    Thanks Chris!

    Wonderful thread. Been searching all over HAMB for a long time to find one
    here and one there. Nothing more hot rod basic than a real A-V8, not just a
    body swap... :D

    My old -29 roadster and my new coming WWII roadster project

    Thanks! The -29 is sold since more than 10 years now, but I'm looking
    forward to start on the new -28 project. :)

    There where a cool banger powered 29 roadster for sale on eBay some months ago.
    Tall skinny High Boy with some faded patinated green paint on it.
    I thought I saved the pics, but can't find them yet.
    Have another disc to search aswell. Can't remember for sure if it was a HAMB car, but i think so.
    Would suite this post perfectly.

    Looks like his Grandma to me.
    The youngster in the roadster can't be more than 20 tops, and the lady looks way past 60.



    Here's Bob Morton taking his mom for a ride.

    this is going to be the best HAMB thread ever,

    as long as we can keep cars like that last one out of it, no offense but that isnt even a highboy . . .

    heres my contribution, all taken from the different posts here

  17. AV8-RIDER,
    That pale green car is Hamber "GZ"s roadster. It, along with Zach Suhr, Amocat, and numerous other pre-war roadsters are my main insporation.

    Mine will be banger powered for now, just kinnda get it running/driving until I can pay a little more attention to it. Then I will swap in a 32 K mebember, V8, undropped heavy axle, and mayyyybe hydrallic brakes. I have all of this stuff hoarded, just gotta get my 33 done before another major project :D

    Chris, I thought that you were goin' to build a '30 on Deuce rails!LOL:D
    Your '28/'29 looks a little bit more complete, than your '30 Roadster.
    Are you goin' for a more Pre-War look now?
    I'm sure whatever you build it'll be Spot-on.I can't wait for the build-up Thread.
    One last thing, I think you NEED a Hallock windsheild, GO ON you know it makes SENSE!!!!!:D:D
    Just been lookin' on Ebay at ''A'' Roadsters, must STOP doin' that got to finish my Coupe first.I blame you lot for posting such Great roadsters on here!!!!!:D

    Nick.
     
  19. HAHA Nick. No Hallock for me, I want a cut down, laid back flat windshield. BUT, if you wanna donate the 1800.00 or whatever they cost, I would probably consider it ;) Yes, I was doing a 30/31 on 32 rails...but then found this roadster, so sold the 30/31 basket case and sold the frame. I really really wanted a 28/29 to begin with, the 30/31 just kinnda fell into my lap.
    Funny thing was, the guy who wanted the 32 frame did not want the K member, so I made a deal with him to keep that to install into my model A frame!!!

    Nice body Chris.
    Will be fun to follow your build.
    Seen your coupe I have great expectations.

    I'm also very fond the pale green car. even though it's very much stock, it has something to it. I guess it's a combination of details. Tire combo, body color etc.

    Here's another down the same alley
    Look up Hop Up Annual from a while back.
