But have no fear, he is still around!!!

[George UK]

Sorry no.
I live in Wales, its a seperate country from England.
I was originally from Liverpool, England.
Home of the Beatles you know.  "Yeh yeh"

Jim: we hardly had any snow this year and the garage will be open today.

George: Stampie started the http://www.modifiedcadillac.org TARGET=_blank>www.modifiedcadillac.org chapter so most of the troublemakers hang out over there now. There is one condition for membership, you have to have a post get deleted here at the motherboard first, then you are an official bad boy and can start building your slightly modified Cadillac with a front disc brake conversion, HEI upgrade, custom paint job, etc.

[George UK]

Yes I get it.
I dont believe in censorship either.

[Porter 21919]

George,

More of a tongue in cheek joke, the moderators have to use their disgression when it comes to deciding what is appropriate content here on the forum.

They do a good job and there are rules and regulations pertaining to the message boards.

We all prefer factory cars, some of them are too far gone to justify that type of restoration , any type of modification that can be reversed really does no harm to the car.

The modified chapter is just an addition to the CLC, we are all the same when it comes to Cadillacs. Some of us are just wealthier than others or like to tinker with our cars, or have no interest in trophies.

You have to start pushing the envelope, strike a nerve.

For a wimpy post delete try the buy/sell board and dont include a $$$.

LOL,

[Steve Crum, FORMER CLC#20999]

Or better yet mention curb feelers!

[John #22631]

Or even better yet, open your big mouth (or keyboard) and bash someone without knowing the whole story, like I did. It lasted about 3 hours before it was struck down.

I still say that crow tasted lousy. But sometimes you just have to say your sorry, and be a man!!

Steve, Ive brought up curb feelers, opera lights, continental kits, leopard skin interiors, gangsta wides, bug shields and every other kind of cheesy, tacky customization and have still been denied the deleted posts to which Im entitled.

Actually, if I could find enough real leopard skin, I would definitely do up the interior in my 59.

[Porter 21919]

Fred,

You missed all the fun a few years ago, Mix Romero was looking for flamethrowers for his 96 Cadillac and somebody posted an eBay listing for the infamous "Cincinnati Bullet", a 59 SDV with a cyclops fin on the tailgate, way over the top too funny.

Both of which threads were deleted, and the Tassie Devil(le) of Tasmanian fame was in on the action bigtime, besides myself.

[John #22631]

Fred,
If you put leapord skin in a 59 Cadillac, Ill figure out a way to delete you and I have NO power at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John

[John #22631]

THAT, Had to be the thread of all threads.

[Porter 21919]

We were having too much fun and the moderators had to put a stop to it, violation of the message board rules.

Im digging up a picture of the "Cincinnati Bullet" and will post it at the modified chapter, brace yourself and please sit down, by all means.

The other classic is when they graft the 59 fins on to another car, and those hideous couches, outta be a law against those morons. Like fins sticking out of the front of the couch are safe, wheres Ralph Nader when you need him.

[Porter 21919]

AKA 59 SDV tailfin cyclops, pictures are up at the Modified Chapter, I found them in the database.

Brace yourself, not for the feint of heart, view at your own risk.

[Fred Garfield 22310]

I seriously considered the flame throwers for my 59, but had to reluctantly let them go. Too close to the gas tank and in my area totally illegal. Harley Earl would have loved them!

Thanks for the cyclops exhibit. As Higgins would say, its flawlessly vulgar!

[Fred Garfield 22310]

LOL! And not just leopard skin, but loud jungle sounds on the horn circuit.

[Porter 21919]

Glad you enjoyed it Fred.

"Come on down" anytime if you have any modifications in mind, or want to talk shop or have a good laugh.

My new project is a 67 CDV ( 45k miles ?)offered to me for free , it runs great but has some rust issues,(many of which have been dealt with already and all new brakes) great Rat Rod material, custom paint low rider,the "Evil Sister" car to my nice proper factory restored 66 CDV, "Cadzilla".

Stampie keeps pushing for ghost flames on the 67.
