    Well since the HAMB isn't even supposed to be working right now I have no idea if this will work but, here it is.

    Night started out to help get flt-blk's 55 Studebaker Commander actually running. Turned out to be a cl***ic night with smoke, fire, and engines actually running. Also got a GREAT supprise for my self.

    Here was the scene when I pulled up...

    We then started getting everything together to make this thing run and pretty much had it done by the time anyone else decided to show up. [​IMG]

    Once everyone (mostly) got there we teamed up and got the car running with only a little fire and a lot of smoke.

    Thats about all I have for those pix. Hopefully the others will include what they got. But for me the night just got better! Turns out my beautiful loving wife came up with an idea for a birthday/anniversary gift. She told Tyler and it spread like wild fire. It then turned into the above gift, but also a going away gift from the club.
    They all pitched in to have the Legendary B*** stripe my car. Probably one of the best gifts I've every gotten, and I have NO idea they were planning it.

    I'll get a pic up of the finished product when I have some light to get a good shot. It kicks ***. Hopefully the rest will add some of the fire shots (if they came out).

    What they didn't show you is that I had no gas pedal for the drive.

    Honest bulleyed me into driving it so we attached a piece of welding rod to
    the carb and poked it through the firewall. Kinda like a handicap van only
    just a mentally challenged driver.

    No lights hooked up, nothing but fire and brakes, and a little tire smoke.

    I hate to see OCP and Kirstie move to Atlanta, but they'll always have the short stripe to remember me by.

    Im not sure if I can get this to work, I keep messing with it an nothing happens. Anyhow, this should be the Flt Blk Commander trying to make his car fire up as he has visions of doing the salt flat boogie in it:

    After such hard work our fearless leader and Jesus figure (did you here that O Evel God?) sits back and has a nice long toke. I think I know somebody on the HAMB that might find this look on his face oh so ***y but it makes me feel funny...in a really creepy sort of way.
