In the past, we have had threads focused on the art of the gauge. Revkev6 decided we needed another focused on gauge panels… This is going to be a good one. Check it out.

The Cost Of Hot Rodding
It ain’t cheap fellas… and while it has gotten more expensive over the years, I’m not so sure it has ever been REAL cheap. The following classified ad can be found in a 1954 issue of Hot Rod Magazine: SELL – ’27 T street roadster, 300 cu. in. GMC, Herbert roller crankshaft, maroon upholstery, black [...]
Women in Hot Rodding
In the 1980′s and 90′s it wasn’t all that uncommon to pick up a hot rod magazine and find a bikini clad broad spread out on the latest feature car. As the “traditional” scene has begun to take hold more recently, it’s just as common to pick up a small ‘zine featuring a “pin up” [...]
Holiday Hot Rodding
I’ve been getting a lot of emails about H.A.M.B. Alliance memberships and Calendars. Folks have mostly been interested in whether or not either could be purchased as Christmas presents.

It’s that time of year again… As is tradition, the annual H.A.M.B. calendar is now available for pre-ordering. Get yours while you can, because these are limited and once they are gone, they are gone for good. And of course, no post about calendars could be complete with out thanking a few people that make [...]
History Of A Hot Rodder – Part 2
Part 2 is now available on the H.A.M.B. and it’s every bit as fun as part 1… Enjoy it here.
Happy Thanksgiving
The first H.A.M.B. Drags ever and the Great Gordini showed up from California with the best dressed crew on the track. Dressed in traditional all white, these guys worked their asses off all day trying to get Gordon’s car on the mend. They didn’t see performance to their potential that day, but it wasn’t due [...]
