The HAMB, Los G***ers and Zeke’s Diner Present

HAMB Gas 2004 March 19th-21st

Albuquerque , New Mexico 1 mile north of I-40
( Map available on request )

You are all invited to participate in and/or witness on the HAMB, the
transformation of Zeke’s Studebaker Wagon

Tequila, Beer, Dr Pepper, Tacos, Fajitas are served and more suprises!

I have limited room for HAMB members, but if you need a place to crash let me know (Rad****). I can also help with hotel accommodations, if desired.

The event will feature the removal of stock components and the preparation and installation of the 1956 F-100 front axle and leaf springs. We will fabricate the steering link, shock mounts and more. To include the build of the one piece tilt front clip.

Plus, if time permits, fun with OneShot Sign enamels.

Note: Any reference to a true g***er is purely relative, call it what you want………..we won’t hate you.

 

oh yeah!

sounds too cool to miss. can i reserve some floor space?


jerry

 

Yes, Jerry...you sure can!

 

Do you need any tools? Is that a dumb question?

 

There is no dumb question......

I have all the tools covered......after my trip to Denver ( Feb 25th for the HAMB breakfast) I'll know more about what materials I'll be needing. If you have an extra 4 inch grinder ...bring it...never hurts to have extra folks cleaning up the metal...Thanks..Neal

 

No ****?!?!!

Can I play?

 

Hey, Jason...you are always welcome at Casa de Rad****!...you have to ask? .....I have room..and green chili.....

 

Can't you have it in PA?Why does it have to be so far away?Sounds like fun!

 

Rad**** why do you plan these neat things when i cant make it? Maybe i can catch the next one

 

you mofos are in trouble...thats when my spring break
is!!!!
Can I sleep in my car in your driveway???

 

Drgnwgn289...I think we can accommodate you better then that...I have plenty of floor space inside....

 

how close is that to phoenix, i think i was going to be in phoenix about that time.

 

I've made it in 5.5 hours....but I was hauling A'.....cruise on over with Jerry...you are more then welcome RACFAB......

 

I forgot to mention......

We will be needing the expertise of a qualified photographer. Any body that fits that descripition (or rode the shortbus to school as a youth....eheemm) is welcome to participate.......

Or you all can trust in my meager camera skills and editorial finesse...or lack thereof....

If you can come...contact Zeke or myself...Neal

 

I'm stoked, I can't wait!! We get to mutilate another stude wagon!! I'll bring my hacksaw!! I'm not really good at photography, but I'll sure as hell be bringin my camera...

 

Heh heh heh
Can Killer come out to play? You better son. You're elected to chop that ***** in the future!! Think yer up to it? RaceFab if yer in the area, you better get there cause I wanna meet ya.

Nothing like a full on custom g***er just to shake **** up

 

So Rad****, are journeyman welcome at this shindig? And do we get to work on the Comet too?
Dan

 

This sounds like the perfect little weekend vacation I need. The wife needs todo some research at your local university so maybe will make a weekend out of it. Give us more details as the become avaiable. Hey Jerry maybe will caravan over.

 

Drgnwgn let me know if you need anything off that front clip.

Rootie poo just get yerself down there.

Damn Rad are you inviting all the "special" kids or just one in perticular?

 

Cougdan, c'mon on over. The Comet should be done by then.........I'm busy getting everything ready.......

Zeke...they all are "special"...

 

Zeke, are you getting rid of the front end **** before you take the car to NM? I'd be interested in all the suspension stuff like A arms and spindles and all that **** (if you don't try to rip me off )....let me know

 

It's going down in one piece so we can make a deal, cash or parts for the stude. One I have an idea what I need.

 

Rad****, what are doing for a rear for the wagon? Leaving the frame stock in back? Radiusing the wheel wells? Ladder bars? Have an engine in mind? Setting it back and redoing the firewall?

Dan

 

Dan, we don't have anything planned for the rear....for now......and I think Zeke can speak on what he has planned for power....I remember something about turbo Stude????

 

The mill will be a built 289 stude. Why?....cause I'm "special". Yeah it's gonna be turbo too. I'm very "special" Not tradtional you say. Going fast cheap is as tradtional as it gets baby. but then I don't really care anyway.

Trans is up in the air but I'm pushing the wife towards a 4sp. She's gonna be racing it, so she's the one that has to be comfy with the setup. The rest is up to Rad.

 

Ah...yes...the rest is up to me...

...be careful when you say that......hehe

 

I know better than to give you a free reign on it Neal. Damn thing would come back with 13 gold wires wheels, etched gl***, and a mural on the hood of nakkid chicas with power tools.

 

Remember that the old clutch setups make your leg quiver if the pressure plate is a stout one....she may not like that.

 

oops...nevermind

 

Root, you're right, I use an 11" truck clutch in my stude and that thing is a pain to hold down...its just a matter of leverage though, it could be changed.
