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

OK Captain,.. Just need a 110v for power, CAT5 internet, and a station where I will not get in the way of the chop and I think we are set. I will try to update the Hamb community as best I can while this is going down.

Chevnut, that sounds great.

 

Okay...with a few days left, I would like to get those who are bringing stuff, tools, metal, food to please chime in and list them so I know what to get and NOT to get.

...and I thought this would be easy Whew!

 

Cookies will be next day aired on Thursday and arrive on Friday. Wish I could fit in the box with them.

 

okay, I just fell out of my chair

I dont know about everyone else...but im speechless.

 

Hey Norm,
I'm calling dibs on one, I'll be there bright and early before they are all gone .....Oh! and Thank You Hotrodlady.

Hey Denise

 

Hey Norm,

So, have ya desided on the really important shit........jus how
much we gonna take out of that boxe's roof? A sloped roof-
line or straight drop at the posts?
And.....did ya get a profile shot of a chopped box, like the one
you want to wind up with?
Looks like I missed the shirt last-call (XL) damit!

Swankey Devils c.C.

 

I'll bring my appetite! I gotta know what these cookies taste like. Thanks Denise!

 

I just went back thru all that...we had some fun, didn't we?!

 

after talking to you tonight norm i am really contemplating bringing the caddy over on saturday, so dont be surprised if you come out in the couple of days and there is a hardtop caddy with no interior sitting next to your shoebox

 

If thats what it takes, there will be a hardtop Lincoln there tomorrow. She's been patient waiting for the chopoff to be over before she showed up. Lets talk Norm. See you Saturday with a cooler of sodas, sawzall, niblers, sanding discs, hammers, dollys, slappers and a 53 Lincoln hardtop. Later, Mike.

 

What a Big Ol Batch. Thank You.. all i want is just one as well.ok maybe two.

 

This IS the profile I want w/ Leaning posts. I was stuck on the upright posts, but I and a few others think they will take away from the lines of the car; so slating them it is. I still want functionality in all windows, including vents. I really like the way the roof line is in the back. Asthetically proportional.

Keeping the drip rails.

6" chop in the front, lay the back asthetically proportional.

What do you think?



Okay...I hope people are following the thread:

Start time is: Ill be up at 6am. show up anytime there after. Basically, Killer will be "leading" the team for the chop. When he arrives and wants to start...then we will.


Next: Im fumbling over dinner. What sounds good? I got to go shopping for the stuff Friday. Suggestions please? If we cook...we will need a cook'er at the BBQ or I can order out (ie: Cater food, Pizza, yadda, yadda.)

Im thinking Hawaiian BBQ. Beef, Chicken, Rice, salads and other stuff.

 

So you are going to use the back window then? Just going to slope it forward and sit almost flat then. Kool! KNUX!

 

Probably been a half a year? Ok maybe a year

 

well good luck guys wish i could make it

 

here is another one to get some visuals on, i cut this one 5" if i remember correctly, it was awhile ago and i leaned the pillars a little. sory for the bad pics i had to scan them.

 

that is very nice.

 

I think the car is prepped for cutting

 

Make sure that Alliance Tag doesn't get scratched during the chop. KNUX!

 

Norm,
since I will be coming from dropping off a car in AZ, I will bring a case of beer & a 12er of soda & a flat of H2o...

 

I hope the beer and the 12er of soda won't be flat coming all the way from there! KNUX!

 

I am not expert sweetie but I think you really could use some more bracing. Run some from the bottom edge of the B pillar/window area to the floor on the other side..... in both directions.

 

Denise is correct about the bracing, that will be one of the first steps taken when the chop crew gets there on Saturday. Chopped50 has done a good job removing the flammables from the interior in preparation for the chop. The only thing I would add is that the dash and steering wheel should be masked off to prevent any inadvertant damage from metal or sparks.
I talked with Killer about the schedule, he's leaving at 6:00 AM and should be up there between 8 and 9. It's a 1:45 drive for me from San Diego so I am planning on being there around 8:30. Cya...

 

One more thing that is very, very ,very important to us all SUNBLOCK!!!!!!!! If you are like me and have some ink on the arms or just burn real bad, ya might want to get the spf 10000000000 series on ya! wink!!!!!! That is all from the health board! KNUX!

 

Ah shit! I knew I should have purchased a plane ticket and come out there. I could have been the sunscreen gal and been in charge of rubbing it on.

 

There is always room for one more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KNUX!

 

I just got of the ringer with the man himself (road apple) Coby. He would love to be there at the chop but due to his medical reasons he will be in spirit. He says hi to all and take alot of pics for a possible Church mag #3!!!!!!!!!!! I told him that I would make sure that would be covered. This is going to "ROCK"!!!!!!!!!!! KNUX!
