Folks Of Interest Anyone interested in a Houston HAMBer's Meet?

Nice to meet you both. Let's hope for better weather next time. Back out in the garage now working on the Chevy.

 

Same here. Seen you before but never actually met/talked. Stopped HF and picked up another engine hoist so I can move my newly acquired tire machin off my lift so I can put the 56 up there and put the exhaust on.

 

Just reset IAC and idle on the Chevy, have it running nice now. Now going to start installing the AC.

 

Sorry guys... Guess I need watch more news channels. Didn't know the time was changing.

 

Just a heads up. Upcoming events, Lonestar roundup , 4/4 & 5 the next weekend in Sealy is the 2014 "LEGENDS" Nostalgic Drags and Rod Run 4/11& 12.

 

When did yall leave? I got there around 9 and nobody was there...

 

And the traders village swap meet on March 15-16th.

 

I think it was after 9(GF says it was between 9:30-10 when we left.....didn't really look at the time. But my Caddy was the only Old car in the parking lot even when we were there.

 

Where is the traders village swap meet and is it any good?

 

It's at traders village in Houston http://tradersvillage.com/houston/ it's a really good swapmeet, I've found something I "need" every time I've been.

 

It's so good I've found things I didn't even know I needed

 

Some buds and I went to Trader Village Swap last year. It was okay. I found some things I REALLY needed that I have yet to use, but I have them. Like most swaps, if you know what you want, you have to keep your eyes open and know when to skip the crap.

Not sure if I'll go this time.

 

Be patient grasshopper .....and time will reveal the purpose. Until then stash it someplace where you will never find it.

 

Sorry I missed Torchy's this weekend! Looking forward to Traders Village this weekend though.

 

me too....I need some caddy parts....

 

I'm looking for some 1960 Chevy side trim. What Caddy stuff are you searching for?

 

I was parked right out front, 53 Ford Mainline (turquoise and white)... which parking lot were you parked in? I was parked on 19th right in front of Heights General Store

 

We park in the back parking lot.

 

I need a few pieces for the 56. I'll send you a PM.

 

Traders village is a hit or miss event. Last year I saw a complete set of 35 Ford Wire wheels and the guy didn't even know what they fitted, they were newly powder coated as well. I already had a set and informed him what they were from. Second walk around he had doubled the price on them and they still sold.

Don't think I will be going until Sunday this year as I might be going to the 100 year Battleship Texas celebration on the Saturday and then the Rodeo after that.

 

Any group of hot rodders are welcome to give us a call. We would love to host a Saturday meet and greet at our shop.

Thanks Danny! Im sure many of us would love to your shop and ask a ton of questions... at least I would.

 

Was Traders Village any good? Weather was crap on this side of town and is this morning as well. I think I'm going to give it a miss this year and go to Humble swap meet the end of the month.

 

It was pretty good while I was there on Saturday. But I was out of there by 8:30.

 

Bob & I are leaving Saturday morn around 7:00 for the Lone Star Roundup, 65gregg r u going this year, who else will be going? Nailhead, you and the wife should go this is a great show, 1500 to 1800 cars, I hope the weather that weekend is good.

 

We are goin actually! A friend is flying in from FL and we are headin out there Friday morning. None of us have ever been to it so I figured we would just check it out this year and probably participate next year.

 

I'm planning on going. If the seats get done in the caddy before then.

 

I look forward to this show all year. A full weekend of hot rodding, plenty to do in Austin with various shop parties, hanging out on S. Congress etc.
I am super stoked this year, I saw on the round up's Facebook page my sedan was chosen as one of the feature cars of the show. Just hoping it doesn't look like the biggest turd there...

We go every year, we've only missed 2 times. Our hotel is walking distance to the Continental Club.
Olskool your car certainly won't be in the turd class, that's what my truck is for. However you on the other hand, well, never mind

 

I snapped up a windshield for $200 for my '58 Chevy at Traders Village on Saturday from Deep Ellum Glass. LSRU was a blast the last time I went in 2008 before I went overseas; I'll be there again this year now that I'm back, can't wait.
