super secret hamb thrash?

[hatch]

I haven't done a one day thrash on a car in a LONG time. Anybody wanna do a HAMB thrash?....Here's my thoughts....Denise wants a change on "Big Olds" and I think a one day bump and paint would be mucho fun. I know we have the talent, and one day with a gang of punks with sandpaper and bondo would be possible. We would need some materials, and that is the hard part. I have some leftovers from other jobs and I'm sure there are others that could "kick in" stuff too. Maybe someone with connections in the industry could pull in a favor or two.

I've got a couple of weekends free in April and a saturday "Bondo Barbecue" is what I'm thinkin. Last time I did one, we decided that at 6p.m. "We Paint"

Anybody got a shop we could invade for a day?...(that is, if Denise thinks it's an OK idea).......how about some thoughts on this?

[fuel pump]

Can I come and just stand around and criticize http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Seriously I think that's a great idea. If anybody deserves it it's what's her name http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Levis Classic]

Hatch,

I love to come south to join in!

Let me know.

[Donzie]

I'd be game if I'm free that weekend. I've even got my own bondo spreader! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[flatheadpete]

I'm in. As long as I don't have to work (I can get it off) or don't have to pti crew with the race team. I can raid the local body shop for left over shtuff...Pete

[fab32]

If it's a little later (drier) we can move things outside and use my place to do the damage. While the destruction is taking place Denise can train my wife on how to do the picture posting thing. We wouldn't want any "WIMMIN" in the way would we? I've got a good size grille and we could do the barbeque on the deck. Like I said it will have to be after Lake Burrell dries up.

Frank

[Thirdyfivepickup]

I can come and drink beer.... and keep her sister entertained

I have a decent deal and moderate inventory on 3M stuff that I can get ya cheap!

[hatch]

Sounds great Frank...I guess we really need Denise to OK this....or maybe just go steal her car....paint it the way WE want, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif and give it back...ooohhhhh Denise....where are you????

[hotrodladycrusr]

WOW! Me and Big Olds are in for sure! This is AWESOME!! I'll pay for all materials and food and drink of course... BUT I ain't "hiding" out in anyones house while the fun is going on in the garage. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'll even pimp out my sister if it gets 35Pickup in town! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Damn!! I really wanted to see Big Olds with some metallic pearl tangerine candy with sandalwood w/pink and turquoise pinstriped flames and new diamond plate running boards. It's too bad she had to crash this post!

[Tinbender]

This would be a great way to brake in my new shop. You guys up for a few thousand mile road trip? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hotrodladycrusr]

Been there, done that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Remember my pink Ford?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Never again!

How about Copper tinted primer? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif My door handle holes need to be filled in, door poppers installed, (which I already bought 2 years ago), window workings installed, (which I bought 2 years ago), maybe I can even get window glass before this happens and we can instal them.

I'll make a wish list and make sure I have all the bits and pieces together.

and I promise to bring LOTS of Mt Dew! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

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

Can we do some Barris/Roth style body mods with the Bondo while we're at it???

(You know...shark fins, devil horns, scoops...FUN stuff!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

[hatch]

I have Apr 3 and 17 off...which are saturdays. I also can do weekdays, but I would think a saturday would probably work for more people.....Frank has plenty of air power, which we would need to pull it off in one day....

Some artwork ...scallops maybe... would be cool if we have the time. If we do basecoat with no clear, it's possible....no sense doing it unless we can end up with a killer job to show off. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Donzie]

I'd kinda like to see the Barris "gauges duct taped to the dash" mod. Then maybe we could be on TV!

[hotrodladycrusr]

The 3rd actually works better for me but whatever is decided, count me in! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[CherryBlossom]

we'll be there im sure http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif at least one half of us...

[kritz]

hell, count me in too....i'm pretty handy with the welder, smooth with the bondo and icing, and i am a wet-sanding MACHINE!!!!!! let me know the dates for sure. we may have some primer-sealer left over from my ford too...
hell, i'll even lay out some rattle-can pearl scallops on big olds.

