Hey my friend Pete! I just wanted to wish you best of luck with the new show! Your vids are great and I watch them as often as I can. This may be the 15 minutes of fame you're lookin for!? Or is it....hmmmm? Only time will tell. Of course it will be a pain in the ass, what isn't? Take care and enjoy the ride. Keep up the good hard work and remember everything will work out for the best! Your friend Ozz
You'll be fine Pete, your a real guy, and this won't change you a bit..I'll watch your show..I'm new to your vids, but they'er fantastic. I'm hooked, plus I'm a body man, so I'm learning alot. Jim
i dont understand pete if it was that special to you then why are you fucking cutting it! why fucking cut something that was so dear to you? obviously its not special to you because you going to or already cut it so quit your whining and bullshit pete you made this situation pete
Pete what the fuck!! If it don't feel wright its not!! If you turn your car into a desk your an ass!! Good luck dude. Don't fucking sell out to the man
Heres my two cents worth.....ANY TRUE OLD FRIEND...has your back at all times, and you his !!! SO I say do the desk and do the show (yer Future) and YOU KEEP the back half for later....when you are even more "FAMOUS" then YOU CAN FIX HER BACK UP,YOU can can can can do that and be the winner at the end of the track. Its like she's takin a bullet fer ya bud!!! That said, I DO UNDERSTAND THE HORRIBLE TRAUMA THAT YER FEELIN but as they say in the bizz "THE SHOW MUST GO ON" My Friend Pete MUST go on!
Why not use the other frontend and Fab up a frontclip to hang the bumper. That's a nice car with good metal. Slap that og paint skeem back on it and put it in the front yard
@rustbucketchev Yes! I am serious, this is a serious situation here! Do you really think I want to cut this car up? Ive had this thing for a long time, at one time I used to have over 100 cars in my back yard, and this was the one I always went and sat in at lunch time to take my breaks in to sit around and think back to the good ole days.. Yeah Im serious........
Offer to sell him your desk. Make another one for your self. build the car with your friends. More memories. A guy wanting a car desk isn't to particular of what kind of car it is.
Well Pete, me and my 58 Plymouth Belvedere...4 door sedan...aren't too happy right now. Seems like if a vintage car has 4 doors...it's just not desireable. Hell or high water, my 58 is staying in one piece. I haven't started restoring it yet either. I think a different front end should be found.....Just sayin'.......Cheers man!
@thisisunreal1 I agree. why arent 4 doors just as desirable?? it wont be long that they will be valuable because their just wont be any 2 doors left, if we keep cutting up the 4 doors there wont be any of those either. I have 2 door and 4 door classic cars i do not discriminate!
@thisisunreal1 the 4dr's are getting more popular everyday, because thats all thats left out there to find.... If the car woud have been restorable, I wouldn't have cut the frontend off, I would have got it running and drove it.. Believe me it really hurts to cut this one up.
@GasserGlass Glad to hear everything is back to normal over in fiberglass land, be looking for upcoming videos of fiberglassing with My Friend Pete...
Thats a shame pete, but the real shame is that this will probably incourage more people to cut good collectible cars up. But then i suppose if thats what it takes to get to were you want to go then so be it.
The Dodge is talking Pete. It's saying either save me or put me out of my misery from being parked for so long. If i cant go through my gears on the way to get your best girl and go to a drive in movie then id rather be dead. I was designed to move at 120 mph. Siting here is killing me. Thats the automobile talking, the work of art that it allready is. I know you will regreat it if you cut it.But we do what we have to. Hopefully there is another way to save it. Either way it's a Great Video!
I lost my best friend of 6 years last year and sold it. I'm still sick of it..it was nothing special..2002 chevy hd 2500 xtend cab truck..why I sold it is beyond me. I could still kick my own ass for selling. It's almost a tear jerker.....no kidding..I loved my truck....Damn #$%%$%#@% I am stupid
You will survive pete but I think you should be glad the car doesn't talk it might say "You should be shot" I think someone said that about you cutting up a 56 caddy one time.I think it was that old click bum.
@DEATHTRAPHOTRODS Id rather shoot my self than have to cut a perfectly good 57 Dodge runing or not. It deserves to be in a musem. im just glad its not on my head.
Awesome vid Pete,... just like always,.....and it wouldnt be the first time you gave up something you would rather keep,we all got those storys to share,thanks for taking the time to make your vids,for keeping it real and sharing something of what you gotta sacrifice sometimes,in order to move forward,we are all tuned in here and on the same page.
STOP cutting up classics. They don't make them anymore. I hate when people cut up CLASSIC cars. Yes Classic car should get in the way. I am crying over Classic cars being cut up. What a shame. Soon there will be no more classic car.
