Detroit Autorama Roll Call..........Meet and Greet info

[hotrodladycrusr]

Looks like it's almost time for the much anticipated Detroit Autorama. From the looks of things already, it's going to be a not to be missed event once again. There are 40 20X20 displays scheduled to be there (the most ever) with approx 25 of these being Ridler contender hopefulls. These are fresh built cars, never seen in public or published before now. Of course they all won't be HAMB material but they are exciting to see none the less.

It's turning out to be a huge gathering of HAMB and RRT folks and I'm getting really excited to see everyone. So after reviewing all the emails and PM's on who was coming when, I kind of figured that a early afternoon as well as an early evening Meet & Greet each day was kind of necessary for everyone to meet everyone. This is just a suggestion, so if it doesn't suit someone, please speak up and we can modify the times.

Thursday.....2pm and 6pm
Friday.........2pm and 6pm
Sat............2pm and 6pm

And so far no one seems to be going on Sunday that isn't going one of the other days as well.

Race is setting up a "lounge" area right next to VooDoo Child which will be located right as you walk in the front doors (I'll post an EXACT location in refrence to the front door on Wed nite) so that's probley a good place to meet up, or even just to stop by at any time to say "hi" and put your feet up.

In the past there has been a group of us that have gone to Lafayette Coney Island (2 blocks away) for lunch on Friday. Meet by VooDoo Child at 1pm if you want to head to lunch with us, we'll be back by 2pm for the Meet and Greet. Cobo Joes across the street is scheduled for dinner on Friday around 7pm or so and Niki's in Greektown on Saturday nite. We usually take the people mover there and the resturant is large enough that there normally isn't a wait, even on a Sat nite. For those from out of town, there is a casino in Greektown for your gambling pleasure.

With all that being said...... who's going and on what day?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Greazer]

[roadstar]

[Thirdyfivepickup]

As it looks now, the three stooges (me, Chris50 and the elusive Mojo66) will be driving up on Friday night.
We will be refreshed and ready for the show Saturday... unless we stayout at the strip club too late...

I will be doing the Hot Rod and Restoration trade show in Indy on Friday... don't be surprised if I am wiped out when you see me on Saturday! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Thirdyfivepickup]

...speaking of Ridler cars... don't forget to check out The Million Dollar Willys Actually its supposed to have over $650,000 in it. It was finished by a local guy in Plainfield, Il. I grew up a block from the guy who owns it.
Look for the red 39 Willys (with 40 front clip) in the $70,000 exotic wood display with the ostrich interior ($18,000 in dead birds alone)... and try and figure out where the other $500,000 went...

(look at the build up book... lots of really, really neat non-traditional stuff went into it.)

DAMMIT!!! I was hoping you'd be there Thursday so I could borrow those keys for a little bit! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[beatnik]

I'll be there Thursday from 3:30 till close and Friday all day long.

[Levis Classic]

I'm gonna sneak down there on Thursday 0 be there aound 11:30am til 3:30pm - hope to hook up with ya. Its at Cobo right?

[Mongo]

I'll be there some time Sat. afternoon.

[studeboy]

Unfortunately I can't go on Thursday after all (Wifes cousin's funeral same day.) We are goin on Sunday though. I'll keep my eyes and ears open (might bump into someone I know). http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Would go Sat. but the wife has to work and she wants to go also.

[DIRTYT]

im a little behind every one as allways. i dont get off work thursday till 5:30 so ill be down there around 6:30 at the latest any place safe to put the 50??? otherwise im not going to drive it down. when do they close up shop thursday?

[kustombuilder]

i think they start throwin people out about 9pm. you should be able to get a spot in the ramp under COBO easy enough.

[flatheadpete]

I'll be there Thurs. I'll be there Fri...gettin paid! I'll be there Sat. so Baby's Mama can look at the swap crap and find some baby junk. Three days, one car show, one concert (kritz's band rocks!), one new tattoo, no friggin' sleep! I love it!

[hotrodladycrusr]

I just got back, one word WOW! I took a few teaser photos that I'll post alittle later tonight, baking cookies at the moment. Dirty, if it were Big Olds that I was driving I'd park him on the roof and not worry one minute. Cobo roof parking is only $4, cheapest in the city and there lots-o-room. Roof parking closes at midnite.

If I remember correctly they started turning off lites around 11pm on Thursday nite.

If you walk in the main doors, VooDoo Child is 5 asles to the right and three cars back, you can't miss him.

