Hi group, forwarding a message to you sent to me by The Flatlander, Alan
Thornton, who knew Honest Charley back when. Alan's shop, Flatlander's
Hot Rods, in Norfolk, VA, built the body and chassis to my specs for
ArdunBill's HiBoy. I just went by to see him this morning. He finally
got on the Internet recently, but works about 16 hours a day at his shop
so I suppose it'll take him a while to get e-mail into his routine.
Alan and his very busy shop are a major force in street rods here on the
Right Coast and have been for a long time. Regards, ArdunBill in the
Great Dismal Swamp, Chesapeake, VA

really appreciate you including me in the
distribution of all the great conversations,experiences,and info
concerning b-ville etc. the story of obtaining "his" coupe, by Tom B.,
was great news to this hot rodder. the interview w/ Salmen on
ballast,lockers,and stabilizers, was interesting too. you have all that
dialed in on your rstr.,right ? thinking about the possibility of
chrysler knocking off duntov has been discussed before i'm sure. you
know that some (great) minds have thought alike before, who really knows
now. tell doug he needs to put a straight axle in that repro coupe to
really get the that hot rod feel. hey, i make axles, what do you expect?
one more; i can relate a little to the "honnest hisself" story. in the
early 70's, (the start of modern street rodding), a few of us would
travel to gatlinburg,tn., to a great rod run called the mid-south
street rod round-up. my (ex) wife and i stayed next door to "honnest"
and his wife one year, and became friends.my friend tom medley had
introd. us earlier mentioning that "honnest" was getting ready to sell
franchises. long story short, i was seriously considering it the next
couple of years, but he (charlie) kicked the bucket early, and none were
sold. seeing as i'm a chevy eng. guy, i feel privileged to be included
in your group. with being so busy @ the shop,etc. i don't get much time
on the net,but i will try to respond when i can. p/s i've got some real
trash on "hillbilly" charlie "flathead" overfelt, but it'll have to
wait. the "flatlander" ok to reprint if you want...
