Thanks, I worked really hard to get it done. Got a little (and I mean VERY little) help from Tony (the b/f). Still got a few little things to do on the interior.....but other than that, I think I'm just about done.. I have all the flaps (front and rear). The guy I got the BRAT from just sorta tore them off the car (metal and all). So, I need to figure out a way to get the torn metal off of the brackets where the bolts are, 'cause they are rusted together, and then figure out how to bolt them back on when there is nothing there (on the car) to bolt them to. I didn't get too serious about replacing missing metal and stuff when I did the work. I'll probly be sorry for that later.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanthompson Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Congrats! You SO need to make a tray of brownies, fill a cooler with beer and take that truck to the drive-in theater. I did that with my split gate the other day and there is something wonderful about sitting in your Sube, watching B-Movies. But with a BRAT, you actually have seats to face the screen! I love it.

Bryan Now THAT my friend, is an excellent idea. Brownies and Beer!! I haven't been to a drive-in movie for so many years I can't even remember when it was. I do remember "making out" with some cute guy though. I think the movie we were supposed to be watching was "Carrie". DANG!! I'm OLD:eek: Thanks a bunch for reminding me......(J/K) Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the blue Packard. Now that's a car for the drive-in Carrie and Dawn of the Dead were the last movies I saw at our drive-in before they tore it down. You did a great job on the BRAT! Awesome... keep her well! Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I buy this at an auto parts store? I'm assuming it's the same thing as the old "Knock er Loose" that we use to use right?? I had forgotten all about Billy Jack..:cool: He's my hero hmmm... was that you in the car in front of us? We were in the blue Packard. Now that's a car for the drive-in Coulda been, maybe, I'm not admittin' to anything. Dawn of the Dead ! BRAINS !!!!!! [Offtopic]I've NEVER been to a drive-in movie theatre before [/Offtopic Tell ya what...you fly on over and we'll go to a drive-in. You'll have to bring your own make-out partner 'cause you're waaaaaay too young for me. We'll sit in the back of the Brat, and I'll even provide the Brownies and Beer thanks to everyone for the kind words.....Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanthompson Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Bobby- Seeing your BRAT and thinking about Drive-Ins got me inspired. I put out a call for a San Diego Retro-Car Drive In Movie Night this weekend on myspace and I've already got 15 people coming!!! We have everything from my 73 Splitgate Wagon to an Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Can you believe that? You and everyone else are welcome to come on down Saturday night at 800. The South Bay Drive In SD. Here is a link: http://bulletin.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=bulletin.read&messageID=1597419173&MyToken=5541687f-d705-4be9-a990-a1f85418d015 Cheers!

Ahhh, the Vista Cruiser. My dad had a '56 Mercury wagon, and my older brother would drive us to the movies, and we'd sit on the roof. I'd love to be there but it's a little far for me to go or I'd be there will bells on. My heart will be there with you all though.. You should call and let me know what movie you're watching....pm'd you my number. Have a beer or three for me:drunk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
