HAMB on the ROCKS - Rockford, IL / Belvidere, IL - Janauary 15, 2011

Jeff-Thanks for the invite and organizing this - and Kerry even though I did not get to get over to the shop of yours - thanks for making an appearance at the Kilt - It was good to see everyone and I am sure I will see most of ya'll again at the Chicago World of Wheels.

(For those that dont know - I am the one that was chasing the little girl around making sure she did not get in too much trouble.....I only lost her once - not bad, in my opinion.......)

Wish I had more time to chat with some of the guys that I did not know - but I did get to talk with some new guys and look forward to seeing ya'll down the road.

 

Damn... I live too far away

 

Sounds like you need to start your own. See how many HAMBers in your area are interested and start small like we did (have lunch). Even if it's just 4 or 5 people, it is real fun when everyone is like-minded like we all are on here. Sure I get credit for starting HAMB on the ROCKS, but I really don't do much. Maybe start one or two threads a year and it takes a life of its own. If it takes off in your area, then plan a garage crawl or something like we do at Hopperstads and like the HAMB and Cheese does in Wisconsin. It makes for an awesome day!

 

Had a great time catching up with everyone. Kerry - your shop is the coolest and your agent does a good job too. hahaha.

See y'all at the next HAMB and Cheese.

 

Thank you for all the pics & sharing

 

Thanks to Jeff and Kerry. Its always great to get out in the winter and check out some projects. Nice to meet you Tyler that El camino is bad ass.

 

It was a great day to see some old friends and meet some new friends. Thanks to Kerry for his hospitality and sharing his passion. And thanks to all who had a hand in putting it all together.

Was that a FOR SALE sign on the Topolino?

 

Sorry I missed it. Looks like there was a good turn out.

SORRY the
Topolino is NOT FOR SALE

 

Thanks to Jeff and Kerry for their hospitality and considerable effort! What a GREAT turnout! So many old friends and some new faces, too.

Glo and I came up right after the SW Chicago HAMB & Eggs. We had made it the first year over in Roscoe but missed last year because of a striping workshop.

The Tilted Kilt was excellent but to tread on the hallowed ground of Hopperstad Customs with such an esteemed group was incredible!!

Momma K, what can I say... simply outstanding photos and thanks for taking the time to create and post your video.

 

WOW , Hallowed grounds (YOUR TO KIND) Iwill have to charge for tours, THANKs for coming out, and the great stickers there way cool,
