Any good samaritans in So-Cal anymore?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by five-duece-chevy, Oct 31, 2008.

  1. I cant believe I missed this thread as well. I would have been there day one to lend a hand.

    Other than windows to be put in, what else does this car need?
     
  2. That's great Mitch! Are we going to get some photos? Hope so, how about some of our Blessing there? Tell her we all said, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
     
  3. Godspeed...........

    How did I miss this thread??
    Post an update!!
    This place sure is sweet!!!
     
  10. Update...
    the car is at Happy Hoppy's place getting floors and a spare tire well installed, then its coming back to the south bay to get glass and rubber installed.

    its got a bad brake pull so its going back up on the rack.

    this little car runs like a TOP. the trans that Five-Deuce-Chevy sold the lady works just like it should. i'm looking forward to going to pick it up and driving it home with floors where the giant holes used to be. something about driving a bumper dragging 49 four door with a single glass pack down the old part of the 110...

    oh yeah...
    anyone wanna donate some exhaust work???
    the tailpipe arangement on this thing is pretty janky.
    even though no one will see it and she'd never know the difference, it would still be nice to know that we gave it back with as much corrected as possible.

    After a lifetime of waiting, I got into rodding this past summer. It seems like this hobby has an abundance of genuinely good people who are happy to help a stranger. Well done, all.

    ...hey, have you thought about getting her an alliance membership? That would be a fitting end to an awesome build-up, her own membership, and more importantly, that Hamb plaque on her firewall...just a thought, I'd put in some cash for that.:D
     
  21. Thats an AWESOME idea.
    i'll go 20 towards the alliance membership.

    anyone else who wants to add in PM for paypal info.

    Great idea.
