    Talked to Dennis last night & he said that a few cars in the basement were identified as HAMB members cars.
    He told me to tell everybody that if we let him know that if a car belongs a HAMBer, he'll try to group all of us together.
    If you didn't put HAMB on the registration, PM me with the name on the form & I'll pass it onto him.

    so pardon my ignorace here, but it's my first time entering a car into autorama... is there any access to a hose or anything to rinse the cars off? i'm gonna be driving the 54 down, and if this shitty MI weather is any indication of things, it'll still be shitty in a month, and my car is gonna be a goddam mess by the time i get to cobo..

    There has been a hose set up just outside the back loading door in the basement the past few years I've been there.

    Does it count if a couple of my buddies are gonna set up their cars and we're just gonna be there as spectators? Orbitron, Milk Truck?
     
  13. Looks like I missed this thread and the thread I started got missed my everyone else:eek:

    http://jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=330294

    Dennis and I have started laying cars out on the floor plan and have clubs and a few people request to be parked togeather but not much HAMB spicific request.

    So far it's shaping up to be a great show as always many new cars, and with more room this year I feel there will be something for everyone.
     
  14. It's gonna be a great show.
     
  15. Were going and taking Jim Darby's bad ass 40 coupe

    To tell you the truth I do not pay attention to who sponsors what...To me its just Detroit and a chance to talk to some like minded people for the most part..........Its too distracting and takes too much time and mis guided energy to complain over names or this magazine that or this.....I am thankful for the venue no matter who sponsors it.............no sponsors no mid winter escape show.........But thats me...I am fairly easy to get along with........Littleman...I have yet to meet anyone at the Detroit show that I did not like....

    Lucky to get any sponsors in this day and age......The USA is in bad shape....

    My move in passes arrived in the mail Friday. I think there's 7-8 of us Nightmares that plan on having cars there. My pal Clay (Hillbilly Hell) is coming up from VA. with some of his bikes. Last night I got my old intake off and I'm starting to get things going with the new six deuce setup for the sedan. I'm heading to Mexico in less than two weeks and Viva Las Vegas in April. But I'm way more excited about these four days in Detroit, can't wait to see everybody!

    Here's a pic of the sedan in case you missed the thread I started yesterday.

    Somebody mentioned to me that there are only 15 "working" days until the show...

    AAARRGH!!! :eek::eek::eek:
     
  22. Ok last chance to let me know if you want a HAMB area.

    I have to admit there hasn't been much of a response.

    I will say there are plenty of HAMB people entered and do support the show but they are mostly involved with clubs and have already been placed togeathr on the floor.

    THe Singlefingerhotrrods are togeather in one area and I do have a open isle near them that I saved for HAMB members, so I will still do what I can if I get anymore intrest.

    Thanks to everyone that has already entered, we are way ahead on entrys compared to years past and have some really good stuff to show.

    See everyone in a couple of weeks.
     
  23. A HAMB meet and greet area would be GREAT!!!

    Last year there was a little confusion, but we managed to gather near the "Rat Fink" tribute marry-go-round in the lower level (aka basement)

    Get Dennise involved, maybe she'll even bring her world famous cookies?!!
     
  24. The Singlefinger crew will be hosting a "meet & greet" for the HAMBers every day.

    You can PM Safari-Wagon, he has offered to host the meet and greet near his 4 car display.

    There was no confusion last year, the Meet & Greets were all planned for that exact spot well in advance and there was a huge Meet & Greet and Roll Call thead up to let folks know well before the show which I'll once again do here shortly. Like Roadster said, Safari-Wagon has offered his display area for the festivities and has even offered to supply snacks and beverages. I'll also once again be hosting a HAMB Mingle at my place on the Saturday night of the Autorama. I sure hope you can make it. I'll get a seperate M&G/Roll Call thread up here later tonight along with some other tid bits of info for folks visiting the area.
     
  26. Dennise,

    Sorry, the confusion was on my part?!:eek:
    I was upstairs with the pinstripers and didn't find out about the basement location until about 5 minute before we (HAMBers) gather for the group photo!:D

    I'm still planning on attending and might even make an apperance at your place...If I don't end up somewhere else?!?:eek:
