    Hey Chad;
    Long time no see.
    Yeah the 3W looks good in the brown primer. As does my 5w, which has been painted like that for around 14 years, which is hard to believe.
    It's funny about Tony's new coupe. We had sought of thought it didn't need to be chopped, because of how low it sat. But when I did that photochop and Tony saw it; I think things may have changed. We will just have to wait and see on that one.
    It seems like a lot of people don't come on the HAMB as much as they once did. I think Facebook and Instgram are used more. I have neither, hell I don't even have a mobile phone.
    Anyhow Chad it's good to hear from you. Take care and say hi to the family.

    I was talking to Tony last night and I said I would be moving the cars out of the garage today, so I could get my pickup on the hoist. I said I would take some shots of his coupe now that I have added a spacer to the right rear wheel.

    Hey Garry and Gonzo. Welcome to the HAMB and our humble little long winded thread.
    See the image below. Is this what you meant? Tony and I could probably pull that off!

    The 5W when it got it's color change around 14 years ago. I never took anywhere near as many images as when I did the recent color change on the 3W. I never had Tony's help either, but I did manage to muddle through.

    Here you go Tony. This is another image to mess with your head and to keep Tom entertained whilst he is away with work.

    Gaza and Gonzo the pictures of the Napa coupe speak the truth, and the truth never dies, and welcome to the El Gorilla's hang out. Tommy Flathead come home soon as I miss you hanging out. Looking forward to Port Fairy 2015 spending it with good people. And Geoff fenders are the way to go, man just look at the model.

    Tony, Gussy had some unexpected visitors on the weekend. So we rolled all the hot rods out of the garage for a photo shoot with their 'Old Purple'. We are getting almost as good at it as Robbie.

    Geoff, you are getting real good at this, these cars make me feel good looking at them. Just back from the doctor about my back pain and he said keep doing what you enjoy with these cars. As they make me happy and with help from my family and friends I hope to finish all my projects and still help others with their cars.

    Yes, I think you'll need to grab a set of fenders for the 3 window, definitely a full hood though. Maybe after the chop on Tony's 5 window :)
    Yes, have to admit I mainly check instagram now and don't get on the P.C much but mainly look over on the ford barn when I'm on here. A lot of time spent with our girls, mainly Phoe with her dancing and shuffling work with ongoing projects that are constantly moved around. Hope to get back into the '36 in the new year once Tracey's Fairlane is done. They all say hi, by the way. It's great to see you back in full hotrod swing.

    Well Garry organised the official signs for the Fip Choose Bar and Il 'Gorilla' Hangout. They commemorate that whirlwind week when Tony got his latest '34 and we gave it a whole new look.
    Tony I will bring your's down with me, when next I head that way. I will probably add a bit of striping to them.

    Likewise Tony, I have drooled over many of your cars over the years, we have wanted to plan a long trip south for some time now to catch up with everyone and just haven't made it happen. I even missed Chopped the last couple of years which was supposed to be a starting point to go further south. I believe you met my Wife's cousin Paul at Geelong a few years ago. He had a green and white '56 Olds. You and Geoff are keeping the torch lit.

    Hey Tony, I did a bit more on a couple of your wheel covers. They are coming up nice. We got a real deal on them.
    Do you notice anything different about Miss Victoria?

    Chad , I remember meeting Paul ,they were good times and please say hello to him from me. When you said that you liked my cars over the years, really means a lot to me . I hope we meet soon and all get together some time. Tom you should start wrenching on that pickup and get it to Port we will have a blast, let me know if you need a hand bro. And Geoff about Miss Victoria that's what " I am talking about" she looks perfect, that shot is straight out from 1959 in Moe .

    I think not '55 Tony. Remember Miss Victoria is a '56. I think the shot was around '59.
    I got some real cool stuff in the mail today. May send some of it your way before Xmas. Keep a spot somewhere on your walls for something poster size!
