Oh, okay then yes that probably was me. I followed him to the show in my daily and he drove his ‘32 sedan that I now own.
Sorry, wasn’t me. I started hanging out with Frank in ‘06 and honestly I don’t remember him ever going to the LSRU.
[ATTACH] Once or twice a year when I log onto the HAMB to post something it’s usually about my old buddy Frank (Fab32) My wife and I actually...
same here! We’ll have a bunch of new restaurants for you guys to try this year.
Fab32’s old sedan is still alive and kicking. I made a few changes to it. The old 1970s chrome headlights had to go and I replaced them with some...
Way back in March of 2006 I was collecting parts for my first hot rod. I joined the H.A.M.B. and this Fuel Pump guy invited me to breakfast. It...
Yes, that’s Frank in the late 1970’s or early 80s. That shop in the pic looks exactly the same today. I think I’m going to bring the coupe over...
For the old timers here who remember Fab32, I thought you might like this pic of his coupe in action. It’s been in limbo since I built it in 2018,...
Thanks, he was a special guy and I still work out of his shop. I’m very fortunate to still own his old sedan too.[IMG] Sent from my iPhone using...

Hopefully there’s still a few guys around here who remember fab32. A few years ago I built the ‘32 five window he’d owned from 1977 till his...
Yeah, got my confirmation today. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Five point harnesses too. Last year somebody flipped a side by side before the racing even started and split their skull. Then two guys went down...
Thanks, the hoop style is now mandatory for roadster. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
It’s not finished, but it’s done enough for an entry pic. I’m blowing it all back apart tonight. Hopefully I’ll have it all back together in time...

I took my new girlfriend to the Henry Ford Museum where she saw the Goldenrod streamliner. She took a picture, showed her dad and he said “You...
I’ll obviously have to switch to a generator for TROG, maybe an offset mount over the head. But I’ve raced this engine just like this at TROG the...
I have a torque tube so that’s not an option. I have a hood on the car this motor came out of and it’s raced at TROG just like this the last four...
There will obviously be some changes made before the race, (if I get picked.) The front end is from my A coupe project and won’t be on the car if...

Well, I made it thanks to a lot of help from my dad, girlfriend, her dad, my painter, body guy, and another hot rod buddy. I was about ten hours...
I yanked the engine out of my roadster with the help of a buddy from Detroit. (If you’re into vintage motorcycles you might know this guy, Randy...
Final assembly on the chassis started this morning after a few days off under the weather. Hopefully the rear suspension comes back from the...

I only eyeballed the plate that holds the F1 pedals. I haven’t made any linkage yet. Plus, to give you an idea of how low this thing is, the...
[ATTACH] I built his coupe for Autorama last year. He never touched it from 1977 till he passed away four years ago. I had to shove it to the...
Ten days to go and my chassis is ready to pick up from my painter. I found out my radiator isn’t going to fit, it’s just too tall. Not sure if my...
