Six-Hunnert Car Pileup Photos

[hotrodladycrusr]

The Hunnert Car Pileup.... the best fucking show ever. Opps, hope no ones kids are reading.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Very special THANKS to the Chrome Czars for the most awesome show that I've ever attended. If you live within a thousand miles and missed this event, well, you missed the car show event of the year. My hats off to the boys cuz it still kept that warm, fuzzy, friendly feeling despite the HUGE growth. It was a pleasure seeing lots of old friends and making new. Without further ado....

After a basicly uneventful Friday drive to Morris, IL we headed to Fool Bar to start the good times. The sidewalk was packed with friends from far and near and the street was packed with some of the most bitchen traditional hot hots and customs that have ever been assembled.

Dispite the unexpected line to get in at 10:30 when we arrived, we had a great time chatting and actually matching cars to faces and names. A great time waiting in line??? Who would have figured! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Once inside in the gate we parked under some shade trees with the Deabeats and Draggins from Detroit and the RoadRockets from Indy. The VooDoo Kings were handing just a few yards away. Said our hellos, then headed off to check out all the cool cars that were continously pooring in. First stop was HAMB member Titus's.

When Roadstar asked me which car in attendance was my most favorite I said, without even having to think hard, this one. I think I remember BobK posting a photo of this from the BTTF's show this past June. I could be wrong, but it looks really familiar. Hung out for a bit hoping to talk to the owner, but one never showed. Dare I say, I'd marry the guy that gave me this car as a wedding present http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (no ring needed, just the car http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif )

While checking out the fine rides, my eyes kept wandering up toward the grandstands. I kept thinking to myself that I'd really love to take a few shots from way up there. I figured since lots of HAMB folks were being "hoodlums" at the Holiday Inn, I could break one of the "rules" at the track. So.... with Roadstar stating he wants no part of it, I hopped a fence by myself and headed for the grandstands. Wow, that was a LONG way up, but well wortht he effort. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The building in the right forground had some project cars in it and alot of the vendors. The grassy treed area to the top of the photo is were we made home base.

The buidling on the left is where the AWESOME bands played and the FREE PBR was.

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/image_uploads/583636-ddd.jpg

At 2pm we had a impromptu meet and greet. It was announced over the PA system but those by the bands didn't hear and others lost track of time. A very special THANKS to Joel, Peter Pan of Chicago, for making us a banner to hang. It will be taken to other events in the future and make it alot easier for HAMB members to gather and hang out. Thanks again Joel!

One of the friendlist, most down to earth, Detroit area car clubs is the "Poor Boys" who were at the PileUp in full force. They are one of the host clubs for BilletProof Detroit.

HAMB member "Detroit Torch" in his Caddy shootin flames. He told me he went thru 7 gallons of disel fuel while at the fairgrounds. He torched the deck lid so bad the paint was coming off in HUGE sections, one 6 by 6 inch piece he handed me to keep and put in a scrapbook right next to a couple of photos of his flamming Caddy.

[slammed]

Thank-you for the cookie's kind lady!

[hudsoncustom]

Denise, Any other pics of the modified in the 4th photo?

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Great pics Denise!

The line to get in was different. I spent 2 & 1/2 hours taking pics of rides coming in, one by one. It was a great way to get pics. I brought 20 rolls of film with me and only shot 9 or 10. I spent alot of time jabbering and it was FUN.

A 'lil side note: I believe Magnet personally checked every ride in to the show, and personally thanked just about every one for coming as the participant rides left. He manned that gate the entire day. The man has got stamina and tons of CLASS. Great show.

It was great seeing you and Rudy, Denise. You guys ROCK!...and the cookies were DEELICIOUS! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Joel http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif


Slammed, I wish I knew you were there, I would have liked to meet ya. Next time,eh.

[Mike Paul]

Denise

Ditto on the cookies. How was your taste of italy Sat. night?? We thought it was great, The wife and I were stuffed. It was great meeting with you.

mike

[Greezy]

Im definatley not missing next years Pileup. Looks like everyone had a really good time. Thanks for the pics Denise.
Next time Im in Novi Im coming after your cookies....

Hey..Where's the NSRA inspection sticker? Guess it couldn't pass scrub..but then again, I bet EVERTHING scrubs (and rubs....and scrapes)!?!?!?!?!?!

[kustombuilder]

good arial shots. i was thinking on the ride home i should have gotten a higher vantage point and gotten some layout shots.

the Fools bar was great. Levis Classic, Mongo and I rode to the bar with Murray in his bigger than life flame belching Caddy. Murray lit off the flame throwers in front of the bar shooting twin fireballs as big as a bus seconds before realizing that the Fools bar was directly across the street from the POLICE STATION!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif luckily there were no Police in sight and we quietly found a parking spot and made our way inside.

