How dare you want to create something different to stand out from the norm! And the fact that you don't want to share your ideas, GOSH! Isn't it better for the custom car hobby when everyone has the exact same parts on their car?

OUTKAST · « **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:27:15 AM »

Josh won't share his toys kick him outta the sanbox Mommy

Louis your starting to look like chum in a shark tank

its Josh's and he doesn't have to share

louis · « **Reply #24 on:** August 25, 2010, 11:41:35 AM »

haha sure!! golden boy i guess!!

im aint no shark, love to share what ever i know, that what its all about on a forum,
if your not gonna sell your stuff why not sharing,

that whats so cool about the hotrod scene, everybody help everybody and what wrong with that?

i am not about making a buck, its just a hobby, nothing serious, i have a wicked shop, i have a couple friends that use it to do mechanic, paint, we drink some beer, awesome time..
without them i would be alone in my wicked shop.. boring... sharing is what make the hobby fun!!
just my 2c

josh · « **Reply #25 on:** August 25, 2010, 09:53:48 PM »

Dude easy, I enjoy dreaming up different shit, wanted something that stood out from the rest! You asked if I'd make more to sell, I said sorry but no (Some serious trial and error and definately not economical tech used)
I ain't hiding shit you want to copy my ideas have at 'er!!! Take a big hunk of alum whittle it down with whatever means you have till it looks just like the pics I plaster all over the net. If I was being secretive my shit would be squireled away for nobody to enjoy

And for the record, over the years I don't know how many questions I've answered about stuff I've posted, this is the first time accused of not sharing info, the vw scene rocks......don't know why you're squawking about hot rods?

BTW. Never been called the golden boy....Arab yes golden no

Chris · « **Reply #26 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:15:11 PM »

effin lousy golden boy arab dirtbag still cant drive straight.

louis · « **Reply #27 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:59:45 PM »

im all good.. no worries.. the guy is telling me that iam a shark... aint no shark here, just a whale...
golden boy mean the chosen one...everybody was defending you.. golden boy it is

sorry i turn the post into shit because i didnt want too,... came out wrong...
the post is shit, i was just stoke on your work... and was curious on the technic used, there is no way i can do that quality of work with metal so dont worry im not here to copy your stuff,
just curious on shit is done thats all...

dont take it the wrong way.
