Well, after a little over 20 years of being on the HAMB, I can finally post in the Banger monthly meet thread! Picked this up a couple weeks ago...
I missed this build, but after catching up on it all I can say is WOW! Beautiful work! We built the rail in my profile pic in 67 days to make TROG...
Too cool. I remember reading (and dreaming) about that car and the fun you were having with it back in the day. I miss my Bomb Factory Digger...
Years ago, (I mean, like, 20) I had kartbreaker ship me a T frame from Texas. What we found is that if you don't call it an 'automobile' part,...
Looking for info on this car- It was in Hot Rod, October 1948 belonging to Frank Williamson. Timed 105.26 at a Russetta Timing Assn meet in...
The second method- isn't that what GM did with the "Jetfire" Olds? Run methanol (I think it was basically windshield washer solvent) and inject...
It's been a long time since I've posted here, and finally I have something worthy of posting. Early this summer, I got a text from my friend and...
Here is ours on my son’s TROG car. It’s exactly that- a truck center section with flipped axle bells.
Oh, and I forgot to add, I know you've picked one, but another possible name for an A body like that is "Contender", as in "Cuda been a...
Wow! I did a HAMB search for Super Stock springs and this was one of the first threads that popped up. I've spent the last hour and a half (off...
Subscribing. I can't believe I've missed this one.
Is that in place of the 'tech-o-matic'? I tried looking for an article I know used to be there, and can't find the tech-o-matic forum... I...
Actually, we are pretty lucky on the west side of Detroit. I grew up in Canton, and we had the Daly's on Main and Ann Arbor Road in Plymouth...
OK, thanks. Although with the limited space in a T, I'm thinking that the smaller trans may be better... I didn't know the 60 even came in...
Wow. That's really good stuff in both posts. Thank you for that! Juice brakes. I was just reading about the spring in front yesterday on a...
Thanks for the reply, Patmanta. I have a 1919-25 style frame and a similar vintage cowl for a closed car, but I really think I like the look of...
I've been thinking long and hard lately about building an Improved Ford gow job. I'd really like to do it with a V8-60 and keep it to a 'pre war'...
I knew I saw it done on something early- couldn't remember if it was the Blitzen Benz or an early Indy T... I'm pretty certain it was both. ;)...
Thanks for the link. I'll have to check it out at home- Ford has the site blocked for some reason... jk
I like this. Thanks for a clear, simple insight. jk
I agree with all the assessments so far, but figures it was worth a discussion. ;) And the holes idea is exactly what I thought too. Great minds...
I follow most of them on Facebook or Instagram. I think the draw to those outlets is the ability to "weed out" who you interact with. Eliminates...
So, with Bonneville being cancelled a again, and going over in my head all things speed... I came across a sketch I found on another forum of a...
California Bill's 6 cylinder speed manual has a blurb on it.
Button fly 501's used to be my favorites... Man i miss them. Let's hope they can make some USA made jeans that AREN'T $300... they'd be a hit...
Subscribing. ;) JK
Is this Windsor, ON, looking at Detroit? Looks like the Fisher building in the background... with the Penebsocot Building in front of it? JK
Well, I can vouch for at least one green Tucker being around the Detroit area- my dad is in the orange shirt taking the picture 'under the hood'....
I was just reading on FB that he did another speech in Phoenix recently, and it still has not surfaced... JK
And for the explanation of what "GMB" means, well, you're gonna have to get that in person. ;) And bring a banjo.... LOL Jason (JK)
