Thanks Larry (Oldbobsign) your hospitality at the Brush Masters made the Chicago WOW the best show I have ever attended. You people made the show for all of us. I also got a great bargan at the auction. See you on the road to Kzoo Saturday.

 

Thanks, Jim and speaking of on the road....

I'm leaving Mokena at 5:30 am sharp, anyone is welcome to leave their vehicle at my shop and ride with me. We're hoping to meet up with the Hoosier contingent at the I-94/249 exit around 6:30 am then off to the K'zoo for the swap meet at the fairgrounds. We'll be at the RRT/HAMB meet & greet at noon in the connecting hall between buildings, then to Allegan for the garage tour and back to Rt. 249 for dinner!

 

WTTW just aired a story about the Chicago Brush Masters at the WOW and it will air again at 1am and 4:30 am tonight on channel 11 in Chicago.

 

I will see you guys at noon Meet & Greet at the Kzoo swap and plan on doing the garage crawl if no one minds.

 

Yeah, there are a couple left, Sleepy, but if you live within ten minutes of Chuck's you have to make six consecutive breakfasts to get one.

Don't know how many will show up on Saturday for breakfast.

Don't know how many are going to K'zoo, either.

Sign-in HAMB and Eggers...

 

Going to try to make breakfast saturday. Miss the fun.I'll bring a 1965 Hot Rod magazine yearbook. McMullen roadster engine build up. Before this car was famous.Did you look at the AMBR winner. Geez, its ugly. Looks like the Riddler might be down the same road, none of the regular big dogs got any cars entered. Good year to win awards.

 

One D

 

Thanks for the heads-up, Jim.

I caught it at 1:50 am and saw the interviews with Ken Millar, Brett Mason (brett88) and Matt Jelinek (bluecollar). Great job, guys!!!

 

Ooooh , 6 in a row, that could take some doing! Does it count for anything that I was at the first one with larry ? Before all you OTHER guys decieded to tag along? ha ha ha . Seriously, a guy couldnt ask for a better group to have breakfast with!! I'll see some of you on saturday . Mike

 

I'll be there Saturday a.m., however I'm not bringing my sawsall. Stu

 

Dont worry . Chuck's will be open on Saturday for breakfast. He was supposed to close for the weekend because of the Mardi Gras Party on Monday and Tuesday but was told by too many that he couldn't. We have confirmed this as factual......

 

Here is what ya missed well, and me too LOL

 

Mike, maybe you could print it on your copier and tape it to your ride. By the way the only one that count are the ones that Old sign Bob shows up for.

 

I gotta have one of those stickers.

Maybe OldBob should put a couple up for a HAMB auction. Might raise a few hundred for Ryan. Stu
