As always i am planning on being there i will have a ton of old magazines big and little format as well as some other stuff. Stop by and talk or hang out.

 

Just got back in from Fletcher N.C swap meet, and will be a Paradise tomorrow morning...

 

hey it was good meeting you today "ratnest"

 

it was great meeting you also,my wife and i could have spent the whole day talking to you..

 

I just got my car back out of the shop late yesterday and just couldn't get everything sorted out in time. Anyone take any pictures?

 

I took two or three....give me a bit to sort em out...

I left Calhoun and went back to LaFayette. My buddy had to pick up a deposit on a pickup he sold. We left there and went to Cedar Bluff Alabama to catch the tail end of another show. From there we went to a Cruise in Cartersville...I'm tuckered out!

 

I've been looking for a banana seat bike....the seller thought more of this one then I did though...



This was probably the best deal I saw...Short fleet, runs drives...with title.

Sold for $500 less then 5 min after the trailer it was on stopped rolling.







This lil pickup got crossed up on the track and almost hit the guardrail.

 

Had to shag back to Lafayette so my bud could show a kid a pickup he had for sale so I missed the rest of the track action.

Caught these last two on the way out.






My buds pin he found.

 

I was there with my boys selling parts. Nice pics.

 

Nice pics.... Seems like I've seen that yellow '62 Impala somewhere?

Kevin

 

Is that your old 62? I didn't make the connection with the wheel change.... It was sweet!

 

Really cool pics as always Asa, thanks for sharing! Maybe one of these day's I can find some time to come to some of these shows! (I'm slammed in work right now!)

 

Yeah, it looks like a different car. Right? I can never figure out who is who. I guess we all need to start wearing Hamb shirts or something.

 

I wasn't wearing any HAMB gear...but I was rockin an old Trosley CARtoons iron-on though! lol! Got asked about it more then once...nobody accused me of being a hamber though.

I was spotted in Gadsden on Friday night. B.A.king introduced himself while I was shootin a couple snaps. Told me with the way I was gettin down on the ground with the lens I looked guilty of being Aceuh from the HAMB....guilty as charged!

 

Sweet pics! Looks like a good turn out. Sorry I couldn't make it this time.

 

KILLER! Thanks AceUh. Guilty indeed. Looks like good times in Georgia. Slim

 

Nice coverage, that short wide went dirt cheap!

Wish I caught some shots of the interior of the "Redneck Rocket" (believe that was the name) man, that was a killer ride ! Reversed headers and a seat 1" off the ground haha.

See you fellas in Oct.

 

Great pics! Hope to make the Oct. show!

 

what was that thing beside the coupe?

 

HECK yeah!!!

Am I right in thinking that that's a Kellison?

 

We're not gettin in to that....

 

Believe that was a Kellison there Mac. I gandered at it for a while....


Nice pics aceuh, thanks!
