Official 2012 Viva Las Vegas Thread - THE VENTURES & DUANE EDDY Headlining Car Show!

Just want to give a little love to Jack Baymoore and the Bandits (Our very own Hamber, "J.B.")who are flying over from Sweden......one of Sweden's very best bands......I haven't seen mention in this thread that they'll be on the bill......go and support Axle's Show and our own J.B !!

Got the 40 all put back together with fresh 390 heads, fresh headers, S.C.o.T. blower, fresh 57 AFBs, fresh trans and split wishbones. Leaving early THUR morn, should be there about 4 or so. Needed a little attention after 35 plus years of driving. See you there!!

 

Me and the kid are bailing out of Grand Junction, CO here on Thursday a.m. and will be enroute (leaving everybody else at the homestead).
If any of you Lonely Knights need a place to stop for a wrench, jackstand, and a sorry excuse for a shop that might be better than the side of the road, I'll keep my phone on (Five Window Johnnie and Big Rich (BigFinCad) have my #).
This goes for any other H.A.M.B.ers as well on the H.A.M.B. relay who are passing through and might need a hand. I'll try to check my pm's also.
I work nights lately, but am usually up by 10:30 a.m. or so...
