    Now for the long part......
    I have been on the HAMB for a couple of years, I met up with Steve (Louver_Dude) he is about 45 minutes from my house. The **** hit the fan after that all of a sudden i am in what i consider the greatest car club on earth the Vagabonds. I have a lot of people to thank for making it possible for even getting it this far which i am going to do now. After the thrash is over i plan on thanking even more people but here is the list of some of the great people i have met through the HAMB

    Fiddy Everyone knows him but I go and hang out with him as much as i can he is as smart as a smart *** can be :) Great people and a best friend for sure. Him and Mamma (Dawn) make me feel at home whenever i am around. In face i can't leave there without armfulls of new stuff for my house or my wife thanks for being a great friend and pushing for this to happen!

    louver_dude one of my best friends i was just at his house tonight i owe him a lot he has taught me more in the last 2 years then he even knows. He doesn't even make me feel like a dumb*** when i ask a dumb*** question hahaha. If you are in the midwest and haven't met this guy you should. If you need louver work done also there is a reason his name is the Louver_dude. In fact today i was the hold_the_****ing_hood_still_dude

    TudorJeff Great guy really got to know him over the past year in the HAMB chat room that the vagabonds host. He always points me in the directions i need to be going when i am starting a new part of my project.

    Surface_Doctor Drove to the pig n piston car show to hang out and to bring me the 250 straight 6 engine that is going into my bel Without him it wouldn't be happening no motor puts a damper on most builds. I know John is selling some of his old magazines so if you are hunting for something look him up

    Cowboy bob one kick *** guy i just really met him and got to know him in these last couple of months but he is super patient which is great and just an all around nice guy if you need something welded or custom made give him a jingle at grade a welding out of fond du lac!

    half****edcustoms Grayson a really kick *** guy that is in the chat with us all the time donated 50$ to the cause i can't beleive it i am pretty much just shocked.

    Jaws, Brant another guy out of the HAMB chat sent me a 20 spot to help the cause

    38pickup one of my good friends Tony from Illinois we drove out to the rust revival this spring together. It has been said before in this club that you would be hard pressed to find someone with more heart then this man. Take a look at that truck of his sometime and ask him who built it!

    Wingnutz have you guys ever seen his bad *** roadster? Well i got a ride in it. It was my first time in a roadster and lets just say it was a good way to let my virginity go. He hauled me down to Joplin in it. When he stomped on the gas a couple of times it honestly slams you back in the seat which put the biggest happy *** retard smile on my face of course he is a great guy offering up giving me a ride in it and sorry i forgot him him the first time i wrote this.

    Breeder he is a dumb*** his real name is Todd Reed someone please put a hit out on him for me. No really he hooked me up with a set of taillights for my car along with a couple of 1953 license plate surrounds he really ain't such a bad guy and when he is drunk he makes me laugh a lot :) Besides he has the best steak sandwiches at reeds i have yet to find one that compares

    Justin just a friend of mine from the second grade he delivered the turbo 350 transmission today for 100$ not bad for a ****** with less then 100 miles on it after a 750$ rebuild

    Ottoman I could never forget Jim he is a like a Dad to me in fact last weekend he taught me how to rebuild a quadrajet and he always is helping me keep my moped running so i have the cheap gas ride for the summer. Jim is one of them guys that isn't afraid to try to teach me some things. He has showed my pics of his old henry J g***er and some of his other wild rides.

    Mike my uncle who hauls my car around the countryside and won't even let me pay him gas. Took the car from my place up to fiddy's place last week friday and he even insisted on buying me dinner.

    da_tinman Jay just kicks *** because of him i got to meet Ryan this year when i handed over the hand rolled clock to him you need custom tin work call this guy he knows his ****.

    It's hard not to mention the effect the rest of the Vagabonds have had on me what a great crew.

    So some shameful promotions to my friends and hopefully to any new ones that decide to drop by during the thrash!

    This has to be one of the gayest post ever. What do you expect from a Vagabond.
    Gerg, just kidding.

    I have a whole boat load of tech articles for your Chevy, TH350, disc brakes, V8 conversion. You name it I have it. If you want them let me know and I will e mail them to you. I wish I was closer to Green Bay, I would love to give a hand and have a few cold ones.

    My wife can still kick your ***!! Keith

    Well Greg the 1st post said it all. The Vagabonds are a bunch of great guys, well so are their sisters the Kropdusters. LOL Some of the first HAMBers I met were Louver Dude and Breeder and that was a few years back. I met a bunch of kool people on here that probably would give the shirt off their back if needed.

    I would love to be able to make it for the thrash weekend. I am not going to be able to make it. School and work are taking up much of my time for the next 8 weeks. Plus some advice Jeff gave me was something about priorities and time management. Or something like that. :)

    Need any parts? I should have a '54 4 door that's basically rust free, but will be getting parted out. Got no use for the shell or frame, would sell it cheap. Good floors and stuff. All the panels on it are actually nice.
     

  15. damn Gerg! There is your solution!!!!!!

    Wait.

    So its Vagabonds... V-A-G-A-B-O-N-D-S... Not some sort of femanine adhesive product?

    Hmmm... all this time...

    Sounds like it has the makings of one hell of a good time. Make sure you take lots of pictures. Good lick.

    I mean luck. Good luck.

    I don't want to get too far ahead of myself since I'm not sure what's happening with that car yet, my dad expressed some interest in it today. But I'll keep you posted. If you can use it (or just parts of it) I'm sure we can work something out.

    There you go guys i updated it i warned that i would be missing some people and i would get them on here! Thanks for everything to everyone that i have met these past two years it's been a blast. The HAMB has to be one of the most generous places i have ever seen. No one is really afraid to show a kid a good time or teach me something new.

    Remember if you are going to be coming to the trash shoot me a pm or post on here so i can start to get a count of how many people we are feeding and drinking :)
