    GENE CROMER DONATION

    We would like to be able to raise enough money to be able to get Mr. Cromer to the Meltdown Drags in Byron Ill. It's unheard of a man to hold on to his car so long and after it's resurection actually use it. The amount of support the HAMB family has is second to none, so we are trying to raise the money to help him make the journey. Mr. Cromer would never ask for help, so thats why we are asking. It doesn't need to be much as every little bit helps. Thanks in advance.


    MELTDOWN DRAGS JULY 18,19,20 2014

    PAYPAL [email protected] (that is e underscore k) not a blank.

    Today was another big day for Gene and The Moonlighter. Steve Coonan was here to photograph it for The Rodders Journal. What a COOL thing to witness!
    No Gene didn't run over him....

    Great things happen to great people! If you build it, they will come. Heard that somewhere and it seems appropriate here. Congrats to all involved. Hey, where'd that other car come from?! They sure look good together. Later, Carp

  15. The Moonlighter will be in The Rodders Journal!! Perfect!

    Steve Coonan is a excellent photographer. He's been know to photograph for hours and hours on feature cars, always looking for the perfect shot. How long did he take for yesterday's photo shoot?
     
  16. Steve came all the way from the right coast to the left to photograph The Moonlighter,,as far as I am concerned Rodders Journal is the most prestigious magazine being published today...and as you pointed out the quality of Mr. Coonan's attention to detail is a major factor in the magazines success.

    I'm sure he shoots hundreds of photo's in pursuit of the few images that make the cut. HRP

    I agree, Steve Coonan is an excellent photographer. I have admired his photos for years and it was a pleasure to meet him and be able to work with him on this deal. We spent the day riding around in my Impala scouting locations, eating lunch, and bench racing. Steve's photography skills are second only to his passion and knowledge of hot rods. It was a great time and I look forward to doing it again. Keep your eyes peeled here for some sneek peeks from Steve coming soon.

    Note: Cassandra is not doing the black shirts now. Gene has all the files for the shirts, but hasn't had any printed yet.

    I like both shirts and I keep telling Gene that he needs to get some of the black ones printed.
     
  26. When Cassandra was making them I got a couple pf long sleeved shirts made,a few more bucks but great for the winter and roadster guys. HRP

    I talked with Gene today and he said that he is ordering some black T-shirts. I don't know when he will get them, but I will post on here when he has them.
