Any Virginia HAMBers?

We're in Roanoke - the only city in VA that can claim it's own giant neon Star on the mountain! Woohoo!

And BTW - this is Mrs. Hillbillyhell posting. Don't know jack about BUILDING a car....but I'm the true brains behind this here operation.

 

Fairfax doesn't have a mountain or a giant neon sign.

But when I need to bleed brakes, Mrs. gary55 knows how to push the brake pedal while reading the latest issue of "Southern Living".

 

Hello , friend. I live in Covington, Va. Our main claim to fame is the stinky Westvaco paper mill.lol. I am currently ressurrecting a '53 BelAir 4 door.

 

Well at least I dont feel alone now.......

I'm in Abingdon - just moved here last fall...

 

Virgin Hamber? what, where, huh, is there such a thing, have never seen one!
Just kidding, i couldnt resist

 

Im here in Hampton , southeast corner Virginia having fun working on traditional early ford hotrods...

 

I live in TN but still run VA plates. That count?

Wildfire we are just down the road from you, below Bristol.

 

I'm in Fairfax. I think Gary 55 and I are the only Hambers in the vicinity?
There is a lot of old car, hot rod, street rod ,and muscle car ownership in the area... just not much traditional .

 

Hey jackanddueces, I live in Norfolk and IGOR and a couple other HAMBers are in VA Beach.

 

Im in Page County, Stanley to be exact. (near Luray )
Is there a Traditional type show in Virginia? I dont think there is. Why dont WE have one? That way we wont have to drive so far.

 

hey alexandria , springfield va here...

 

Hey this Rodman58. I live in Charlottesville but our shop (my dads) is in
Stanardsville. I think I saw Confeder rat's car a show in Elkton. I really dug
that yellow coupe. I got a shoe box ford rag top in the works. My pop has
a 30 Woody. BOTH ford powered (as it should be).

hello guys, i'am in the last capital of the lost hope. got lots of junk! extracab 31-32-33 ford pickup, real fast (chevy powered) lots of old trad cars in 20 mile radius.

 

Hey gofast62... wow... your in Richmond?

I thought the only cars they liked around there were billet, fiberglass, Boyd rods? I lived there all my life until two months ago- and I think I've only seen about two "traditional" cars the whole time.

I live in Arkansas now, but am originally from Grayson County, VA (8th generation in same place)...Mouth of Wilson. We lived in a round house (octagon actually) built in 1872 right on the banks of the New River.

 

howdy folks, i'm in woodbridge, i keep all my junk in Bealton. there are a couple guys from winchester on the board. It's a shame VA can't claim more representation. Anyone know of a car show in the middle of the state that we can have a Meeting of the Hambers. I plan on taking my '47 ford truck to the antique truck show in Winchester at the end of Sept. http://www.tri-state-antiquetruckshow.com/

 

i dont know of a meeti g in the middle of va but myself and my best friend rustycoupe215 were trying to plan a get together maybe in so.md some where...

 

there is a write up about Virginias Hot Rod History in this months Garage Magazine. check it out.

 

I'm in Annandale, near Falls Church and Alexandria. Can't say I'm a traditional hot rodder but I sure like them. Got a 64 Mercury convertible I'm restoring, and a buddy in the Stafford area with a 56 Vickie.

 

There's a bunch of us around the Va Beach, Norfolk area. I'm the only one of 'em smart enough to run a computer.

 

THANKS...IGOR

 

Is'nt there a traditional rod styled event in october or November in Maryland?
So local guy from C'ville went last year. There's a handfull of us here in Charlottesville.