Weather forecast for Detroit this weekend is low 50's, so those that are coming from the frigid north can leave their longjohns, mittens and wool hats at home. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Levis Classic]

Should we were shorts!

[Bigcheese327]

Just so everyone knows, the Cheese and his roommate (and perhaps the old Car Club Prez and his dad) will be at Cobo sometime around two (perhaps earlier). I'll definitely haunt Voodoo Child for a bit looking out for people.

[Crease]

One of you folks "Good Game" Barnett for me!

If you dont know what that means, you will by the end of the weekend.

[roadstar]

Ok.End of day one. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Need sleep...Must find out about the Barnett thing.....Hope Dan has my sign......need sleep http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Thirdyfivepickup]

FOCKERS! Chris50 and Mojo66 bailed on me. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif I'm not going to be in a driving mood after working a trade show all day on Friday. I'm out.

FOCKERS...

[hotrodladycrusr]

My sister is going to be very disappointed http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Not to mention, I'm bummed out. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[RileyRacing]

Yeah, I wanted to see the lampshade in person, after the pix you had during Denise's party. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You'll hafta come up this summer, to be an inaugerated gay bitch wannabe!

[hotrodladycrusr]

A few teasers photos from tonite.

http://photo.starblvd.net/~DetroitAutorama/6-1-1.jpg

Guess who's primer truck has a paint job now? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Paint sure didn't make it any more appealing.

http://photo.starblvd.net/DetroitAutorama/6-1-5.jpg

VooDoo Child has some new lines on his deck lid. Awesome doesn't even start to describe the job Jeff did!

http://photo.starblvd.net/~DetroitAutorama/6-2-1.jpg

Very cool looking track nose roadster

http://photo.starblvd.net/~DetroitAutorama/6-1-2.jpg

Interior of the track nose roadster. Can someone please explain what that thing is coming out of the firewall. No one was around the car for me to ask

http://photo.starblvd.net/~DetroitAutorama/6-1-3.jpg

Came back a few minutes later and the whole front end was off the car.

http://photo.starblvd.net/DetroitAutorama/6-1-4.jpg

[Unkl Ian]

Thats the distributor.Actually it looks like a Magneto.
Instead of having it stick up on the back of the motor,like everyone else in the whole world,he's got a 90 degree drive with it sticking out the back.

Looks like an after thought.

[Thirdyfivepickup]

Mag-neeto... picture it with spark plug wires coming out of it. Not too much firewall clearance...

Hey, snap me a shot of the Million dollar Willys, will ya? I know its a red 39 with a $70,000 exotic wood display. Will have the name Oconnell Specialties as builder, thanks!

(damn, Unkl Ian is fast!)

[hotrodladycrusr]

Thanks guys. Makes since now.

and no Mike I'm not. Your going to have to come here and snap those photos yourself http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'll bring extra tape.

Oh yeah...Rudy, I'm bringing the sho card with me. Just finished packing that and my brushes. Oh boy-oh boy!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think that's Tom Gale's roadster if I remember correctly.There was a write up on that car in one mag awhile ago.He's been building it for something like twenty years or the like.MEGA DOLLARS.
The Starbird Corvair belongs to a friends brother in law.Saw it at a local show a couple years ago.I think it has about a hundred miles on it since new.Chuck Leighton's really nice 57 Ford in back of it.I just did a cartoon rendering of it yesterday.(pic included).See ya tomorrow!
Ray

[Unkl Ian]

I thought that was Chuck's car.

[MrGasser]

No, that's not Tom Gale's car, Gale's car was a '34 Ford roadster with a Mopar motor in it,...that is what's his name's car...Eric???,..used to design for Caddilac, he designed Cadzilla, built that chopped '55 Buick,(flat black with a yellow roof),...it was in Rodders Digest, they actually dropped the roof straight down into the car, built it over in Canada,...shit!, I can't think of his name!...

...anyways, that car is a steel '32 CHEVY roadster, one of those ExperiMetal bodies, that's a Potvin, front mounted 6-71, and, yes, that is the magneto, and no, it wasn't an afterthought, the car was designed, and planned, and moved from here in the Detroit area to the left coast several times before it was finally finished.

[Unkl Ian]

Larry Erickson(sp) worked for Caddy,last I heard he was with Chrysler.
That car was in Hot Rod maybe a year ago.

