The official build list for HAMBANDYS 30

I'll PM him and see if he'll allow me to machine the HAMB logo to be used on a plate topper, column drop and/or brake pedal for Andys car.

 

I just picked up the dash from Shane.

It's officially on it's way to Joplin for the signing party. Shane also included three paint pens.

Doc, you're first!!

 

Guys it would be nice to have some pics taken as the dash moves along.These pics can be add to the build video later.Just a thought!

OF COURSE, GO FOR IT!!!!!!

So I'm gonna

 

Ryan rocks. What are you planning for exhaust pipes or mufflers? Maybe I can get our guys at Bosal Canada to bend something up. If not, I'll see about doing it myself in Michigan but it may take a few because we're moving the plant right now.

 

Ntbatt

 

Lets not forget Andy

 

What's the status of the tires? I'd be willing to throw in for some.

 

Danimal is on the go with raising tire money Please contact him

10-4

 

i'll have to go to the shop and see about the front axle. if my crs doesn't stop me i'll try to do this tonight.

this post is to:

1. let you all know that this issue isn't forgotten, &

2. get this back to the top

 

Check out the post I just put up about Pop & Beer Cans for Tires. I'm pushing the GMBs to support this but anybody with some spare change can send it my way and we'll organize having tires drop shipped to Andy for the build.

 

Bump.

Also, I don't have alot of parts but if you are interested in a cool old pair of Guide Commercials off a Chevy, I would chip them in.

Also, would Coker kick in the tires?

 

Well today was a good day, two big boxes of goodies and the best news............. the goverment has given the green lite to Andys medical attention in the USA. As i get details i will make a post.


Leon

 

I'm glad to hear some good news for Andy. How is the young man doing? Also, are there any photochop threads that I'm missing, or are we not there yet? It seems a little overdue to me.

Thanks,
Kurt

 

A photochop thread would be sweet. So would a rendering by one of our talented artist. A sticky would be good too.

 

bump for sticky !

 

i now have the banner Deano made to go on the front of the table where the dash will be available for signing at the drags.

NICE!!!

the banner is mega cool in and of itself. this thing will be cool for andy to hang in his room after the drags if he wants to.

maybe we'll have folks sign the banner, too, so that andy will have a piece of hamb history right where he can see it all the time even without going outside to see his "A".

ANDY - get better so's we can meet up at the "08 hamb drags, ya hear? we're thinkin' about you and praying for you. keep strong, man.

 

I'll have to beg the ol boss for an extra week vacation next yeaar just to meet ya kid. Andy I can't wait to see your sedan. Keep strong.
Shane T.
Hey Atch can you post some pics of the banner?

 

i'll see if i can borrow a digi camera to do this. mine died a while back and i just can't seem to find the fortitude to let go of that much cash to buy another one.

 

the banner; try as i might i couldn't get the glare of lights out of the pix, so disregard the lightened area.

 

Holy shit that is bitch'n.

Yes after you guys sign the banner..........please. It will be awsome on Andys wall or on display when the car is on display at any local shows.

Here is the kicker folks...........Chris has told Andy that pending on his recovery he will send the model a to Joplin next year and fly Andy there to meet you guys. Oh yea...........the not so important part, i wouldnt miss that for anything.

Keep snoop'n as i will be updating everyone on Andys progress as he undergoes this procedure.


Regards
Leon


Did i say that banner was bad ass......................

 

Very Cool!

 

hey, if'n you can't see in the pix any better than i can:

the background is a reproduction from a 1964 speed parts catalog.

 

Front shocks and fuel block arrived today!
Andy is getting geared up to travel to Washington this Sat. We hope to get him out on the go this thursday nite for the last spin before he leaves. If this indeed happens, i will post pics.


Leon

If there is any room left I can send ya a window "HAMB" gear shift decal ,plus some cash....H

Please pm or repost address, Thank you , Howard

 

Hery Leon, I need to know the outside diameter of the steering column thats going into Andys car, for the column drop.

I could bore it to 1.750" and include a few "spacer rings" to fit an 1.625" or 1.500" column, but I'd rather it be right on size without any spacer rings.


Let me know.


OH yeah,

Good luck to you Andy, the hotrod gods are smiling on you son!

 

I pulled the car apart and loaded the body, front axle and front frame section a week ago. Should be almost there. Pat.

 

This post is now huge, confusing and unwieldy due to its length...
Would it be possible to start an update in a separate thread on what the car plan looks like now, what has been gathered, and what is needed? The existing thread has far too many twists and turns and ramblings to follow.
Parts needed especially, and books...what would he like to read more about??
Subjects, time period??

 

I 2nd this...
