Folks Of Interest Pork-N-beans gone Hollywood! Extra extra

Was reading threw #52 of the rodders journal and I stop in my tracks and see our very own Hoodlum @porknbeaner right there doing his world famous “super tune”!

 

I can say I knew him back when lol.

I believe @Ryan took that photo getting @Kevin Lee aka grimlock modified running.

I’ve always dug that photo, cool to see it pop up

 

Benno is one of the HAMBers I’d like to meet. Our lives seem to have run a parallel track, half a country apart.

 

Lol, that's our Bean.

 

Happy New Year Beaner...milestones...that's a bit of an FULL page HAMB honor without question...such a awesome publication RJ was...forever a great addition to bookshelves everywhere...

 

Me, too. It's like listening to a song that brings back vivid memories or feelings.
It's art

Beano is a dirty neck biker, I love him! HRP

 

Fame!

 

Is any Wondah?

 

And they said its a face only a mother could love. lol

 

Hope he remembers the little people.

 

I was there when he made that face. He got the old mill running and The Keven Lee got to take his virgin ride.

A man among men.

 

After that I hope he got to take the car around the block lol

 

Will success and fame spoil the Beaner?

 

That is a rare photo of the short haired version of Pork N Beaner. Also, uncredited in the photo is the right arm of HAMBer Blakmerk. I'm proud to say I knew them both before they were famous.

-Abone.

 

Swoon....lol.
Beaner is one of the good guys. I'd like to meet him in person and hang out with him.

 

Neato'.........I guess I never realized it that my homemade 'air compressor' is in the background. That was a great day.

Here was the post from the boss back in 2018.

 

Here is the same mag shot LARGE from Ryan's post.

 

Very Cool!

 

I've seen that photo a number of times and never realized it was him! I'm so used to the long-haired version

 

I honestly don’t think I knew it was him until one day he showed it to me and was telling the tale!

 

I can’t believe the man of the hour hasn’t poked in too say hi to his adoring fans!

 

That photo is just a snap shot in time from a damned good day. I have to say something about the boss ( @Ryan ) here. I have known him since the last century. He as always had a good eye for photography and is an Ace at capturing a moment, and not disturbing the time at hand.

I don't recall how many of us we there that day. The Pharos came down from St Jo (about 45 minutes or 30 minutes for them) me and @sodbuster and @raven from the metro and @Ryan of course. @Kevin Lee ( known as grimloc at the time) had built this whole car from pieces in his basement. We rolled it out into the sun and everyone got their hands on some part of it. brakes, fuel system, etc.

Me and Brad ( @Blakmerk ) were getting the heads together. Kevin had steel shim gaskets, someone produced a spray can of Copper Coat and by the time we got to the engine with the heads we were both sticky to the shoulders. We set the studs and then the heads. Brad was handing me head nuts and washers, my back was fighting me a little bit. Brad had just handed me a nut and I said, "All these damned rocker cover nuts, why does Ford use so goddamned many rocker cover bolts." I managed a big grin after that statement.

We did not have a working fuel pump, but we Gerry Rigged a fuel supply. Popped a condensor on first crank, Ryan produced a brandy new one from his jockey box. next crank it lit right off. Grimloc went from Grimloc to Grin loc in an instant.


That was a damned good day.

 

ya know I left out a pretty important people. @Kevin Lee 's buddy. I can never remember his name (which shames me some) a little dark haired dude. This guy is cool to the bone. I like him real well.

 

Ohhhh, my aching head, somebody get me a Budweiser. Lol

 

In the original post at the top it looks like flames coming out of the carb.
