It was a great show! Here's some of my pics...

[fab32]

Just got home. Had a great time and saw some awesome cars. Thanks guys for putting on one of the best shows anywhere. Met some new HAMBrs and talked to a lot of old friends. Watched Ray (safariknut) do his thing with the striping brush. He did some lines on Fuelpump's NEW '50 Ford 2dr. and a bunch of others. It's always a treat to watch him work.

[Fatchuk]

Yah ..I like to say a good time was had and well worth the trip...From AV8minor from Ireland and fatchuk from St.Marys Ont... Glad to finally meet Fathack and donzie...UnklIan,Safariknut,Denise, many times now always an upper energy booster..some very kool and different interesting things going on in many rides..I gotta tell yah though..many of them kars would never get on the road in Canada...you guys are pretty lucky to have so much freedom in what you can drive down the road licienced and insured ....you wouldn't get 10 blocks in a town in Canada ..much of our freedom in traditional to rat is very,very limited and legislated by traditional conservative law....kind of ironic....pretty neat kool fun stuff was there to-day...thanks to all who participated..fatchuk

[beatnik]

Very cool show, had a lot of fun, got to catch up with a ton of HAMBers and saw as many cool cars in one spot as you would see in a whole weekend at any big event.

Of course only made it about 2 miles away before I got pulled over by an officer concerned about my safety when he saw the slicks. Saw that he was going to let me go, so I didn't even bother trying to explain that they said DOT legal and that the grooves make them legal. Got cought in the rain on the way home too, but amazingly slicks drove fine.

Big thanks to everyone involved in setting up the event.

[slammed]

Nice Photo's.

[DIRTYT]

just got home my self. spent a bunch of money on goodies for the new house. big thanks to every one who puts this show together. got to meet a bunch of new hamber's.i all so got a sweet ass panel from barnett. and the skunk was well recieved amazingly. but i fried the trans on the way home http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif the sad part is while i was racing the old ladys car/ ok i have to go "cuddle" now with the old lady. she says were all hamb dorks and after spending the whole day together first thing we all do is go and make a post. hahaha we are nerds haha. o well it was a bunch of fun none the less today!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

c ya nerds @ mokan

[Donzie]

Yep, better than last year, and I didn't think that was possible.
It was great to meet some new people and chat with old friends.
The Deadbeats are master hosts. nd if anyone went home hungry it's their own damn fault!
My only disappointment was Denise didn't bring any cookies. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
But she had a good reason so I'll let her off the hook. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I'll post some pics later....but on a side note.
If anyone found 2 abandoned canvas folding chairs please help them find their way home. They're blue with red stripes across the top. They were left in front of the Mexi restaurant near the fire plug. Perhaps we could have a HAMB relay to get 'em back to Midland. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
If anyone knows the whereabouts of said chairs please let me know.....Oh, and NO, there's no reward!!

It was wonderful to see and catch up with so many old friends today and to meet so many new ones. I thought I saw and chatted with everyone but looks like I missed MercMan, sorry bud. We'll have to catch up at RocketJ2's stripping and striping party next month.

The Broken Dreams Cruz was awesome. Perfect weather, great folks, cool hot rods and smokey burn outs! Our very own Hammer Hank (winner of the Billetproof-Detroit burnout contest in June) roasted his tires once again. Donuts on Woodward, never seen that before today.

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/image_uploads/511875-a.jpg

Next we have Murray on his chopper moped giving it a go http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif For those that aren't fimiliar with Woodward Ave, it's a major road with 4 lanes north bound and 4 lanes south bound with a grassy median in the middle. A very busy highway, with the middle of the street activities being done between red lites.

Hey Murray, how many cop cars can you count? Your gonna need both hands. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[MercMan1951]

Here's mine, we stopped in for a look-see, out and about running errands...I was glad to meet a few fellow HAMBers and finally put a face to the screen-names. Next year, I'll come in the MERC, I promise! Sorry I didn't catch you on the way out Fat Hack or DoubleClutch...

Denise, I looked for you high and low, but somehow missed ya... And ROCKETJ2, WHERE WERE YOU?!?!?!?

[Fat Hack]

Just wandered in the door myself!

This year's party was bigger and wilder than last year's for sure. More cars...more people, and more fun! Saw many familiar HAMB buds and met a few others for the first time. Shot two rolls of film, but probably won't EVER get them back after the comments I wrote on the impromptu envelope I used when I found the film counter at K-mart abandoned...AGAIN! Ha Ha...someone at Qualex is gonna have a chuckle!

Hammer Hank's donuts RULED...and we half expected the S.W.A.T. team to show up when Murray posed for the moped photo! Figured they'd have a rubber sniffing dog on the scene to smell everyone's tires till they found out who did the deed!!! Reckless Driving...for standing in the street with a moped that wasn't even running!

(And I thought cops LIKED 'donuts'??!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif)

Thanks to the Deadbeats and everyone involved...this is one of my few "can't miss" events each year...can't wait for the NEXT one!!!

Here's a few pics I took.
The Mid-Michigan group shows up early.

