Kansas City area H.A.M.Bers, who are you?

I'm still around and willing to meet up or help with any project.

 

Its very elusive, but it does surface from time to time. Kinda like Loch Ness Monster sightings.

 

That thread once asked me for $3.50...

on the banner in front of johnny rays 3rd sat of the month cruise nite april thru sept ....

 

Sweet!! I'll be there. I really wish there were more of these type of cruise-ins going on in the KC area. Anybody know of any others?

 

There is one in old downtown blue springs on the 1st saturday iirc, the Spring Thing at the drive in may 17, i'm sure sodbuster knows em all by heart.

 

Lee's Summit is where I am and the guys are right, Johnie Ray's is hoppin' but you need to get there early to grab good spots. Dad brings his wagon out periodically.

 

dont forget the south 71 cruisers, never actually stuck around there myself, but I keep meaning to.

Add me to the list, I'm about 3 hours away right now but moving to the KC area in about 5 months so looking to meet some people from up there and possibly gain a few friends or maybe some contacts in the auto industry at least. PM me or add me to your friends, let me know of any upcoming events, looking for reasons to escape and visit the area before we move. Im also looking for a club in the area to join, hoping my 63 F100 will be driveable by the time we move up there.

 

im about a hour or so away to the north

 

I'm in Parkville. I spend lots of time going to car cruises and shows and doing these stories and posting pictures. I like to think I cover Kansas City car events as good as, or better than anyone out there. You can get an idea of what some of them are like and what kind of cars show up by looking here.

I'm actually looking for a bodyman in the Kansas City area that can help me out with my truck. There used to be a wrap-around aftermarket bumper on the back that took a hard enough shot that it caved in the back of the bedsides. If you're familiar with these old trucks, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I'd like to find someone who is good enough to get the dents pretty straight, without repainting anything, and without screwing around with the original bed wood.

Also, there was at some point some minor rust on the bottoms of the front fenders, and the PO's solution was to just glue some tin covers over the spots and call it a day. Now, it needs the fender botoms cut off and replaced (they do sell these pieces aftermarket), so I'd like to get someone who can also do that. I realize either I or someone will have to do a little paintwork there, but for the most part, I like the original old paint that the truck has on it now.

Does anyone know a good person I should be asking about this in the area?

Thanks!

 

Im an hour away but I drive to the city every day for school. Going to KC Art Instute.

 

Man, that's some dedication.

Did you know that automotive artist Charlie Smith grew up in Sedalia?

 

Old mn turd here, cowtown nats was the best, and I met some of the cooolest guys from st joe years back at des moine gg they were all pharhos mo chapter just GReat guys wonder if any are hambs ...

 

They're all HAMBers just don't post much. You're right you couldn't ask for a better bunch of fellas.

 

I didn't know he ever grew up!

 

The Art Institute is amazing - glad to hear about another local customizer studying over there. Many of us have spent a lot of time around that place - have fun man..

 

So you're that Tom Davison - on Charlie's site Motorburg.com, he gives credit to you as being inspirational and one of the big influences on his automotive art career.

Tom, I met you many years ago at the MO State Fair, I bought a t-shirt from you of a 65 Mustang you air brushed. I was in awe.

I told the story years later to Monte McPhearson and he said you air brushed some t-shirts for him years ago. I think it was his show car that he used to show at Ray Farhner's KC show.

 

Yeah its going to be pretty hard not living up there but in the end its well worth the time put forward.

I have never heard of Charlie Smith ill do some looking in to that. Thank you

 

Yeah I saw alot of that on here. Thats pretty cool. I hope to bring some of this kustom know how and ideas into the art world more than it already it. Im a sculpture major main thing I work with is steel. I plan to bring some lead work into it and show some people that side of this life style and hobby. I should be driving a 55 Chevy 1st ser. come Sept. keep an eye out for me!
