Hi to all H.A.M.Bers,
I’ve been reading the HAMB for a couple of years off and on and thought it was about time I actually joined in on the fun.
My current ride is a home built ’32 roadster that I have been driving now for two years in pin stripped primer. I think the primer has helped to make it low maintenance and much more fun. I added a top this summer and have been caught in rain ever since.
I have also been working on a ’65 Mustang project with my son. We are aiming for a 60’s A Sedan Trans Am look, dropped stance, four point roll bar and gray five spokes (I apologize that they are 17"). We are currently wet sanding and buffing it. I am being reminded why I like the primer on the roadster as I wet sand. Plans still call for a blue asymmetrical stripe with a number in a black circle for the hood and doors.
A 59AB flathead and a ‘48 banjo rear also are sitting in the garage waiting for a car or truck to be built around them. I happened to be at the right place at the right time to pick it up for free:D . It has a 3 5/16 bore, Merc 4" stroke crank, adjustable lifters and late style valves and retainers. It appears to be very low mileage since it was rebuilt. I’ve been reading a lot of flathead tech postings during my tear down.
Great message board, looking forward to participating.