[Donzie]

I don't know what these headlights were off of originally but if I still had my tub I'd be looking for a pair.

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Damn, I knew that was gonna be a killer show!

Thanks for sharing the pics, youse guys sure looked like ya had fun.

[Donzie]

Some of Ray's (safarinut) handy work. It's the center section of my steering wheel.
Thanks Ray, outstanding as usual.

[fuel pump]

I'd like to add my thanks to the DEADBEATS for puttin on such a great show. It certainly was much bigger and better that last year. Just a great time.

[hillbillydeluxe]

That was probably THE best show I've been to. . . ever! Friendly people, excellent cars, and the best shirt I saw all day was "Fuck Trailer Queens". Right on.

I'll post some of my pics when I get home, but man, was it ever good to see the real deal. Nice work by Jeff, Randy, and an excellent rod from little Tony and Rudy's 40.

Wow.

[mr.midnite]

I think a great time was had by all, I know my boy did!

[Curly]

Found the "Original pancake house" and did not see anything that looked like a traditional car in the lot and there was a bunch of church goers standing in a line outside. They looked at me like I was going to rob them so we went down the street and ate at some Greek restaurant.

Came back and found MANY more cars than what we saw the 1st time! I can't remember everyones name that I met but here are a few that I can, Safari, Barnett, Jdubbya, Denise, Fab32, Hack, Beatnik, HotRod2Hell.

We slipped in real quiet like and left lowprofile too...We wuz beat after driving to Battle Creek Saturday morning, checking out that cruise (2500-3000 cars) and then Detroit in the AM Sunday then Back to Cleveland. It was almost a 700 mile loop.

The HAMB members that I met were as cool as hell and we had a great time. The wife thought since they didn't have paint or fenders they were "half-assed done". I tried to explain it to her but said to hell with it....when I got home I pulled the hinge pins on the passenger door and told her that her side of the car was done!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I would have liked to met more of you...Where is my red-oxide HAMB t-shirt when ya need one! The pics of the truck with the doors scraping pavement was just way too F'N radical...I talked to him about the radiator in the bed and...well that was the final thing I needed before I did it. The rad hoses hold an extra 3 gallons! That ought to help keep my blower motor cool.

Great Party, cool cars, good people and picked up some cool garage art. I'm going to try to be there next year too!

[Fat Hack]

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

[jdubbya]

I nearly forgot this pic of the passenger door of DA-SKUNK.
It looks as if FatHack has gone on the TV show Extreme Makeovers... This may sound pretty gay, but he's looking cute in this picture. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW Donzie, those were headlights from a LaFrance firetruck.

[safariknut]

It's Monday and I'm still trying to recuperate from,"THE SHOW"! To say it was a great time would be a large understatement.The turnout was unreal,it was great to see old friends and meet some new ones,and the only fault I could find was one of my own making:I spent too much time painting and not near enough socializing.
To JimE and Jeff and ALL the people who made it happen,all
I can say is THANK YOU!
I'm sorry I didn't get to chat with v8minor,and if I did and didn't realize it I apologize as I still have a little something for you,or all the other people who stopped to say hello.
The food was great although my mixing was a little weird(try a drumstick,bean salad,and cherry dessert all mixed up together sometime)and it looked like everyone had a blast.When Hammerin'Hank did the outrageous donut in the middle of the street,I figured he was just marking a landing spot for the police helicopter,but all we got was cruisers. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gifAnd I wanted to see AIR ACTION! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Anyway today is kick back and let the Tylenol#3 do it's magic and thanks again to everyone who made it happen.
Ray

[Fat Hack]

Ha Ha Ha...Yeah, Jdubbya, I've been watching my figure lately! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But, cute as I've gotten, DirtyT still says you're cuter...Denise heard him! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Unkl Ian]

Got back to The Mothership a little after 1:30 am.
Barnett was probably still signing autographs at that hour. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm sure the Police Choppers were warming up,just in case. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Actually,the PD was cool about it;
they could have been real pricks about the whole thing if they really wanted to.

Thanks to Jime,Jeff,and the rest of the Deadbeats for a great event.
See you guys at Autorama.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Good news, just got an update from Murray regarding his reckless driving 6 point ticket. Moped riding hoodlum Murray spoken with a Royal Oak police officer today, one that is his contact when he has his annual party. The officer was able to contact the ticket writing officer and he's agreeing to drop it to an impeding traffic ticket which is a no point ticket, he just has to pay the fine. Thought you guys might want to know.

[nailhead60]

Just rolled into Kansas !! You People rock !!

[flatheadpete]

Holy crap whatta show!! Murray did it; I saw thw whole thing. He was suicide shiftin that plastic 'twin nitrous fed chopper while doin' donuts in rush hour traffic! Damn hoodlum hot rodders! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Denise, what's up with your group pic and mistaking me as Double Clutch? Just wondering. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Jdub's car numbed my ass and made my legs not work but it was well worth the trip. I'll be back next Sat. in the new family cruiser; a hammered '91 Caprice wagon!!

Hey! I don't need your help in court. I have twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one is to be used as evidence. Denise took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to mention the aerial photography. (I don't know how she got those!)
