Around a year ago I posted on the H.A.M.B. asking for vintage boat images. As a result, we got to see a ton of breathtaking old boats. I don’t have a real interest in boating per se, but it’s always fun to find inspiration in places where you wouldn’t expect to find it. In that same vein, [...]

Corky Coker
When I first started thinking about the H.A.M.B. Alliance, I knew it was of utmost importance to land a large and well-respected vendor to give the program some legitimacy. The company I focused on first was Coker Tire. Before too long, I was sharing emails and trading ideas with Corky Coker and his tire company [...]
Out For A Bit
I’m hopping a jet plane this afternoon bound for Tennessee… Gonna spend some time with a friend of ours. As such, the blog will be silent ’till Wednesday. Don’t fret though – we’ve got some pretty decent articles headed your way later in the week. As I always like to say, “stay tuned.”
$50 Paint Job
The modern day paint job is an expensive one – labor intensive while using lots of costly materials. Well, I stumbled upon what appears to be a less then perfect, but cheap alternative while surfing the net. Check it out and let us know what ya think.
When Print Was Alive
While working on a recent project, I put a post on the H.A.M.B. looking for a scan of a specific Almquist catalog. During the process of doing this research and looking at submissions of other catalog covers and ads on the forum, I became amazed at how well done all of the Almquist colateral material [...]
Mystery Dragster
Kiwi Kev is in the news again… This time he has found what quite possibly may be an old Kent Fuller chassis, but he’s not sure. You can see more shots and Kev’s original post here. Anyone have any clues as to who might have built this car? Regardless, it’s RAD.

Vintage Aussie
As we continue our quest to catalog as many vintage images as we can on the H.A.M.B., Adam brings us some shots from down under of his pal’s ’34 roadster. One of the great things about old pictures like these is that you get the opportunity to observe different creative treatments that were tried in [...]
Cole Foster
I don’t really remember the first time I heard Cole Foster’s name. More than likely, it was in reference to his father in some way, shape, or form. ‘Hey, you know Cole Foster? Pat’s kid?” Nothing changes the world more than work and time. Cole has prospered with both and now has a reputation that [...]