[burndup]

dope is a notch or two below DA BOMMMMMB! At least, thats what I've been leading myself to beleive... what do I know, I'm just a white boy who grew up in suburbia!

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Well Homies, if it's the fist Sat in APR, I will not be able to attend. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Although, While I CAN run some sandpaper pretty well, I am mostly retarded in the body work dept., so you might be better off without me! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[tinyelvis]

I'll bring beer and some muscle.. I can sand like a madman! Yeah sanding bondo ain't so bad...

TinyE

[hatch]

To get this done we are gonna need some speed in the bondo dept....I remember the car as needing some work, but not a huge amount. The more the merrier when it comes to people who can do bodywork.


Kritz...those scallops look GREAT!!!!

Where exactly is this gonna happen?

Finally something that I can join in and is somewhat close AND a weekend with nothing to do!.

Chances of that happening again are slim so I'm jumpin' in on this one!!!!

I can wet sand like a motherhumper...as long as the women don't mind seeing a fat man in a wet T contest!

Ya see the key is to use a squirt bottle (with a little soap in the water) in the left hand, sanding block wrapped in paper in the right hand and a full sheet of paper stuck to the belly http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif This way I can block out the flat areas and get those big round curves of big Olds done at the same time http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Of course we all know it's time to go home when it looks like the fat man is trying to smack a couple of kiwi in a wet paper bag against the side of the car http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif....and being the fat guy I can't see what the hell's going on and the last to know! Jeez I lose more friends that way http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[fuel pump]

Curly,
If all goes as planned, it will be done near Bay City Michigan. It's right on I75 about 90 miles north of Detroit.

[jdubbya]

I just found this post, count me in, I am a welder, or at least I play one at work. I am willing to lend a hand where its needed. If you come up with a supply list, I will help out on that end also. -Joe

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

This "Thrash" sounds great! I would love to attend and sand and drink beer! I'm not 100% sure yet.

When I was at the Detroit Autorama, I had a talk with Denise about pinstriping Big Olds at BilletProof. Although nothing was cast in stone, she was mighty excited. I took this seriously and the prospect of a straight flattened copper color is what I feel she really wants. Maybe with some striping. So I don't know about scallops, yet.

http://photo.starblvd.net/~jhpeters/4-4-3.jpg

Ya know what I mean. Anyway this whole thing looks like a great oppurtunity to have fun and help out a Hamb'er.

Hey Kritz, bitchin' scallops, man.

[Hot Rod To Hell]

I dunno guys, I've seen Rudys work... I'd try to keep him away from this one! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[kritz]

i think that hanging out with all the "gay bitches" is reason enough to count me in...let alone getting to defile big olds. i can't wait.
speaking of scallops, we're laying out the scallops on my shoebox tomorrow night and i'm planning a scallop TECH!!!!!
i'm no pro, but it should be interesting viewing atleast.

p.p.of chicago and safariknut, this could be a good opportunity to do some hamber co-op striping...whether it be on big olds or on little do-dads. we could have people bring items with them that they would like to see pinstriped, and for a nominal fee (which would help denise offset some of the cost of supplies needed for big olds)we could stripe them. just an idea....

[fab32]

Gee! Golly! If it ends up being here at my place and the famous HAMB pinstripers show up I'll try and get one (or all) of them to pinstripe my toilet. I've always wanted a pinstriped toilet with a Rat Fink on the lid. Hope the weather is good I've got to move a 30 yr collection of junk outside to make room for BIG OLDS and DEMOLITION TEAM. Nothing is too inconvenient for our HRLC. RIGHT!!!!!

Frank

[fuel pump]

fab,
I don't think you need pinstripes on yer toilet .... it's already got brown racingstripes http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I am free Apr3(saturday) and so is Denise...that makes two...anybody else think this would work for them??....I can do a weekday easier than a weekend, but I was thinking weekdays, for most people, are not as easy. Let's get some thoughts on both options.

