Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Right.
Guess who is back in the UK?? I flew out on Virgin from Heathrow UK to Detroit (my hard case zipper halfway open when I collected my baggage to put it through for St Louis, I lost stuff but hey-ho and fixed case for next leg with big roll of box tape) then Delta Airlines to St Louis (delayed at Detroit) Virgin staff exemplary and Delta staff decent. Return trip St Louis which is turn around spot for the Detroit flight, take off delayed by 45 minutes. This made our 90 minute lay over in Detroit a rush and walked straight onto plane elsewhere in terminal. I also did ductape my case strategically on the return trip as I had spares and new clothes in there plus a 5 way race car oil pump for JohnnyBravon from Dennis. When I got to baggage collection here today...... NO BAGGAGE !! Was told by Heathrow lost baggage guy that I am not allowed to close my bag and try protect the contents from being scattered or pilfered. Seriously tucked off by the situation. As my holiday was Spectacular. Supposedly my baggage will be headed here tomorrow on a next flight and then delivered at home. Back to more photos at George Poteets place. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps9uiiobem.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps9m2sk5ez.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pstyqwaf8k.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pskrz7yvsp.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pszgdtyea8.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psehbnasm5.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps9ysuxmbj.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pswrzilqgg.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps0fnjyuam.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psj2gxba8y.jpg Some of the hangars were just too big, so I did quick walk throughs.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
It was great being in the US with many friends again. The hospitality everywhere was magnificent, thank you all as well, great to see those I met, (2017 will be via Louisiana, landing in New Orleans if I can make it happen.) I will miss it. My gifts, clothes and knives are still in my baggage where Delta Airlines left it in Detroit. Hope to see all my baggage safely this afternoon.
I took a small antihistamine (piriton) at 8pm last night and slept 12 hrs straight to 8.30am English time. My body is super sensitive to them. Waiting for Katy to visit later. Harley my cat is very pleased to have me home too. I fed her, made cuppa tea and came back to bed to carry on waking up. She came straight back up here and is sitting on my lap. Time flies....... Miss Katy arrived as I started this update. Last pics from George Poteets for the Hard Core still hanging around. Into The Church. Read it all if you can. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps02ugatuv.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pskcaiuwec.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pscuhy5anj.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps6ne8sgsj.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psfemitx2z.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psc49v62ps.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psodbybmbr.jpg I also have a signed copy of a Speed Demon poster, thanks to Steve "Bib Overalls" http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psgp3iku9l.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psgb5dpcof.jpg Lastly, not too many people can honestly wear this license plate bracket on their cars. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjgijz3ux.jpg This concludes one of the many highlights of my trip. The thing is, last year, meeting Rusty Escott - RIP in Waco Texas with his wife Deanna who had been a roady with the likes of David Copperfield, AC-DC and many other big names features right up here. Every person I have met in the USA has enriched my life. I honestly still have to meet an A-Hole. My life is good. |

Yes, this year was even better and the time we spent with Clem and the guys from all over the USA was just brilliant. Seems the contributions from Thomas' torn down garage "Final Liquidation Sale" don't stop.

Just perfect Dennis. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pstxqmlypl.jpg I am hoping to have my baggage delivered with all my "stuff" gathered and found on the trip to start cleaning up and making space in the house by 23.00 which is when delivery is expected. Speaking of repurposing..... The various Southerners and other lovely people I spent time with expanded my pallate so that I now even add Hot Sauce to my scrambled egg. Today out shopping with Miss Katy we found this 760ml glass skull bottle of hot sauce. To become a 12volt LED light on my teardrop trailer.

Mud Island bottle made me think of England. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psiqusw7ab.jpg Once we were done and my Dr Pepper drained we headed back into Memphis, Tennissee The day it seemed was long since not over. There was more to come. Steve again showed his incredible ability to navigate by the sense of a sewer rat, driving roads he had never driven to get us over to Horn Lake, Mississippi suburbs. We were headed for Paul and Edna Kosma's place. (Google Paul's name and Bonneville salt flats racing) Turns out Paul has an interesting history too. He and Edna met at art school and she still does metal work. He used to work for Harley Davidson and used to service the 12 HD's that Elvis kept for friends to use. First thing we saw driving up onto his drive is this beauty. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps1924pytm.jpg Greeted warmly by Paul we see these jewels. His large garage filled with machines packed in tightly, still used to make specialised parts for landspeed record cars and bikes. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pshgsw6v8r.jpg Had this for years.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Locally in the UK my baggage was delivered by City Sprint just after 10pm last night. Unopened. Thankfully. So all the bits I brought back for myself and various others made it.
Back to photos and little snippets of my trip. Leaving the Kosma's we headed back to Arkansas. Sun setting over the Mississippi river. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pskjjtmaco.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps0am9wksr.jpg And on to Trumann where Larry Henderson and his wife lives.

