Event Coverage Overhaulin, SALVAGERZ style

I have some of the best friends and club mates in the world. My dad has had a pretty shitty year so far, in and out of the hospital and just bad news. Well it is time to start getting ready for the Turkey Run and my dad's car is not even close to being ready to go. A bunch of guys got together today to help out. I don't have many pictures, too much work, but we got alot done. I cannot thank these guys enough. And most importantly, these guys made an pretty reserved guy very happy.

 

Excellent - thanks for posting- What the hobby is all about..

Too COOL! Hope to see you and your dad next month at TRR.

 

It helps when you start with something nice. Very cool wagon.

 

He was very surprised. I failed to tell him I had 15 guys coming to work on his car. We will be at TRR for sure.

 

"That's what friends are for" Doesn't get any better then that.

CRUISER

 

fuck yea

 

Couldn't have said it better!

 

That's the way it should be! You have good friends. Nice long roof.

 

They are some real good friends. They were willing to do what ever needs to be done. Most wanted to know when we were gonna be taping it up for primer, so they could come and help.

 

Yeah,i am beat.Glad i could help eat the pizza and supervise.
(i got there a little late,Sorry)

 

Great to have friends!!!!Wish you was on this coast...I would let you use the shop and my booth....hell i wouldve even shot it 4 ya. Glad to see all went well!

 

That's cool! The greatest gift is giving.
Hope your kindness comes back to you guys 10 fold!

 

Good job fellas.

 

i'm off to the shop with a smile..... thanks

 

I could have used the good Karma on the way home from his house. I got a nice $208.00 dollar speeding ticket!

I had a great time helping him out and working with our fellow club members and friends.

Let me know when you guys are ready to tape that thing up. Give me a few weeks to put some money aside for the next speeding ticket though.

 

That was kinda funny. If you had driven the surburban you would have been going way slower, and could have saved some money.

Again I would like to thank everybody, even Squigy.

 

Thanks for the offer. I'm gonna try and shoot it this coming weekend. Still have a few things to finish up first.

 

Sorry I missed this !I could have learned a thing or two but I was stripin up in Jacksonville.

 

How did you make out?

 

That's what this is all about! Post more picks, How's Dad doing, better now I hope..

 

That is all the pics I took. Too busy working. I think Rockabillybus took some also. Dad is doing better, thanks for asking. This was the first work done to the car since the begining of the year.

 

Just a little update. Got more body work done tonight. Electric doors hooked up. Tomorrow weld up door handle holes and start prepping for primer.

 

Kool..Go Mike go!!!

 

man ,,I wish I had friends,,,,

 

Cool story about hot rodders helping each other. Plus Wagons are WAY COOL!!!!! Best of luck with the project. I'm sure all that good karma will pay off in the end.

 

Hey Mike, Hope your Dads doing better. The car is looking good.

 

Looks like you have some great friends. Awesome car, I love wagons. I hope your dad gets to drive the wheels off of it. Post more pics if you can.

 

Yeah he is. Still a few more things to get over. We're trying to beat the last minute rush getting the car ready for Daytona.

 

I hear ya. I took my body off the 35 to get the bodywork done. I am replacing all the bad metal. Not enouph hours in the day. Running out of time as usual. Happy sanding. We will see you up at the Turkey Run.
