H.A.M.B. = Homemade Antique Mail Box Well I guess its not really antique but its the only thing I could think of. I made this mailbox with the intention of auctioning it off for the board but after reading about the accident in Louisville I felt like it would be more appropriate that proceeds go to Megan (ChevyGirlRox) to hopefully help out a little while she is out of work. Here are the details. It was built by me out of .063 aluminum that was distressed before the pieces were assembled with solid countersunk rivets I got from a friend that builds airplanes. I finished it to look old. I know that faux-tina does not go over that well on cars around here but I hope the bidding parties are more forgiving on mailboxes. Ive got a few hours in the construction and the faux finish. Also the hand lettering on the back (Viva La HAMB) was done by legendary pinstriper Bob Spina. The raw materials were donated by WyoTech. I really meant to get it finished and start the auction before going to Bonneville but I am a terrible procrastinator. Please bid high and bid often. The auction will end one week from now. 9:00pm August 24th Wyoming time. Ill pay shipping anywhere in the continental US once the money has reached Megan. Brick
Where I'm moving, they dont have mailboxes. Maybe I can talk the post office into puttin it where the P.O. box would be. BTTT for a sticky.
I don't know if I would use it for a real mailbox. With the slanted louvers the mail will get wet when it rains. I also made one for Denise and she uses it for a bread box so that's always an option. Brick
Your shit ROCKS Brick! It's gonna look great no matter what the winner uses it for. Heres mine that Brick made me a couple of years ago. I LOVE it and get so many compliments on it.
I'll jump in for a buck and a half $150. My mail box looks pretty plain and it never rains out here anyway. Get well Megan!
You didn't have to do this for me! I really don't know what to say, so I'll just say thanks! That mailbox is sweet!
damn, if I could win this, it means I wouldn't have to steal Denise's... Too righ for my blood, but a short BTTT for a generous HAMBer and a great cause!
That mailbox is the kats ass! I am new to H.A.M.B, how does the bidding work? Are you willing to make more (if that's possible)? You may be onto something here, bud, I think you'd have an waesome market for those out there. Thanks, Koolsville_Daddyo
You shit rocks!!! I mean you shit rocks!!! Oh I really mean You shit ROcks.... Brickster that's that box is killer Poop
The way the bidding works is you bid as much as you're willing to pay before the deadline and if it's more than anyone else you send the money to ChevyGirlRox and I'll send you the Mailbox. I'm am not going to make another one. Believe it or not but it takes a while to do them so I can't just crank them out. Even if I did make another, it wouldn't look like either of the two I've already done. Brick
man brick, that one turned out a lot better than the one i made while i was in wyotech. wish i had money to bid on this one. man it looks good.
Wow, Thanks for all the bids. Just a few more days to go. I can't wait to see who ends up with it and who ever it is I really hope they enjoy it. Brick
Bud you are the winner. Please PM me your shipping address and I'll get the mailbox boxed up and ready for when I get word that the payment arrived. I really want to thank you guys for the nice words and for all the bids. Brick
Great! Thanks Brickster for the auction, you have PM. Megan, money is headed your way. Thanks for the offer Bull, sorry man, but I really wanted this one, hope you understand.
