Most car guys that read this blog know what the HAMB is.
If you don't know,
it's basically a forum where people talk about old cars.
THE H.A.M.B. - Powered by vBulletin
The weird thing about these forums is you have no idea who you're talking to,
other than the small amount of information you read or see on the posts.
So last month this guy organized a "breakfast meet up"
at Perry's restaurant which is close by the shop.
San Diego HAMB breakfast meet up - THE H.A.M.B.
(don't read too much or you'll spoil the story!)
I thought it was kinda funny,
cause who can plan over a month in advance!
Well the time went by really quick,
and all of a sudden it was Sunday morning.
Typically my wife works on Sundays,
so I usually try to knock a couple hours of work at the shop,
and part of me didn't want to lose that rare chunk of time.
But at 7:59 I figured what the heck I gotta motivate and not be a chump,
I could always go to the shop after.
Well I rolled up to a handful of cars,
and about a dozen guys standing around in the cold. (for SD!)
It ended up being a cool experience.
Our roadster pickup (chief)
is a good icebreaker for conversation.
I finally found the owner (jimmy)
of that bitchin chopped '35 ford coupe with the '37 headlights.
perich brothers (and sister): double take - chopped 35 ford coupe ... and more!
It was even cooler to see that it had a flathead engine,
and also a torque-tube overdrive conversion.
This was a cool shot,
as the cars are the same.
The guy that organized the deal, Paul,
has this really cool flathead powered 1951 ford.
And I really like that rear view of that dang '35 coupe.
So after some car talk,
most of us ended up eating,
than after we went to the shop,
which was just around the corner.

It was cool to meet guys that could relate to my mess!
So at the shop I snapped some quick pics of the cars.
There were a couple other guys that didn't bring cars,
and it seems like next month will bring a bunch more.
On the way out got this last going home shot.
Thanks to Paul and the helldivers c.c for rallying up the san diego crowd!
See ya next month.
