we are a family based club who would do anything to help a child. our primary charity is the Shriner's Burns Hospital for Children. we're lucky to have this facility located in our city. the services provided there are world class and... at no charge to the patients. seated in the front row is our board of directors (minus me behind the camera). from the left is Dan our president, Rose our treasurer, Mary our secretary and Joe our vice president. thru your support of the Pumpkin Run we were able to give the hospital a check for $50,000. it took a lot of volunteers to pull this off (there aren't that many Fastiques). this check was presented at the annual appreciation luncheon for our sponsors and volunteers. to date, Fastiques Rod & Custom has been able to give the hospital over $600,000. we are a non profit organization. when you support one of our events, you're money is going to go to support a worth while cause, we have several.Pumpkin Run Nationals by Fastiqueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01395164420545556372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753201276820892709.post-47147248507334661432009-12-04T21:12:00.001-05:002009-12-04T21:13:12.299-05:00the Guy behind the BS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKurHaRjqHfvOZOG8Go7EmIsDGBYiIP27gxFjfwxzQLfxaaQbZLD1MLl379-n608zLDwShkmiviZQ4cqdKKWpIDTPG4afbEBWxjemPVLe9Pd-dQs1_xNCrFx3kbYBYKeiCDz2Ehhs-pBNA/s1600-h/IMG_4328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKurHaRjqHfvOZOG8Go7EmIsDGBYiIP27gxFjfwxzQLfxaaQbZLD1MLl379-n608zLDwShkmiviZQ4cqdKKWpIDTPG4afbEBWxjemPVLe9Pd-dQs1_xNCrFx3kbYBYKeiCDz2Ehhs-pBNA/s320/IMG_4328.jpg" /></a><br />

yep, this is me. my name is John and i manage club communications. i DRIVE a '66 concours Mustang GT. Fastiques love their cars but they don't care much for trailers. my car may be technically correct down to the markings on nuts and bolts but... i no longer slide under it to polish the springs and drive shaft. honestly, i wouldn't fit anymore. i think that is why most street rods are built low, so nobody would look.Pumpkin Run Nationals by Fastiqueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01395164420545556372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753201276820892709.post-56194523420946888112009-12-03T17:23:00.000-05:002009-12-03T17:23:02.748-05:00Medium Rare Merc<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR01wb4Y1XZ8IvLste9Dc8RSL-wu0dLYe_BNhCXc5FQ2imBxT87pJVvcCpH3Z9eOj7Zv-FDHYZr8_knOyil9ICd6R8mTBhk5IjB-2C7xCeFWSigU6dQhGkDP2kXEg3U-3C4NG5XnMuL_r-/s1600-h/the_merc_outline.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR01wb4Y1XZ8IvLste9Dc8RSL-wu0dLYe_BNhCXc5FQ2imBxT87pJVvcCpH3Z9eOj7Zv-FDHYZr8_knOyil9ICd6R8mTBhk5IjB-2C7xCeFWSigU6dQhGkDP2kXEg3U-3C4NG5XnMuL_r-/s320/the_merc_outline.bmp" /></a><br />

why is it medium rare? no, not the color but the owner. this is club member and vice president Joe Herrera's Merc. since he lives out of town (Middletown), we don't see it much either. in fact, urban legend has it that he actually drives it. look for this car, its owner and other oddities at the Pumpkin Run next year.Pumpkin Run Nationals by Fastiqueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01395164420545556372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753201276820892709.post-29378443058866274332009-12-01T20:48:00.002-05:002009-12-01T20:53:42.123-05:00Got Fins?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpg7j3zJRJm14_TXWha0Ts9TVJ0pfF6blM1Vx7k838TVyoUWBbE7nN_8bI3kxpHopMSTCrqNRtt6nrtN3eeMIPPbddyTzIjgFAQZgznVuaWKneSiuFLCENMCw5pgGDTqeJHSjQh0tOENoG/s1600/IMG_4321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpg7j3zJRJm14_TXWha0Ts9TVJ0pfF6blM1Vx7k838TVyoUWBbE7nN_8bI3kxpHopMSTCrqNRtt6nrtN3eeMIPPbddyTzIjgFAQZgznVuaWKneSiuFLCENMCw5pgGDTqeJHSjQh0tOENoG/s320/IMG_4321.jpg" /></a><br />

John has about 10 cars, i on the other hand do not have the storage space nor cash for ten trash cans. there are a few members that believe that my '66 Mustang might count as one. this wagon is tricked out with a surf board and none of us would doubt that John would hang ten down the Ohio if the surf was up.Pumpkin Run Nationals by Fastiqueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01395164420545556372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753201276820892709.post-50162437525767708312009-11-15T13:33:00.001-05:002009-11-15T13:34:32.041-05:002009 Pumpkin Run Nationals Give Away Car WinnerDavid Thompson from Morrow, Ohio won this year's give away car. each year we purchase a new car body and chassis thru Danny's Rod Shop. as the year progresses, sponsors and donors will provide parts for services for this project. Danny will use these and assemble them to the car. at the awards presentation<br />
a ticket will be drawn from the hopper for a winner. to enter the drawing; you must have a car entered in the show. to win the car, your ticket must be drawn, you must be present, the car must be registered in your name and... it must start. generally these cars average a value of $25,000.<br />
