Humor is exactly what I use to deal with issues in my personal life, especially death. It can offend family members at times, but is never meant...
I deserve no credit, haven't been on the HAMB much since 2010. I simply had to salute you, Mr. t-rod, and your family, after reading the KSL...

I started on this model LONG ago, and just pulled it out of the box. Still not close to done but it was inspiring to get it out. The little...
THAT car needs no '32 frame!!! I am speechless at the beauty!
Useless, dumb replies near the beginning. Helpful ideas, answers and advice after that. I have new 16" BFG Long Miler tires from Coker that are...
Your right, I need to go finer.
kan't spell and 31 Vicky, thanks for the help!
Very good point on keeping it clean. So why does the paint store say I will still have to scuff right before painting, to "re-open the pores"...

THAT is exactly what I want in a T coupe. Spring over axle, roof still at nice height. This reminds me of hot rod projects in early '60s...
Of course they are different. '31 roadsters are better looking! Uh oh... What have I done...
I like the dollies made for fitting to the anvil! I'm going to head out to my lathe and make some! Way better than squeezing them in a vice, and...
It went for like 223K BEFORE it was restored, and it was in shabby shape, too. This is the car that sold on Ebay and started at like 500 bucks...
wow!
Looks neat!
So check out these extra parts it came with... I don't know much about the Mallory Magneto, but it does appear old. I believe it was on the...
I think he was acting...
I like the stance of these cars, too. I am getting tired of all the hot rods that sit so low...
I like the way this car sits.
THAT looks wonderful.
Thanks for those pictures and descriptions!
This thread gives me hope... I thought I might be the only one who excitedly boxed my Model A frame, and then realized I hadn't given much...
I thought you were teasing...but then I doubted and I blew it! Crap that was way funny! :o Ok, just one more picture... [IMG]
I am quite familiar with rust on '64-'65 GM A-bodies. This one surprised me because it is rust from a water leak while in storage. The passenger...
Century?? Are you talking about the '54 Bel Air? And if a '62 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 hardtop doesn't fit your tastes, then sorry! They both fit...
