Rancho de Rash shop thrash 9/19/09 - Love ya Pops!

As most of you know our little group lost our mentor last week. "Pops" was his HAMB name but that name meant much more to us.

The Celebration Service for Pops is tomorrow, Thursday. Our group decided the best way to honor Pops was to get back to wrenching. We also decided the best thing to wrench on would be Pops car. We need to be sure it is at the service.

So we got after it and accomplished everything we set out to. Just for good measure, we decided to do a tranny swap in my Brothers (blood) daily at the same time. "Many hands make light work"......

Sorry for the OT content. Look at it as Brothers helping Brothers,,,,

We worked all day. Monkey supplied breakfast, Mama Rash supplied lunch and we wrapped up the day with a fish fry and brain cell pickling.... Hopefully some of my Buds will add more pics. Maybe a video or two...














































If you can get to Tulsa weekend after this one (Oct. 4th) come hang out with us...

Jeez Rash, sorry to hear of your loss, I think what you're doing is great and to have freinds helping out is wonderful.
That is a beautiful car BTW.

 

That's what's called love.

 

You guys flat ROCK! "Props" to Pops fer sure!

 

Very cool...

Nice team ..congrads for all your time & effort. Pops would be proud

 

Sorry for your loss man.
I saw a black/gold car in R&C lately.... was it that car?

 

Guys, I know I have told you this before but Jim lives on in all of you. He would be proud indeed.

See you tomorrow.

 

I can't imagine a better way to spend the day or a better group

Take care.

 

Looks like a rough and tumble bunch of dudes... Or was that a drunk and stumble bunch of dudes???

Another moment we'll always remember. If we're all brothers, then Rashy's the big brother.

 

What a great way to celebrate your friends love of cars. You guys are doing it right.
RIP.

 

Pops had good taste in cars - that 39 is sweet

 

Sorry for your loss... what size tires are on the front of the 39?? Is it a Mustang II? I'm want my car to sit like that.

 

You guys did a very cool thing...

 

Sorry to hear about Pops, at least he was able to make one last show at the HAMB Drags. Wish I could be there to "Be There",

Lift one for Pops on my behalf please.

 

Good job guys, keep his spirit alive through his car.

I hope the same is done to me when it's my time... i've got a '58 Studebaker that could use some lovin'!

 

you guys are awesome!

 

Sorry to hear of your loss. Good on you for getting the car running again. I hope our group proves to be as close as yours.

 

Its a good thing you and your boys are doin Rash, keep it up.

 

Good way to honor a fallen brother. You guys are great. RIP Pops-

 

Great group of guys with a great tribute.
Later,
Dick

 

Way to keep moving forward and carrying on with the memory of your friend. I'm sure Pops is proud.

 

Everyone's dead on. This is a kick-ass group of guys, and I love 'em all including you Bulletproof!