The Buick was built in Windsor by Jim Bailie,
I'll stop in a visit him on the way to Cobo.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Even though the photo didn't turn out very good I thought I'd post it anyway since there seems to be alot of interest in the little Roadster.

http://photo.starblvd.net/~DetroitAutorama/6-2-2.jpg

Ray, are you talking about the Chuck Leighton from the Flint/Clio area? He has a really nice wife named Sharon I think her name is? He's a director or something in KOA? Oh well, bedtime for me, long day ahead of me.

[safariknut]

Same one Denise.Chuck's wife is Jeanine and they are nice people.We've been good friends for a long while.Have to put a small stripe on the bumper of the car;they had the chrome flake so they painted it.See ya!
Ray

[MrGasser]

LARRY ERICKSON !!! Thanks Unk, that's it! I knew there was an "Eric" in there somewhere! I believe he's actually the head of GM design now, graduating from Cadillac. I met him when the car was up at Dan Webb's place for awhile, Dan did alot of fabrication on the car.

Thanks Ian I knew it was one of those guys!Shit my mind is definitely deteriorating.Here's a pic of the Buick taken at the Wings,Wheels,and Spokes show last October.

[kustombuilder]

i'm excited now! CherryBlossom and i were sick as hell all day wednesday but we started feeling better towards the night. we slept all day, so now it's after 2:30am and i'm WIIIIDE awake. did'nt help the dog wanted out at 1am. i think he was bored cause he slept most of the day with us.
my whole damn body hurts from laying down for so long. i hope i can walk tommarow. i'll prolly get real tired about the time we need to get ready to go.

see ya'll soon...

[fuel pump]

WOW! Thanks HRLC for the teaser pics. I can see it's gonna a fun day today. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MrGasser]

...little update,(for anyone that cares),...Larry Erickson currently works for Ford, and apparently had alot to do with the look of the new "retro-'60's-styled" Mustangs....

[Fast Elvis]

Great pic's!!!!....got the heart rate up already....see at the show.

[Thirdyfivepickup]

Yeah... thanks for rubbing it in... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I lightened that last pic for ya!

[beatnik]

Just got home from Autorama move-in.

Roadstar, Thanks for the move-in pass!

Hotrodladycrusr, Thanks for coordinating the meet and great and the yummie cookies!

The HAMBers ruled Cobo, must have been 40 of us there, It was great seeing everyone again.

Mostly the same old thing with a few really HAMBy cars like Roadstar's 40 (Voodoo Child), but well worth it cause I finally got to see the Khougaz Roadster in person. This car is a Hotrod.

[Unkl Ian]

Did anyone notice where the Pinstripers would be setup?

It would be nice to save an hour walking around looking for it.

[DoubleClutch]

Hope somebodys still around on Sunday! It's the only time I can make it. Anyone know the hours for Sunday?

[Fat Hack]

Great time at Cobo today...picked up RocketJ2 and his buddy and headed down there at about 12:30.

Saw Beatnik drooling over that wicked blue roadster, and caught up with Donzie about the same time. Lotta cool cars hidden amongst the boring stuff...checked out many 49-54 Chevs, including a wildly chopped dark blue four door fastback, among others.

Spent some time resting up with Fab32, Fuel Pump, Hatch, Hot Rod To Hell, Kritz, Kustombuilder, Cherry Blossom, Flathead Pete, Baby-Momma, Tiny Elvis, Fast Elvis, Safariknut, Mr Gasser, Brush, and of course Denise and Rudy in the impromptu "HAMBers Lounge" area behind Roadstar's SWEET black 40!!!

The time flew by, and we all had a blast...thanks again to Denise and Roadstar for the passes and always perfect hospitality...it was WAY COOL of you to set us up with passes!

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[RileyRacing]

Gotta second the thanks to HRLC for the passes, it was the way coolest!

Also, Mr Gasser, if that pic above is the Erickson roadster, it ISN'T the one I was talking about today. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif The one I was thinking of had a 34 grille and fenders. And I still want your buds car! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

PS Thanks Hack for taking the Metro of Doom and driving us!
Jay

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Thanks a bunch for the passes guys! It was a great time! I've actually lined up a babysitter, and my friend John and I will be back down there tomorrow AM! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif See ya there guys!
BTW: It was great to see everyone again, and it was really cool meeting those of you I hadn't met before.... Even if it was mostly a bunch of Canucks!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gifhttp://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fat Hack]

No Problemo, Dude! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Ha Ha...love your new tag line, too!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hotrodladycrusr]

