Default Where is the Ratrod/Workshop/Bebop Girls Thread?!?

I'm at my wit's end - I've searched every conceivable variation to try and find a thread from within the last three months showing alot of rat rods, workshop scenes, and girls done up in 40's style clothing, hair and makeup - to no avail. Will someone please help me find it?! From memory (and I could be confusing another thread here, so don't take it as gospel), I recall something about a guy wanting to photshop a XW era Falcon into a workshop scene for a proposed mural, which then skewed the thread towards rat rods, bop girls, and the cars associated with that culture? There were also a few links to other websites (culture/cars/photographers/...) that people also posted for additional info anf pics. Despite my best efforts, I cannot find the thread, and the woman who asked to see it has gone home dejected?!

Yep, thats not it. The thread I was referring too, specifically asked people to keep it clean, and not spoil it for anyone - I'll be buggered if I can find it though.

thats the one LimeGlaze was looking for, i reckon its been removed.
The one i posted was another - similar, but better - thread on another forum, that i posted the link to so if he wanted a fix of pin-up girls and cool cars, he could get one there

I remember that thread (fondly : )

I too have just spent a bit of work time trying to track it down.

As suspected it has been removed from public view after someone went too far and spoiled it for all. What remains can be found in the restricted area that can be accessed only by Donating Members (link is to DM details, not the DM_forum).

Worth signing up for this thread alone if you like ogling pinup girls :

Note: The DM forum has more relaxed rules in terms of what can and can't be posted and additional content as an added benefit.

Yeah, I searched your post history XWildGT, but couldn't find it, and I'm not desperate enough to take the steps needed to see it again - I actually mentioned it a friend I'm building a car for and she was interested to see it - oh well, I'll send her the kill billet link, and she can get a few ideas from there. Thanks to those who relied with info.

The rules are a little more relaxed in the DM area as it's not public viewing.
