and my 62 biscayne is outside, at my dad's house. it's got a cover on it, but i''m gonna be pissed if the hail's big enough to dent that old sheetmetal. it's only outside 'cause i got a notice from the county about my 'other' car. they called it inoperable and unlicensed. i guess i can't really argue with that...
Will you be at Forrest Park on Sunday? If so I'd like to meet ya. I talked with Nick Sr. the other night and he told me he would introduce us. See you then... DD
That ****s real bad.St.Louis county I presume sounds like some of there **** we got a notice for my dads "62 bel air for the same thing but it ran and was for sale but had been sitting for a month oh well if y'all are at the easter show stop by my coupe and drop a line!
no hail out here in wentzville yet. there was some in troy, but that was awhile ago. hope the cover helps.
It hailed pretty good hear in Waterloo. My truck is outside it doesn't look like it has any damage and the hood and roof on that thing is really flat. You can sit on the hood in the middle and it will pop in. Hopefully your car will be ok.
NO HAIL HERE, BUT WE DID GET 4-6 INCHES OF THE WHITE **** LAST NIGHT.....COME ON SPRING.....MAYBE IF I START ALL MY CARS UP HERE I CAN CREATE SOME GLOBAL WARMING UP HERE...JOHN
i'm not gonna be there sunday, but i'll be hosting the hamb stop at the riverport swap meet, we may even have some celebrities come by!
I hoping to have Mr. Chevy at Forrest Park this Sunday, be interesting to meet some of the other Hambers there, stop and say hi. Did any of you guys make Waterloo last Sunday? I found the website for the Concours de Elegance for registration but they don't want Mr. Chevy up there. Do any of you know the website for registration information on the Real Easter Show? Anyway, hope to see you there.
I was at work that day it hailed. We just got done with the body work on my truck now I have a few dings in the roof. Oh well, better now than after its painted.
...speaking of hail; here's an old pic of my ol 59 Biscayne covered with hail. Yup, all that white stuff is hail, didn't hurt the ol Chevy at all.
Its been 85 here already and now we have snow in the forcast for the next few days. If I wanted this **** I'd move up north! On well Im off today and the wife has to work. Ill be out in the shop playing.
Hey, New member here. Couldn't help but notice the tagline of this post since I fix hail (paintless) for a living. I live in Waterloo, IL so maybe I'll run into some of you at the swapmeet this Sunday.
hurry up and go throw some big sheets of card board , under the cover ..on the hood..top ,and trunk lid..It worked for me.
Call it art! It is not an unlicensed car but rather art. They cant tell you what art is. Problem solved.
Steve, my Capri was damaged all over in a hailstorm years ago. I got most of the dents out though, except the ones where it was double skinned, Bondo was my friend in that situation. My wagon went through one when I was driving it, insane golf ball sized hail, it didn't get one dent. Best o luck.
My Brother usta have a '58 Mercury that got hit with Nebraska Golf Ball hail back in '70. It was an ugly Red & White 4 door so he didn't much care about the dozen or so craters. Just glad it didn't break any gl***. We experimented with dry ice on them but no luck. In '70 it was just an old car...
O never mind I just read your profile and I live like 2 miles past you on HH. I seen you recently just aquired that black and orange shoebox, very nice. I have a flatblack 53 Dodge and my dad has a bright yellow 40 Dodge. We also have 3 old BMW motorcycles, one has a side car. I'll have to stop by sometime when I see ya outside.
