Hot Rods I'M GOING TO BUILD AN ALTERED.

Yeah, website is down for rebuilding... Hopefully will be back up and running in the next week or two.
I hate technology...

 

Alrighty then.....

 

Awesome thread. All the advice has helped me a bunch, I'm getting ready to start a build myself. Based a whole lot on pnevells bucket. Paul has been agreat help answering a bunch of questions so far. Awesome build Don, anymore progress? Thanks, Brian.

 

Any updates?

 

We ran out T bucket at the Jalopy showdown last weekend, went a best of 9.57, she'e running pretty good, hope your projects are progressing

 

Awesome Paul! Haven't got started on my build yet. Spent the spring and summer on honey do projects that needed to be done. Our back yard was overgrown when we bought our place, my grandson cleared 400' of fence row this summer. Couldn't see the chain link fence, gained 15' of yard all the way around. .

 

Haven't purchased a body yet, after looking at Don's Bantam I've decided to go that route instead of a Bucket.

 

Mine's getting there little by little - cage is done and tigged.

 

Looks really cool, Keep us posted on progress, we started our winter teardown for maintenance last weekend

 

Do you have a build thread or anymore pictures? Awesome looking so far!

 

Ive posted pics of my progress here and there, but no build thread - I will try to organize some of my pics and start one......that way I can stop Hijacking this one (even though Don said it was OK)

 

I've just read this entire thread today. What happened? finish it? make some runs? sell it? did I miss something somewhere? It was looking pretty good. If I'm out of line, I apologize, just wondering.

What happened to this project? What Happened to Don? No activity on here since 4/29 - thought of this because of Roothawg's Altered Organization Thread

 

Don was building a late model Mustang for a daily driver before he dropped out of sight. He was also on another board I frequent, nothing from him on there in a long time either. I think he is in his 70's, so I hope nothing happened to him, but you never know.

 

mav i think i may have his number in a bucket buddies list, if i remember i'll check. i do know he has been here since being at the other site. i did pm him a couple times but never heard anything from him. that is why i never looked for his number, and really don't want to bother him.

 

Hope he's ok.

 

Did anybody ever hear from Don?

 

yes i'll let him know he was asked about. life has been getting in the way.

 

Thank you 26T, hope everything is ok with him. I know about life getting in the way. I was gathering parts to start a build inspired by Don and Pnevells altered. My wife had a stroke a few years ago and everything has been on hold since then. Hopefully I will get back on track this spring.

 

Yep it's been awhile..................
Don's Hot Rods was last seen:
Apr 29, 2017

 

i sent him a message but it has been over a month since he was there. brian sorry to hear that. as we get older there is the health thing in our way.

 

Maybe he will be back one of these days.

 

Whatever happened to this project?

 

Would like to know also. Hope everything is ok with him.

 

Don hasn't been on the HAMB since April 2017

 

Heard from Don a few months ago, he was finishing up a roadster pickup. I think he got rid of the bantam, may have given it to one of his son's. But he has dropped out of sight again, so no current news...
