Read this site on and off for the last year or so but always too busy to get stuck in. Got a few projects, but the main one is PROJECT BEAUTY 'PALA - my 1964 Chevy Impala SS coupe in the process of a full body off. I'm going trad lowrider with 100 spoke wires, HoK metalflake and factory vinyl bucket seat interior. If you read Classic American magazine then you'll be familiar with the project as it's documented every month through its pages. I'm curse word at posting up pics but have a few tasters on photobucket right now. Many more to come. This is a dream project for me so I'm not rushing: AS I BOUGHT IT:   BODY OFF AND BARE METAL:  CHASSIS:  SHOT BLASTED, NEW FLOORS, NEW QUARTER, LOTS OF PANEL STRAIGHTENING:  SHARING BODYSHOP WITH PAINTER'S '59 CATALINA KUSTOM:  Other cars include my trusty '67 1500 VW Beetle (had it since I was 16), daily hack multi-colour Merc W123 200T auto and a recently acquired 1973 Ford Taunus Coupe GXL (mk3 German Cortina fastback with 2-litre V6 Cologne and manual trans - v kitsch). |

SIX-FO'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May I add:
Well I'm Eazy E the one they're talkin about
person of colour tried to roll the dice and just crapped out
Police tried to roll, so it's time to go
I creeped away real slow and jumped in the six-fo'
Wit the "Diamond in the back, sun-roof top"
Diggin the scene with the gangsta lean
Cause I'm the E, I don't slang or bang
I just smoke curse word like it ain't no thang
And all you bitches, you know I'm talkin to you
"We want to curse word you Eazy!" I want to curse word you too
Cause you see, I don't really take no curse word
[So let me tell you curse word who you're curse word with]
Cause I'm the type of person of colour that's built to last
If you curse word wit me, I'll put my foot in your ass
I don't give a curse word, cause I keep bailin
Yo, what the curse word are they yellin?
