HAMOM Cancelled due to personal concerns that DOC needs to take care of with family.....

We are now meeting at Bessingers BBQ on Savannah Hwy in Charleston SC...

Show time will be around 12:00 Noon......grab some food inside and either eat in or come outside where we are parked in rear. Maybe we can get the outside picnic area reserved so we dont have to take up room for other paying customers in the air conditioner...

Will eat....have meeting...and then check out our rigs and whatever else is needed.

2-BROCK
3- Tristan
4- WhitenH

Bless you I do look better in a cruiser than the jeep and ford truck I have been driving. I will be home and arrange a grill this time in advance so we will have burgers, dogs brats potato salad and beer in the fridge/cooler. BT is ready to bust off (start) just needs all her fluids and to be drivable the carb linkage hooked up. I plan on having a stanless exhaust put in by a shop in Sumter and having her running will make that much easier. To fill out the rest the entire interior will need to be taped and preped for the liner application (read lots of fairly light sanding) If we get that done then there is always putting on the front fenders and more sanding and filling on the body. Painting will be in stages with the bedliner gray first in the interior , The bedliner black on the lower fenders and rockers and bumper. Then regular paint color on the upper body so all this painting can;t be done in one session but whatever we can get done will be appreciated and will get BT on the road sooner. Thanks for thinking of me and the willingness to help on BT. Doc

Brock · 06-25-09, 07:20 PM

sounds like a plan...no reason to make every Hamon at your place go from 9am until 4am the next morning again. LOL

ttahara · 06-25-09, 07:31 PM

Yea this is true...def way too long...but well worth it..

Nothing wrong with working late to help out the crew, I know tristian appreciated the effort. But yeah there are about 6 stages of painting and assembly to do so at this hammon lets just get BT running and drivable with the interior ready for John to work his painting magic with the gray rhino liner in the inside. That wont press us to bad so we can have a good meeting to discuss the boil and concentrate on our adult beverages. Doc

ttahara · 06-25-09, 08:00 PM

I didn't know my brakes needed adjusting..I think u meant Jim's?...u think about me too much Ron..dont you!?

dbenke · 06-27-09, 01:20 PM

Found this copper washer cleaning out my desk today.......It was in a master cylinder rebuild kit I used on my old master....
Same size and its new.....I'm happy....

Brock · 06-27-09, 08:07 PM

i thought you were going to tell us it was a UFO you saw in the sky tonight at Starbucks.....

ocdbeetle · 06-28-09, 06:53 AM

No I save that for the other forum......LOL

lextechautomotive · 06-29-09, 05:43 PM

Being that i'm already booked out a week in advance, ( i typically only run 1 to 2 days out for appointments) I don't forsee being able to get away for that weekend. But if the schedule slows down i'll post up and let the forum know.

IndianDoc · 07-05-09, 08:37 AM

Guys you may want to go ahead and ride as I just got a phone call and I am, going to have to cancell this Hammon" Trouble in Children land. Looks like I may be out of town Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday to rescue or intercede in a family crisis. Soryy I was so looking forward to the great and meet in addition to getting a bunch done on BT. Live However interfears.

David looks like I can't make Sunday night as well dang kids!!!

Brock · 07-05-09, 11:04 AM

HAMOM is cancelled unless Glenn can host again. Doc has a family emergency and cannot host event at his place this weekend and he apologizes to all.

Please keep Doc and his family in your thoughts....

If Glenn is busy we can have regular meeting at someplace in Charleston since August we are going to Myrtle and SPARKS Toyota. I recommend BBQBoys place again as it is easy to find and has lots of parking in rear.

dbenke · 07-05-09, 02:30 PM

Bssingers will be fine w/ me.

Show of hands, How many will be there.

We really need to start planning the Boil.

Brock · 07-05-09, 04:16 PM

I will be there.....

ttahara · 07-05-09, 06:08 PM

Me too..ill be late cuz i have to work and I wont be driving my LC cuz of some things I need to address..like the oil pressure went down again so down that it almost wouldnt start and there is a noise coming from my right rear I need to look at..its a hitting noise whenever I drive it...so who knows

lextechautomotive · 07-06-09, 06:21 AM

Back to back HAMON here is probably a little much for me as Jenny and I have been swamped here and spending a "day off" so to speak here wrenching would is not high on my agenda right now.

That is what I thought as well Glenn....we thank you for your hospitality.

The meeting is going to be at Bessingers......BBQBoy could use some business I am sure.
