be the BIG MAN at the hamb drags--auction

Helluva thing going here guys, congrats Pooch!

 

i guess it really came down to which server processed the 10 oclock post the fastest.....Pete i thought i had ya covered, sorry dude...

great auction, lots of stuff added to make it a steal of a deal for the monies paid..........hopefully the car turns out as the quality of what this site stands for.....hell half the time i wonder if i could do my topolno better...guess we'll see in the end......

once funds transfer, i'll need the new owners info to do the title transfer...the car and the title match and are the real deal..the DMV check cleared it A OK....it just had to be titled into my name as the person who filled to run the title check.......

 

All I can say is WOW.......... what an auction..... Congrats Pooch.... I can't wait to see the build thread on this car.....

 

What a western shoot out. Bob thanks for everything, this was the best auction that I have ever seen. Iam proud to have been part of it.

Congrats... Pooch.. Moon Pedal on it's way to you.

I sent a PM to Pooch - but if any HAMBers donated parts that need
hauling anywhere between Maine and wherever the body is headed
please PM me ......

I will be dropping off in Monson, Maine 04464 around August 14th
and have room headed west to California to bring donated parts
to Oklahoma - Texas - ???? along the way

see ya in joplin.. Congrats ryan ,good job guys.

 

Holy Chit!! That was cool.

 

Congrats to all, this was fun to watch! Now lets see the buildup!

 

Another HAMB auction in the books. This one WAS a Topper for sure and right down to the wire. It will be interesting to see this project come together and I'm hoping the progress is shared here on the HAMB. Ryan, you've created a great place for guys with traditional hot rod blood running through thier veins and I'm proud to be a miniscule part of it.

I guess you have no clue!


Btw...Your avatar is freaky!!

 

As you know I am pooch's dad. There is a 354 hemi already in the machine shop it's a start.

 

bummer it's not the Nailhead. oh well.

but damn good of you.

 

Hey wait a minute I wanna bid still. I reset the clock on my computer and everything.

Sorry I just didn't want to miss out on the drama.

Congrats to whichever one of you fellas won this thing.

Now I can send the wheels to the HAMB Drags can someone get them to where the body is so they can travel to the final destination with it? it relay time fellas.

 

pooch and I will be at the drags, cars #3 & #4

 

Awesome auction action! Congrats to the winners and all who donated. Too cool

 

OK guys here is the list if I missed something or someone let me know.
Here is the plan so far,
Flat top Bob is bringing the car to the HAMB Drags and dropping it off at my shop after. If you can get your parts to the drags get them to Bob or Me and they will get back here with the car. Make sure we know who you are and what you donated.

I will be answering PMs at lunch and later tonight so if you have any questions PM me. I

I know the auction just ended but any plans for the car? Will The Martian theme be carried through???

 

When and where are the HAMB drags? I won't be able to make it, (too far and too wet to drive there) but if there is any event coverage I'd like to see it. Especially if there is a segment in there about this Topo. This thread has been killer!

 

I saw this post for a week before I finally decided to read it today. Wow. You guys rock.

 

Is it running yet?

 

almost, I'm waiting on the machine shop

 

Thanks Jeff, Awesome gesture, If it will be at the drags I can pick up there or I will gladly pay shipping from you or Bobs. Thanks again to everyone that made this happen. Awesome!!

 

it was a joke

 

Hey Pooch, don't forget you guys are welcome to use the tubing bender. It's set up for 1 5/8", which is what you will need for the cage.

 

How bout now?

 

Thanks, I need to come by and look at the Fly.
Your loving this arent you? You have been after me for years to build an A altered. I think this one is close enough.

 

wish they'ld get it together...the title came today..if they had it done by now i could claim ownership for a drive...oh yeah , i do own it today

 

Welcome to our merry band of Topolino owners. There are lot's of us looking forward to seeing how you put it together.

 

I feel like the whole HAMB is watching me like a bug under a microscope.
