Guy Transforms His Chevy Truck Into A Shark Car​


Mar 27, 2024 — 2 min read

Something seems a little fishy about this one…​

There are land yachts and then there’s this Chevy truck transformed into a shark car. It looks kind of like those toys little kids play with, only it’s life-size and you can roll around town in it while people stare and literally get into crashes. It’s not everyday you see a 24-foot-long arrow boat joined to a truck, let alone a Chevy.

"The XP-755 concept car, also known as the Mako Shark, was designed by Larry Shinoda under the direction of General Motors Styling and Design head Bill Mitchell in 1961, as a concept for future Chevrolet Corvette production cars. In keeping with the name, the streamlining, pointed snout, and other detailing was partly inspired by the sleek, fast-moving shortfin mako shark."

Like the old bad joke goes something like....
One fisherman says to the other.... This morning my wife said if I went fishing one more weekend in a row she was going to leave..

I suppose I will eventually miss her...
 
My grandfather took me fishing when I was little, like 4-10 years old, sometimes my older brother too. That brother and I went fishing together too when we got older. My LH had fished when he was younger. We attempted when at the Outer Banks too but that was a hilarious fish tale # fail.
I really thought this was that kind of thread.

....Fish Tails.... One time many years ago I went fishing in a lake in the Black Hills of South Dakota.. There was an old guy there catching newly released trout from a hatchery.. They were just the right size to stack in a pint canning jar after cleaned.. So I helped him fill his bucket with fish..

He said he cold pack filled a pint jar with fish
1/2 t salt
2 T catsup
10 drops hot sauce
Fill the jar with peanut oil
Pressure can the recommended pressure and time for fish
Let sit 30 days in the cool, dark, dry basement..
Saying they come out like canned sardines, but with much more flavor..

I've always wanted to try this...
 
An age old question it seems...
There is never enough money in the family budget for a new fishing reel...
But the toilet gets a new carpet and rug 3-4 times a year..

Only have 2 words to say
Hear these words of wisdom from a lifer with 30 years in
Think about them and volunteer to go to the store
"Cash back."
 
This morning about 1/2 hour before sun up

Same spot about 1/2 hour after sun up

I found a dog leg off the river that run for 100 yards then connected back
Someone has dammed up 5 small pools along that dog leg
It is fished out but I bet after a good rain
Here is the first pool

I always wanted to build an over sized pontoon boat and live out my life as a river rat.
 
I thought about this when I was installing 20" pvc storm drains

All you need is pipe, 2 caps and 1-45 bend per pontoon

And they make a bracket called a riser clamp. Also know as a floor clamp
That bolts to the pipe and has ears that can be bolted to a structure
But. Be advised ******big pvc pipe uses a different glue than the medium body glue at the hardware store********
Just thought I would toss that out there
 
I lived at sea for almost 5 years. Tuna. I can't bear to look at it any more. Cans...okay....

I'd catch a tuna...cut out all the steaks...freeze'm...use the rest for bait. Catch a tuna...make steaks...compare them to the other ones in the fzr...and use the lesser ones as bait...to catch a tuna...so I could sort out the best steaks. Freeze'm...use the rest as bait. Aaaaaahhhhh!!!! Great time, though. South Pacific is gorgeous......

When we go deep sea fishing we take an extracooler with a case of Budweiser in it

Pul up next to a shrimp boat and negotiate
99% of the time they do not speak English but we still communicate
I point at nets
Point at the beer in the cooler
Big grin
They girn
Yes yes
Fill the cooler
Man they have given us prawns as big as your hand.
