Afew of you old Hambers may remember me as Kiwitinbasher.A few of you may have even seen my Chevy 6 powered `31 A Sedan at the Salt last year.Which brings me to my early,but hopefully not too O/T announcement.This year will be the 20th Anniversary of my first (and life changing) trip to the Flats.I`m driving the Sedan all the way this year,and plan on leaving from the Chevron Station in Troutdale,just East of Portland (Oregon,not Maine) very early on the morning of Friday 13th August.It would be the Icing on the cake to Caravan there with a few Hot Rodders driving their Hot Rods.Anyone interested.....?
Your caravan is a little outta my way, but I plan to go this year for the 1st time... I wanna make a motorcycle trip out of it... unless of course, I have a running hotrod by then that leaks less oil than the bike...
Joking about the paint, If my Hemi car is on the road I'll meet you in Troutdale on my way to Mokan. I'll probably have to drive in first gear to stay with you
last one, I wasn't joking about first gear Pauls a hot rodders hot rodder, this car was going to be his $2000 hot rod and I don't think he missed it by much. He's Donn Lowe's right hand man and does metal finishing and all phases of rod building on some of the coolest cars in the country. He's way to modest to say this, so he paid me to do it for him LOL
Hey guy. i'm leaving on wed. tell don you need a few xtra day's off and leave when i do.. gotta get there on thur. so we can tech. in fri. AM and get our pit set up. i can smell the salt now.
Aussie Steve--You had better be staying at my place for the weekend before Hotrodarama or at least for a few days before we go to the Salt!As for you,Jim-paybacks are Hell!I`ve a good mind to make you put gl*** in the damn thing for me--I`ll also bet a Dollar that you`ll never make that Coupe move out of the Driveway under it`s own power this year-let alone all the way to MoKan...!!!!
Not to change the subject but any you Oregonians seen Rocky? Just making sure he is staying out of trouble
Damn Kiwi, the gaunlet has been thrown, but where are you going to find a dollar? thats the third one in a month I could be rich with all these offers of cash. last post Rocky was heading home to auction the rest of his dad's place.and scout around for his Model A. I don't think he's been to Portland he usually stops by both of our places
Gl*** is easy, but will that powerhouse six pull the vintage air? next you'll want to put an interior to match the hot pink paint LOL!!
