Irish and you may recall “chopped & channeled”, “rolled & pleated” with our cars too. I personally preferred Turnpike Cruiser skirts over Bubbles)

While I never got to do it, I know the “foot feed” old timers of my day also knew how to use the spark advance and hand choke, which I did use. Those same folks laughed at us when they saw us add the Continental Kits being added to get the spare outside after they had finally gotten it in the trunk. Just like they did to see us put “four on the floor” after they had worked to get it up on the column. ROFLMAO

The cycle of pride is a fact as your “store bought” has become out ranked by “hand made” today. LOL


One of my funniest ‘proper’ memories is of an underarm deodorant TV commercial that pictured a rotating statue of Myrons’ Discobolos, or The





Discus Thrower, with a sensors spot the poped up on the statue when the





armpit came into view. Such inappropriate exposure was not acceptable. LMAO.

Yep. Times are a changing…………… even when it’s backwards all over again.

Thanks BarDog

PF---My favorites,were criuser skirts also.I do remember"chopped & channeled" &"rolled & pleated"The biggest thing that I don't like about motor-
cycles anymore,is that nothing is homemade(Therefore,not really a custom)
Q:What was a column shift called?
A:Three on the tree! Irish
P.S.Do you remember Ansen conversion floor shifts?I had one in my custom
'55 Ford.My buddy gave it to me & it was free,so I used it,instead of a Hurst
conversion.I "still" have a Hurst "T" handle,in my garage.
