New guy from Lilburn, GA

Hi,

I was told about this site by a good friend of mine in Columbia, SC. He runs a Hot Rod shop outside of Columbia. His name is Pat McCutcheon. His shop is Hot Rod Fabrications.

I have a '39 Chevrolet in very early stages. Pat along with a good friend, Ed Murphy helped set up the frame with a Nova sub. Currently has a 348 in it but it's got a log way to go.

I really enjoy the site and its made me change my mind about the car. I really like the early look with the steel wheels and whitewalls. I also enjoy the articles on the salt flats and dry lakes. I am thinking to make a trip to Bonneville's speed week this year or next. Will see how things go.

Anyway, just introducing myself.

Harmon Hodge aka, Ace Barker

 

Hey man! Welcome from another Georgia member. You should come the HAMB and Grits brunch tomorrow morning that the north GA members do. There's a thread in the main forum with the info.

 

Cant say I will make it but will check out the thread. Will try and get up some time. I have a lot of good friends in Marietta, Gainesville and Dahlonega,

Thanks!

Ace...

 

welcome, you should come up to lanier speedway 1st and 2nd of march for Brads swapmeet
some of the Hambers hang out there and sometimes some pretty good parts and deals.

 

Welcome,,,I won't hold it against you being friends with Pat,,,,HRP

 

Is there some kind of membership drive goin on up north? Welcome anyway.

 

Getting too many guys from Georgia. We are getting jealous over here in Alabama. Not enough of us to get together for breakfast meets and such so I go to Railroad Cafe by myself on Sunday for breakfast.LOL

 

That's good. I knew a lot of guys in Columbia from Early Wheels and another group. Confederate something. Good group of guys. I had the car and just getting started so it has sat for a good long while.

Not sure who is all still kicking. Bo Woods, Randy Nash, Harry Delage and Ed Murphy. Harry and Ed died a few years back. Ed had some very obscure iron in Lexington. Ed was a good neighbor and friend as was Harry.

I am looking to get my daughter situated in college and start working on the thing again. I hope.

Hey Welcome ACE - You are on the right side of town. Hope to run into you this summer. See you at the swaps. Later, Josh

 

Randy is a HAMBer,,,Deuce Roadster. HRP

 

welcome from misslippy..

 

Hey Ace. I am in Snellville, pretty close to just about anywhere in Lilburn. You are in a good area for parts and know how. Are you on the 29Hwy side or the 78 Hwy side?

 

Very close to 78. behind Yellow River Game ranch. My neighbor does a bunch of 409s. I bought some stuff from him a while ago but haven't been to his shop off of Buford Highway.

Ace...

 

Thanks! I know MS. Biloxi High, USM, My '39 Chevy came from Biloxi a very long time ago.

Ace...

 

Sadly, a LOT of the guys are now dead.

In addition to Ed and Harry ( who both married to the same women ...at different times ) Tony Noletti, Olin Hoover, John Atkinson, Mr. Lewis , Charles Kincard, Charlie Cannon ...

I was DEAD ... for 5 or 6 minutes. In 2001, I had a heart attack @ home but the EMS guys jump started me and I am doing pretty good now.

Get in touch when you come to visit your 39 ...

Randy

 

Welcome Ace hope to see you around.

 

Welcome- Good to have another GA Hamber!

 

Hey Randy I sent a PM to you. I have been outta touch. Been a long time.

Harmon aka Ace Barker

 

Hey........my old stompin grounds. I had a cousin that was a pilot for the Game ranch..........He used to take his shovel and move the goat shit and pilot over there.-------->>. LOL. Has "Lake Latrene" (aka Possum Lake ) still got water in it ??

 

Is your neighbor Lamar? Anyway, you are not that far from me, hope to see ya around

 

Yes he lives about a couple of streets away from me. I met him a Charlotte years ago. I have bought a few things from him.

Someone around here had a flat black 59 El Camino. Used to see it all the time.

Ace...

 

Possum Lake has water in it. They dredged it out after a lawsuit against Lowe's. Said the dumped a bunch of silt in it. Now has an iron fence, sidewalk and some nice Lake Lucerne banners. The house the old ladies owned is a Starbucks of all things.

Ace...

 

That would most likely be Mr. Mike D. He also has a white 59 wagon and a bunch of other things.

 

Welcome from Marietta! Hope to see ya around.

 

..Geeze......a Starbucks at Possum Lake..........whats the world coming to..

 

Hey were you in a lowered, creme colored 65 or 66 Chevy pickup with chrome discs blowing down highway 78 yesterday afternoon?

Ace...

 

Hello Ace.

 

That was a good lookin'' truck.
