Folks Of Interest Let's revisit user names

My user name for the Hamb came easy.

My story starts back in the early 70's, our rag tag car club went to the North Atlanta Street Rods show/rod run at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta, Georgia and it was the first trip I made in my 1930 model A pickup.

You could smell the the fresh primer from 20 foot away,I had just put the finishing touches on the truck the day before we left home.

We were happy to make the show and during that hot muggy Saturday one member of our club,after consuming large amounts of libations decided to make a sign to let the masses know I had just gotten my truck on the road.

One of the club members took the bottom of a card board from a case of Budweiser and in his best CRAYOLA script scrawled out all the features he could dream up and denoted that the paint ( red primer) was applied by the best painter in Anderson, South Carolina ~ HOTRODPRIMER.



I am far from being the best painter, fact is I am somewhat of a hack but that being said I have owned a lotta cars that never got shiny paint,just a fresh coat of primer.

To this day I am still a member of the club and all the old members remember the story and NOBODY will admit to doing the deed.

The name stuck, HOTRODPRIMER. HRP

 

When I joined, I used my yahoo email address as my user name, hotrod man 2000. dumb name but wtf. For the first 6 months or so it was my user name. In a post about the jalopy showdown, Denise
( hotrodladycruiser ) got lazy and referred to me as hrm2k. I liked it because it was easier to type and it still works after 18 years

 

My son gave me it as I made a living as an artist.

 

As a rug rag, my parents called me PeteyJoe.
Ie… PeteyJoe from Cocomo.
I just misspelled it during my initial sign on at the hamb.

 

Should Have Been Owen Hayes...(O1As)...

 

How do you change your username? I’m not too creative and never had a nickname per se, so when I signed up my username ended up being literally what I happened to be working on that day. Would love to change it to something else.

 

get hold of @Ryan , he can help you with a name change

 

As a kid, I always thought I wanted a 5 window Deuce coupe. Turns out I like Model A coupes better and they're all five windows.

 

I was/am the first born of my folks. Born in Steele, MO.

First and foremost my last names Mitchell, so MITCH. My car and pickup were 36's and for some strange reason objects from 1936 seem to gravitate to me. So MITCH 36 it is.

 

It's my name, and where I live. I like to keep user names simple.

 

Here’s where Fordors comes from, the car was not seen here before, obviously a bit “street roddy “


I went fuel racing with a friend for ten years and after that the car has been stuck in the garage for far too long awaiting a makeover. Plenty of new parts and plans but life got in the way.

 

you'll have to figure it out from there. (that's me driving the 55)

 

I owned a parts store and I always wanted to remodel it to look like an old time saloon, but when the time came the big box stores were coming in and customers wanted cheap and not paying attention to quality. Retired never doing it. My avatar is a storage unit in my backyard.

 

Nothing special... it's a military call sign. Sky is above... the heavens. Six is the commanding officer. Loosely translated... God

 

Nothing fancy just my initials.

 

My user name was provided by my parents.
My last name provided by my father.
The initial of my first name provided by my mother at birth.

 

I used to drive stock cars, my car number was 50x. (At one of my first races, someone else already had number 50, so they told me to grab some duct tape and add an x behind it.)

 

Kind of obvious. First name, last name initial, and where I live. Easy to remember for an idiot like me.

 

As it was originally built or modified …
“ Trulyvintage “ was the name I chose in 2006
when I first started collecting early vintage
day trailers, I bought an open trailer to transport
them, then starting offering transport service
in 2008 for others …



Then I started transporting farm equipment,
hit & miss engines and vehicles.
I added a custom built enclosed trailer …



Today I transport custom and collector cars
dating back to 1903 for folks …

Mines easy, at the time I signed up everything I had was from 1951 it seemed. My cars, house, etc but my wife, she is a 1953 model.

 

Easy, my Model A was a coupe until I got hold of a sawsall.

 

I started posting on the Jockey Journal first. I have a Royal Enfield hence my name. Just kept the same name.

 

Like @Driver50x, I drove stock cars. At I-70 Speedway, number 83.

 

Mine is the name of the shop that I had to liquidate due to medical bankruptcy.

 

My name is Raaf.

Some part of me is Swedish and my grandma wanted me to have a Swedish name so she named me Raaf.

But Raaf is not a Swedish name. It's Dutch - it means "Raven."

My grandmother drank A LOT.

 

Mine kind of explains my situation in the hobby.

 

One of my other hobbies is knife making, I used that handle on few sights. I came to HAMB, JJ looking for info on paint, panel forming, rust removal for an OT car I’ve been working on. After being directed here many times I started looking deeper WOW. Decided to join this most beautiful site. Sharpone doesn’t fit the hot rod/ custom scene but I can remember my username. Didn’t realize I could use my real name. So you knuckleheads are stuck with me and my goofy name lol

Damn I was thinking it was pronounced as “Shar-Pone” not Sharp-one…….. Nobody said I was the sharpest crayon in the box
