Projects Show me the HAMB Thread Cover Cars

This is a thread for cars that had a thread during their build and then ended up as a magazine cover car or at least a feature car. The HAMB doesn't get the credit it deserves for the quality of cars its members put out.

 

Love it.

 

Rod & Custom Aug. '08 cover/feature

 

Had a few of features on the '62 Uni and a bunch of mentions in other mags.



I'll have to come back later for the Model A, feature isn't out yet.

Also named a "Top 10 Street Rod of the Year" for 2013 and won the Best Hot Rod Award at the 2013 Rodder's Journal Revival.




I was a hell of a year for the Chemical City Coupe. I'm kind of stunned and very honored by all the attention the car has gotten.


The full build thread is in my signature.

Roach Rod was on the cover as well!

 

Not everyone likes to brag about their car or blowing their own horn...but I don't mind. I'm proud of mine and the fact it was built here on the HAMB. Here's the link to the build:

And below is a pic of my Cadillac -awarded "Traditional Homebuilt Heaven" at GoodGuys ColoRODo event, then awarded GoodGuy's "Traditional National Homebuilt Heaven" winnner (thanx to votes from lots of HAMBers), appeared in GoodGuy's Gazette many times. Awarded "Shelby's Pick" via the HAMB voting contest early 2012 and Ger, the artist put it on a t-shirt as a prize from Shelby's.

When I started my T modified I didnt even know what the hamb was. I had it in a local shop getting sheet metal work done and one of the employees started taking pictures and putting them on the hamb(i didnt know he was doing this). So I guess it had a small build thread.

 

I guess I forgot to say it was on the cover of rod and custom in 2007.

 

Come on Langan post the pictures of your truck!! Rick lets see some pictures of the E&B sedan..........I know there are more cover cars that our fellow hamber's have! Lets see emn

 

My '56 appeared on the HAMB frequently during its construction, and was featured in Kustoms Illustrated and Street Rodder:

Not one long build thread, but lots of small ones, back in the archives.

 

I see the One Star Thread Hater Rater has struck again.

 

You sir,are an idea's man.Great choice for a thread..

 

I always loved Larry's coupe. HRP

 

Clark's T, 3 page layout in Traditional Rod and Kulture fall 2007 and the entire back cover. The photo's were taken by Spike kilmer.

 

Yup, what HRP said... Larry's car ruined me for life.

My own pat in the back, build thread from day 1 till end right here, not knowing how famous it would become, here's a pic I never posted when in primer

It was featured in many rags, amongst them Street Rodder.

 

The "Roach Rod" was built before I joined the HAMB, looks like fun and a great read.

 

NICE! Keep em coming

 

Just got this one.
