU? Oh wait... you're a lawyer... guess not.

My name and the type of car I own have been fudged in two separate issues of hot rod. But I really dont give a crap. I have stuff to do so I don't get Hung up on stupid crap. If you spent half as much time working on you car as you do stirring the pot trying to make yourself relevant it would have been done last year.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm just as "relevant" as the next slow "field filler" . . . .

wow...

[38P]

The real questions should be

1. Who gives a crap?

2. Refer to question 1

3. Repeat

Yeah, Slim, you're probably right. Accuracy in journalism is so passe'. Why not just knock back another Corona and appreciate the bitchin workmanship on your '79 Grand Prix . . . .

(Note to the terminally dense: I know that Slimbo's whip isn't a '79 . . . I was merely trying to illustrate a factual error analogous to FINN's screw-up in terms that Mr-I-Don't-Give-A-Crap-About-Accuracy might understand . . .

You may now return to your regularly-scheduled hero worship of those two inebriated SIM CUBE HIVE clowns, DF & FINN . . . .)

1. I'm reasonably certain BC never said it was a '69 (as is printed in HRM). From all the on-line photos, the car started out as an ordinary '72 LeMans. See http://www.streetkingsokla.com/justinshearer_1.html


BC's LeMans in prior livery (it appears to have a '72 Luxury LeMans grille, btw)

BC upgraded it to '70 GTO specs (with lightweight panels . . . I'm unaware of any composite body parts in the '72 LeMans style anyhow, and many '70-'72 LeMans owners have done the same over the years)

2. There is no way to make a '69 look like a '70 without virtually a complete reskin. Pontiac aficionados know (in their sleep) that GM redesigned the Tempest/LeMans/GTO body shell for MY '68, and almost completely reskinned the body for '70. The only interchangeable body panels are the hood and possibly the roof (not sure about the trunk lid). Every other panel does not match .

3. Upgrading a '72 LeMans to look like a '70 GTO is easy. Just change the front clip and the tail lamp lenses. Done.

'72 LeMans


'70 GTO


'69 GTO

4. Cars in Oklahoma don't have "pink slips", they have titles, (which BTW aren't usually "pink")

5. Would it have been so hard to say "Sorry, I was wrong?"

The real questions should be

1. Who gives a crap?

2. Refer to question 1

That video is funny, ... ..

[38P]

Not an expert on Pontiacs so I will ask- could it be a 69 with 70 front end?

No. The fenders are materially different. (see post above)

[38P]

I'm inclined to believe that the owner of the car would have a better idea of what the pink slip of his car states it is than you do. Besides, Discover Channel says the car is a '72 LeMans so you can argue with the network, the man himself and me. That ought to keep you busy for awhile.

carry on..

IIRC The back bumper wraps around like a 1970.

LOL. It is a 70.Oklahoma school district at its finest. No offense to my relatives and friends that live there.Wish it was 1 69 with hideaway headlights.

Not an expert on Pontiacs so I will ask- could it be a 69 with 70 front end? My thinking it Big Chief is a racer- he wants his car light. Hideaway light mechanisms add weight.
