Thanks Ryan for letting me part of it. Hope to see ya all at Louisville.

Flat top bob, thanks for a great auction, you are truly a friend of the HAMB, tell Norm thanks.

Ahhh.. Cool Whip must be the secret to these skulls!

But it seems it must be French Vanilla.

 

WOW! What an exciting auction!

Thanks to Norm and Flat Top Bob.

Congratulations Doc! Your generosity is outstanding, as is that of all the bidders. Youse guys are a class act, and the HAMB is well served because of it.

So, will this treasure get to ride, or will it be sequestered to a glass box on the mantle?

Good job!!!

 

Congrats Doc,....Hail the Skull Master.

 

Congratulations Doc.

 

Just a little update.
Bob just called and he is out in California on vacation. His computer fried where he's at. He has no way on logging on and giving any kind of instruction to Doc. As soonas he is able , he will be online.

 

great job doc, 40vert,and dd youse guys are my heros!!!

Slick,

This skull will see lots of road miles. My '33 is about three months from completion (fingers crossed) and the HAMB SKULL will be riding shotgun with me. I've been pretty silent about the '33 since I'm not doing most of the work myself, but I promise it will be HAMB worthy. Sneak preview: '33 C-dan with 2" chop and 4" channel running on an original boxed frame. Blown injected flatty (see my avatar)built by Uncommon Engineering, 4" drop front end with a Winters quick change in the rear, mounted on a buggy spring, 12 spoke spindle mount Americans up front, and 10"x15" Halibrands out back. I designed all of the guages with a funky twist, and the rear view mirror is from a P-51 Mustang (thanks Bluto). Savage made the steering wheel and it is a work of art. Wait till you see the taillights I made for it. There is not an inch on this car that I have not thought about for years.
I know this thread is worthless without pics, but they will be coming shortly.

Doc.

 

by shorty do you mean a few minutes??? and congrads on a great auction!!!!U R DA MAN !!!

 

Just an unbelievable deal. Congrats DOC! I hope at one point I get to meet ya and shake your hand for the stepping up that you and the other guys did. Putting that much jingle in the HAMB gas tank to keep this machine trucking along is and probably will be for a long time unparalled

 

dont wanna step on toes but why dont you use it to make more shirts? you know fer guys/gals/and the wee ones..hell, id buy 2 each and thats 8 shirts fer my family..then you would make more money!!! or take it and run off to an island fer 3 weeks and relax fer a spell..LORD knows you deserve it!! breeder

 

...my granny's gonna kick my ass!

 

damn that was a fun auction!

thanks to everyone that bid and to doc for helping the hamb. and denise for the great cookies too.

now all hambers have to do is be sure and thank NORM for his help and donation to the cause!

doc, you have a pm!

 

Doc, Bob and NORM... thanks.

 

Damn, that's what I get for being gone for nearly 4 weeks (still trying to catch up and am at page 79 with 5 more days to go at 40 posts/page!) - I missed this whole thing & just saw Norm a couple days ago at the UK SuperNats - would've definitately let him know how appreciated his generosity is around here...

...would have been a bit challenging though, I'd have had to interrupt Ratty convincing him that poking badgers with spoons was the UK national sport!!

 

FE, I spoke with him quite a bit this weekend and he was well impressed with the auction and how well it was received on here.... In fact between Norm and Chuck (Vranas) the Hamb was mentioned more than a dozen times.. More often than Spooning Badgers strangely...

Norm is one hell of a guy.. I said it to his face and I'll say it on here.. 'He's got an ego that could eat Tokyo..' but in a good way !!

And Norm, if you're reading this.. on someone else's PC.. ( He don't do technology !!) Then, again - "No I'm not Canadian !!!" LOL

 

so doc


where are the pictures?

 

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Granite, shit man, where have you been? I feel like I just stepped back in time.

 

Nope. it comes from emptying those Crown Royal bags Norm packs the skulls in....

Congrats DOC. Normskulls rule.

Norm made a skull for me many years ago and I wouldn't take 50 grand for it.

 

Awesome... I'm proud of you Doc!!!

 

Wow, what a great auction. As I've read through it, I am impressed by the creativity - blow off the naysayers - I hope some day to meet you three! (I've had the privilege of meeting Denise) A friend of mine has one of Norms skull in his car, it's a prized possession. Way to go guys!
