What ever happened to, I think it was, Truly Vintage? He used to always post on here the routes that he was traveling. Haven't seen that for quite awhile.

Might want to check with Flop (Flop Custom on here and HAMB). He does metal work in Pittsburg, may have someone delivering from east coast and going back. Long shot, but oyu never know.

I have used and like both Bill Squires and Rick Powell. Both are on the HAMB O Dex and both did a fine job for me. I have been turned off by Truly Vintage and his comments.

Thanks Guys !

Detroit is a tough market to get a haul out of.
By the time you are passing thru headed east - you are usually already full.
Not much demand to drop off in Detroit.

Winter is almost upon us ...


This morning I am outside of Ortiz, WA picking up a Model T
bound for NAPA, CA - then taking a vintage Merecedes from
Turlock, CA to Ft. Worth, TX.

On Ford Barn since Ryan took over in 2010.

On the HAMB & Hamb Alliance Member every year since 2008.

I regularly haul for the MTFCA Museum in Richmond, IN.


Hope everyne traveling has a safe Thankgiving !



Jim

As early as October and as late as May. This was our second snow this year, and the heaviest so far. Just spent about 2 hours clearing the driveway this morning. And it's not that big.
