Any good samaritans in So-Cal anymore?

More of the "bbgrl49"

 

Guess it used to have dual exhaust???

This is what it looked like after we got the drivers rear drum off!!!!

This cart with goodies that was walked across the street I dont think will ever see battle again and will be new wheels for the parts cart!!!!


Thats all I got had to leave early for lunch with the wife and parents.. had a good time though...Mitch is a stand up guy...I was asking him about and open house BBQ after the guy next door leaves!!!!

 

Thanks for the pics. The car looks to be in pretty good shape basically. Is there any background on the car and owner? Like how old a person are we talking here and has the car been in her family for years or was a late husbands or what. You know there has to be some kind of history here with the exhaust and the overall condition of the thing. Sounds like everything considered the floor pans may be the big job to getting this back on the road safely. But you all seem to have everything under control. Good job you can be proud when you are done. Now about them cookies she was talkin about.

 

If they are the same for 1952, I could give you the ones off my car, as I won't be needing them after the frame swap.

You guys did a really good thing to help someone out, that you dont even know, thats awesome,

 

Kool Jewel Guys,

I aint got much, but willing to share.......are ya still needing?

 

good on all of you guys.

 

ok so my internet went down saturday morning. I have been itching to get back online and check to see what happened..

Thanks for the pics, Im glad I could help buy some parts and the drinks, I just wish I could have been there to get some grease under my nails.

When the car leaves can someone get a pic of the lady smiling next to it, maybe even a Fonz thumbs up!!! lol

Good stuff guys, its like a christmas gift given early!!

glad to be part of the HAMB

 

now thats some awsome shit

 

Great job HAMBers! I wish I'd seen this thread earlier so I could have been there to watch and learn, and maybe lend a hand cleaning parts or something.

 

I think they still have more to do, they are gathering up some parts... so msg alteredpilot or stay tuned.

i know you said you have the carb and air cleaner taken care of. but if it's doesn't work i have spares (1 carb and 3 chrome louvered air cleaners)......all my 235 stuff is long gone.

 

The Fonz? I thought we said he was a fuckin' nerd. Naaa, Mitch is more like " Carmine, "The Big Ragu"!

 

Yeah...
all i need is a purple satin jacket and some really tight 501's

oh, wait...
that would suck. for everyone involved.

AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!

 

How are things coming along?

 

This is the HAMB at it's finest.

 

How about an update !! I for one would like to see what you did and maybe get some details. This is a great thing and it should not go un-noticed.

 

OKAY...
so as of the first one day thrash...

we got a new clutch disc and pressure plate in, re-installed the transmission, replaced the output shaft yoke, replaced the broken brake return spring, adjusted the brakes and e-brake, set the preload on the front wheel bearings, put plugs in it and took it for a spin.

didn't have a chance to get into the shop this weekend.

we found rear floor pans in the trunk, but the ones in the car look solid. i need to order some fronts and get someone to come down and install them. we got a carb and air cleaner that i'll get around to installing as soon as i get a minute. i need to get the reg. stickers on the car so i can drive the things so we can get the clutch broken in.

things are super wacko right now so as soon as i nail down an open saturday, i"ll put the word out for thrash day number two.

thanks again to EVERYONE involved!

 

alteredpilot, you are truly the real deal. This will all come back around to you one day !!

 

This is H.A.M.B.eriffic!

You are gaeeting a big plus balance in your Karma bank! Just wish I was closer to be able to help out.

Thanks to Happy Hoppy who volunteered to do the front pans...
i'll be calling you within a couple of weeks.

 

I think Karma is working. I have had some nice things come to me lately, I didn't do this for myself, I did it to help a hot rodder but I wont refuse nice things coming my way. I love this place. THE HAMB RULES
