Cecil at Hercules Motors has had an afternoon gathering on Thursdays... but I'd call to see if it's on first. He advertises in most car rags, or do a web search, for their number. Then, there is always the parking lot in front of the host hotel. Gary
We'd love to see a place where all the florida HAMBER's can go hang out and B/S. We're very close to the fair grounds and would like to meet others near us.
I hope you have a good trip Dan. My buddy I stayed with in St. Pete during bitteproof will be there in his awsome black 29 Model A pick up truck. I will tell him to look you up and say hi. Have a safe trip!
Biff Burger in St Pete has a car show on Fridays. Haven't been there in months, but they usually get a decent turnout.
Here is a picture of it. He recently got it out of Ohio and has been fine tuning it to his taste a little. It didn't need much for sure. I believe it is built on a Dave Gale chassis.
Hey Dan I am the guy Tracy was talking about here in St. Pete.There is cruise in Clearwater at the Quaker Steak and Lube on Thurs. nights 4-8 p.m.here is a link http://www.thelube.com/Pinellas_Park_Clearwater_FL/ I plan on being at the NSRA on Fri. and Sat. I'll have to look you up.I'll be in a 29 ford pickup.PM me if you need more info or help.
Mike, Definitely look Dan up at the show. He is a super nice guy with an awsome car. You probably remember it from Billet Proof. Black 32 sedan with a hemi. I believe he won the best mill award. You guys have a great time.
Cecil's is a nice little get together. More the traditional stuff, no crazy rat things. Here's the website I built for him, www.herculesmotorcarco.com Quaker state and lube as well - Thursdays like 4-8pm.
As mentioned, Hercules. They have the open house on Thursday and have always had some food out for us. We will be there and at the NSRA event on Saturday and Sunday. Anyone coming down should make sure they stop at Garlits place in Ocala, it's just off I-75.
We'll be at the NSRA Show at the Fair Grounds on Firday and maybe Saturday/Sunday. I'll be with my friend Don in his '37 Low Boy. Any plans for a place for HAMBer's to meet up?
I'll be there on Saturday with some friends and their rides '46 Ford, '39 Chevy. Unfortunately, mine's not even close to ready yet.
Not sure how many of my friends are going. It's pretty much the same cars every year, and I'm not building anything right now so I don't need anything from the swap, so in my eyes it ain't worth wasting my Saturday. I'd rather go fishing. Have fun guys.
Their shows not till next month but still a lot to see if your into old birds. Bout a half hour east of the fairgrounds. http://www.fantasyofflight.com/
