The aftermath of the Discovery Channel/Jesse James phenom was pretty embarrassing. Our little niche of fabricators, artists, and mechanics was suddenly in a race to see who could liquidate their “image” the quickest. We had beanie wearing fabricators all over the country getting glamour shots and video portfolios put together as fast as they possibly [...]

The 2006 Lonestar Roundup
I’m not a car show guy. I don’t like going to parks, sitting in lawn chairs, or staring at cars that have been immobilized by the promise of trophies or awards. Cars look best in motion and I’ve always felt like car events should be rolling get togethers… always focused on driving. There is one [...]
Low And Slow
Speaking of style, we don’t spend enough time around here talking about historical customs or the genre in general. This is mostly my fault as my passion for hot rods often spills over to every subject I touch. That said, the H.A.M.B. is home to more than a few fellas with amazing expertise on the [...]
War Time Hot Rod
It’s the week after the Roadster Show and I all can do is think about this coupe built/restored by Rudy Rodriguez. I know this car has signifcant history, but I don’t know the details.

The art of Jeff Norwell
The H.A.M.B. community is jam packed full of incredibly talented artists. The traditional Friday Art Post brings out such personalities as Dennis McPhail, Von Franco, Dan Barnett, Sailor, Picasso, and a ton of others. It’s pretty incredible when you think about it and I’m not sure that all of our users truly appreciate or know [...]
