Very cool build. Just saw this. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/...ars-and-influence-people-part-two/?refer=news
Oh wow--thanks for the props, all! Here are Parts 3 and 4: (more coming, too, btw) https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/...-in-10-years-and-influence-people-part-three/ https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/...d-in-10-years-and-influence-people-part-four/
Congrats on the press @Stoner...Pretty radical T...look forward to the next installment. A bevy of talent wrapped up in this. The sketches are awesome...compliments to the artist as well
Cool looking car! I love those radius rods. I have a 47 Ferguson tractor with radius rods like those and have wondered if anyone had ever used them on a rod. The front suspension is very innovative.
Cool stuff Dan. I remember when I first saw Tim's original sketch I thought it was super cool. I am sure I have it saved somewhere with a bunch of his other "sketches"
Thanks, all...and just wait for a few surprises in upcoming chapters: lots of help from the HAMB in making it happen!
Ah, YEAH! It amazes me that there's been so much chatter over this thing, but that's cool--I'm flattered. It's been a slow process, but GOD...in that time, I've been able to find every single part I've always wanted for it. Well, except for a pair of 18" spindle-mounts--I always wanted those for the car instead of the 15s, but I got such a smoking deal on these that it makes up for it...
...aaaaaaaand Chapter Six (it's getting complicated, now): https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/...od-in-10-years-and-influence-people-part-six/
Here's the next chapter of the T, you guys--this is more focused on the parts and there were more than a few HAMBers who helped me out with them. Good times... https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/...-in-10-years-and-influence-people-part-seven/
That's true--one thing that always impresses me about Tim's work is that that car or the bike or the hadron collector he builds always looks just like the sketch he made before he built it...
I have a version of one of Tims drawings tattooed across my back. I’ve been a fan for a long time. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
WHAT??!? Why haven't I heard about this before, 30W?? Pics, man...PICS! Also, the next chapter is up: https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/...d-in-10-years-and-influence-people-part-nine/
It’s based off of this drawing. I’ll have to get my wife to take a pic Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
So I finally sat down and read all of the installments from start to finish and man what an exciting ride you have been on! I don’t do social media anymore but before I logged off of Facebook I had seen that you had gotten that 392. I had hoped that it had fueler history and I’m stoked that we get to live through you with these chapters on your build. I’m on the other side of the country and this is the kind of stuff I’ve always dreamt of. I once built a 67 Jim Davis FED and every time I struck an arc on the chassis or did any work on it, I fantasized that it once ran in the big show. I’ve been following Tim since the Armageddon Top Fuel days when he was gonna do a good vs evil deal with his fuelers and have always been so impressed with his art and build abilities. I don’t believe you could have chosen a better builder to turn your vision into reality. I can’t wait for the next installment. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Glad to hear you dig the series so far, 30W--it's been the best journey of my car life and it can get a little nerve-racking to "put it all out there" like this. But it's been nothing but good vibes. And here's the next chapter: https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/...t-rod-in-10-years-and-impress-people-part-10/
Interesting installment. Every time I see your t I see the uncertain t influence as well as the purple people eater (both are very high on my favorite list). In fact I was almost obsessed with both for some time. I remember getting the copy of hot rod Magazine with the PPE on the cover way back when I was a teen. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
The latest! https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/...-rod-in-10-years-and-influence-people-part-11 Looks like we might be responsible for another creating another hotrodder...thank GOD...
