boop coupe (aka boop coupe) [ View ] [ frank8142@verizon.net ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] clarksville, Maryland  Frank Jones

The wife is trying hard to have me put a Betty Boop ( about 7 inches) on the trunck of our boop-coupe with "Boop Coupe" under it. There is a guy "Jack of Arts" that does that kind of stuff. Talk about ear-marking a car. Also she is trying hard for me to add a tablespoon of black to 6 oz. of our torch red and shooting ghost flames on the front fenders. I am good at drawing flames and have been cosidering doing this but the betty has to go...

If you did, would the wife notice it was a magnet? I'm with Don, get some Betty floor mats. That way you can turn them over when she's not around so your buddies don't give you too much crap, LMAO. Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by hotrod37  -  08/18/2008 03:04 PM Look for a magnet or maybe even a decal but you could do a license plate or a small sign (cut out in Betty shape with "BOOP COUPE" on bottom). That should make her happy without putting anything directly on the car. hotrod37 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Morgantown, Indiana   Posted by tlp1968  -  08/18/2008 04:16 PM I am with the guys on this one....no Betty.

LOL Don't do the black in the Torch red, maybe just add a pinch of firemist and keep the color the same. Still driving the wife's car, cause I am slow.

Do a magnetic sign. You can have one made at any local sign shop. I have a few for Construction vehicles, they work great. Streetrodder007 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Port Huron, Michigan Charter Member since April 2006   Posted by dakotah  -  08/19/2008 08:33 AM Wife and I have agreement-she does what she wants with her car-I do what I want with my 2 cars and motorcycle. Which by the way,I installed those Race Ready electric exhaust cutouts(Jegs $516 for complete kit) A bit pricey but went on easily and are pretty neat. dakotah [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Port Richey, Florida   Posted by q1ap  -  08/19/2008 08:40 AM Your wife might have a good idea.................................

I don't want Betty in MY car, but MrBud's is pretty cool! Aren't we all glad that there's enough in our little street rodding world that we don't all have the same car? Hey MrBud, you may get a little ribbing from your buddies from time to time but it's all in how you handle it, right? I get plenty of ribbing for 11 kids! Its sure as hell not for everyone but it's how I enjoy my life, so the ribbing is taken as a compliment! Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by MrBud  -  08/21/2008 12:53 PM Thanks 31tudor don't get as much ribbing as you would think .Street rodding is Indivual expression .With 11 kids Looks like you didn't spend all your nights in the garage. Don't think painting one on the outside is the answer i wouldn't .Have seen some with differant sences or Elvis or Maryiln on them. Seems those would be hard to sell later if you wanted to needed to.
