Jeff, details are here. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=547134 Thanks again to Curt and his friend for coming by the shop to hang. We love when people stop by on Wednesdays!!!
Very cool pix, thanks for sharing. I wish their was a Car Club in Savannah area that featured trad rides. This is like a "Dead Zone" for talent and rides.
Very cool!!!! These guy's have a great shop and location!....especially the drive in down the road! O....did i forget the "licker" store next door???
Will make it sometime soon. Would like to meet everyone, and check out the rides. Looking forward to it.
You guys definitely have got it going on! I enjoyed meeting some of you at GG Charlotte and look forward to hooking up with you again.
Thanks for the pics of Del's Chubbie! Looking good hotd@mn! These guys RULE! (What, I don't know, but they do rule!) See y'all soon!
Blam, the man from alacazzam!!! Great shots for sure. Makes our shit look halfway decent. Thanks Blam for the shots and Curt for posting them. BloodyKnuckles
Del, this is where you should say a little something about the shop building. Has a car history and a very cool vibe . . . ghosts of grease and gears and impact wrenches and grease monkeys . . . Of course, the current tenants might have a little something to do with the vibe
first off, blam, thanks for taking such rad pics, your a sweet dude and I wish we got to see ya more often! next, curt, thanks for the post and all the love! and as always guys thanks for the kind words with the shop, club and my 54. it has been a slow climb but she is getting there. an extra special thanks to j-byrd for his relentless help and knowledge and to damon for his wisdom! also cannot stress this enough, if you live in an area that sucks make it not suck! concord was hell to grow up in but in the past 5 or 6 years I have been able to amass a solid group of friends one by one that make my life awesome! when you meet some one that gets it like you do, realize and understand the importance of that and last, as for the shop, it was built in 1958, looks like it was built in the early 40's by the design, but you know how we're always behind the times around here! anyways it was a BEAR alignment shop until the late 70's or early 80's then eventually became an antique store. The shop we were renting no longer was an option and after looking at several other shops, I found this one... I asked the guy about renting it and he came back with a number that is more than I make in a month (mind you I work for a non-profit so that's not saying much...) but none the less, through some negotiations we got the shop for half of the initial price and hopefully will own it soon we eat sleep and breathe what it is we do and out of that a very tight brotherhood is born. that tight brotherhood is the core tenant of the Iron Lords. as always, we are open to the public every wed night so feel free to come by! and remember, you guys that drop by and come hang out with us are the ones that make our shop the radness that it is!!!
