View Full Version : just doesn't look the same...
SHIFTY4 May 14th, 08, 06:17 PM Well... the JollyRodder might be goin' Bye-Bye this Friday... someone who's interested in takin' it off my hands will be comin' by ta check it out, drive it etc... i got the 600 Eddy carb back on, still waitin' fer UPS with the lg body HEI to swap in it... in the meantime i picked up a hood and installed it at the request of the future possible owner... the velocity stack wouldn't clear the hood so that's stayin' in my possession. i installed a std chrome air cleaner for the guy...

if the deal goes through i'll be full speed ahead completeing the '64 Freeway "FLYER Special"... if it doesn't go through i'll list it on Craigslist or whatever and see what goes there...
so, this is a tenative "Good-Bye" to the JollyRodder ;)
Johnny (i'll be OK) with it goin' to a new home ;)
David_H May 14th, 08, 09:28 PM Wow to see the motor in the shade is strange its so use to the sun :D
Johnny I must say I am looking forward to getting the 64 done but will miss the 65:o:cool:

Nwayne May 15th, 08, 05:15 AM I hate to see ya sell it, but I hear it may be going to a good home and a good guy! But I can't wait to see the Flyer finished!
G_2 May 15th, 08, 08:02 AM Johnny I hope everything works out for ya on the jolly rodder. She is a sweet looking long roof.
raidmagic May 15th, 08, 11:24 AM Man I'm gonna miss that car and you're right it doesn't look the same without the velocity stack.
SHIFTY4 May 15th, 08, 12:37 PM Yeah the guy who's interested is certainly a "ChevyII" guy so i know it'll be at a good place... i'm hopin' ta get Dave off his lazy a$$ and have him help me with the Flyer... if i can make it, i'd like to be done in time to maybe drive it to Las Vegas ta hook up with Jeff & Tania for a Lil' vacation, then drive it to the annual So-Cal BBQ in September but i'm not going to be rushing anything, heck it's been 7 years now i think since this project was started... no sense in rushing now.
thanks for all the well wishes everyone ;)
nova64000 May 15th, 08, 08:17 PM Whoever buys it is going to get a nice cruiser...
1qwikss May 16th, 08, 11:24 PM hey johnny, i saw a pic of it at the other place i guess on it's way out.

SHIFTY4 May 17th, 08, 01:46 AM hey, it's all in fun so i don't mind... of course i used ta get in trouble as a kid for "not minding" :eek:
