North Carolina here I come

So who's picking me up?
I can be a local hire on roady for the weekend...

 

don't forget the landspeed races at maxton NC this weekend.

 

So I just got my tickets and reserved a room at the Emb***y. Anyone else going to this besides us??

 

Man I am jealous...been trying to sell my house in so cal for 9 months...like a dummy I already bought a house in Mooresville by Lake Norman...can't wait to get back there...if ya go to Charlotte ya gotta check out the Penguin or if ya go to Mooresville go to Lancasters...good eats at both and at a bargain price...good car scene back there...hope to see ya there...

 

Send me the keys and I can house sit for ya

 

I live in Huntersville about 5 minutes from Lake Norman! Me and VivaLaHotrod will start breakin your new house in for ya!

 

Thanks for the offer but the breakin' in part kinda worries me...somebody buy my house here in SoCal so I can get back there...have to look you up if and when I ever make it back there

 

We will just make sure the fridge and the garage is in good working order

 

Make sure you do. We definitely could use a couple more Hamb members in the Charlotte area. Well if you need some help movin in or anything when you back just PM me. Or just look out in the garage because me and Viva will be breakin in that fridge!

 

man as soon as my house is done

Im throwing a HAMB bbq

I sooooo swamped with this remodel...

 

Please make sure an invite is thrown my way!

 

Will do...one rule: NEVER DRINK THE LAST BEER

 

jeffreyJames

not a problem man

you and me are probabally the only two guys in the state building HEMI COUPES

maybe others?....but i doubt it

 

There are a few HAMBers in Raleigh as well, don't know when ZMan is having his pick pickin but he has a great setup at his shop!

 

welcome to NC....I'm with Maulers C.C. down in Wilmington, NC. we're always messing around on some stuff around here. if you're in Jacksonville, check out the Hooligans. they are a cool bunch of guys with some bad *** hot rods and motersickles. and yeah, heavy rebel is cool. it seems like every year the car/bike turnout keeps getting better and better. i'm sure this year will be no exception. i would go this year except for the fact that i have a six week old at the house so it's a little hard for us to stray too far from home at the moment.
will

 

There's probably a couple guys that will come out of the woodwork when they finish but yeah, we are definitely in the minority as far as hot rods. In fact I really can't think of many coupe being driven around Charlotte. Although I did spot one today on the way to the vet. I didn't have time to talk but the car looked rad.

 

I said HEMI coupes man

Im working on a 32 5w, 354 chrysler, kinda gonna be late 50,s early 60,s drag inspired

theres some really cool cars here...alot of restored A,s, tons of tri-five chevys...and some parts

I just scored 5 full flattys...carb to pan with trans...and a 32 front end here in town

 

Well, it definitely sounds like you in a better place then myself. Oh and I seen that you wrote HEMI coupes. I was just saying that there are no coupes of any sort around CHarlotte, let alone HEMI coupes. I bet that '32 5W coupe is going to be pretty slick. My own Coupe is shooting for more of a early fifty's drylakes coupe. It's a '51 331 backed by hopefully a '39 LaSalle. Wide 5's all around and a quickie out back. And I have been contemplating a hand made aluminum hood and sides.

NOT TO HI-JACK THE THREAD!

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to look these guys up and hang out for a bit. It looks like I will be heading inland this weekend. Some place called Monroe? Lets see what happens...

Oh yeah any one know when was the pig picken was?

 

For my shop, Rod-O-Rama, I'm looking at Sat. July 26th... from noon to 4 or so... gonna get a pig, a couple of kegs, a band, block off the street...

 

Hey Z

Is this an open invitation, or customer appreciation, or....?

If it's open. I'd really like to meet some of the NCHambers! I wouldn't be in the truck, but I might be able to roll in on the ol'Wing!

Lemme know!

 

Well that ****s. I fly back to the land of the rising sun on the 24th.

 

It's an open invitation...

I was also looking at the weekend before. The 19th. When I hear back from the band I want to play it may be better for them. Just throwing it out there.

 

Man if you do it the weekend before I will be there with bells on

 

Nice, tell Chad I said hello! He's still working there right? I tried to call him the other day.



VERN

 

Looks like the band, Killer Filler, can't do the 26th, so let me see if I can put it together for the 19th.

Yeah, he's still hanging around. We'll be at Alibi tonight taking advantage of the strong pour and cheap prices, we put it on his tab...

 

Oh well..........

I can't make the 19th! Gotta be in Charlotte during the same hours.

If it reverts back to the 26th, post it here and I'll be there!

.........Just my luck!

 

I've tried to go talk to him at the bar but he's always so busy. He asked me to come out by your shop some Saturday but that's when I'm at MY shop!

I think the BBQ is a great idea. I'm sure we have at least one cl***ic Mopar we can bring the crew in.

 

Hey man, I put on the Heavy Rebel Weekender and you'll have a hella good time. Glad your making it out and welcome to NC! We should overfill 3 blocks this years for hte car/bike show, so drag down for that for sure! See ya soon!

 

I CAN'T WAIT UNTILL THE WEEKEND!!!!! (and it's only monday)
Man I have been here for dam near two weeks and the only cl***ic/hotrod I have seen on the road is a few camero's. Unless you count all the cars that I spotted on my way to Monroe this weekend. I need to get ma a GPS so I can plot where they were. I seen a nice 62-63 Bonniville station wagon sittin under a tree. I might have to risk knocking on a door for that one.
