Projects You can't Making Chicken salad out of Chicken Sh!t

I've heard the old adage my entire life and taken literally it's true but when the analogy is applied to some of the builds h ere on the Hamb there is no doubt that it is entirely possible, figuratively!

There have been so many build threads where talented hands have designed and built what others would have left where it was found.

Giving this thread some thought I originally wanted to give credit to those gentlemen that always seem to pull off the amazing builds, they don't post a lot but when they start with less than perfect sheet metal and with their own special ways of thinking outside the box.

I know it sounds trite, but their actions speak stronger than words,I decided not to do so for fear of overlooking someone that should receive the acknowledgement.

I would appreciate you guys giving props to the men who constantly "Make Chicken salad outta chicken sh!t." HRP

 

.................You can do it, but it just doesn't taste the same!

 

Been trying for a long time,what I do, do well is "Synchronize Junk" very well,an that's kind of the same thing !!!

Name of one of my race cars!!!
As for car drawings,ya but long lost,I did lot of airbrush T-shirts,too many to count,but some of the ones in my head became real rods and others never were drivers,just cartoons. Love those guys that can do cut-a-ways.

 

Hat tip to some of the most amazing talent I've ever seen...right here on the HAMB......I love chicken salad!

 

The shop foreman in the first automotive machine shop I worked would use that term when a customer wanted you to do magic on their pile of $#/t parts.
Heard it pretty regularly.

 

Hahaha!!!!

 

Amen, thanks HRP

 

That's one of the things about this place, full of inspiration and ideas .

 

i love Flops work. he is a master. much respect.....

 

Thats what I love about Jonathan W.
Everything he works on is chicken crap. He never gets excited and shows you how to move chicken crap up to lipstick on a pig.
Then it is up to the next guy to make it nice.

Just sayin

 

You are right, HRP, there are some threads where guys have performed the impossible bashing on old tin that would otherwise have ended up getting crushed for scrap.

Winco stores have great chicken salad.

 

Flop is one of the guys I was thinking about. HRP

 

The Strange Days Garage crew are a talented group of guys. HRP

 

Colonel Sanders? Or is it the other way around?

 

This guy ain’t bad.
That truck de-butchering thread was great
And quite a few more un-hackings I’ve witnessed.

Elpoloko does good work but he don’t post no mo !

 

Robert (MP&C) is another master. HRP

..........Robert's work is incredible. A visionary.

 

Cody Walls. Snowman

 

...................For sure.

 

There is a saying my German friends use. Es ist uns wieder gelungen aus Scheiss Bratkartoffeln zu machen. Which means, once again we have successfully made fried potatoes from shit. There’s been a lot of fried potatoes made by HAMBers.

I like hasbrowns, they're hard to screw up!

 

I totally agree. HRP

 

Tip 'o the hat to the Wizzard (two z's because he can build cars in his sleep better then the rest of can in our waking hours) or @Pist-n-Broke to the rest of you hoodlums. Working with the Wiz reminds me of how much I have left to learn in this hobby. When he offers his help on your threads, F'n pay attention!

 

Never heard that one, though sometimes "Ya can't polish a turd".

 

"Never heard that one, though sometimes "Ya can't polish a turd"."
But you can roll it in glitter!

 

Lots of talent on the HAMB for sure!

 

There are so many I have seen on here it is hard to call them out or remember specific names but I get a shit load of inspiration from them!

 

Flamedabone. And they go FAST too!
