The CAB' s intro- I am The CAB

...just kiddin guys
okay, here it goes... my name is Steve Caballero, born in '64 (year of the dragon), professional skateboarder for over 24 years now, been playing guitar for the punk band (the Faction since 1982), Father of a 7 year old daughter, ride dirtbikes ( CFR250R), I used to collect British MC's back in the early 90's... but all i have left now is my '59 Ariel square 4 and a '63 BSA, love art and painting and would be stoked to learn to pinstripe one day, collect toys from the 70's childhood like Evel Knievel, got interested in hotrods a while back and went to a few shows before getting one ( yes, i bought it and didn't build it) i skated all my life so i was never into working on them and building them, but from what i've seen so far from all the mags i read and the car shows i've attended seems like a super fun hobby to get into and let that creativity flow. So yes... i want to learn and i want to build something from the ground up some day and this seems like a great place to learn from and also gather up info on what's going on in this hotrod world i now have a special interest in. I brought my 1930's Ford coupe (green with bronze scallops) to the Billetproof show in Antioch, CA with my girlfriend and had a blast! I parked with the Road Zombies from San Jose becuase of a good buddy of mine, Larry Smith, is part of their car club... so this was my first showing with a rod and can't wait for the next one ( Jimmy's old car picnic in SF), but with such a hetic skateboarding schedule it's hard to find time to attend most of the shows... but i'll try! so being a newbie in " Da Scene"... can't wait to see more awesome cars, build one someday, talk and meet more awesome poeple and learn more about the car kulture you guys and gals all love and care about!
best wishes,
CAB

 

What's up Stevie?

 

Holy Moly is it YOU!!! Ive been a fan for ever
welcome aboard

 

hey Sean!
good to see ya for a wee bit at BP last weekend, sorry we couldn't hang, the day went by way too fast, barley got to see all the rods
I'll be lurkin quite a bit on here from now on.
great that we are now crossing paths once again!
c-ya around!

 

Not to suck nuts too much but you were SKATING when I was a kid...

You are a RULER!

By the way your car is bad ass... I've seen a bunch of pics of that thing...

Tim

 

Im sucking nuts and I dont care ..Im stoked and this has blown me away today

 

Welcome Steve! Nice model A! Sounds like you are a good asset to the board. One of the most intelligent intros,in a while around here! sparky

 

That title is hilarious, that car is really slick, and you're in for at least a dozen pages of the most well-earned ass kissing this board's ever seen

Welcome aboard.
Curt

 

Five bucks says this intro goes to two pages faster than the last one with titts did.

Welcome to the HAMB Steve.
Sam.
p.s. you know anything about building skateboards??

 

Holy shit!

I don't give a fuck about celebrities, but damn dude, do you have any idea how many poeple you have inspired over the years. Nobody even THOUGHT some of the stuff you have done could be done before you did it.

I skated with you once at Upland, and probably half of the guys on this board have similar stories so you are already among friends

 

Sam he's a skater not a carpenter????

 

Steve,
Yeah, wish I had a chance to catch up with you at the show. Saw your cars at the hotel friday night, but it was late.
How's the coupe treating you?
Take it easy,
Sean

 

Welcome to The Cab. I am The Walrus and Rashy, who is around here somewhere, is The Egg Man.

Have fun on the HAMB dude,

Big Daddy Eric

 

Wow, it's Caballero!

Sup bro?!

I bet Ryan has to buy more bandwidth for this one!


Seriously though, I hope this is'nt a sick joke, I would be heartbroken. I've been a fan of yours for a years, welcome man.

 

I don't have a clue who you are unless you played in some obscure Hair Metal band back in the day.

I bought my first hot rod (rebuilt most of the shit on it) and built my second one from scratch. If I can do it anyone can.

Desire will win over cash and know how any day.

 

Coupe, nice looking machine you have there. Welcome to the HAMB. I've always admired your skating. I'm an old south bay boy myself. I believe I we threw some snowballs at each other up on Mount Hamilton once many years ago.

 

Sean,
She runs great, just a little tranny leak, but not bad. looking to change the back ( home made) wish bones chrome and reweld the front ones, get a new chromed and drilled front I beam and eventually paint the car, but keep it a satin look.

haha, me neither.

Welcome to the HAMB. Nice A.

 

Plowboy, He was on "CHiP" remember now?
HAHAHA.. Welcome "CAB" you'll fit in just fine here.

P.S. I wish I would bought my first rod instead of building it. Because I would be driving it NOW.....BS

 

I heard (from you guys) that he is a skater,,,

the reason I ask is, I teach woodshop... and my students are always asking if they can build a skateboard. I'd love to show them how, but I don't know where to start... I guess I'd need to make a press of some kind... that's easy, but then how do I make the male and female moulds? Where do I get the laminant? What glue do I use? What design should I use??

I built a deck in woodshop in highschool back in 1978, but it wasn't a 7ply, but more like 1 ply with a wedge for a kicktail. I don't think your shop is set up for making decks. and like he said, "i don't make them" ... i just destroy them

skate and destroy!

I ain't got a clue who you are either, but you gave a great intro - wish everyone did that - watch & learn, lurkers!

Welcome - loads of talent here, lots to learn from.