[tinyelvis]

Sorry Cherryblossom, I can't disconnect the muscle.. besides I don't have a trailer to haul it behind me even it WERE detachable! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

So when is this going down exactly?? April 3rd? So we're using Mike's garage right? And he's supplying all the beer and food and supplies, right? Just checkin'

Tiny

[hatch]

Tenatively at Fab32's shop....but any other ideas can still be considered....all the details can still be discussed, but lets start to get some details locked in...first...the "Hamb Slamb Dunk" date would be most important.

[beatnik]

I’d like to be there, but can’t commit to it. I’ve got a full plate between work and my projects http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif and I would hate to say I’ll be there and not be able to follow through.

[48_HEMI]

Denise, If you're going with the copper, I have a sheet of light bronze colored glass that would look great, I have patterns for all the side glass... BUT if you're going with Power windows I usually have to add 1 1/2 inches to the bottom and I would need a pattern of the rear window unless you have a stock olds frame. also need a shipping address and I doubt if my schedule would allow me to get it there in time for the thrash, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif it sound like you'll have enough thing happin' without worrying about glass problems http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[MikeO]

How about kandy root beer over metalflake w/ watson style scallops? Let me know what weekend baycity aint to far from me and a couple guys from the shop are talking about comming along also we get tired of relpacing neon fenders and bumpers all the time and to make it worse now we have a toyota in the shop hit in the rear(wouldnt get out of the way) let me know ill bring the flake and my guns

[jdubbya]

I just wanted to show some pics to display some painting and fabricating skills that flatheadpete and I both have. We will be more than happy to adorn "Big Olds" with some of our handy work. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The first pic will show off some fabricating and body working expertise. "SuperVette" was a real crowd pleaser, before it met its demise.

[jdubbya]

And who needs those damn pinstripers when you can have some paintwork like this! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Levis Classic]

April 3rd works for me!

[flatheadpete]

I'll bring the CAD drawings for the zoomies. How many hammers (not HAMBers) are gonna be there? I'm gonna need at least 38 to perform work like what is seen on the Vette. I'm there!

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Whew! Thanks to jdubbya & co., I can just show up and drink beer, eat cookies, drink beer and supervise. Thanks guys! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[safariknut]

Count me in.I'm no body man but I can sand a bit and whatever.
Ray

[Thirdyfivepickup]

I know a guy who knows a guy who can "borrow" the 'jaws of life' if needed.

Pete, why so modest? I know you did that vette with no more than 15 hammers. Fess up!

[hotrodladycrusr]

Well I just hired security for the day. Everyone must show ID to get into the shop and NO ONE from the Flint area will be allowed inside, or anywhere near Big Olds. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif The Flint boys will be assigned food prep, BBQing and serving duties, OUTSIDE http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Seriously though, the response here is alittle overwhelming. Alot of the ideas I've been thinking about regarding Big Olds are going to become a reality and I know I couldn't do it without help. My good buddies from the HAMB type of help.

Roadstars going to make a list of materials that he thinks will be needed and we'll post that. He's also going to check his cost for some of the stuff. I'll take a few photos of a couple of things on Big Olds that need attention and we can kind of brainstorm beforehand.

Fab32, I'd like to come up on a Sat and help you do whatever is neccessary to make room. Maybe I'll join you guys on Sat the 20th for breakfast and we can talk about things and make sure we're all on the same page with realistic goals for the day. I've got a huge list but I know there is only so many hours in a day.

I'm touched by everyone's generousity. Thank You

If you can make it for breakfast on the 20th, we could meet in Birch Run to make it a shorter trip. I'm sure Donnie, Frank and I can make it and anybody else that's wants to join in is welcome.

He thought it was a good idea. Wait till he gets the recent scoop and some of the things that him and I talked about are getting done NOW! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Tim at Rod and Custom also mentioned to me, shortly after I purchased Big Olds, to contact him when I "finished" him. I'm going to make sure he knows this is going down as well.

I got your PM but haven't actually been able to answer you yet. Way busy at work the last couple of days. I've got a couple of supersecert things in the works that I'll fill you in on.

