Hamb-burger Horseshoes, Central Ill-Annoys folks look here!!

Thanks for the invite...Glo and I had a GREAT time!! Sure nice to see all of you again. Man, what a turn-out!!

Sam - a word to the wise... better change your locks! I was trying to figure out a note on the kitchen table: Call SoS, re: "GLO BIRD" now I know why. I'm sure Glo and Stef used more $ in gas than the stuff they brought back.

 

You gotta try to make it next time. If they do this again in a month or so, Jesse and I should be able to go. With any luck we'll even have two extra gears.

 

just learn from my mistakes

 

Where's the rest of the pics???

Some guy had a semi sweet Shoebox with 2 hubcaps that wants to see the results!

 

Yeah, measure once, cut twice.... or measure twice, cut once.... or is that... Aw crap, I forget. Anyway, thanks for the good info.

 

Relax...... As soon as they're done you'll know.

 

Thanks for the invite, guys. Had a great time and had an excuse to get the '32 going again after the carb. fire. Hope to do it again.

 

Nice meeting you Waldo. If you get a chance send me some pics of your 57s.

 

Should we try to park all together? Last year the parking "directors" were azzholes-TOLD you where to park, I don't know how to go about getting our own preferred "club" spot.

 

Sam I usually just nod when they tell me where to park and drive right by but yes we should all try to get together I think. Im not sure who else is going though

 

Ill be there Sat But sunday going to a car show that is a benefit for a fellow rodders Daughter that is 18 months with Heart problems.

 

Saturday night is cruise night in Jville, with chicken shit car show on Sunday. Not sure yet where we end up.

 

me and bottle caps are going to be there in my pile- bright and early

 

Ill be there bright and early as well. just waitn in the ol binder.

 

So the photographer is a really busy guy with trying to get school squared away so he can attend an art school but I am as impatient as all of you.
I hope my pix from the day will help while WE wait.

they help a lil by the way my truck is back on the road now,,,when is the next one

 

I can speak Rushvillian, allow me to translate, he meant to say his truck is back on the road!!

And for the bad news, stupid kid in 4x4 pickup pulled out in front of Pops on the way home. Pops nailed him just behind rear wheel. He's okay but the Studebaker is done for.

 

SUX! Glad your Dad is OK.
Post pics of the stupid kid

 

Man that blows, glad he is OK

BBC

 

AARRGGHH!!! That really bites. Glad your dad's OK though. Cars can be replaced easy enough. Dads, not so easy.

 

Glad to hear your now is running now. My later will get the tranny later. Not enough time to get it finished before the Pile Up.

How's my Rushvillian?

 

I’m echoing here, but good thing your Pops is OK. I read in a magazine that no car is truly dead with all the skill in this hobby and shortage of metal. I saw some really great cars in your area this weekend at the Route 66 car show (I took my nephew), and at the Lunch a few weeks back. You sure it can’t be reincarnated? Just ask'n.

 

I've seem alot of his metal work,,,he is good but I dont think he is that good

 

I'm thinkin its terminal.

Everything in front of firewall is bent including the drivers side framerail.

(edit) The passenger headlights and trim are still straight. Whooo-fuckin-hooo.

Not sure what gonna happen to it, I dont have the heart to take her apart just yet.

 

Now that's just sad right there.

 

Sad ain't the word! She's gonna sit for a while, but we'll make a "Phoenix" of some sort; 'cause the engine will still turn over. I don't think it's hurt badly. Just sayin'!

Castr8r aka "Pops"

 

Thats a frikkin shame
Cut the back half off and give it to me or Plowboy there is a nice roof skin there too

 

OUCH!!

Good to know your Dad's ok man!!

 

Whew! Proof that you're okay... the index fingers work!!!! So glad it wasn't worse Charlie. Like you say, it will rise again in some form. Too many memories not to. Here's a pic of the "Outspokesman for a Generation" at the Rust Revival last May.

 

jay that sucks

glad to hear that your dad is ok.
