    Do it. I have had the pleasure of participating in several of Gene's workshops. It is a life changing experience. You will never forget it. Gene is one in million. And the fact that it is TWO days is even better. Bargain of the century.

    The Syracuse Airport is only about 5 miles from the Host Hotel. The Host Hotel is the Holiday Inn Electronics Parkway Liverpool NY. The Class is about 35 miles Northwest
    (as the Crow flies) in Red Creek N.Y. Hope this helps.

    will you have a van for rides from the hotel? That would be a long walk and an expensive cab.

    Also cannt find that hotel listed. Never mind I found it, do have special rate for the event? Kayak lists it at $108

    VOODOO ROD & CUSTOM: I am new to this site. Thank-you for posting a flier for me. I am already receiving calls from this. My son John Barber is living and apprenticing with Gene in Mojave, CA. He is 19 and they call him New York John there. What an opportunity he has been offered by such a Legend.

    Hey Bob, welcome to the H.A.M.B. Your son has a very cool opportunity in life.

    I was associated with the shop that did Gene's seminar in 2010. We all had a great

    time. Gene is a Super Person with a lifetime of knowledge. Gene is also a great

    Teacher. Your son and the attendees for the seminar will learn from a true Master

    of our trade.

    Take care ,
    Mark

    I spoke to Bob Barber last night. There are 20 people in so far so its definitely a go. So far nobody has stepped up to offer a car to chop during the class. If anyone wants a Gene Winfield chop then call Bob and talk to him about it.

    I am signed up and payment sent. Next is flight, hotel, and Rental car. I look forward to the class and hanging out with Gene and anyone who attends.

    I'm in!

    I just spoke with Bob Barber a little while ago, there are still quite a few spots open. Also, they still don't have a car to chop, incase anyone wants their car chopped by the Legend himself.


    Good talkin' to ya Bob!

    New York John..not Johnny. A 1950 chevy 4 door fleetline will get chopped unless i chop it before the class. Ive already chopped my 69 chevy c20 truck out here. Still needs some primer and finishing bondo. I wilm have shaved the sides besides the door handles because rid of the vent windows. Its got a 4" chop. The hood will be louvered, still not sure how many but it will be full. And i plan on having either airbags, or if money is short i will have Gene show me how to cut the springs to lower it. This truck will be at our shop for the class and will be my daily driver.

    If anybody wants to have their car chopped, i strongly advise them to have it done at this workshop. My car is only a fall back in case we dont get another. Here at Genes shop in Mojave, Ca we have a 1960 cadillac (i believe) coming in for his workshop in April. Gene is also building a picture style museum on his property and would love to have any old Texaco signs, tools, or pictures. He also has a 50s style diner in his museum. Any help with that would be greatly appreciated and you can contact him at [email protected] or (661) 824-4728

    Attended Gene's class in 2010 and it was a great time and learned quite a bit. As this would be a 2 day class, is a chop a definite on the agenda?

    If someone wants to have their vehicle chopped, Gene would talk to them about "the deal". New York John may have a car or Truck to chop too. Stay tuned.

    I was at Bob's this afternoon to pay up for the workshop. He still has a few openings left. I can't wait, my son and a good buddy are going too.
    Bob is in need of an English Wheel. He has been searching locally but nothing yet. If anyone can help with this please give him a call 315-246-2515 he works nights but 11am is a good time to reach him.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Is BB looking to borrow an E-wheel or buy one? We had a discussion about this a few months ago.