We can run a shuttle from Franks to MBS International Airport for those "Out of Hemisphere" Hambers that want to attend. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif....I'm thinkin beer from canada and blondes from Sweden.

[Fast Elvis]

Hatch, thanks for the warm welcome....I'm a 50 ale drinker(in Ontario, only Indians, lumberjacks and old guys drink 50) but I'll make sure I bring some "COLD" Molson Special Dry high octane brew with me just for you!.....I hear it's a good choice of keeping the sanding dust off the vocal chords and makes those blondes from Sweden look even better!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif..Cheers F.E.

[fab32]

At last count it looks like about 40-50 are going to show up. That being the case I'll provide valet parking for $25 for the day and I'll make enough to get my old tired '32 back on the road for the summer. I sold one of the '32 bodies and am in the closing details for the other one. To hell with the stock market I smell the retirement fund nearing it's goal. I don't know, retiring with only 7 projects does sound a little risky. What am I going to do after I reach 110? I'll just have Denise put the top down on Big Olds and drive me to Florida and dump me on the beach.

Frank

[Fast Elvis]

fab32 I'll share my 50 ale with you...up here in Ontario we call it the elixir of life or the necture of the gods, should get you to 120, only bad side effect is, it makes all women look good after 1:00 am. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Since I know next to practically nothing regarding body work, and I would have gone to the hardware store for sandpaper and supplies, Roadstar is making up the materials list. He said he'd post it.

I'll bring muffins, donuts, and bagels for breakie, and how about BBQing Italian Sausages for lunch and maybe HAMBurgers and chicken for dinner? I'll also bring plenty of juices, coffee, beer, water, and pop, including MtDew! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'll post some photos tommorrow of the areas on Big Olds that might need attention so you guys can kind of have an idea of what needs to be done.

oh yeah, and lots of 60, 80, 150, and 400 grit for knocking down bondo and wet sanding...mmmmmmmm cookies.

So hey Kritz, why exactly would you need to wetsand the mmmmmmmmm cookies??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Can I attend the 20th meeting, even if I know for sure I won't be able to make it on the 3rd??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[hotrodladycrusr]

Of course you can, I'd be disappointed if you didn't make it. In fact, I'll bring you some cookies on the 20th cuz your going to miss having them on the 3rd.

Besides, I wanna see your new tattoo in person http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Cool. I'll be there! Weather permitting I might bring the chevy II, and in theory the exhaust cutouts will be installed by then, and the TONY's parking lot's awful close to those big windows.... Wonder how many people I can piss off!?!?!? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I'll have to try to wear shorts that day Denise...

[kustombuilder]

i'd like to be in charge of peaking the hood. i can do some preliminary work in my "free time" (LOL). i like how they did it in the magazine (was it RnC???) this last month. i think i can do that http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif.....

DENISE. do me a favor. measure your hood down the middle from the cowl to the grill following the shape so i know how long to make the piece for the "peak". if i fab that part ahead of time we should be able to finishe the rest of it in one day. i think it's gonna be a LOOOOONG day too with all the work that is planned.

[hatch]

A peaked hood would be great....how much prelim can ya get done on it?...I know it would be tough to get through the hood transformation in one day, but if the welding was done without much distortion, the rest would be easy.

If we can get any "heavy fabrication" done before "paintday" we shouldn't have any problem getting it completed in one day. By heavy fab, I mean things like panel fit or the hood peak...small stuff concerned with welding shouldn't slow us down too much..small stuff like filling door handles, etc.

If we plan on shooting the paint around 4pm, that would give some dry time...(dinner break)...and then some striping for dessert....this way, everyone involved gets to see the finished product and get home before 4 in the morning.. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have no problem with an early saturday start. I know Franks air will handle two or three DA's. Sound like a plan?????

[hotrodladycrusr]

Mike, if it would make it easier for you I can take the hood off and bring it with me next weekend to Birch Run if you and CherryBlossom will be there. If your not coming, I can drop the hood off at your place on the way home. Then you could bring it on the 3rd and I'd just drive Big Olds up there hoodless. Just a thought, let me know if this sounds like a good idea to you.

