i never said i knew a think about him. see i dont dig kustoms that much, im into hot rods. which is a good reason for an intro. just looks to me like a dude who should be well known strolls in, and you guys are gonna open the golden gates of hamb for him, on your knees. i havent camped at my local koa in a while, but the last time, i didnt meet a guy named jim. dig my drift? trey
I have to be honest here I have no Idea who Jim of KOA is. I have Heard of Both Kustoms of America and the campground people, I ***ume he is the car guy. Is KOA and KKOA the same thing? But if Ryan gives him a free p*** I guess I should do some research and see who he is. TZ

KOA is kustoms of america KKOA is kustom kemps of america two different orginazations both for kustom enthusiast.
this whole intro thing is getting stupid.........some of you guys have nothing better to do than jump on people ......yeah its nice when people do an intro....but get real THIS IS NOT A GARAGE .....nobody is walkin on your property and bargin in to your conversation .....its a ****ing computer .....and trey lighten up dude .....you seem a little uptight man ....the way you come off you would think you had been her since day one .and this board is for rods AND customs......maybe some of you guys should go build something or try to do some positive things for this hobby and lay off the intro police stuff ......if ryan says no intro needed for him.....end of story.....i am not kissing ryan's *** or this guys ***...in fact i dont often see eye to eye with some of ryans views on things but that is cool too...and for the record i dont even know jim from koa..its no wonder some of the original guys dont come on here any more..........get a ****in life.......
oh, dont get me wrong, i think intros are dumb as hell. but i always post one anyway, just to let people know who i am. i guess i dont think intros are dumb, but the fact of making a fuss over it is different. my problems is bob nobody gets on, doesnt make an intro, he gets flammed. but someone who is a little more well known is exempt from the ignorance. i could see boyd coming on here, and no matter how much **** is talked about him, someone would be all over his nuts... trey
i see what you are saying.......but i didnt see it as peole being all over his nuts.....you just seemed to me like you were a little hostile ......maybe i took it wrong..if so i am sorry ......like i said i am not kissing his *** . in fact i joined that orginization once and was disappointed and never gave them my money again....but i just think people take sport in jumping on people ...damnit i guess i am getting old and slowing down and being a little more freindly..... that sux.....haha ................ o.k group hug.........
well i've looked into that and it started with george barris. and it's a simple as this ol' george couldn't spell very well. look at some of his adds in the little books.
Iggy, are you the Iggy that runs Iggy Productions out in the Irish Hills, MI area and puts together and hosts all those cool local hot rod based tv programs?

[/ QUOTE ] Hey, Give George a break, where his family comes from Georges is usually a last name and John is spelled Yanni! And American culture is a sneeze in the history books compared to theirs. Yep, George Kustomized the word Custom!
Denise, no, i'm iggy with the orange bug, but I'm 50's now, ooooooooooh Top Cat!! Are you the famous Denise that was in Hot Rod mag a few years ago. I think you had a dented door in the picture.
I kinda like the intros. I look at it as HAMB is a club and the intiation is the intro. I've heard of clubs that have much more rigorous initiations... best described as hazing the pledge/prospect.
Yep, that'd be me. That was my Chevy convert. I got me a Olds covert now Orange bug? As in VW? Why don't you do a "proper" intro, just so folks can "meet" you
who gives a **** about protocol? ...and what's with all the *****ing? sounds more like a hair salon than a car oriented community. the guy has something to offer, so shut the **** up. i think the intent of the post was to say thanks for the copy of REV and to invite you to an event. sounds like a MUCH NEEDED opportunity to step away from the computer. -- raaf
OK, I was invited to join and did a terrible job of saying who I was. My name is Jim Hibbs and I have been trying to do a good job of running Kustoms of America since 1994. There seems to be many that do know me and some that just think they know me. As far as filling my pockets with money, I don't know how or when that happened. I am now 67 and I have invested my entire retirement into the organization and have never drawn a pay check to date. I have in fact paid an editor for every issue since 1994 and actually paid money that was owed the editor from the previous owner. Unfortunately appearance is not always what it seems to be and it is amazing that there are those who know more than I do about my business. I have been operated on for cancer this year and probably won't live as long as most of you. I do hate the bad mouthing of me and the organization and if you truly believe that **** you definately have been given the wrong impression. You can either welcome me or reject me, I'm too old and too tired to really care. I will continue to run Kustoms of America and try to keep it from ever dying again! Unless you would like to buy it and do it your self. You for sure wouldn't want to make the investment I have.
I don't know you from Adam's housecat, welcome nonetheless. Since you are a bigwig in the kustom area, maybe you could help me... I have been trying to learn all I can about the Alexander Bros. custom done back in late'67-early'68, the Fiera. It was a fastback Galaxie that was a copper color and appeared on the Feb '68 Rod & Custom cover. Do you have any info on the car at all? Thank you...

Here's a couple of the photos from that event. Jim hibbs laughing so hard he was CRYING. His lovely wife is next to him And here's what he was laughing at. His directors dressed in drag for an impromptu fashion show during the Double Date KOA show in Burlington, KY about 4 or 5 years ago?

"A little more blush for me Hatch". On the intro thing...all I meant was I don't think someone should ***ume that everyone knows who they are. A little intro never hurt.
