Awesome weekend, and Mercury Charlie does an awesome job of hosting it.
Don't forget about "Hot Rods and Honey's" Saturday evening too.

 

Coming all the way from NJ!!!

 

DUDE, don't waste your time,,,,,,,,,,,JUST KIDDING. this will be some of the BEST money you ever spent. I went last year , had a blast and learned alot, the man is amazing, and merc charley and crew are the best. you will have a good time. must eat at chuey's and magnolia cafe!!! two of my all time favorite places, take it from the fat guy, they are close to merc charleys place look em up you won't be sorry.

 

MMMMMMmmmmmm, Day of the Drags weekend, DAMN!

 

Will do Jeff!!!!

 

I pick slinging lead with an Icon.

I never thought I'd even get to meet Gene Winfield,
but ended up getting chastised by him in class for not paying attention.

So, I have to take his class again.

 

BTTT, Wish I could make it down... Can't wait to talk to Dustin when He gets back.

 

I signed up for the class and will be driving up from San Antonio in the A.M this is my vacation for the year and worth every penny.

Where do you find out about his classes?

 

Wish I could had fun at the last one we had here......

 

Had a blast,learned loads,and met some great people!! Mercury Charlie,and his crew were the best,and Gene was unreal,the man is a machine.If you have a chance to go to one of his classes,jump on it!!

 

You were learning from some of the best.... I bet you have a need to chop something.

 

Not for a few days anyway,ready for a brake.The whole weekend was balls to the wall,chopping 2 cars was crazy,I'm draggin ass!!

 

Lucky ass

 

I bet it wasn't a sit around the shop, watch Gene work and hangout....

 

wussy ! you gonna let a lil ol 78 year old man whip up on you ! hahaha the man is an animal, and I bet he chased tail all night while you guys were sleeping !! good times huh, I am lookin into puttin on a paint clinic by gene at my shop.

 

I think he said he's 83,and yes,they said untill 2:30 in the morning he was runningMy arm is still sore from holding the dolly for him while he was hammer welding the roof of the merc,it was awesome!!!!If you can get the paint clinic set up,I'll def be there.You and Ian still chopping the shoebox in a week?

 

If the paint clinic works out make sure to tell me.

 

I'll keep ya updated Dave

 

Thanks homie

 

Hey Jeff let me know if you get the paint clinic set up. I would be there

 

For sure. 130am Friday night we were at the Continenal Club, up @ 6am work 12 hours then off to the Continental again til 230am, up @ 6am worked until 530 and then hopped a plane back home, got in @ 130am, at work @ 7am. I'm still beat, but totally worth it.

FYI, Gene has the absolute best pickup line I've ever heard. "Hi, my name's Gene." Gets em every time!!!!!!!

 

Had a blast,nice to meet everybody!!

 

A good time was had by all...even Dustin, at least til the blisters start rising up on his hands from that hot dolly. I had met Gene on a few occasions but this was the first time to meet Mercury Charlie...he and his crew are great folks, wish his shop was a little closer to SoCal though. Lanny Ericson and his 56 Chevy were there as well...I didn't realize how much history that car had until I looked it up on the web later. It was good to listen to Gene and Lanny talk about that car and how much each of them had a hand in its creation. Gene said that his next class would be at his shop on November 27-28th...might be a good time to work off some turkey. I'll be waiting for some pics from Jake when he gets that 38 Poncho mocked up, the roof line was looking real sweet...

 

Man i was on the english wheel for like 6hrs....getting that roof insert right...with some lessons from the master....it was a perfect fit... my goal now is to dump the mig and learn me some hammer welding..... Gene swears by it....

I had a great time in the class, and learned a lot. I'll be at the next one, and not so shy about jumping in...

It was great meeting you all.

We worked until 11pm sunday and then had to load the '38 and drive back to Dallas.
Got home at 4am and Jake had to get up to work at 6.30.
I was totally useless all week.
Damn, but I can't wait until next year.

Mercury Charlie goes above and beyond on this class.
I highly recommend it.
Thumbs up, Charlie and Roxie!

I also want to take the paint class, bad.