I spent some time in teh garage tonight looking over Big Olds and taking some photos. Do you guys realize what your getting into??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'll share some photos.

This is the bottom corner of the drivers door. It has started to bubble, about the size of a quarter.

[hotrodladycrusr]

The bottom back edge of the passanger side rear fender

[hotrodladycrusr]

Both doors have 2 holes each where the handles were

[hotrodladycrusr]

The drivers side edge of the truck lid. Chipped away filler.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Passanger side of the truck lid. Alittle more chipped away filler

[hotrodladycrusr]

The fenders, fender extensions, and hood need major tweeking on both sides

[hotrodladycrusr]

The front of the hood needs modifications so it meets the top of the grill properly. I talked to a guy last summer that had just done a 47 Olds and aked him how he got the hood to fix so perfectly in the front and he shared with me that he actually welded a piece of rod at the bottom edge. I'll be able to explain better on Saturday

[hotrodladycrusr]

Yeah, those are all bugs. Mostly from IL and IN http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Big Olds didn't get a bath before I put him away for the winter. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I know, I know, I'm a bad mommy. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The drivers door seems to fit really good but the passager door needs alittle tweeking.

[hotrodladycrusr]

This could only happen if there was time, but.... I've always wanted to bring the bumper in closer to the body. To accomplish this the bumper would have to be lowered to clear the truck lid when it's being opened

[hotrodladycrusr]

Here's a close-up of the bumper bracket. It would have to be lowered, about the width of the bracket itself, and come out under the hole where it comes out now

[hotrodladycrusr]

Well I think I've used up enough of Ryans bandwidth for one day. I'll print these photos and bring them along on the 20th so we can have references for the brainstorming breakie http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So what are you guys thoughts now??? Still do-able??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hatch]

a plan is being "hatched"...(pun intended) as we speak...I'm sure we can do some major damage...I mean repairs in one day http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[tinyelvis]

yes.. I can't wait.. I'll be a sanding bitch all day.. just throw me some paper..

[hotrodladycrusr]

Jim, as far as I know April 3rd is the date. I sure hope it is cuz I'm taking the whole weekend off. Also going to sleep in the Midland area on Sat nite just incase it's too cold to drive Big Olds home on Sat nite. Maybe one of the Midland area guys can suggest a nearby motel.

I'm thrilled your even considering coming up for this. I think I'm going to cry, this whole thing is very overwelming. It will be so nice to see both you and your lovely wife again.

Kris, scrapbooking opportunity is stating it mildly. I'll probley end up doing a whole book just on that day alone. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'm bringing my video camera as well, I wanna be able to capture some of the antics that I'm sure will go on.

Hatch, I haven't forgot about that Molson Special Dry you requested! I'll bring some for sure. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hotrodladycrusr]

Just in case anyone is still following this, tonight after work I sprayed PB Blaster on the 9 bolts that hold the hood onto the main support. They were all pretty rusty. Let them soak a short while. Then when Roadstar got here I racheted them off pretty easily. I was surprised on how light the hood was for being as big as it is. It's ready to throw in the truck on Saturday morning.

Big Olds looks even MORE like an honest to goodness hot rod with no hood and that kick ass BB sticking up for all to see. Can't wait for this snow to melt around here so I can take him out for a spin with no hood. That will be a first for me http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Hot Rod To Hell]

So do we have any sort of an idea of who will be going to the Sat 20th breakfast???

Just to report that Cherry Blossom (the dear thing) left with the hood in her PU after the HAMB breakfast. The hood was handled very gently by the attending HAMB crew and I'm sure it's almost back to Charlotte (sp) as we speak. Denise seemed to to take the departure well (its a strategic part of her beloved BIG OLDS) and a few hugs and a couple of Kleenex helped her regain her composure. She will be reunited with the wayward body part at the SSHT at my place in a couple of weeks. Mike (kustombuilder), the ball is in your court, do a good job for our HRLC.