I guess us ladies have a few advantages over you guys when it comes to being invited to sit inside very cool lakesters. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

http://photo.starblvd.net/~DetroitAutorama/1-1-1.jpg

Just a faction of the HAMB folks that were in attandance today. I'll post more photos tomorrow, wiped out right now, long nite.

http://photo.starblvd.net/~DetroitAutorama/3-1-1.jpg

Side note to Dondanno (Daddy-O) Joyce arrived here safely tonight and gave me your message....also showed me a photo of you and your wife. Congrats on "bump". I really dig your beard. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hatch]

Wow Denise...you traded that bumper jack for a roadster???? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif


The famous flat black truck STILL needs work....Scotts crew was very busy on thursday poundin shit back together so the truck would move....still junk. I can't believe these guys have ANY customers.

[tinyelvis]

DAMMM why do I always miss the group photos?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Ah well.. I was there.. somehwere..

[Jeff Norwell]

I just want to say......YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST......TO ALL MY NEW FRIENDS.....I really enjoyed meeting all of you and the hospitality was OUTSTANDING......I just wish I could of stayed the whole weekend http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
From 36 couper,Mitch and myself.....MANY MANY Thanks
Jeff

[hatch]

Definitely a fun nite....Rudy needed bleachers set up by his 40 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[kustombuilder]

Denise, YOU SUCK! i love the Khoughaz roadster. and when the hell did you take the group pic? i totaly missed that one. i see my wife made it in though.

i apologize if i was'nt as social as i usualy am. CherryBlossom and i were still getting over being wicked sick wednesday and i was pretty wore out.

VooDoo Child is definately one of the nicest cars there, honestly, but there were lots of other cool cars there no matter what your taste. even if you have no taste there were still cars there to suite you http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

it was good seeing everyone again and meeting a few new friends. BRUSH, YOU ROCK!!! glad you guys could make the trek from Conanada. the artwork is KILLER!!! everyone wanted a copy.

[plmczy]

Voodoochild, anybody have pics? thanks later plmczy

[Donzie]

First, thanks to Denise and Rudy for the passes.
Had a great time visiting with everyone and getting to meet the infamous Brush! I hope to have a pc of his artwork gracing my wall soon.
I wish I could get back there this weekend but I'll be out of town. Take lots of pictures for me (I forgot to take my camera) of the customs.
And Denise, thanks for the eats. Mmmmmmm, good. But I forgot to give you my money for the raffle.

[fuel pump]

What a great time on Thursday. Rudy, Race and Denise treated us like family. Here is Brush and HRLC with a little gift Brush brought to Denise.

[fuel pump]

Rudy's ride

[fuel pump]

Is that a cool interior or what

[flatheadpete]

Had a blast at pre-Autorama. Great to meet more HAMBers. Great to see others I haven't seen in a while. Did anyone else see Blakie Gejean? I wanted to talk to him but he was always busy with others and I didn't want to be rude. Denise and Rudy, I owe ya one. Thanks again. Pete and Jenny

[the duke]

I'll be there saturday, well tomorrow and I'm coming to the meet and greet for sure! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[fab32]

As everyone has already stated "GREAT TIME IN DEEEETROIT. Denise, what can I say, your the best (someone else knows that to). Thanks for the cookies and brownies. I'll forgive you about the Mt. Dew, but just this once.
What a great time meeting everyone and the cars were the frosting on the cake. I hope someone posts a picture of that '29 2dr that was converted into a tub and had the rear shortened and shaped like a Vicky. That was one of my favorites and I'm sure its going to end up in one of the magazines. It was flatty powered, blue, w/a carmel-orange interior. AWSOME!!!!
Hope to be back down Sunday and see some more HAMBrs. I'll tell you one thing being able to meet prople from the HAMB makes an automotive event that much more enjoyable. Can I get an AMEN!!!

Frank

[36couper]

Someone else did a good description of what was done to the blue tub on another post.
I talked to the builder/owner for a while on Thursday. He's from Virginia. He told me he built it out of left over parts he had laying around. The orange interior only happened because the pinstriper did an orange line around the car and then said 'now your interior has to match'. Looks perfect IMO. I also commented on the neato one foglamp on the front spreader bar. He told me it wasn't planned that way but he only had one so he put it on. Flattie with a Muncie 4 spd. I asked him how it drove. Couldn't tell me 'cause he finished it the day before but he did drive it into Cobo......put a whopping .3 miles on it.
