I stumbled on this video on youtube, And here is a nicely build early rod or gow job. And it got all the right parts on it, kid knows his stuff, and even has a Old Crow Speedshop T shirt on. But is it possible to be this knowledgeable, and not be a HAMBEr? He Rocks that model T like it was 1930s all over again. Enjoy
Gosh no. Do a search for Mr. Model T, he's had a few cool threads on Ts. Gary Or go to this thread http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/mr-model-t-featured-on-jay-lenos-show.1026463/
Thanks for the video link Volvo. Enjoyed that. That is a really cool Hotrod. Gary is absolutely correct. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/my-26-roadster-vintage-photo-search.308741/
When I first saw this car, I figured it was built by some really old guy like me or maybe even older. I was shocked as hell to find out he was still in his 20's when he built this Mr Model T is Clayton Paddison..............
So was isky when he build his I don't know how old you are, but the average age of the HAMB is about 20-22, right? Because we all behave 20, all-over-again, some just slower and remember stuff from before I was born. And 20 is the age where we are old enough to know the difference between right/wrong, but also still young enough to goof it up and be all juvenile, in a good way.
I'm 69 when I drive my daily driver...........and you are correct...........I get in my T coupe and I am the baddest 19 year old in the neighborhood
This is one of my favorite HAMB stories... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...gonmaniacs-epic-journey-to-bonneville.727004/ Bill
I thought all HAMBers was like that with there own era/car/build? Except for the moderest amount Bipolar and OCD that's required to obtain so much knowledge and still be able to do the work needed to build a old hot rod? And I know what a encyclopedia is, and I most confess I quit using it long time ago, about when I quit drinking. Because I take to f()cking long to find anything in it, because I get to easily distracted. I have to read every interesting post on my way through it And drinking almost cost me my license and take too much money out of my car-account And it could make progress slow way-down, because I was Sooooooo "tired" after a night of drinking And I would still pick my car addiction over drinking, smoking or tattoos! Not that I got anything agains other people doing them, not at all!!
NEWS FLASH Local boy does good! Well kinda, not news and not a boy, cripes he has three kids, one 15 year old. Jay is cool is right and it looked like him and Clayton hit it off, great video too. Clayton Maybe this summer, give me a call, come by my place with the T and we can run out to Martys, maybe have a Helvetia burger, I'll buy.
"cripes he has three kids, one 15 year old." I went to my dresser and looked at my birth certificate...... Yep, he's still a kid.
