Pontiac Slim

 

It sure hasnt stopped here today Dan. If not, Ill shovel out a space JUST FOR YOU

 

Hey..
Just got off the phone with #1 son and we'll make an effort to show up... may not have the coupe so I guess I'll have to do!
Pontiac Slim

 

#1 son in Florida(right?) Thats a hell of a long distance visit...LOL

Hope to see you there- Id like to have a bunch of guys come and hang out for the day- then I can tell Dana Im 'working'...

 

Sounds good to me.
The Deuce won't be done,
but the '37 is dying to hit
the road.

 

Hey... LOL No he moved back to Maine to run a company in Portland. He'd about had it with the Fla lifestyle (or lack of)
Pontiac Slim

 

Hey -Charlie Decker (One Arm Bandit) says he gonna try to get up to the open house so if anyone wants to get work done here while he is in Woburn for the day- get in touch with him (or me)
Im also working on having a band come - should be fun.

 

anyone know of a band in the area that may be interested? Im not sure if I can even have one yet but just thinking of what we can do to make it even more fun.

 

gee, are you going to have enough space for people to park?
Rebecca

 

Cool -- I'll definitely try to make that. My car's long from done though. But I can eat pizza.

Pete

 

I hope I can make it out there, I would like to see your shop.

 

For anyone taking a road trip and wanting to make it a weekend, the first Amherst, NH show and swap meet is early the next morning. It's about an hour north of Woburn.

 

Yep, I have my lot, the one in back of us (I asked for them to let us use it) and the entire side street to use (Hancock Street I think) . Probably be enough for about 150 cars. If we need more, the street across from us too-since its a Saturday -the businesses there are closed- and an additional 40 spaces maybe?

I'd say if you get here after 11:30 to just swing down Hancock street and go for the back lot or side street parking (no houses so there wont be anyone but us)

 

I am definately going to Amherst. If the weather is good, the first one is usualy the best one. Now, lets see if I can get one of my cars ready in time. I would like to come to your open house too.
Rebecca

 

bttt

 

Is anyone coming from the south? Maybe we could hook up somewhere and drive up together. Im right near 95 & 495 in Foxboro/Mansfield

 

Just finalizing the band too- looks like we may have a cool BLUES band.

 

Hey everyone

Due to a scheduling conflict ,we no longer have the our raindate for this event .

The Open House is RAIN OR SHINE ON 4/26 from 10am-3pm.

If we get torrential downpours (flood rains) on Saturday 4/26 its a no go until the fall.(Think Noah and the Ark type of rain...)

Questions? Email or Call the shop 781-939-5660.

Lets all hope for sunny weather!

 

Lenny,
What's the street address, so I can pop it into the GPS in the '37,
and take a nap until I get there?
Ain't technology great?
I'm now trying to figure out how to convert the steering box to 'drive by wire'.
Haha.
See you there.
Alex

 

235 Salem Street Woburn MA 01801

GPS sometimes gives you a different building just so you know.



My building is a one story brick thing with funky long windows - its right across the street from a large cinder block building. I THINK there is still a COFFEE company sign on the front of the wall.



If you get here and my lot is full, just go down the side street (Hancock Street) and park in our overflow lot behind the shop.



thanks

 

here you go Slim- per your request- bumping it up- you can grab directions right off my website.

 

Man I'd love to come but it's a bit far from deep south Texas. Anyway, I wish you success in your open house. Great idea.

 

with the gas prices climbing -might be cheaper to fly up here...LOL

I like to try to give back at least once per year - its guys like the peeps on the HAMB that keep us all going when we feel down or things are slow- by making us realize this truly IS a passion and labor of love.
Kinda my way to say thanks.

 

Our shop also tries giving back at least once a year-and still a certain association claims that we are "picking thier pockets"

 

Hey..
Now... we b hope'n that it ain't gonna sno up here in the North.on Sat... We should be all plowed out by Friday nite....Hell can't even get the g-rage doors open with all the sno so looks like we'll be arrive'n by pick-um up truck..
We thought about the sled dogs but I'm never sure about the tolls...
Pontiac Slim

 

Lenny,please take some pictures of the open house,to show.I would have tried to have gone after the nsra thing,but the pinstriper is suposed to come over to do my 32.

 

Lenny.......... Several members of the Dominators and I will be there.
We want to see how Steve's custom Ford business coupe turned out.
It must be sparkling in new lead and deep new paint after all these months.
Is it in a roped off area?
Does it get displayed with angel hair and a turntable?
See ya Saturday.............Disgustin

DONT go down that road here. Thats not what this thread is about- if you have issues with 'that certain organization' as you call it- PLEASE take it up with the director and speak with him. He is a great guy and has done a lot for the hobby on the East Coast . This year you want have to worry anyway- there isnt a show in CT (you did know that right?)- I know they are re grouping for the future though .

 

I didn't mean to hit a nerve, I apoligize. I appreciate what you are doing for your customers and friends and fellow car guys and that is my same approach. Good luck with your open house I know it takes alot of prep and thought. As for that certain association, I do agree with you, great guys, great shows. I was just a little bummed of what was said about me, I share the same passion about the hobby as you do. Good luck again, sorry about the bad vibe.
