Any word on when and where for the "Pre Rumble GMB Breakfast Extravaganza" ?

 

What do the t-shirts look like ?

 

i'm thinkin Flap Jacks just across the street. we'll get the show set up first, THEN we'll get the grub.


BTW. for you out of towners comin to the show. there is a hotel RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the Holiday Lanes. i forgot the name already. might be a Quality Inn. i'll get back over there to get the name and phone # and see if i can negotiate a cheaper rate for the show goers. it looked to be a clean, but not to expensive, place to stay. check back here til ya see the info. i'll try to have it tommarow afternoon (wednesday June 15).

 

they are a basic upper body garment that (typicaly) hang down to just below the waist, the sleeves are short and there are no ****ons. it's a close fitting pull over shirt that when layed out looks like the letter "T".

 

Great answer. I'll be ther Mike.

Charlie

 

Will it let my gut hang out like yours?

 

Do they come in a wife beater style ?

 

thats it. your BANNED from the show ...

well that would'nt be a "T-shirt" now would it? i figured you'd want a "baby doll" shirt for your little weekend excursions to the gay clubs. ...not that there is anything wrong with that.

 

We'll be close to EL maybe they are having a pride parade we could join!

 

Bring your scissors and I'll modify it into gay style...

 

Hey there studdly..............Got any flyers to p*** out at Flushing cruise this weekend?? Probably the biggest cruise in around. Helps to get the word out if you want anyone to show up.

.........just a thought.........................Rick

 

i have an entire **** load of them. come and get em. i don't even know where Flushing is and i'll be stuck home this weekend workin on my daily driver and ****o's Olds, if he comes out. shoulda chimed in a day or two ago and i woulda mailed em to ya. maybe i can next day air them . how far are you? about 40 miles??

maybe i can get up your way friday. i'll look into it.

 

im going to be there.bad trans or not,i'll make it in the wagon.i might even put some different wheels and tires on it for the occasion.

 

I think I will check it out. I will have to drive my Honda, dont worry Ill hide it. Thats cool I didnt know there were so many Michaganders here. In Californa they have lots of old iron show every weekend nice weather all year round. But if some one asks them where they live can the pull out there hand and show them. NO THEY CANT. ha ha ha.


Bret

 

LOL. so true.

see you there. we'll be glad to direct your Honda across the (side) street to the spectator parking lot.

 

Any word on the hotel near by? A few of us will be coming over from Flint area and would rather just hang out all night. How many cars are you expecting there? It sounds like a good time. Thanks

 

If you can'nt get a room just bring a tent and camp out in Kustiombuilders front yard. And while you are there you can help him out in the garage.

 

honest D and the steel reserve rocks.Had beers with those guys at a place up my way.Kool Kats for sure. swaZZie

 

sorry for the delay. here is the hotel info:

QUALITY INN
3121 East Grand River AVE, Lansing
517-351-1440


Swazzie. i KNOW your gonna make it down for the show, RIGHT?? hows that car of yours been comin??

 

I do have a question, who's swinging by your place and picking you up???

Seriously though, if anyone is going from the Metro-Detroit area I have a very small trans that needs to get from my place in Livonia to KustomBuilder's place or the show. Mike would appreciate any help in the last leg of the relay.

 

Let me know. I am located north of Livonia off of old Van **** by Interstate 69. If you need some transportation for the trans. I plan on going to the hsow so I oculd drop it off. PM me or let me know. How big is it, or I guess easier yet what is it? Thanks

Any idea how big (how many cars) this is supposed to be?

 

It's a very small trans that would probley fit in the foot well of any hot rod. There is also a flywheel here that has his name on it. If you plan on going to DirtyT's bash on Sunday in Troy we could meet there and do the exchange. Sure beats you coming all the way over to Livonia.

 

thats awesome LOBrow. i realy appreciate it. it's just a little Monza 5 speed for my little bro's Iron Duke powered modified. the flywheel is for the same.

as for how big the show will be... i'm not sure how i could estimate that. i guess i kinda figure on 50 cars or so with alot more spectators than that. i forget the number but we have bought a TON of hot dogs and pop for everyone. if we run out too early we'll just go buy more.

if i would quite detailing every part under the hood on my daily driver and just put it together already i could have handed out alot more fliers at some of the recent shows around here. but still, we have advertised in the "Lansing Noise" magazine and hung up fliers at any place we could think of, in the area, where hot rodders might frequent. gonna hit a couple cruises this weekend too. there are some out of state HAMBers comin and some of the GMB crew aswell as some local rodders. those are the ones i'm sure of. i still need to try and talk my buddy Dave into bringin down the Mysterion. not sure if he'll be up for the stress of haulin it half way across the state though. maybe all you can eat hot dogs will convince him.

 

I'm going, too, so you have a backup should you need it.

 

this is why the HAMB rules!! thanks guys...

 

Waitaminnit... aren't you going?

 

I plan on going.

It wouldnt be a problem to put it in the back of my truck if it is needed.
2nd back up.

 

HOLY ****!! THE CANADIANS ARE COMING, THE CANADIANS ARE COMING!!! ...glad to have ya...

 

Well i know of atleast one canadian that will be there.