Pete i feel your pain .i had to give up my land cruiser,chevy plow truck,and an opel i ran in high school .rust never sleeps .have fun don't look back
I would never give up something that meant so much to me!
everything has a price, and u will pay my sentimental value or u will not own a piece of my life!
like an old spray gun from the 60s my great grandfather gave to me, there is not another one like it in the world! (to me), my grandfather used that gun!
now, it would take a lot of money IF somebody wanted that gun! $10,000? maybe if I was a bum, $100,000? that would put both my kids threw college...
well pete i think everyone has an old car that they never want to let go, but who knows maybe one day you'll find another that can bring that old girl back to working order. just wish my old man would do something with his 55 chevy that has been in his garage ever since i was in elementary school.
Pete, I know what your going through I had so say goodbye to my Oldsmobile Ninety Eight that had been in the family for 20 years. My father past it on to my brother then my brother passed it on to me. It's difficult to let go of the car you love as a friend but treated as a family member. It a relationship that not many people understand. If I had the knowledge and the tools at the time I would have tried to save her. Which is why I started watching you. Thanks Pete don't let old memories die.
You just don't see cars like that anymore. The lines, the patina, what a cool car to have left as is and just got running and drove or even fix up. I love those old 50's cars. And they're becoming fewer and fewer. (Sorry, I'm not making you feel any better am I)
lousy situation on your end... the people making it will make money, the people airing it will make money, some guy will get a desk, all the while you are the one who is making the sacrifice and doing the work to get paid probably the smallest amount they were willing to offer. I think there are definitely better avenues to take to get on TV where you don't have to sacrifice something most people won't understand. And also keep the people who do understand.
@defilogik Ya know I watch all Pete's videos, probably his biggest fan in Colorado, and I very rarely leave comments, but this time I must say something. I agree with you 100%. It's always the guy that does the most work that gets screwed, the sacrifices only come from the small guy that makes the small wages, thats how the rich get rich, they leach off us small guys to make their fortune. I wish the best for my friend pete in all aspects of life.
@bigbillybeer Hey Thanks man.... you are out in Colorado, I am out in Phoenix, our friend Pete is in Texas... Is there anyone we know collectively that could get OFP onto TV? I know a news anchor woman who just went out to Texas for the news... couple people who were in a couple other movies... don't chop up your dreams, values, or morals or cars to be on TV when TV itself has wrecked so many people... anyone want my name to FB me PM me lets see if we can't help him out.
That is sad. I remember growing up in a small house. be sad to live in that house today. But i was happy back then. I know what you mean. God thats got to be a expensive ass desk. I would have bondo all over that car and be blocking and blocking. take it easy Jeff
@swrnc id fill that whole desk up with bondo if i could to save that ride. dont do it Pete make the shit front end he bought work. hide yours and tell him this is the good one. put a bucket full of bondo on it. he wont know for a year or two. knock the price down some. that will make him happy. it looks like to good a car to cut. 57 was a great year for all cars. find a way around it.
There will be other cars, Pete. It's just a 4-door, and a perfect candidate for scrapping for parts and making a desk out of. You're doing the right thing...
Good job Pete! Good luck with your decision! I'd chop it if it were me, but I've had such a crappy couple of weeks - it's just the mood I'm in brother!
pete,i have had a 71 nova over 20 year's,i started tubing it 15 years ago,an never finished it,we have hald this car around over the years,an one day me an my wife got in a dispute about the car an she said its me or the car ans i told here to LEAVEthe car will not leave,the car it still in a storage place, an she is still here too,i would have made her leave but the car would have NEVER left.thank's for all the video's, i WILL be starting work on the nova this summer.
@ghtowagon Yeah poor ole Hobo Guy, He's reallly pissed of at me right now, I had to go buy him a bottle of wine to cool his jets, as long as he can still crawl in his old car and feel at home he'll be ok.. We need to check up on ole hobo guy, it's been awhile since we've seen him,
I wouldn't chop the car. I would put primer on it, put a car cover over it, put it on some jack stands and keep it forever. let swampy have it, let someone who will restore it HAVE it, it's a lovely vehicle, it's a great looking vehicle, and it looks almost complete exterior wise. i would keep it and sell off the other batch of classics and keep the one that brings you back to your childhood..money can't do that
if the car can talk, it would have some interesting things to say, all the genres of music it's been thru, all the the different fashions it's seen, all the people it drove around. money cannot replace memories, If it was truly in my hands and I had that GUT feeling..
Dude... This a sad situation. You'll find a replacement front end eventually, Pete. I'm glad you're not parting out the rest of the car or scrapping it. I hope we can see you restore that vehicle to its former glory in future videos.
