Gonna be in San Antonio Dec. 10-14 at the Mariott Rivercenter. Looks like I'll have some time Friday night and after 10PM on Saturday. Anything happening there? Could I get a shop tour? Maybe buy you a beer? Thanks, JH
I'll p.m. you my number and I'm sure Crease will do the same since he's actually the friendly one of us. Maybe your visit will prompt him to clean his garage !! You're more than welcome to check out my paint shack...I'll even have a little progress on the jalopy project for you to check out. Friday night is cruise night, so maybe we can take you out to make fun of the locals. I haven't been out in public in a while. You can ride in the "state-of-the-art-modern-Freak-conoline" or maybe Crease will subject you to a cruise in that dilapidated old 33 of his.
Hey man that sounds great. I've not had a running hot rod in a few years and have no friends so a cruise night would be fun. I never get to do that anymore. I'd love to see what you have in the paint shack too. I love your work. When I finish the RPU I'd like to start collecting a few pieces of HAMB art. You are high on the list. I'm not a weirdo or anything. Not a total social retard redneck either. Shoot me a PM. We'll get together. Thanks, JH

Harrison, You got sumthin against social retard rednecks? Sounds great, I'll be in town and should be free Friday night. You bringin the family or flyin solo? I can't believe that Barnett just volunteered to go to a cruise night. Ya know, he's known locally as a "blue collar Frieda Kahlo". Cruise night would be cool or maybe we'll get lucky and Sean Castillo will be playing somewhere. I'll PM ya and in the mean time I'll be lookin forward to hangin out.

Hey Harrison, when you are down here, why don't you guys swing by Aces and Eights. I am sure Sideburns would not mind a few car guys to see the shop. I am building a couple of bikes there right now (on my spare time), and "Easyrider Magazine" will be shooting one of the choppers I built right around the time you will be here. There is always cold beer in the fridge, and lots of cars (and bikes) to check out. Yall should come by. Rik
Yeah, I think a trip to Aces and Eights is a good idea. You can all gaze upon the 710 HP engine that Billy has.
Wait till you see what car that motor is sitting in now. We are going to run it at the drags (local) early Dec. There are a few monsters in the shop. some mine..
Rik Any idea where Billy had that Dynoed? Helpin Sandman build a dragster and I would like to know what kinda HP we're gettin. Our goal is to run the 1/4 in under 20 seconds...........on pump gas!!!
I will check the dyno sheet for the name of the place, but I have had motors dynoed at "Lozano Brothers Porting". They build road racing motors normally and know how to tune for practical power. There is another place out in Bracken that has a rolling dyno, I think they charge 45.00 a p***, could be wrong. A lot of high horsepower Vipers have been hanging out there. And I know that there is a BMW shop on Broadway (outside the loop) that has a rolling dyno as well. They also charge something like 45.00 an hour, or p***, something like that. Hope that helps. I am not sure where Billy got his done, but I will find out for ya man.

Pogo [/ QUOTE ]Hey Crease I hope Sandman and you are building another rail, the one he left in my shop I'm using to hang my shop rags on. Oh ya, I'm using N.R.'s computer.
Hey CREASE, try Janke Engines, or Kendricks..i believe they both have dynos. i know janke does for sure, he built and dynoed my buddies Blown BBC..Dynoed out at 1054 HP on PUMP GAS!!! and only took a year to build!
Correction, I thought we were building a dragster. LeSabre, Thanks for the info. How's the A comin along?
