a sad day at my house ...batfink heads east!

It was a sad day here...loaded my truck on the transporter to head east to new york ...to a fellow HAMBer at least. Now its time for a new project to get on the road!

 

At least its still in the "family"

I sold my roadster earlier,so I know how you fell.

Another HAMBer great going to a new keeper......Shiny

 

That is a good looking truck, I looked it over at the Asphalt Inv....

 

I love the Batfink.

 

No way!
Man....it doesn't seem that long ago that I was looking at that truck (on like HAMB version 1.1 or something) thinking, "Its about time people started doing cool things with trucks again"

Wow.....

 

will the buyer please disclose yourself!!!
where is the truck goin?

 

DRAG!
I will miss that cool machine.

 

Damn man... what a double edged sword this is..
It's good to get the cash from the sale, but sucks to see it go.

That IS one cool truck!

Where in NY is it going?

 

I love that truck. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! Glad to see it go to a HAMBer.

 

You have my deepest sympathy in this time of great loss and sorrow....



BUT



What the hell posessed you to go and do a fool stunt like that???

 

thanks everybody and dr. J I guess I just got bored and was ready for some change...I even had to take a sick day to mourn!
I'll let the buyers disclose who they are if they want to...seems its gonna be a girls car now! I'm just stoked its going to a good home and gets to be seen in a new area...maybe turn some heads inBethpage new yawk!

 

I've said it before & I'll say it again......
"New York's alright.....if you like saxaphones"

(sorry...couldn't help it)

 

building my roadster 38 truck cab next!

 

The pink fink?

 

cool, I hope he/she brings to the NY Rumblers show and Lead East...

 

Sad and happy day, as I know you have been trying to sell it for a while now. That truck is sort of the Brewsir identity, we'll have to get used to seeing you in a different vehicle!

 

One of the last bastions of the old HAMB, I dig the Maroon/flamed version best!

 

CONGRATULATUIONS! Now, you can exercise that imagination and build that....what izzit? A 38 ford roadster pickup? sounds kinky. I love embarking on a new project.
The Batfink is dead! Long live the Batfink....
I'm happy a fellow HAMBer got it but seeing them go gives a guy a little catch in the throat sometimes...

 

That sucks they could have atleast have put in at the front top for you.

 

First the carson topped custom and now the truck. You must be one of the strong ones to part with two super projects and still maintain your sanity. You've got some big shoes to fill with the next build. Be sure to share it with the rest of us.

Okay, Okay....I figured the east coast deserves to see this beauty.....It's my wife's, another Hamber....It'll compliment this......

 

Long Island........

 

If it's here in time, without a doubt.......

 

Thanks so much again Brewsir!! I guess I don't have to ask you if they picked it up yet!!!! Can't wait- Hope it gets here for The Rumblers NYC!!

You have been a complete gentleman to deal with, I hope to have her for a long, long time!! I'll chat with you soon.

Thanks Again!!! This will be the longest 2 weeks of my life!!
(Hopefully 2 weeks!)

 

Also, I like her on the bottom!! She will be protected!!!!

Ok, I know, that sounded bad...(hee hee)

 

protected by all the oil leaking off the neighbors upstairs!!!

 

Wow, didn't think of that. Probably will be tha last one off since its coming way east. Might not be loaded to go, they may reload/rearrange at another terminal.

Our other vehicles were all shipped enclosed so this is a first for me.
I don't think they give you a choice. Was a decent price for shipping though.
I'm sure it'll be fine. Thanks for the input!

 

well, sorry to hear you sold it, but its cool that not only it went to a HAMBEr, but its coming out East. Looking forward to takin a closer look since I've only seen it i books/mags.

 

I'll miss that truck too... every time I saw it I had to go look at it one more time even though I'd seen it a thousand times.

But I know the new project willcome out just as cool.

Take Care!

 

Hard to comprehend, that truck is such a NorCal staple. I remember the first ime I saw it was at the 50th Bonneville. It stopped me in my tracks.
