response to ernies editorial

your building it...your work is in it...yourr not showing what a shop did thats just my opinion...and what do i know i dont work at a shop i dont put out any videos i dont print a mag....

My one and only beef is with people who buy a ride and take credit for the work. Other then that, I don't care I just want to see awesome minis.

I'm just saying if it ends up in a guy or girls hands and he takes the time to do good for the scene and not make a jackass out of himself and make us all look bad then good on them for buying. I see two trucks being built at the end vice one.... first the old owner has the cash to work on his new project and the new guy will hopefully hang out with people in the scene that will inspire him or her to make it a little more there own....so like I said two more trucks in a small scene is better than one lone ranger out there on cruise nite in a sea of hot rods, rat rods, and import tuners...( no pun on all those cultures cause they all have something to ofter)

WRONG sorry I don't care what anyone says about someone taking a truck to shop to have it done. There is nothing wrong with it. That is the dumbest arguement in the world. I may not have built my truck but I was working full time and lots of overtime to fund it. SO technically just like Ernies article says MY blood and my life went into my truck just like I did it myself. That pisses me off when people say ohhh well you had someone else do all the work. SOOOOO WhAT....

i havent read the article but im just gonna say this.

building something is always a better feeling because you know every bit of that vehicle, inside and out, etc, having one built for you by a shop or buying one already built from someone is the same thing, it just takes longer to get into a groove with the truck. dont matter dude. we all share a passion, dont matter if it took you 5 years to enjoy that passion(building a truck) or one day to enjoy it(buying a truck).

couldn't have put it into better words

it all depends on how you look at it. i recently took a truck on a trade and being the minitrucker i am had to redo every inch if the fuckin thing to my standards. redos are harder than starting from scratch. but who get s the credit the kid that hacked it up or the veterin that took the time to perfect it? it happens all the time. people calling people out on shit. half the trucks these days are hacked to no end.

another thing that gets me is all the bashing about buying a truck done is the people who are doing it. the same guy talking shit down the road trys to sell his project truck or finished truck but cant. why? because he dug his own grave, talked shit and put the buyers down for years. so in the end he ruined the market he is selling to.

ernie is 100 percent correct hot rodders and muscle car guys would never say shit to some one about buying a finished vehicle.

its the new generation of minitruckers that are jerk offs and have no respect for a scene they didnt even create.

i ve been building trucks for my self and customers since 1996 and in the last few years i have seen it all go down hill.

i have redone so many hacked up trucks that makes every one look bad. it one thing to do something and have knowledge and do things right. it s another to buy a welder at homodepot and destroy and truck or even worse get killed because you are clueless.

i have seen broken notches, bag mounts, four links ripped right off, twisted frames, stock floors half welded, rims rewelded in multiple spots, i can go on and on.

im not in any way saying you shouldnt build your truck your self, but i am saying is think about your future and how safe your truck really is?

what i dont agree with is rich boys that pay to get a truck built and sink 40k in a mini, join a nation wide club and bad mouth the shit out of every one whos doenst have a perfect truck like they do , or is nt in their truck club. daddy also funded them to start a buisness and their own forum to bash even more. who needs people like this? def not our scene.

we are all intitled to our opinions, but i can say that when i read that article i saw where he was coming from.

I remember when mini's were fun before all the politics came into play.

Yeah I'm paying to have work done. Do I care what you think? NO. Fuck you.

I'm gonna finish my truck, show it, and throw back some cold one's with my friends.

Why does a sandwich always taste better when someone else makes it?
