New HAMB friends / Detroit Panel Jam Weekend

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

I thought I would post some pics from my great weekend at the Detroit Panel Jam weekend. I thought I took alot more pics, alas, I did not.

I really enjoyed myself and appreciate all the good people I met.

Here's some from the actual Jam. Many Hambr's there.

It's pretty freakin' hilarious putting faces to names sometimes.

I've got to try my hand at striping one of these days...

[whodaky]

Great images P Pan always good to see others work and also the people and being able to put names to faces!

[jdubbya]

And I was amazed and upset when I found out that Peter Pan of Chicago wasn't able to fly and prefered fur coats to the usual green tights. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Thanks for the pics. -Joe

[hotrodladycrusr]

and that's NOT how I pictured Unk Ian. Don't ask me how I had him pictured cuz I really don't know, but looking like a mountain man wasn't it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I guess with you live in the frozen north your bound to have some facial hair http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fast Elvis]

Great pic's Peter Pan.... will there another Detroit panel Jam in the future?

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Hey Fast Elvis: There will be a Detroit Jam next January. It will be their 10th. anniversery. I hope it will be a blowout. There will also be a International Letterheads meet in Detroit later this summer. This is a big deal. It will encompass hand lettering and striping. I'm saving up for it!

Jdubbya: I had to give up "Flying" in the very early 80's. Part of my parole conditions. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Denise: I know what ya mean about Unk Ian. He looks different than what I imagined. Kool guy though.

It is great to put faces with all these kool names we all have. I gotta get to Tejas for 'dem Hamb'r hot rod events.

[RileyRacing]

Glad you had a good time... you fit in like a natural Gay Bitch! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You'll have to come back for another shindig sometime.

..........NOT!!!

[Unkl Ian]

It would be real kool if we could have a Panel Jam at a car show this Summer.

Of course,if a Striper was working the show,we wouldn't want to step on their toes.

[Fast Elvis]

That's a great idea Unkl Ian... I can see it now....the First Annual H.A.M.B. Panel Jam, Cruise In and Members Meeting, or something like that.... overal one dam fine time! With warmer weather and a cold one! I'm in!!

[hotrodladycrusr]

How about a Panel Jam at the Detroit area Billetproof, Sunday, June 6th? Talk to BilletproofDude about it.

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

So Denise, Billetproof will be in Michigan on June 6th, eh?

I'm there! Let's do it! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fast Elvis]

I hope I'm not cutting in on your fun but if anyone else is planing on cruising into Billetproof to do a Panel Jam in June....I'd love to hop into the ol hot rod and hook up with you all for a cold one and some tire kicking if thats OK!

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Hell yes, F.E., da more da merrier! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[KIRK!]

A panel jam would be sweet. We could hook you guys up with some free indoor space for it.

Indoors is good.Is there alot of light?

Was there a Striper working that show last year ?
Safariknut maybe ?
Alot of Stripers depend on these shows for their livelyhood,don't want to create any conflicts.

When and Where is the show ??

June 6 ?

[Big A]

The 1st Ever HAMB CAN/AM Panel Jam.

I just wrote that on my calendar... in ink.

[safariknut]

I'm up for it.Seeing as it is going to occur on D-Day(the 6th of June)we could call it the."Invasion of Detroit"or some other such thing.
I haven't even scheduled any shows this year so far except maybe the Ypsi Area Street Rods kick off in May.Keep me up on what's happening.
Ray

[Fast Elvis]

YEAH BABY!!...The Invansion of Detroit has a great ring to it Safariknut! Instead of storming the beaches like on D-Day will be takin it to the streets! I'm pumped already...we should do this for sure. Count me in everyone!

I have an idea for a panel.Did one similar for a jam in New Jersey called,"Flocking to Alan Johnson's" with airbrushes flying in formation with wings made of striping brushes.I'll see if I can bring up a pic of it.

[Fast Elvis]

Great looking panel Safariknut!! It would be sweet if we can get this June Panel Jam up and off the ground like those mack knifes on your panel. Here's hoping!

[RileyRacing]

Even though I am not a striper, or artistic by any means, I hope that you guys do have a "jam". Some of the stuff Ray had the night before in his "briefcase" was awesome stuff. And I would like to see it as it happens, maybe even learn something. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jay

[Fast Elvis]

Hey RocketJ2, I'm one of those closet stripers, you know the type,I wish I could do it too, but not well... really have alot of respect for the stripers and the art form!! I'd love to be there just to watch these craftmen do there thing plus have a great time with some great people!

[RileyRacing]

Then you'll be in good company! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jay

[Fast Elvis]

Right on Jay!!.... I'll buy ya beer if we make it there!

Cheers, Mark

[Unkl Ian]

Whos is the promoter for this show ?
Besides Kirk.

[Fast Elvis]

Oh by the way RocketJ2... I heard about your Dad in the U of M Hospital, I hope he's doing well! Tell him you'll bring him to the Panel Jam,... doctors orders.

