Here is the last picture I have of my 37. Actually it's not mine anymore http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif but it does belong to a HAMBer (39sled) a newbie from the left coast. Craig bought the car sight unseen, flew out to Michigan and drove it back to California. He was nice enough to send me this pic of it outside Bonneville. I'm sure you west coast HAMBers will see it around. Craig is a hardcore car guy so I know it will be driven like hot rods should be.
I'm not too bummed cause I've got a nice shiny 50 shoebox cdan heading my way from Utah http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif I'll post some pics (so you guys can criticize it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif ) as soon as it shows up. Can't wait!

what kind of suspension do you have going on under there, that stance is PERFECT! my dads got a '37 we're gonna build, hopefully kinda like yours. oh and how'd you do those headers? they are all kinds of sexy as well.

It's got a Mustang II under it. fab32 did the headers starting with a Speedway kit.

Greetings n Salutations:
Sorry boys, she’s all mine now. (I took that picture at the Salt Flats) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Drove her from Michigan to Nor Cal in three n a half days. She ran great every inch of the way. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Here is a pic of my 39 I just sold. She’s down in Texas now. Yes, to another HAMB bone.
Hope I don’t make any message board fouxpas but I real new to this. Should I post a intro, or is that too much of a rookie move?
LemmeNo,
Craig

Those that learn by reading.
Them that learn by observation.
And some just gotta pee on the electric fence for themselves.

Glad to hear that you made the trip without incident. That '37 sure has been put to the test and now a cross country drive to put the frosting on the cake. It was sure nice to meet you and chat for awhile. the time was way too short but we appreciated the drive you had ahead of you. It's good to know the coupe is in good hands and can't wait to see what you do to put your signature on it.
Keep us posted.

The HAMB grows stronger.
Thumbs up to Fuel Pump for the opportunity to see the car evolve, trust we'll get a similar opportunity with the 'new' venture.
Similarly, 'pat on the back' for introducing the new owner to the HAMB, 'spreading the gospel' so to speak........
Welcome to the HAMB to the new owner.
Cheers,
Drewfus http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Well Rich, I hate to see that car go, but I can see that it is in good hands. I am glad to see that it stayed in the HAMB family. I look forward to seeing the new ride soon. -Joe