Via a Chinese Eat all you want buffet and then back to Steves place and his shop. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psdoplt6kb.jpg Steve is an accomplished machinist and makes his fair share of parts and bits for his cars. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps8nmb9m8h.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pshsfmkpxh.jpg And his driver. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psu3zytr3s.jpg The man and his toys. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssveshuvr.jpg Eventually it was late and bed time. Wednesday I would be off to see some more people along the way and make my way up to Fayetteville to Clem and Kim Johnsons place. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Wednesday morning I was up early again. Not slept much so far on this trip. Fortunately LuLu the dog did not care and tucked down with me.
When Steve and wife Belinda got up we had tea, showered etc then I packed the Challenger and followed him out to Presleys for a breakfast with extra bacon.then to Harbour Freight to get some mini welding magnets and a few other bits. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...sypun43za.jpeg After our good byes I went to McDonalds for WiFi and Steve set off into the sunset or was it sunrise ?? I was headed to Searcy to see Ta2Don and deliver some things I had brought over for him. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psacmpytzz.jpg Lunch was great in the back office of O'Reillys. Donz truck he had finished for Clems shindig this year. Unfortunately his wife had gotten ill.

Bomp (Greg) had arrived a few days before from Oregon Kim had made a real home cooked dinner with the most deliriously awesome beef briskett I have ever tasted. Southern hospitality. She is after all a Texan. After dinner we just sat and shot the breeze in the alcove. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pslmumz00a.jpg Then a little drink or two and into the lazy lounge with at least three of the cats. Clem and Bomps company soon had me relaxing to the point where I was told to go to bed......... http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pstcpyaauk.jpg Last year I slept downstairs. This year upstairs. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psiuuak1ge.jpg A pair of rooms with 360' views that are Kims painting studion. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjnyzuo5f.jpg Of course I was awake by 03.00 again. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Inbetween doing various little yard jobs and getting under Clems feet, there were also meals to be had
Clem showed us various places. My favourite had a "Liars table" where all the regulars eat. This was lunch at Bears place. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psilott8ww.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pshjqoig1v.jpg Some interesting hand made musical instruments. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssdlbnvdb.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psa1efgc7r.jpg Then after lunch it was back to work or play. Clem had some cool old garden furniture in need of repairs. We got to raid his yard for repair pieces. Bomp (Greg) from Oregon getting on with some work. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psqlmaak9f.jpg One of the best jobs he did was to turn the backrest of a truck seat into a gate for Clems corner to prevent the Dog Bombs being deposited. This was an amazing cut n shut job. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psh5lesggl.jpg Even signed off. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psl39drslp.jpg And working on a chair repair. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssevxssf7.jpg More in a bit. |

At this point the jetlag was continueing to beat me up quite badly as my biological clock had not yet flipped to US time zones.

You count them. Perfect world to my sleep deprived brain reaching for the kettle Clem would have boiled already and one of Mr Tetleys best builders teas. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psd9i5wafo.jpg 2016 was especially spectacular as we had a load of people in the Rock house. Mc Murphy and his lovely bride Tricia down for a second year. Chad Grove who managed to get a few days off work. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps4am28c7n.jpg And of course Bomp all the way from Kaiser, Oregon who I had an absolute blast with. Here with the ever present and smiling Mrs Kim J. She can cook. And I am sure all who stayed over or ate with us will attest to the fact that Clem is a very lucky guy. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps7likhyuu.jpg So what was Bomp doing to his chair repair? Remember these all were destined for the tip till Clem challenged the hoarders and artists in us. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pshydwa3zh.jpg The first two I used bits of flat bar and random steel plus a pair of Chevy wheel spanners each. So Bomp upped his game after the cool gate he made and gifted the Johnsons (both arachnaphobes) with his first ever spiders web and resident spider. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps4vavcccj.jpg The foot repairs done with internal pipe sleeved and welded in place followed by 66 Chevy C10 hood springs sleeved over the repairs and tacked into place.

Once I started on chair no3 Bomp had wizened up to me and would take pics but also manage to break my stride.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps2dkh0osd.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psxltpc15u.jpg Leading to my standard response. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps8dnwlwyk.jpg Of course having thrown down the gauntlet firmly with his Spider chair it was up to me to respond. Took me a day to figure out a response and to be honest, I will concede defeat in this case. My feeble attempt was to create a V8 Chainsaw chair. Using available materials. Amazingly its not a 5 minute job. Happy to get it done and included into Clems garden collection but the Spider chair rocks big time. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psmtu80qgh.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psx40qm4rc.jpg While in a creative mood I thought a GRiZZ tag for the fence was in order too.
