intro

[Nimrod]

Hello there.........This whole introduction thing seems a little queer to me, but I've been lurking long enough to know its standard protocol. So here goes!

Live in Boulder Creek California (near Santa Cruz). In my youthful 20's. Been driving my '29 A roadster on '32 rails for about eight years. Collecting parts for a '27 T roadster pickup project (a hillbillyesque crap hauler). And picked up a '57 Chevy pickup last month for more immediate crap hauling needs (Z'd the frame front and rear last weekend so as to look cool while "crap hauling").

I know I'll be able to pick up lots of usefull information here (I allready have), and I hope I've got some to offer. I'll try and post some a couple of pictures but??????????

picture of the '27 mocked up on cans.

[Fat Hack]

Looks like a cool roadster parked in front of that '27...must be your driver, eh? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

You may be a youngin' but ya sound pretty cool...at least you ain't building Toyotas with big wings! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Welcome!!!

[k9racer]

proper display of the flag the stars go to the left,,,,

[injectedA]

Oohrah k9.

Yeah, the whole pic of the shop looks like a good time. More.

[Nimrod]

Flag is a window covering, displayed correct on the outside.
I am a fuckin nimrod and only by the grace of god did that first picture come through. I think my problem is the resolution is too high. I took the photos on the cameras lowest setting, then I open them in Paint and save them there. Beyond than I'm lost.

[injectedA]

Window view? Yeah I knew that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Still more shots of the roadster would be nice.

[Nimrod]

another shot of the T mock-up.

[injectedA]

The T is lookin damn nice.

But hey, more about the bike.

[Sam F.]

cool stuff http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Nimrod]

The shity pickup yesterday

[Nimrod]

motorcycle project

[injectedA]

Couldn't make up your mind? One of everything? Trucks done.

Envious here.

[Fast Elvis]

The shity pickup is ....not too shity at all! The bike project is looking good also.....I guess now it boils down to time, some cash and afew buds that don't drink all your beer when there lending a hand with your rides.

[NortonG]

Wicked stuff! The 27 look great mines in the same stage of completion. Welcome to the HAMB.

[Nimrod]

Shit 27 kid you mean you too have done nothing but sit on your ass and scratch your head! Huh?

[NortonG]

Shit I've had it over a year and just starting the frame this week. I must have too much time on my hands. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Yeah 48 flatty and running gear body mocked up everything in the right places I just need to get it finished!

[Nimrod]

I'm trying to keep my projects in order, so I'll start working on the '27 when the sportster is done. Should only be a month or so.

[Mai Ki-Ki]

Welcome...

Damn near perfect proportions on that T!
In fact you seem to have a good eye for all the stuff there.

Cheers

Maiki

i have a feelin your the guy who keeps showin up at b-ville with the best lookin A on deuce rails i have ever seen, judgin from the bike i would say its you ,good eye!!! welcome

[Southfork]

Welcome. You gonna run the spring behind the axle on that T?

[zman]

Welcome. You got some good looking rides there.

[redmeat]

<font color="red">Is that an OLy beer can I see holding up your car!!!!!!!......any OLy drinker is OK by me!....Welcome to the HAMB looks like it is going to be a fun ride !

R E D M E A T </font>

[jalopy43]

Welcome to the HAMB!! Cool projects. Good to see that 8ba in the rpu!!Good luck, Glenn

[Missing Link]

Anyone that can mock up their ride with beer cans is A-o.k. in my book.

[bufordtjustice]

Welcome and awesome lookin rides. Greg

[Nimrod]

Yeah Southfork, spring behind the axle.
Plan right now is to run the axle in front of the radiator, and spring behind the radiator. With the cowl and rad. shell lined up there wouldn't be enough room for a decent radiator above the spring so it'll hang down there between 'em.

Body'll sit on the frame, and the frame will angle up at the cowl and start tapering down ending in some spindly little frame horns over the axle. I'm going to cut off the subframe under the bed, and the frame will follow up the curve at the back of the tub up to where the bed is sitting, then along the bottom of the bed. Rear will be supported by parallel leafs.

[robber grin]

welcome from a loser who loves your 57

[Nimrod]

Thanks Robber grin, here is a photo of the '57 loaded up for the flea market last weekend.

[Nimrod]

I guess that didn't work!

[Nimrod]

another try

[Nimrod]

Well attatching photos just isn't working for me!

[Nimrod]

Last try?

[Fastsporty]

nimrod welcome. Is that sporty frame bend down on the rear triangle or is it just the pic? did you buy that frame or fab it yourself? It just looks a little"off" to me.
FS

[Nimrod]

Hey Fastsporty, not sure what you meant there. But thats a modified sportster frame, using the sportsters two bottom tubes, the head tube, and the junction piece behind the gas tank (shouldn't have used that, a little too bulky).

I could use some tips on posting photos if anyone can help. I tried to link to some pictures I saved at Photobucket.com and that just resulted in a red X. And I can't seem to figure out how to resize small enough to attach them dirrect. I'm a computer rookie!

[Nimrod]

[Nimrod]

Hey I'm figurin' out this photo shit!

[Nimrod]

I think I know what I'm doing now so here are a couple of pictures I tried to post before.

[Nimrod]

Last one, my roadster.

[Thirdyfivepickup]

I love yer stuff... especially that last pic. I was hoping to see it on the salt in August... didn't http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

It needs to grace the walls in my livingroom!!!!

[Mai Ki-Ki]

*sob*

*sniff*
wAAAHHHHH! No fair!
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Nimrod]

I was there last August, almost all week! '99 was my first time, and I think I'm hooked. I don't think I'll ever miss speedweek.

[DoubleClutch]

Nice toys! Welcome!

[thirtytwo]

yup thats the roadster i swear that thing is perfect in everyway, im gonna start billing you for my film though http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gifi always manage to take pics of it whenever i see it

[AnimalAin]

Welcome to the HAMB. We need more bend-in-the-roaders here.

[NealinCA]

I missed this the first time around. I have always admired your roadster also.

Welcome to the HAMB, it's good to have some more guys here that are building early hot rods.

Neal...inCA

[Fraz]

Missed this 1st time round too. How come you don't live in Watersmeet. That's home of the Nimrods, ya know.

Yeah, I know, stupid reference to ESPN commercial.

[SamIyam]

Welcome to the HAMB Nimrod!

I kinda-sorta met you at my party when I had the motor-meltdown... I remember seeing your roadster out in front of my house... it's all a blur... (and I was bummed we didn't get to talk)

Anywho, welcome aboard!
Sam.

[Jive-Bomber]

I totally dig your roadster! I stared at it for a long time in downtown after BilletProof 02. I'm heading down to visit friends in Santa Cruz in the next few weeks, and I'd love to meet you in person.

[Nimrod]

Hey Sam I loved the motor melt down, and was sorry I never got a chance to thank you there and talk to you some.