[Thirdyfivepickup]

Geeeez! I thought I would be unique by using the "Camera on a stick" to get some overview shots.

CHEATER!

It was great seeing you again and getting to meet some HAMBERS!

Too bad the 'Rulers and Rockstars' are too cool for a little meet and greet...

[bluthndr]

I'm new to the scene but that was the coolest car "show" I've ever been to - and I've been going to them for 14 yrs (I'm 29)... I've done the musclecar thing, done the great big truck thing, now I'm gonna try to build an A-bone with a flattie or an early olds. Got 4 bodies and 3 frames and a flathead core to start with, so hopefully I can make friends with my welder soon and have at it...

BTW - I was impressed by that Magnet guy too. Super nice guy. I think that was the first time I've ever been thanked for coming to a show.

I must have taken 15 pics of that poor boys ride. That was BAD! He gets my vote for best ride - with a close second going to the kustom who burned the paint off his trunk during the show. "Dirty" is the man if he drove it all the way from Motown (and I have no reason to believe he didn't).

I love this stuff - compared to all the other types of cars/trucks/race cars, old school rods have just got more SOUL. Here goes nothin'...

[titus]

I had a great time also, tons aof great cars and people, its fun to put names to faces also, definatley worth the 8 hour drive down, it was the first big trip i made with my coupe and it ran great! see ya all there again next year.

Seriously though, I LOVE making treats for my friends that enjoy them. You are all more then welcome! I made sure I made enough so I wouldn't run out all weekend. This is the first time ever I've come home with some. I guess 10 batches of cookies and 2 batches of brownies was just a couple batches too many. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[62fairlane]

it was badass. I felt weird driving my POS car through all those sweet rides...but I think I had the only car with a parking permit for college dorms on it...what was weirder was when people were taking pictures of my POS and giving me thumbs ups.

BTW me and my buddy painted it in the walmart parking lot in morris on the way to the show on saturday.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Chad, I don't believe the comment was geared toward you at all. It was just bad timing that the Meet and Greet was the same time your band was playing. More prep regarding a time for HAMB folks to meet should have taken place last week. No ones fault but ours. Not yours, thats for sure. You and the rest of the Czars had tons of other stuff to worry about. I feel bad I didn't even think about actually bringing you guys some cookies to the band shell area. My bad. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

If the Pile Up is at the speedway next year, then a more organized "Meet'n Greet" will take place.

I'm gonna make another, larger banner and make some stanchions so it can be put up anywhere on the grounds.

I really wished I coulda met more HAMBr's. There are are so many I wanted to meet.

Next year!!!

Joel http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[38pickup]

I had a great time at the Pileup!!!! It was cool meeting some of the Hambers and the Meet and Greet. I love thoose cookies, you can not eat just one. Cool Pics!

[Django]

That's cool. Sorry, I'm beat... but I just had to see some of the pics from the show. I feel like I only saw like 30 cars the whole time. It was a blast, but make no mistake it took alot of work, and would not have been possible for us without the help of ALOT of people. I saw the HAMB sign and I thought shit I wonder when that was. Bummer.

I still can't believe the show. It's going to take a few days for it all to soak in.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Chad, PM me your snail mail address and I'll get you a CD in the mail tomorrow. It's the least I can do for all your hard work. I got shots of a couple hundred cars and some of the other "action" that revolved around the show.

Woah, woah, whoa, WOAH!
That comment was NOT directed at you, or anyone else running the event. It was just a little joke between HRLC an myself... guess I shoulda PM'd it, sorry... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I know what it takes to run an event this size and all of you guys deserve a "fuck yeah" for pulling it off!

[skyspop]

I also want to say a big thanks the czars,and all who made it work at the show,I'm only to sorry to see the bullshit that went on outside,at the motels,etc.Not a good image for the townfolk,I'm sure.I had a blast,met more great people,and totally got my buddy hooked that rode down with his old chevy.He too is an old timer,with many car shows and events under his belt,and said by far that this was the coolest car show hes been to.I just hope whoever was responsible for pulling the alarm at 1:00 A.M. at the holiday inn,and causing the fire dept.and ambulances to have to show up for their childish bullshit gets a healthy fine,What are they still in grade school?First time in a motel?Sorry,but that is only gonna stop any chance of being invited back to nice places like this!!Hope I'm wrong,'cause it was an awesome job by the guys to put this on,Thanks again,magnet Joe,and everyone else,The cars were awesome,Me and the wife couldnt stop talking about what we should do to our projects all the way home,I think I'll see more of her in the garage this winter,thats a good thing!!

