That's effing awesome. Are you guys gonna put it back to its drag glory days?

RRR

 

Somtimes I hate you.

 

wow, nice find

 

I think I'll join the "I hate you" crowd. But I mean it in the most friendly way

 

thats awesome.... I hate you as well.

 

I like it! Nice cowl section too.

 

Any pics of it when raced??

 

No hating here, only love. The lettering on the side might as well say BAD MOTHER ****ER, that's what it is.

 

Okay,.....
I know this aint it,........ but this is a cool shot and might help you stay motivated,...... great find!

 

Thats awesome Drew, How much of the car was there and what are the plans?

 

thats awsome.

what did the Bad Hombre I look like then?

***us

 

He found it, GREAT! I've been sooooooo worried!!
Where did I leave it. I don't know how I could lose something so big.
Did you see my "LOST" posters on the telephone poles?
Tell Hopperstad I'll be over to pick it up.
Of co**** there will be a small finders fee. And I do mean small.

 

Well that one will look good above the office too. AWESOME

 

DAMN!!! That is awesome.

I also was thinking of the Travel Ons 32 when I saw this one. Anybody know if the Travel Ons are still around or the car still exists??

 

Wow, thats a lucky find there.

Great start, looks like a lot of fun.

 

Man, all i can say is DAMN!!

 

you dont need that old used body,ill trade ya for a new one.......haha cool find,,,,,

 

Now THAT is some funny ****! ha ha ha!

 

hahaha mike hop said you can come grab it he did not know it was missing he had to give the guy money but you can have it.

I am not sure what the hopps plans are maybee he will get on here and clue us in. back to the top so the 32 chicagolanders can see it this morning it is a super *****in ride though..

 

Well, yeah Drew, I suppose it's an okay find, if you're into vintage Deuce coupe drag cars and stuff like that

Don't tell anybody how much Hopperstad paid, it would cause a m*** wave of chronic depression.

 

Holy Cow!! That 815 is just loaded with them deuces I didn't see that one on the garage crawl, or was that one on the garage crawl (deuce)series 4 or 5 Great find was that the one in the little barn with the Hairy scary guy by the crib!!!

 

That rules!

 

Thanks Drew for posting the Pic of my big find I did real GOOd i think, Bad Hombe

 

Hey Kerry, that was a bad*** score!

 

my dad ran that beotch in 1970,815 ant got a clue,773out

 

Well that brings back memories!!! That my old car! Yes I rember reading about in the Tribune or Suntimes in 1983/84 ?? I bought it out of chicago from a guy named Oreo. It had a 283 tripower fenderwell style headers three speed manual trans (you could tell the power plant was a transplant) It had a single fibergl*** bucket seat in it all lite tin interior panels. it had a 56 ?? olds or pontiac rear end (I beleive it was a 513 gear??? it was tight) welded to some square steel that slid into the frame and bolted down. Hardtail rear how crazy. Spindle mount front runners a moon tank lexon windows. one of the scarest roll cages I had ever seen. and the brackets for the monoleaf wheelie bar. The guy I bought it from said he would send me a picture he had of it (he never did) It was at the drag strip launch pad standing it on the whellie bars back in the day he thought it was U.S. 30 ??? it had a small block chevy set way back with a tunnel ram 2 fours and an automatic. Oh man I was 17 when I had that car?? I was a stupid kid with no money no parts resources. That was long before the days of ebay and online reproduction websites even the HAMB. It makes me semi ill seeing it again I wish I would have never gotten rid of it. Tell Hopperstadierez I want see I have more stories and info. Jeff

 

So it finally popped up.You talked about it enough Jeff.I was beginning to think you were BS'n me .Yeah you're right,you shouldn't have gotten rid of it.No sweat,keep working on the one you have now.

 

Finally a legitimate bump to a 7 year old *** thread...

I heard through the g****vine that the old Bad Hombre has been drug out of the corner and is sitting on a frame again!
