Hi Gearheads!
This my first post on the Hamb network. I've been a member of the Inliners International club, NSRA, GoodGuys for many years and thought I'd get into a club that really knows the "Old Skool" look in HotRods.

I have a 1940 Chopped Chevy Coupe with many mods. Nosed, decked, louvered, lowered, Bonneville chop(3.5" front & 4" back),
'39 teardrops, pinstriped, owner flamed and built, and a 292 inline motor that has been warmed up. 270 Wolverine cam, 3" cast split manifold, 3x2 Offy with 3 Holley webers, chambered exhaust, T-5 OD, and 6" exhaust tips! Very cool and old skool.

I'm an Industrial Designer by trade and design, fab, and install a lot of my own custom pieces to my car. I've just finished a 5-carb log intake to go on my '40 with 7" tall velocity stacks. I'll try to post photos down below.

Hi Max,

Welcome to the HAMB.

Ok dudes, here's some of the stuff that I do. I work on the side creating Cad and Computer renderings for the aftermarket HotRod world. I'm one of those closet designers who stays in the background. I've designed numerous LS1 motor mounts for '32's, custom bracketry, frontends, and a lot of Before/after computer renderings. I'm hooked into about dozen rod shops throughout the country that call on my talents. If a customer wants to chop, flame, modify their car, I'll do all of those renderings before they plunk down the BIG $$$. These rendering are about as close to the real thing as you can get. The shops even blow them up to full size for patterns! Enjoy.

I've designed several intakes for the Inliners Club I belong to. See the real thing below I just finished for my '40. 5-carbs all Aluminum T-6.

A deco type dash that will be going into the '40. It's made up from an antique radio dial!
