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.

[Brock]

No....I'm tired.....I might work on it this weekend and see whats going on with the copper washer.....Its so bothersome having to pump them up.....

 

[greenseaman]

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

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

 

[ttahara]

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

yeah you are right...it was Jim. I just figured you are the neediest of the bunch so you had to want something else....LOL hahahahahaha :whoops:

 

[dbenke]

I'll be there. Sounds like lots of work to do. It'll be good to get Doc in a cruiser again!!!

 

[Brock]

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....
