History How about photo's of your past hot rods & customs

When I joined the Hamb I had two hot rods.





The 4 door went to Japan & the roadster went to Missouri.

Then I built the '32 pickup.



It ended up in Texas.

Then I bought the '32 five window.



And it ended up back in Alabama with a Hamb member & original builder.

I then purchased a '32 sedan from a friend who hada stroke and could no longer drive.



I traded this car to a fellow Texas member hamber for his 4 door hiboy.



I traded the 4 door to a fellow club member in Knoxville,Tennessee for another 5 window coupe.



This one also went to a fellow Hamber and now resides in Cherokee, North Carolina. HRP

 

That is an impressive string of cars.
Do you get bored with a car quickly?
It seems you sell a deuce to buy a deuce.
What was wrong with the first deuce?
To me they are all really nice.
Lucky you!

 

If anyone gives a rip about what I used to drive (doubtful) it's all in my profile.

 

My old T. I wish I didn't get rid of. My 51 merc!

Then This!

Then I traded it to get this back!

 

Mark, I remember seeing these photo's in one of the magazines back in the day, and though that guy builds cars like I like.

I had no idea it was you. HRP

 

I DONT FEEL LIKE CRYING OVER RIDES FROM THE PAST THAT GOT AWAY
SO I WILL PASS ON PHOTOS

 

All this transpire over the last 15 years.

I wouldn't say I get bored,the first deuce I owned for about 13 years and sold it to get the deuce in my avatar back that I had built several years prier to the 4 door sedan.

I sold the roadster because I thought I wanted a coupe, that was not a wise decision. but a fellow member questioned me about the coupe and when we discovered it was his old coupe I let him have it back.

I then built the 32 pickup and I had no intention of ever selling it but the right roadster was about to come up for sell and I didn't have any ready cash and I sold the truck in a weak moment, and the deal with the roadster fell through.this one I really miss.

I purchased the red sedan from a friend that had a stroke and needed some cash,I really didn't need it but he needed the money and I planned on selling it after I got it running, I got offers of all kinds of cars but traded for the 4 door hiboy, I had the hiboy for about a year or so and traded for thee hiboy coupe.

I really liked the car but I wanted to build a flathead V8. 5 speed/ quick change and when pen was put to paper I just didn't have the funds to do it,so I sold it to someone who could.

I'm in the process of building a new car, and it's not a 32 Ford,just time to build a car I have wanted since I was a kid. HRP

 

You certainly are fortunate for having all those 32's.
Ever since I was a kid, when I heard the phrase "Hot Rod", Milners deuce coupe pops into my head.
I've always wanted one!
I have been watching your shoebox thread with interest as I have a 50 coupe that I am starting on this winter.
It's the only coupe I can afford other that my o/t 69 Falcon Sport Coupe.
32-34 coupes are a rare & expensive thing up here north of the 49th.
Is there like an over abundance of cool old cars down there?

 

Here's me in 1957. 265 sbc, 3 97s, dual point distributor, Buick trans, dropped axle, primed with a vacuum cleaner. C/A at the drags. On the streets of northern NJ in late 1950s. And still playing with rods in my retirement. Now in my 80s.

 

This and this are the only heaps I have had on the road since joining the HAMB.



Not HAMB friendly (below)



If you want really former this is one of damned few pics I have from my ill spent youth. I wish I had a pic of my old coupe from this era.

 

Beeno,I know your old truck was a fire breathing monster. HRP

 

Not a hot rod or custom, but a restoration of a 1932 Hupmobile model F222 straight 8.

 

Just daily transportation.

That old truck tipped @ 4,000 pounds. If I ever overcome this summer's hospital bill and can find time to get into the shop that motor is going into my 1500 lb Crosley.

 

The Crosley is going to be using the same engine that was in the truck? HRP

 

6 months after Viet Nam and a new paint job, the 1968 Baltimore car show.... PS never on that board in my life, just trying to woo the Go-Go girls who were with the live band at the show

 

Yep. I may do a cam upgrade to see if I can squeeze a little more juice out of it.

That motor is like a Timex, it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. I think that the Crosley will be like body number 6.

 

Cool.HRP

 

LOL my second and third wives.

 

You ain't right Beeno! HRP

 

Only photo I have of my first car, 61 Impala four door hardtop, 348/3 speed, this is how it looked a few months after selling it.


Second car in high school, 283/4 speed/4.11's.


High school graduation gift to myself after selling the 57.
Factory 327/4 speed/12 bolt.


64 Malibu wagon, rare two door, 425 Olds/4 speed/12 bolt.



First drag car, 355/B/W Super T-10/Olds/Pontiac 5.38's.


64 Impala, 327/4 speed.



Maybe not hot rod material by some.
66 Suburban, originally 283/p.g. now 355/turbo 350, still have it.



67 Nova, 327/350 h.p./4 speed, bought in 1983, still have it.
OT so no photo.

 

Man, you guys have had some beautiful cars & trucks. HRP

 

Yes, the garage shot was for Rod Action magazine back in the 70's. Man time fly's I still had some hair, not much but some. Good catch HRP.

 

Sunday bump. HRP

 

I built this when I was a kid and owed it until a few years ago.
