    Newbie here.....where is all the action for Dallas or North Texas? I'm checkin' out the HAMB daily and it seems nothing is going on here. Nothin' on the event Cal for like months for this area. It seems like everything goes on up north. What's the deal? Do Texas HAMBers not get together?:confused:

    Go here.

    Not a lot goes on here during the summer... I'm guessing because it's 100 degrees (even though the humidity only gets up to about 89.3% :rolleyes: ).

    There's more going on in the fall. There's Pistons & Paint (Denton-Novemberish?), The Kustom Kings have a deal in Dennison in the Fall (can't remember the date), and a lotta people go to the KKOA thing in Dennison (last weekend in October.)

    Some clubs get together every week or two... you might check into clubs if you can make the commitment.

    Things will pick back up in the fall when it cool enough to go outside.

    Hey Big Tony
    My first "classic" vehicle was a '54 Chevy pickup. Pulled it from a barn in Missouri in two feet of snow. Had to use to trucks "trained" together to get it out. Now I have a '53, 2-'50's, and a '64.

  15. I am building a '64 and have a '54 waiting in the wings.

    Chevrolets of course. ;)

    All we need is a date set, a place, and a time. Just being a GTG doesn't require registration, trophies, etc.

    I'd be more than happy to host a bi-weekly or monthly get together at my shop in Wylie. Sounds far to alot of people but it's just outside of Plano, Garland, Rowlett....
    Also be happy to let people use the shop space and tools (withen reason) during the meets. I've been interested in getting something together for awhile now, just seemed that no one was sparked...:rolleyes:

    It's great to see DFW'ers talking! However, the up northers want to run something up North and where ever you other guys are talking isn't central either. We should focus on something cen-trahl to get maximum turnouts. But thats just the 2 pesos of a newbie who's truck is currently even on the road...or at the house for that matter:D

    Hey, here's an idea. How about a floating meeting place. Every month, or bi-weekly, weekly...WHATEVER.....we meet at a different location. One meet we could do at a shop, the next meet we do at BigKen's place, the next meet would be at my father-in-laws place (he needs an engine put back in his 66:D ) and he has lot's of space, 3 or 4 acres. A GTG to B/S but also help each other out and learn:confused: . Learn??!, that's right, learn. There's always something new to learn....be it right or wrong;)