Regards, Mark

[RileyRacing]

Thanks FE, he already knows. MercMan1951 made that pretty clear! But thanks for the good vibes... after the week we've had, we can use em all! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jay

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Hey Guys & Gurls,

I like the way this post is going. If we can get some inside space, Let's all get together and have a ball. I'd love to come there and be part of this. I'm only interested in makin' panels, meeting new people, and drinking a beer with like minded people. I'm not looking to make any dough, But I will donate a stripin' job on anybodies short. Especially, if it's in primer. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I'll see ya all at the " Longest Day Stripe Off ". http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Joel

p.s. My Pop was D-Day + 3. with only a 20 mile beachhead. Said he didn't expend any bodily functions for 3 days after that. I can only imagine!

[Fast Elvis]

I'll second Mr. Pan's motion on this "good time for all gearheads". It be a hoot watching Mr. Pan cookin with some 1 shot on a brush and a blank hood, trunk or whatever in front of him or for that matter any of the other talented HANB Panel Team members at this gig in June. We just might have to get together before hand to have a planning PARTY... Oh I mean planning MEETING...what was I thinking of. But PARTY does sound better Cheers F.E.

[100mphwheelspinner]

Im not sure what all is going on around me that weekend. what do you have to do to be in a paneljam??? I new to all of this. Maby I will load up my brushes in my model a and join ya. let me know whats up.

[Fast Elvis]

Com'on down 100mphwheelspinner! Bring the hot rod, your brushes and enjoy the company of some great folks. At the moment wheelspinner I believe this whole panel jam is in the planning stages. Kirk of Billetproof was good enough to e-mail me that Davisburg MI. is the location there shooting for and the rest of us have been talking about doing a panel jam at the show.
What is a Panel Jam? I would say it's a gathering of like minded people that enjoy expressing there artistic talents through the medium of 1 shot, a mack knife(brush) and any surface they choose. If I screwed up on that definition I know someone will correct me, because I must confess I have not been to a Panel Jam either but I'll be at my first one this June having hoot!.....we hope.

[KIRK!]

OK, it's official. Billetproof Detroit is ON!!!!! It's June 6th in Davisburg, MI. I'll post more info later but we'd like to officially add the panel jam. The thing is though that we need someone to organize and run it. If you're interested let me know. kirk@billetproof.com

[hotrodladycrusr]

I nominated Ray Smith, Safariknut, to organize and run the Panel Jam with Peter Pan of Chicago as the co-chairperson. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fast Elvis]

Sounds like the party/Panel Jam is on for June 6/04 at Billetproof if the nominations are excepted by Ray and Mr. Pan....Let me know what I can do to help.... Should be FUN!!! Cheers F.E.

Well Denise I'm not much of an organizer but I will be willing to help in any way I can to get it going.I've already PM'd Kirk about keeping me in the info pipeline.What I can do is get together with my friend Shane Syx(yes that's his real name)who has hosted a bunch of these and get some ideas.
Ray

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Hey Ray, Denise, Any help ya need, count me in! What can I do?

Idea #1: Can we get a local Michigan(Gay) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif artist to draw up a Panel Jam logo in conjunction with whatever Kirk puts together? Just a thought.

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

[safariknut]

Here's a couple pics of a "Panel in Progress"for the Autorama get-together.Still not finished but I'm working on it between periods of the hockey game.

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Just beautiful Ray!

By the way, Thursday night at the Chi-Town World of Wheels set up, I spied one of your Pinstriped barrels as part of a Rat Fink display. Very, very Sharp!

It was right next to one of my best buddie's kid's ride. It is so Sharp, it almost walked off with me. Hee Hee http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Very Sharp!

[/ QUOTE ]
You don't remember what was on it do you Joel?It might have been one that I collaborated on with Shane or maybe the purple barrel that got started at Joe Sulpy's in Jersey and went around the country.I'd be curious.
Ray

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Ray,

It was a maroon barrel, I think. It had one your sun swirls on the lid in red. It had all sorts of designs in various colors. It had a large spider of yours in green or blue, which is what I noticed first. There was another barrel there with a little of your stuff and more of others.

It was part of a large Rat Fink statue. There were a couple of photo albums with all sorts of under construction hotrods. I think they were from Pennsylvania, a Custom shop there.

I didn't really understand the display. Whoever had it was gone when I noticed it. I am going again Sunday and will get more info.

I took pics of your barrel and will post Monday or Tuesday evening. I'll PM ya. I remember you talking about a couple barrels you did at the Detroit Jam.

Very Sharp, Ray!

It wasn't the motorized Rat Fink was it?There was a guy at Dayton last year that had a huge fibreglass Rat Fink that Ed had built that was powered by a 12V Cadillac starter motor.I forget his name(I'm lucky I can remember my own)but I think he had a shop.LMK
Ray

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

Ray, I think that was what that Rat Fink was. It's tall and has da Fink sitting a small hotrod. Yep, all fiberglass. It's a tribute display to Big Daddy.

Anyway, He has your barrel with alot of good stuff on it.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Joel, while this post has your attention, Race, Roadstar's son is in Chicago right now at the WOW. He works for ISCA and does the Absorber display and another one, can't remember exactly. If you walk by there tomorrow, stop in and ask for him, name's easy to remember, introduce yourself, tell him I said "hi".

[roadstar]

He was helping out at the Eagle One booth. I think He's gonna own the show someday http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Fast Elvis]

Just wondering Ray,Joel and Denise how many stripers show up for one of these Panel Jam's usually?

[Fast Elvis]

Oh, Ray very nice looking Panel your doing for Autorama...top shelf!
