View Full Version : Howdy from Nebraska
Hello all. I'm Jess. Hotrodladycrusr and Malcolm have been patiently pushing me to do an intro, so here goes....
I've been around cars and racing my whole life. My family has raced landspeed at Bonneville since I was six years old. My dad and I have been working on a 1933 Ford 5-window coupe and are beginning to show some real progress.

We have been able to show daily progress lately, so hopefully we can keep up with our goal dates and get this coupe on the highway!
Hey, looks like peer pressure isn't such a bad thing afterall. Thanks!

Welcome, Jess! :)
It's great to have ya here - you're gonna love it.
Can't wait to have you 'n' your dad join us on the road this Spring/Summer. There'll definitely be some good times, I guarantee it! :cool:
It was cool to help you guys out a little on the coupe last weekend. I'll try to make it down there again soon!

Hey sweetie!.....FINALLY :p
Glad to see ya finally took the plunge. The progress looks great. Won't be long now before your blasting down the road. Keep us updated along the way and if you need anything don't hesitate to ask. The collective mass around here is AWESOME.
Welcome aboard!:cool:
Thanks guys. Here are some photos from a few years ago. My dad bought this body the year I was born. He stored it in the attic of the shop until we got it down maybe six years ago.

Hi Jess! It's nice to finally see you here on the HAMB after hearing so much about you. The board track racing display at the museum looks amazing, I can't wait to see it.
It is really great you and your dad have a project together, you are very lucky.
Your dad seems like a great guy. I've talked to him a couple times about my Rajo conversion that Speedy Bill has one of too.
I'm sure we'll meet up somewhere this spring or summer. Keep up the good work and post pics.
Welcome to the HAMB!:D

For the bench seat, we actually figured out what type of mini van to look for at the junk yard due to some links Malcolm sent me from the HAMB. Some great thinkers listed out widths and heights of seats for coupe and roadster projects.

Jess great to see you on here. The few times I've had to talk to you and your Dad you seem like great people and the perfect fit for this place, ( despite your affillation with Malcolm ) especially with your deep rooted racing history. Car looks awesome, keep us posted. Gary

All right Jess!! Welcome to the wonderful world of the Jalopy Journal/H.A.M.B., lots of great help available with your build. It seems Malcolm has already given some good tips. The Coupe looks great already, I am really excited about this cool project. Nice to have met you at the Halloween bash. We all remember you, and you can just say Oh Yeah!! when we see you again and say, we met!! Cool you can do this build with your Dad. Looks like he has some nice tools and equipment for the project!88Rock On!!!-Sololobo

Hey Jess. Glad that you finally made it here. I am sure you will fit right in. I cant wait to see some more updates on the coupe. That it is a father/ daughter project makes it priceless.

Welcome from Bellevue! I can't wait to see your coupe cruising the streets. I also have a 34, 5 window but it's not quite as nice as yours....
I can't thank everybody enough. You've all been very gracious to my dad and myself. The HAMB is quite the family.
I'm starting to be able to cross reference screen names with faces from Malcolm's party and Denise's great photos of that party.
I was so nervous to introduce myself. Thanks again all, for making me feel welcome.
Welcome to the HAMB. Come up to Michigan and join the gang for frozen roadster rides, Sidetracks and Garage Mahal.

Welcome lady, glad to see ya here. But admitting that you know 'Denise' and 'Malcolm', won't do much for your reputation. hehehehe Actually it does, they are both 'quality' folks. That says alot about what they think of you and your dad. The coupe looks great. And remember, you don't have a thing to be nervous about, that is until you come down for Roundup and hang-out with the Torques.......then I'd be nervous..............
Looking forward to meeting you.
Later - BigKen

Welcome Jess, I to was at the famous halloween bash of 07. I don't believe we actually met(Malcom is a shitty host;)) but I remember seeing you there. I'm sure I will see you around. 34 looks great. We are getting ready to start on one here too.

Hey Jess! Welcome to the HAMB! Your coupe is looking real good! I have a '34 5-window myself. Bring that coupe on down to the Round Up in '08. We'd love to have you and your pops.

I would love to go to the round-up and meet you and everybody else. Whether the coupe will be taking us there depends on a bunch of different things. We got some work done on the doors last night:

And we're working on the steering column:

As long as we're able to keep this pace, it might be done in another six years!

Hi. No, not the typical girl at all. But I wouldn't want to be. I wouldn't be able to keep my nails nice anyway. Too much grease and grime in this great project!

Welcome Jess! Glad your here. I also was at Malcolms party, and we talked a little bit. To refresh your memory, I'm in the background of the photo of you at the party. I've got the green hat. Keep the updates on the coupe coming.

Hi Jess: I don't remember being introduced to you. I have known your Dad for quite a few years. I just found out your project was on this site. I think it is real cool you are building a car with your Dad!! You definately have a great teacher. ( and I bet he thinks he has a great student as well). I'll keep watching your progress..
