Purple People Eater

This is my first Street Rod Liberation Front project.  I was telling my friend Chris the other day that one day when I have a bunch of money I am going to buy old cars that people have spent thousands of dollars on ruining them with billet everything, and spending $10,000 on gay ass purple paint.  Then I am going to take these cars and make real hot rods out of them.  Hence the name Street Rod Liberation Front.  It's gonna be so rad.  I can see it now getting death threats from the National Street Rod Association.  Yesterday some guy told me that the NSRA has a higher class of people.  Higher than who I wonder.  Is he saying that if I spend $100,000 and ZERO hours to have my car built I am a better person than if I spend $5000 and 1,000,000 hours building it myself and then don't paint it purple???  Fuck That!  Anyway back to the project.  It's not a street rod and it doesn't have a bunch of money into it.  But it is purple.  I bought it off of a Hippy in Frisco.  Don't get me started on Hippies.  He took decent care of it and had it forever.  It was pretty unmolested, which is good.  He really thought it was a killer bike.  I couldn't break his heart and tell him all the things I hated about it, which is the reason I want to buy it.  That way it's easier to chop the hell out of it and not feel bad.  Here are the pictures.
