be the BIG MAN at the hamb drags--auction

No presure Pooch!

 

Helluva Auction. I can't wait to see the build and final pics. This was a great showing of generosity by all HAMBers who came together and donated parts, labor and time. My hat's off to you all (well if I wore a hat).

Congrats Pooch.

 

We are!

 

I am feeling better and better about loosing this auction

 

ya know, i been thinking..yeah that's a bad thing some times....all this help ya got starein ya in the eye to get this topo together....if we don't tell anyone, ya think i could slide my topo in for a day or two to get it finished...i don't think they'ld know it wasn't the Martian..hell ya seen one topo ya seen em all, right?? PM me back and let me know what ya think

damn!!!!!!!!! thought i was in pm mode...damnit!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

okay, here's the plan after 22 hrs, 354 chrysler hemi, no blower sticking through the hood, torqueflite 8 trans, heaven knows flogging a Topo down the track leaves little time for shifting. Norwell's paint design by Earl. Rear end still thinking.
T-shirts at the Drags this year and a surprise.

 

Next up for auction ???

 

That sounds like a heck of a plan!

Will T Shirts be available for those that can't make the HAMB Drags? If so count me in for one!

 

Yes T-shirts will be available after the Drags more on that later. I don't think we will be quite ready for the Ardmore drags. My machine shop is very good but also slow, but we don't mind waiting for quality.

 

Put me in for a t-shirt (Large Please).

 

boy howdy !!!

 

LOL Better believe it!

 

OK guys, been away until today as am in Thailand. Im cool with the outcome so no stress, in fact I feel like I have won anyway as now have several more HAMB friends so thats great by me. I bid as high as I could and as late as I thought possible and didnt win. Its that simple. Also a shout out to another HAMBer who offered to kick in some cash to keep me in the game - he doesnt want his name mentioned but that was AMAZING.

Jeff you champ re the plaque mate, such another generous offer. I have a 33 leaving LA in a couple of weeks so maybe we can get it in that if possible if not thats cool too, no rush.

Also a big thanks to all those who contributed and bid. I was in a little internet cafe on the side of a dusty road in Thaliand, needless to say the locals wondered why I was so anxious lol.

Finally to the winner - Pooch you dog good on ya mate! It was fun!

Viva Le HAMB!

PS thanks to everyone that has commented with such nice words about me. Maybe we can go out drinking one night and change your views LOL.

PPS Really need a torque tube and driveshaft for a V8 33\34 - Sorry shameless plug

 

t-shirt here please ( XL ) . Don't get no better then this . God bless america.

 

Here's a little inspiration for ya Pooch...

 

At a boy Pooch. May need to schedule another shop visit now to check on progress down the road.

 

OK.... Pooch... The MOON GAS PEDAL has shipped to your address and should arrive on Monday. Tracking number in my email to you.

Jeff that's tuff friend. Makes me wish I was as talented a builder as you are an artist.

 

Put me down for a t-shirt (XL), maybe another for the kiddo (L).

 

Jeff,
Are you gonna change the engine in the Martian artwork to a Hemi instead of what appears to be a nailhead?

Just stirrin' the pot is all.

 

Just Freakin' Awesome!

 

That thing is Sooooooooooooo cool! Jeff you are the man!! Thanks

 

Hey Pooch ! .....I might have to have that banner here so I can...uh...match the colors---yeah, that's it..match the colors Hahaha!

Jeff Norwell = Hero

 

I think the banner might follow the car everywhere it goes. That way everyone that works on it can sign it.
Pooch

 

WOW!! This thread just keeps getting better and better! I love The Martian! Killer work, Jeff!

 

I love it, a workbench that looks like mine !!!!
