how many massacusetts rodders are here??

Hi from Rebecca in Acton, MA. Rodder wanabe (perhaps this summer I will find a good project - always looking). I have a 58 Desoto and a 50 Buick. Some of you might know who I am - the one who takes too many car event pictures and posts them on the web:

See you in the spring. I would be cool to have a Mass HAMB meet sometime.

Rebecca

 

It wouldn't take much to make that Buick a kustom!

 

By chance is anything going on in Mass. on 3/4-3/6 I'll be up there for VW school in Marlboro,would rather be doin the hotrod thing,than sitting in class.

 

The North Shore (Manchester-Gloucester).

 

Billerica, MA right here.

 

Hello back to you Rebecca.
Welcome to the H.A.M.B.
You'll find it very helpful in resurecting the Buick and the DeSoto.
You'll find all sorts of tips from people wth similiar rides and also you can network for parts for those cars as well.
Without the H.A.M.B. I would be "screwed blue" in attempting to rebuild my '53 Lincoln and my pair of crappy old Fords.
It's great to have another Massachusetts person aboard and yes I agree with you about forming a gathering of local H.A.M.B.ers in the spring.
Maybe would could organize a nice cruise to Riley's, "Amherst", Bill & Bob's , or even New England Dragway in the spring.
Lets see the wheels spin on that Buick real soon Rebecca!

 

welcome to the Hamb Rebecca,you take great pictures,and I loved all the pictures of my 32,they all came out great.

 

I lived in Yarmouth for 11 years on N Main street at Highbank road my family's business is Eagle Carpet on n main street been in phoenix for 10 yrs now miss the old place Where in yarmouth are you ?

 

Im in Granby (western mass). Looking for a 30-34 ford truck cab for the back wall.

 

65 years in weymouth. Steve the 32 looks great.

 

cape cod,dry here ,but could use some tourist defoilater here come spring

 

I just noticed how old this thread is, I guess us Massholes are getting really bored with all this cold weather if we are digging out threads this old!! seems im not the only one without a heated garage!!

 

LOL- soooo true- this weather sucks.

What are all the MASSHOLES planning to go to for shows this year?

 

new bedford, mass. here. drive my 39 chevy delivery around when i can find the time. 4 1/2 years to build.

 

Milford,MA checking in.

 

Brookline, MA checking in. Anybody go to the Larz Anderson shows?

 

yet another neighbor! got any pics of that '39?

 

yep- went to Ford Lincoln day last year and will be at the Hot rod and (some other one) July 26 and Aug 10 this year.

Im also having an open house April 26 if you want to stop on by in Woburn...


I cant beleive this thread is still going on- wow

 

Beverly Taxacusetts here .Thankfully I'm only 25 min. from the N.H.State Line And the summers make up for the rest.

 

Lenny I'll be at the Larz Anderson Hot Rod show this year,one of my dads customers is the one that puts it on there,so now that the date is changed I'll go.

 

Beverly ,again . Larz Anderson has some great events ,I usually hit a couple every yr including the spring auction preview.

 

plum island the home of the green heads.

 

With an appraisal of the car in current condition , showing its true value, you probably could get some kind of abatement. I know a guy up your way (Peabody) who does appraisals that could fight for you I bet (we do them but only as a part of the business- he has a full time business that does them)

 

cool thanks- Ill PM you the info-he may be able to help you out- he also happens to be my classic insurance agent . Nice guy.I do appraisals too but the car would have to be at least together....

 

Grew up in Northampton Mass. Been out in Calif since the late 70's but Plan on living 50/50 between here and Cummington Mass. within the next couple years. Winters will be out here.

 

I am in Freetown. Wouldn't mind seeing some of the rides from the area for ideas and could use some help locating a model a for my build.

 

Since we are all from MA and dealing with the same problems regarding our classic cars and rods lets bring this back up. I had posted the below information in a previous post regarding dmv nightmares here on the hamb. If we don't start making some noise over these issues the state will continue to treat our hobby unfairly.

 

i haven't had this problem yet, but my projects are always titled before i begin spending any time or more money into them.

 

Fairhaven is my home for about 3-6 months every year, and if not for that i wouldn't have my 31 model A project to work on down here. Once i get it running hopefully it will be up there 3-6 months also.
