Lets see how F!@##!@ing rad this site is..

I have never seen a site that networks it the way you guys doo ,yeah I feel ive been missing something really good..

I sold my 50 Ford to Manabu ,, went to Japan about 7 years ago car ,, vanished and he vanished What I want to know where is it ??? and who owns it.. I want to buy it back,, that car was me?? have you all seen the clones,, some close.. but it aint the O.G I havent had a ride since then..

2nd who owns my old front engine dragster,, I sold it on E-bay at the time as the 50 Ford. Guy said hey if I Win the auction can you get it to Arizona tomorrow said sure,, hung up Thought is this F!@#!@ing guy insane, sure enough 15 minutes later he called back and said looks like yer going to A.Z,, Thought how the F!@!@# am i gonna pull dis ChiT!! off,, why this was soo important to be there tomorrow he just bought this sick ass bliNg BlaNg ! trailer,, you know the one where you can stack cars inside,, So I called Billy BoI Billys Chop ShoP.. came over the next day and we bounced out.. Soo Alls I know is a guy bought it for his private museum, on the East Coast.. don't have a name,, or #

Maybe you guys can help to pull this off,, by finding the 50 Ford. I'd be Gladly to BreAk a MuthA off $$$$$$$ 4 for his/her time.. I' m just curious what happened to both of them.. This was 7 years ago Soo lets see the power of the H.A.M.B

 

I wondered what happened to that Ford. Remember when you parked it out front of the model car show in Santa Clara? This is why I don't sell much, I always regret it. Dean

 

good luck. i would have never let that go. smart trying to find it again. if anyplace can find them, its here.

 

Bump, anyone know any information?????
I dugg the TRJ article on your car and the Impala, my favorite!!!

 

I really liked your ride. do you have better pics also what mag did it appear on?

 

That is one baaaaad-ass 50. I love the elimination and smoothing of the front parking/signal lights, I gotta do that to my car.

Please post some more pics.

 

both those cars cause the blood to rush away from my brain. AWESOME! i woulda had a real hard time letting go of either... but then i can't let go of the junk i have and it's just that. JUNK.

 

Good Luck Man. That Ford Has To Be Missed.

 

Do you really speak like this? Yo yo yo...

 

Is Nori still around? He is in Japan and use to know all the hot rodders and custom car guys there. Does anybody still talk to him?

 

I sent the pic off to my man in Japan... he's pretty connected with all the car guys in Japan since he's one of the few guys that works on vintage cars & bikes there. I'll let you know what he finds out

 

I do remember you shooting off your flame throwers in paso and them almost engulfing your car!!!!!

 

Hey, even if we dont find your car....we're still pretty f!@##!@ing rad

 

My buddy trains budo tai jitsu and is going to Japan to train this year. I'm giving him some loot to bring me back all the car mag's and japanese porn he can find. If you don't come up with anything I will scour the car mags for you.

 

Some one told me it was in some mag at a show,, kinda sittn in the back ground,, I don't know the name of the mag though.. or how long ago it was.. Thanks guys for helping ,, I have a copy of Manabu, how ever you spell it.. add from the mag.. I'll look for it and see if I still have it.. Thanks again for everything.. ~S


Heres his old add from Japan. .I do know he was selling it to his customer.. I would really like to buy the car back if possible.. there was a guy form japan on the space helping me,, but nothing ever happened this was about 4/5 months ago..

 

You might want to hit up the guys in the Kool Grease c.c. from japan and see if they have seen the car around, they have a myspace page.

Steve, get yo punk ass ova to my pad....I need some help

 

I know some people in Japan, I'll send the link to them and cross my fingers....

 

id love to see that ford now.. ive had a poster of it on my wall forever

 

I have a pic of it in my shop too, no idea where I got it. I had no idea who built it. Whats funny is it's right next to a pic of that bedless pick up in TRJ Steve worked on too. Bizarro.

 

try burnout magizine.. I beleive they are a jap mag that sells in the states

 

By the time you've tracked the car down and enticed the bucks-up japanese dude to part with it, paid shipping and whatever brokerage fees are applicable.... could you not find another dry shoebox and built a duplicate for much less $$$$??

 

hey Steve....you can't be blowing huge fuckin fireballs out by the Oakland airport anymore...damn feds would come at us nowadays and bust yer ass for some terrorist act !!! Man just build another one,better and cheaper than gettin the old one back!(put real floors in it this time so the flamethrowers don't light the floor on fire)

 

good luck man.

 

When the world turns around another 1/2 revolution, they'll see it...

There's a few Japanese HAMBers aboard. Best bet would be to edit the subject line to include "looking for my old car in Japan"... or some such thing...

Was that shoebox in the first or second issue of Hotrod Deluxe blowin flames? I love the color scheme on it and the flames. later shawn

 

Yo Steve I did the art work for that company and I have some friends there and I`ll try to find out if there still in business......Hey remember when you wanted to take the top off your ford and make a bubble top out of it lol.I`ll
still have the drawing eather you did or somebody else did of it with a bubble top on it .oooooohhhhhhhhhhh scarry man .........

Have you checked into what it will take for shipping $$ , and import fees and whatever else the Gov can hit you with? Plus, guy likely can sell it for plenty in Japan, a lot more than sold for. I had a Chopped '54 Chevy that is in Japan, wish I never did. Build a clone, and say it is back.

 

why did you sell them in the first place? is it cause you lost interest or did you have other projects to support. Also for the ford was that mag your first photo shoot? I can't remember the mag I think it was super rods.

 

If I recall correctly, Steve sold both to fund his business.
