I know it's early, but I figured I'd let everyone know, so they could check their calendars.  :D  FAST FRIENDS, the charity I started, is putting on the 1st Annual Hot Rod Homecoming on July 12, 2008 in Alamosa, CO at the county fairgrounds. It's open to everyone, whatever they drive (or ride). Bikes, cars, trucks, whatever.  :lol: It's a fundraiser to help out families of really sick kids in the area. There will be a poker run, then a blessing of the cars/bikes in the arena with an Indian medicine man presiding, a full-blown motorcycle rodeo, a fun gymkhana for the cars, games for the kids, games for the adults, live music all day, great food, prizes, fun for the entire family. If we get a large enough response early, a local bar says they'll bring in a band for an after-event dance.  :!:  

All FAST FRIENDS events are family-friendly, and kids are encouraged. We don't sell beer at our events for that reason, but discreet drinking in the parking lot, etc. will be ignored, unless it becomes a problem.  :wink:  Our events are geared towards having FUN! The Winter Wipeout on March 1 was a great success, due partly to generous members of the HAMB donating artwork, time, and effort. We firmly believe this event on July 12 will be a blast, and hope some of you will decide to check it out. Any clubs want to come up? We'll make a travelling trophy for the club with the most members present. There will be vendor spaces available, and great food all day. a couple pinstripers have expressed an interest in setting up in the fairgrounds, too. Anyone wanting more info, wanting to perform, rent vendor space, whatever, call me or email me. I'll respond asap.  :D

I got a '96 Camaro given to me. The owner says someone tried to steal it, and got the wiring all screwed up. He had to replace the steering column because of damage, and still can't figure out the VATS (?) deal.  :( So he gave it to me, and I'm thinking of putting the V6/5 speed in a '60 Rambler American 2dr. :lol: I've gotten some advice about getting the original wiring harness pared down, and just thought I'd see if there was an electrical genius-type here who might have a different idea. I want to be able to run a simple switch panel, etc. while running the MPFI for mileage and decent performance.

Rodder's Roundtable / Took the '56 for its maiden voyage
December 10, 2006, 12:39:08 AM
I took my '56 Plymouth out for a shakedown cruise, and everything went great. The car runs like stink an drives better than I'd hoped. The Chrysler subframe w/ disc brakes and torsionbars is worth the hassle, and the 440/TF727 pulls like a *. The car is in the shop, making it legal so I can drive it as a daily. :D

My name is Animal, I live in southern Colorado (@7,600'), and have been around hot rods and bikes all my life. I attended my first drag races and stock car races in Pueblo, Co in 1958 at age six. I rode scooters for over thirty years, and am now building a 1956 Plymouth two door post into a gasser-inspired daily driver. I look forward to being a member.