[kustombuilder]

FIRE ALARM!?!?!? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif i musta slept right through that. no wonder we got those fancy little fliers under our door.

[Jer]

The fliers were friday night, fire alarm saturday and I heard the fire department say it was a smoke alarm that got set off. Regardless, I had a good time and appreciate everyone's effort to bring so many awesome cars into one place along with good cookies and brownies.

Any chance to see some pics of the "Zettle Bros" GTO on the back of this pic ??


http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/image_uploads/583636-e.jpg

[Plowboy]

I had an awesome time.

My Mom, Dad, Uncle and Aunt showed up right at the same time as the HAMB meet so I had to go and "babysit" them. They aren't car people at all and were amazed to see my truck on the shirt, even though I told them about it before. I spent a good portion of the afternoon with them so I did not get to talk to a lot of people I wanted to when I saw them walk by. Oh well, maybe next time.

I got a ride down to the bar Saturday night with ContinentalJohn and got really fucked up. Everybody found out what a dickhead I really am. Tyler (FltBlk) gave my drunk ass a ride back to the hotel. I had to fold in half to ride in his little truck. He's hard core driving that thing all the way from Texas.

Max Wedge was giving demonstrations on how to jump start a car in the Hotel parking lot.

Yngrodder tore my ass up and I still have the marks from it. I was even showing people in the parking lot.

Here is my new friend.

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">FLT-BLK and MarkX met up with the Tulsa THEM! last night around 8? and we went back to "Rancho de RASH" where we lived vicariously through their tales of "flame-outs".

Completely miserable weather to be driving in but we couldn't talk them into staying.

They bailed out (literally) around midnight and followed Monkey from my place off 66 back to 75.

They were talking about getting a room somewhere along 75. I hope they did.

It was good to see you guys and MarkX's car looks incredible!

RASHY </font>

[Bob K]

Hey Denise, did you get any pic's of Bleeds shoebox???

[Plowboy]

This buick was awesome. It broke a spindle Saturday night in front of our hotel. The dude got it loaded up on a trailer his buddy brought down for him Sunday morning.

[wingnutz]

Whew...!

Survived another Pile-Up...!

Great seeing you all...!!!!

Mark

[RoadDevil13]

AWESOME!!! thanks for sharing. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Hellfish]

Thanks for all the kind words folks! It's nice to see some of the cars! I didn't see anything!

Sorry we missed the Meet &amp; Greet, but Django and I were playing rockstars at the time. You suckers missed a good show. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

For those of you who weren't at the Holiday Inn, there was some Senator there and some Women's Club there and apparently they didn't appreciate the 'flame outs' (i.e., burnouts) and open headers at 2am.... that prompted the fliers asking people to knock it off. The cops were cool about it. The ASSHOLES sticking OUR stickers all over the hotel were NOT cool. WE, as the organizers, may get fined for that shit. The smoke alarm on friday was caused by someone smoking in a non-smoking room, not a pulled alarm. The manager was frazzled. Certain people will not be allowed at the show next year.

Thanks to all of you for being cool and helping the show be a huge unmanageable success http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Denise's grandstand pics must have been taken REALLY EARLY because by 2pm there wasn't a single open parking space. We packed cars into every single nook and cranny. We'll give you tallys later, but we guessed 600-700 traditional rods &amp; customs. Sure a few "bad" cars snuck in because we got so swamped at the gate, but the vas majority fit the criteria.

I'll post what few pics I have later.

[CptStickfigure]

I had a fantastic time this weekend even though I managed to miss half the festivities. Got a late start Friday and skipped the bands. Ran into a lurker Saturday morning. He drove up in his old racing VW and should really post an intro. He gave me a lot of advice when I first bought my car. Missed the HAMB meet and greet because I was listening to the bands. Missed the bands because I was feeling crappy from standing around in the sun.

Even so, it was a fucking great show.
I went home totally motivated to get some work done so I'm not just standing around next year.

Holy CRAP! What an awesome time. The show ruled. It was a amazing feeling to see all of these cars in the Midwest.

That was the best father-son weekend I've EVER had (that includes the soaking I got on the way down).
I got to meet some really great people (too many to mention)and introduce my Pa to a lot of my friends.
Thanks to Aaron and Melvin for some serious laughs a lot of beer and coming up with the idea to goto the car wash after the bar. Kick Ass!
Also thanks to Rudy and Denise for hauling the bellhousing to the show and Bob and Jake for seeing it make its way to my house. I need a bigger car.

