After looking at the 1st pic again.. Alls I see on all of your faces is Pride.. And being True! to some one very special, hands down to all of you guys,, and everyone who pitched in on this build. Ryan I think this one will never be forgotten here on the H.A.M.B ~Steve
The best hot rod project ever taken on and do***ented here on the HAMB. No zillion dollar billet bomb can measure up to the "value" of that little A. Those smiles are priceless. Awesome job.
I talked to a friend here in BC, who is originally from St. Johns,and told him about this. Next time I saw him,he'd talked to relatives there,they were amazed,that he too knew about HAMBAndy! Made me proud to be a HAMBer. Great ride you've got there Andy,and best of all,it's put together with all the pride of that fine group of people.
Wow. It has been a while since I've checked in these threads. You guys and Andy rule. The car is looking really nice.
Great work guys! I hope the feature writer is on hand with a pro video setup when it comes time to fire that puppy up. You better do it outside so there will be room for all the smiles!
HOLY **** guys!! that thing is one fine looking automobile, imagine when it's finished. I like the team shot with andy holding the spray gun (and a smile too ). Soooo, what did you guys fill the roof with again? Looks good whatever it was.
The reporter is now around the shop as much as the build crew. The wife wanted to spend some time together since i'm never home so we went looking for house stuff, hour or so went by and i stopped to show her the car..........she loves Hot Rods.....she looked the car and didnt say a word. On the way out to get more house stuff she looks at me and says..........just bring me home, go back at Andys car....... I knew i married her for a reason When i get there Rob (reporter) was there talking to Bill. He was their earlier in the day and now 9pm.......... I asked wft he was doing back...."This story is fun". So i guess the Andy karma has even gotten to him. He asked about a group picture of all involved in the car, which got a laugh when the reply of "you know how many people are involved in this" was blurted out. But it would be awsome if everyone who did play a part was in a group photo........... The HAMB is like a family (as Fab32 said "with our immage of being mean and dirt bags"...lol......were trying not to ruin that by the way..lol) who adopted a very special young man, you've picked him up when he was feeling down and you have taken his dream and made it appear in front of him. Stay tuned for more progress on the build................only snag is the forecast of rain for this weekend(outdoor show). Leon
