Calling all Metal-men - HAMB Chop '06 - So. Cal.

Ill bring them to the "Idiots" reunion.

See ya all there

 

Poser? I guess you forgot all about this shot didn't you Bob?

 

Wow. Wish I felt that kind of love around here! Now that is what hot rodding and helping is all about. Just wish I was closer to the action. Good job guys and gals. Awesome!!!!!

 

Great work guys, looks fun! Keep us updated of progress, it's cold here in Michigan... need something to get us through!

 

Looks great Norm...

Think the VW guys woulda represented like that?

I was thinking about you, there's a lady in our neighborhood 'restoring' an early '60s VW hippy-van with the original technicolor paintjob still on it... It's Patina-Rific and it's pretty funny.

 

Wow. Sure would have loved to be there. We need one of these events on the east coast, like near DC.

Norm, just wantend to let you know I had a blast... Thanks to all the new people I met and for the cool pics. being posted......

 

just like everyone said it was a great day. when fatt's, toad 56 and i got there at 6:45am we were greeted by shortdog out in the street. soon after we were joined by hellboundgasser. after about half and hour of bullshitting everyone started showing up. it turned out to be 57 people that showed up. well at least that is how many names i had for the drawing.
it was cool to see the car being chopped. it was even cooler to help out on the a pillers. i learned quite a bit. if anyone else is planning to chop there ride(hellboundgasser im looking your way) let me know i'll be there to help out.
norm, thanks for everything. it was a great day that went very smooth because of your planning. also thanks for the drawing and t-shirts.
i had to leave at 7:00pm due to a headache and the fact that my feet were swelling up like balloons from standing up all day. i really wish i could have stayed longer to see the leading of the a pillers.
someone, sorry i forgot who had the idea, suggested that we need to start something like this on a regular basis. maybe once a month or so. not necessarily a chop but just help another hamber get their ride together or running or what ever it needs. i think it is a great idea. any other socal hambers into something like that?

 

I'm down with Dirt's idea. I'm kinda new to this and have learned a hell of a lot just from the Tuesday night events...have met some great cat's that now I call my friends. I'd love the opportunity to hang out, help out and pick up some more knowledge along the way. Tell me when and where...I'm there!

 

"Amen to that dirt" That would be the bomb i'm down with that who else

I think thats an awsome idea cause theres always something to be learned from another guy, nobody knows everything. Even though i took bodyshop class from a seasoned bodyman, Norm showed me/us, a little different technique to laying in the lead. (Thanks again Norm). I'm going to be chopping Scott's top , and Satinblack's old 31 ford coupe top,(now belonging to someone else), in the new year, maybe you guys wanna see what the desert looks like around that time.
I think it's a great idea to help each other out
that way cause that means theres that many more bitchin rods and customs hittin the roads sooner, (not to mention the "Barley and Malt" com-ROD-ery that goes along with it.

 

It would be great to do something like that.

 

Well wasn't me that called dibs? I have some minor (compared to the chop) stuff i need done to my car, If everybody wants to do another group thing, I can host it.

 

Hey Shortdog i'm down with that and yes i'll do some thing this time beside's watch I know a few trade myself. Just that i've be getting lazy with time.

 

I wonder why............

 

it looks like shortdog is first. figure out a day and let us know. i'll be there.

 

Sounds good to me too, this time i'll get to pull out my
bag of tricks. Let us know.

 

I'm in...set a date.

 

Ohh, that date. I'll be in San Diego...

 

what?

This weekend, A few HAMB'ers are coming up to help on the car. People are welcome to, but food is on you, I can handle the drinks.

Lots of tedius fabricating work to do.
