Hey Alberta Hambers!! Time to pull your socks up!!

Hi Abrasive.. see ya there..

 

Looking forward to a little social before heading east (damn work gets in the way)....won't be a long stay.
Have a safe trip all, I think the hwy speed traps for the year were last w/e....
Greg.

 

Thank you to all the people who came out for lunch today! Way more people then we expected, the weather was great, the food was great. Everyone seemed like they were having a great time, I know I did. I picked up my new beater truck the night before, and headed down with the Edmonton group this morning. We made good time, and managed to stay together as a group (right till the end, when i apperantly "left Lee for dead")

You'll have to wait till monday for my photos, I'm out at the farm for the rest of the weekend.

Thanks again everyone!

-Graham

 

Old Soul, Can we do it again??? It was Nice meeting you all.. Had a Real good time.. the Drive was Real Nice. went up with Three others from the city .. The Diner ... what an excellent setting.. Drive safe CDN.. again Nice meeting you all... A Nice selection of Tin Too... ...

 

I had a real good time, Thanx to everybody that got it organized, What a cool diner and shop..scott is the man lol i loved how there was only 3 people there i really knew so i met lots of new HotRodders. I hope we do this again and maybe a show Next yearor maybe how do you say......First Annual Canadian HAMB DRAGS!!! or maybe like the UK hotrod hayride Dirt Trackk races that would be wicked. Just something to ponder and chat about

PS those banger A's and Gavin's AV8 infected me lol Now i need One

 

As... Thats what ran through my mind.(Got to get one of those). thats my next project.. just have to finish what Ive already started on first.. ..

 

Lots of cool cars. That diner rocks. I'm sorry I didn't know about it sooner. I'll have to start having lunch there.
My 2 year old was hyper, and I just had my wisdom teeth pulled (talking hurts), so I didn't stick around too long, but it was cool to see everyone ride. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again.

Cool rides and great people; didn't get to many words in, listenen and seing what and how is going on! My wife was pumped on Goerge/Gavins AV8...Graham, she likes yer truck too
Thanks to those that were involved in setting it up, good job and fantastic location (unless someone has a track we could use for next time??).
My loss for not getting to meet all or stay very long.
Greg.

 

Wow that was awesome!!!! Today was one of the best days I have had in a long time!!!
Thanks to all that came out, and Graham for setting it up at the diner!!!
My coupe made it down okay, had a bit of miss but still made it, 10 minutes after we left to come back to Edmonton I finally figured out what was causing the miss and it ran back at 60mph with no other problems!!
I ended up putting over 400km on the 4 banger today and was cruising it from 8:30am until 11:30pm!!!

I was VERY impressed with turn out and quality of cars that showed up. I could have spent all day and night there talking with everyone. Every car I seen there I would classify as a Traditional Hot Rod or Kustom. Even mikes T coupe. I dont know what they were talking about on vintage rods about mikes T being the anti-christ of the hamb, That car was bad ass!
Gavin and George's roadtser was very cool as well. And that guy with the T speedster!!!! Wow!

Anyways, thanks again everyone, I would say we are definetly on the right track now and have succesfully "pulled our socks up"!!! Now lets make sure they stay up. Who wants to help plan another event? I know I am defeitly up for setting another one up, and I'm sure Graham is as well!!!!

 

Oh and i'll have my pics up tomorrow

 

Thanks Lee for kicking us all in the ass. It was a great rip down there. More importantly got to meet some like minded car people.

 

A few more pics...

Cool Pictures Jalopy and George.... That was a Good time.. all of the cars were Cool... meeting every one was even better.. An excellent group.. The Diner is a cool place, awesome place.... Driving up with North30, James , Keith was a excellent drive..

 

Great food + great people + Great cars = AWSOME DAY! My old heap made it all the way there and back on her own 4 wheels! Thanks to all that came out, keep posted for future events!

 

I can't believe I didn't see this post till Sunday the 13th! Considering I was driving through Red Deer on my way back from Calgary on Saturday anyway...I guess I have to start coming on here more than once a month. Looked like fun hopefully there'll be more like these...especially cause my '50 DeSoto will be back on the road next year. Thanks for the pics.

 

Looks like you all had a good time. I wish I could have made it down with my pickup. Thanks for the photos.

 

Next time you will have to come down for sure, I was just checking out your pics and I love the pickup!!! You should pack up your entire collection and move to edmonton haha!!!

 

Wow!
good weather
good people
good cars
good destination

........well.....all good

wish I could have come along but overheating issues have been
hounding me for the last month.

.

 

I was very impressed by the entire day. No one had an over inflated ego, everyone was very friendly and no one even teased me that I showed up in a modern vehicle. I wish that all automotive gatherings were that easy going.

 

Looks like a fun time. Wish I could have made it.

 

It was a GREAT time, thanks again to Lee for kicking this into gear and Scott for having such a cool diner and attitude. Coming from Calgary it was the farthest away from home my '50 had been under my foot and the 216 cruised along at 55-60mph no worries.

I've got some pics I'll get up tonight when I get home. It was great to meet alot of the people I see on here. And a great bunch of guys.

You hit the nail on the head, selohssa. I'm not new to cars but I'm new to the scene here in Alberta, and I'm damn impressed. Thanks to everyone for a great event, and I had a great time cruising up with Peter, Keith, and Terry.

Let's not let that be the last one.

thanks for the pics guys, looks like a good turnout. Glad you all had a good time, wish I coulda made it. Next time.

 

I just started using the site, have only seen one of these cars in Edmonton. I have been driving my traditional 37 ford (dark green) all summer and never come across anyone.... I thought I was the only one, haha.

 

Stop in and see Lee at LG Kustoms & Hotrods -16718F-111 Ave.

and once summer hits come out to the A&W on 137ave Fridays

 

hmmm, never heard of LG, I usually deal with the guys at Wadson's. I own the model a that used to be in the front of their shop. So LG is open during regular business days?

 

He is on this thread as "Jalopy Kid"
check his profile page for info on the shop
They open at 10 Monday to Friday I believe.

LG is about Traditional Hot Roddin'
