H.A.M.B.er Down! in Waterloo,IA

Surfacedoctor (John Gill)'s '49 Plymouth died on him a couple miles south of Waterloo,IA in a town called Gilbertsville,IA...can anyone check on him? I'm still 2+ hours away from him...

 

My number is 651-387-9480...and John's number is 507-273-8252...I think it just vapor locked, but any help is much appreciated...thanks

 

BTTT...a jump start with a good 12 volt battery and jumper cables might do it for him...

 

He's back up and running for now, heading north on I-380, then to North 63 and North 52 to Rochester,MN...stay tuned for updates...

 

Cool, been watching this, wished I was closer!

 

Damn! I didn't see this until about 12:10. Was headed that direction when Ruiner got back to me saying they were mobile again. (He must have a wireless modem or something.)

Anybody along 63 and 52 that can keep tabs on this?
Is there a HAMBer phone book connected to the board?

Roger

 

Thanks for taking care of John!!

Johnny, my hair is still better looking than yours

 

is the plymouth down or did his kropduster plaque fall off the back & hes pacing the ditch in panic? -------- the trailers hooked up, im at the shop. i tried calling but no answer. --- let me know.

 

keep us posted

 

Thanks for the concern guys. I made it to just short of Mason City where I pulled over again to let things cool down a bit. Parked on a downward slope so I could roll the car to a start if the starter wouldn't turn it over fast enough. (runnin on 5 cylinders, remember) Got cooled down starter would not do it, so I tried to push it down hill. Old cars don't roll to good in gravel. Along came Johnny and his gal pal. One shove from his mighty hands and the car rolled fast enough in second gear to start. All was good til 40 miles from home when the old flathead six gave her final breath. A $125.00 tow later we were both home. Thanks again for your concern.

 

John, glad you made it home safe. It was real nice meeting you this weekend. Keith

 

i smell.....BIG BLOCK!!!! glad ya made it home brother! talk to ya soon!

 

See, it pays to have big dumb strong guys in your club, not only can they single-handedly help Jeff (vanhamilton) stage dive in a bar, they can push start your cars by themselves...glad you made it home brother, Melissa and I both made it home safe too...call me when it's time to do the motor swap...hehehe

 

I thought about you John when I left Wayland at 11:30. Wonde3red how it was going. Glad to here you got back.

 

well brother, at least you made it. i think breeder might be onto somethin with that big block idea....
