Off topic, but an opportune time to wish you a Happy Bosses Day, Ryan. Visiting this place is always on my daily list of to dos. And agreed about...
Ahhhh....simpler times. Thanks for the time trip.
That would be the original Mustang!
SOLD on another site, but thanks for the exposure, HAMB.
For those of us who only have space and $ for one hobby car at a time, it's a pretty simple process. If we lust for a car, the one we have has to...
If you want an automatic, read no further. Real hotrods have 3 pedals. The usual 350ci Chevy (73 block, 4-bolt mains), mostly stock (2100 mi...
I grew up in CT, had a paper route (Hartford Courant) in the late 50s, sometimes delivering papers in knee-deep snow. Learned to hate it. Now I...
x2 on that. Sacred as is. Get it running/stopping is about all that should be done. Wowza.
RE: "Getting the mail will always be one of my favorite activities..." Drink more Ovaltine!
Bermuda Bells were popular in the Northeast in the 50s ( grew up in CT), very hard to find now. I did eventually find one a few years ago, paid...
There's a guy who sure looks a lot like Tommy Ivo in couple of those pix. Born 1936, would have been 17 in '53. Possible?
Seems to me that a lid like this with a HAMB logo on it would sell well to a bunch of us in the HAMB marketplace. I wonder how hard it'd be to...
One word: WOWZA!!!
Not to derail this thread, but here's a related question. Some states, by law, don't allow drivers to pump their own gas. I've run into this a...
How's your dog doing, Ryan? Critters are cool.
At 76, I am pretty much showed out myself. For me, a car show has just become a good destination - an excuse for a road trip. I enjoy the drive,...
Originality? Yup. My cup of tea? Nope. But different strokes....
Sure as hell fooled me (pretty easy task actually) until I read your narrative. Amazing!
Page 1 has prolly shifted some since this thread started, but as I write this, there is a black '31 Model A Tudor that would be my pick. I have a...
Retired, and finishing up a '40 Ford project. 2020 vs 2021: More time building in 2020, more time driving in 2021. All due to project status...

The bigger a business gets, the more personality and customer service is lost. I am 75 and retired, but more than once in my career, when a small...
Stella is cool! And RE the sign, it reminds me of a line from the movie Galaxy Quest: "Never give up! Never surrender!"
I'd rather see one hotrod or custom of even mediocre quality going down the road than a hundred megabuck shiny show cars sitting in a show. I...
Building a hot rod when you don't weld is a real challenge. I don't weld, usually can figure out how to avoid a weld by using bolts and brackets....
Wowza!!!
What a timely, appropriate, and well written tribute! My Mom "graduated" 9 years ago at 92. She always loved driving, and had some pretty cool...
I too put a SBC and Muncie in a '40 Tudor. Like others, had to notch some of the cross member to clear the shifter. For clutch linkage, I used...
Wowza, some road trip! I despise winter, but this somehow looked like fun. At least it did from the warm comfort of my driver's seat - desk...
My "shop" is my 3-cars-jammed-into-an-attached-garage-built-for-only-2. A video would last about 5-10 seconds. Two snapshots would be...
