    We are moving to Nashville, Tn. in a week. Is there anyone here that can steer me toward any Nashville car clubs that are into the HAMB friendly Rods. I have found a few that are into Street Rods, Muscle Cars, Etc..., but that is not my thing.

    Thanks,
    Jim

    About all I've seen are billet bandits! If you have an import car you can do the Burgers and Cream thing! (I just threw up a little)

    Welcome to TN.....
     
  9. Hey Jim,

    Glad to have ya in the neighborhood! I admit I started life as a billet lovin streetrodder but over the past years have come to love a well built traditional rod (as well as originals). I still like and admire a streetrod now and then but bias-ply over rads is becoming my thing.

    Bring your guns...(if you're really moving into Nashville) "Slashville"
    Be careful and have fun. Have friends (music) there...
    Good move from Mayberry to Nashville.

    Welcome from western KY, about 2 hrs from Nash. Mt. Airy... the original Mayberry, right? Used to live in Morehead City (and no, the name didn't mean a damn thing!)... went through Mt Airy area a couple of times- pretty country, and not too much different from Nashville as far as terrain goes. Hope you enjoy it, and have a great road trip!

    Thanks Guys, we are definately stoked to be living in Nashville. We have rented a house with a 1 car garage and plan to buy a place as soon as we get the feel of the city. The Wife wants to buy a nice house with a garage, I want a nice garage with a house. I guess a compromise is in order.

    Looking forward to meeting some of the Middle Tenn. HAMBers.

    Jim

    Jim,

    Welcome to Nashville. I live 30 miles southeast in Murfreesboro. There is a huge cruise every Friday evening in M'boro at the Avenue shopping center, Exit 76 off I-24. On Saturday nights there is a huge cruise in at Providence shopping center Exit 226 Off I-40. You will past the Providence shopping center on your way into Nashville. There is the one at Franklin. Also there is a cruise in up in Hendersonville, north of Nashville, at the Home Depot on Friday nights. I would say go to the cruise in and you will meet up with some Muscle Car guys. I am not sure of finding a "club" but you may find some guys to run around with. I have a 55 Ford F100. If you see it out come over and holler. Definitely get in touch with Mike (Earl Scheib) real good guy. The Goodguys car show is like May 20 or so at the Tennessee Titans stadium. Welcome again to Middle TN

    From what I saw when I was living in Nashville. Alot of the car clubs in town are about the look and fashion of the "car culture". Tons of cool people and alot of fakers.

    It is just warm weather normally from the First Friday in May to the 1st Friday in October
     
  22. Welcome to town. Nashvegas has plenty of car and bike guys running all over town. Once the weather warms a bit, you will notice them out and about.

    Well, the movers packed all the big crap. I think 2 of them have hernias from my tool box. Ill be driving a small Uhaul to N-ville with enough crap to tide us over. My old truck has to stay in NC for a few weeks, but Ill be back to get it. Anyone interested in a roadtrip and an 8hr ride in to N-ville in "The Beater"?

    Welcome to Middle Tennessee. I live in Lebanon. Other posters have mentioned the warm weather cruise-ins, there all a good time. Don't miss the swap meet at Nashville fairgrounds Sun. Feb 7. It opens at 6:30 am. Myself & the world famous Earl Scheib have spots in Bld. F , 77-79. Whether or not you need/have room for any of our junk /quality used parts stop & say hello.