[hotrodladycrusr]

CAS, you and your pop were a BLAST to hang with. It's guys like you two that make weekends like this so special. Who would have thought that so much fun could be had washing road grim off our cars in the middle of the nite. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I sure hope your pop becomes an active member of the HAMB. Please tell your wife I said "hi" and I'm looking forward to taking her to all the Detroit area scrapbook stores when you guys visit. Oh ya, PM me your snail mail address and I'll send your wife a CD of all my photos from last weekend so she can scrapbook them for you. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[yngrodder]

You guys were drunk at the car wash?? I was drinking N/A brew all weekend. Cas better get your dad on here I believe he has a lot of history under his belt thet could help a lot of people on here. I enjoyed my ride in the frosted flake T maybe next time I ride in it I can get a better look at that 4 x 4 intake and those eight exhaust pipes. oh thats right I was seeing double. We got to see a chicks bellybutton at the bar and she was very impressed with me. Plowboy got attached to a huge penis at the bar and then he took it out on me at about 3:30 am in the hotel room ( you can ask the people on the first floor i think we woke them up.
I tore my car up doing burn outs for the one and only Evel Sunday morning it was great!!
That has to be the best show I was at all year. Lookout Detroit I'm loading my cooler now so I dont run out of beer for Billetproof.

"This one? Its yngrodders car. I took these pics at the nats."


Not that one (I do like that one though), I am talking about the roadster at the start of this post.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Sorry bud, it was the only one that I took of it. I really liked it as well. I thought the color was striking.

Waxon 7 (and the 7s) at the bar Saturday night. Wow, what a show. The girls can't resist a rockstar. Things happened with popsicles. Boyfriends got mad. It was classic.

Yeah. That's a good friend of the family, Jim. I've been trying to talk him out of it... he won't budge. He admits its the most fun car he has (has 2 'streetrods' inaddition) hasn't washed it since GG Indy. He also wants to yank the dual carb intake... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I've got his phone number if anyone wants to voice their opinion! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[Stone]

Does anyone have more pics and info on Dirty's truck?That thing is awesome.

[hotrodladycrusr]

I wouldn't normally post these cuz they really don't give you the best stance of the little truck but since you asked for a few more, here ya go.

[PBRmeASAP]

Yes it was a great show, thanks to everyone and the efforts put into it. melted primer off the trunk lid and melted my tail lights (54 chevy throwin flames)...hahaha, but well worth it

[Bixmen]

here's my take on the awesome show!

Great photos..Great show!!!

[Stone]

Great pics.I love to see the pics from such great shows.I'm not able to make it out to the different shows taht you guys go to.Yet,I will one day.Thanks for postin rightous pics.

[Preacher]

thx for the pics... too kool

[jonnycola]

I didn't get to go.... does anyone else have anymore pictures?

Is anyone doing something like last year?

[hotrodladycrusr]

I actually do have alot more. I just need to load them onto a photo hosting site or more here. Either way, tomrrow nite I'll work on it. Check back

[bedllm]

I've got some nice pics, but I need to get a few minutes to transfer 'em from my camera.

Looking at these shots makes me just sigh and go misty eyed. Too bad the Midwest scene has to shut down so long for our danged horrific winters.

As I was pulling out of the show, I was thinking that Hunnert should be in the Spring instead of Fall -- you come out of it so stoked that you want to get out and drive old stuff every day instead of thinking about what to do in the winter!

Bixmen: The full custom '55 Chevy belongs to Al Thompson of Sandwich, Il.

Al is a 64 year young hotrod and custom guy from day one. Al started this car twenty odd years ago and get this, it's a clone of a car he built and showed while living in Hawaii in '60-'61. Man, how many guys do ya know that build a original custom and then builds another to replicate it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Al was there with two more of his buddies w/ their cars and they just loved the show. They can't wait for next year.

Hope this helps.

Joel http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Bixmen]

wow. very cool. now i like the car even more! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I have GOT to make it to the next one that's MY KIND of show!

[/ QUOTE ]

we have it in the Fall to avoid all the other competition and better weather. Anyway, what's stopping you from driving all winter (unless you have a roadster)?? Salt and ice are nasty... but not actually on the ground most of the winter. Us Chicago area guys frequently meet up with scooterists at the vintage hot dog stand all winter long

[bedllm]

Yeah, Hellfish, I figured those were the reasons. Makes good sense to have Pileup in the Fall -- I can't imagine it getting as much attention as it has if it were in August.

As for driving my truck in the winter, I do. I just don't like freezing my ass completely off (no heater), so once it gets past November maybe early December I leave it in the garage more. Go out in it maybe once every week or two in a typical 20-degree January.

Brrr. That's as much as I want to think about that shit right now!
