History WHAT DID YOUR ROD OR CUSTOM PROJECT LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU GOT IT

January 2019



Progress..........Slow, But Progress

 

Taboo the day we brought it home in 2009

 

January 2016 ....
and last week

 

Recovered from a ravine in northern Nevada 1981, went to work on it ,planned first to build it as a resto-mod Fordor , Body work almost completed 1985 , Divorce stalled the project . I raised my kids in my Shop . They moved out in 1999 , by then I had been dreaming about what I wanted to do to my 33 Fordor ,so I cut it up and reassembled it as a 33 C400 Victoria. finished and on the road jan.2004

 

Wow, you nailed it on this build.

 

Picking it up in Kansas. It's my avatar now.
27 Coupe on a 1982 Mazda PU frame with a Dauntless 225 Odd Fire.
The guy had chopped the top and the doors. The passenger door was missing.
No floor. No steering.
Luckly, the guy still had the top and I welded it back on.
I was going to keep it the way I picked it up and call it "The Jug Head Mobile".
My brother, "the tool", is in the picture.

 

Most impressive..

 

A lot better than it does now

 

You really need to go to Famoso or Pomona and boil those hides.

From back in the 1990’s and back a couple three months ago. Still not done.

 

1992 and now.

 

Couple of mine. You guys may have seen them before.
The T is my first build. I was in high school (1993 or 94) when I started gathering parts. The body came from a ditch, but it still cost me $400, probably because he could tell that I really really wanted it.

 

Absolutely beautiful car.HRP

 

The abandoned project we took on for Richard. HRP



This is where we had him sitting in the car & get him comfortable, At 88 years old he finally got to drive his car. HRP

 

Dave, this car may very well be the must unique builds on the Hamb, a one off Phantom car that was never in production always spurs the imagination and to paint it black says a lot for the builder.

The more I see this car the more I like it. HRP

 

Dont have a pic handy of my GMC

Mine always start off looking pretty much like this

 

Thank You HRP , While building my 33 , I expected the finished car would get a lot of attention . Hasn't happened . Even 33-34 owners pass right on by . I think most who knew it was not a production body style have passed ? The license plate ( RARE33) gets a few comments , Like yeah another Rare Ford! haha , I just shrug and smile , Thanks again for your opinion . D Mc

 

My thought is you did such fantastic metal work people are unaware it's a one off, and causally think it's something Henry built.

That in it's own way say's a lot. HRP

 

Not done but running, driving and spreading joy where ever it goes.

 

What it was....

What it was when it arrived at my house....

What I did to it.....

What it is now....

I did a lot more to it, I just don't have pictures of it.

 

My 39 Chevy 2-dr. sedan had the passenger side door smashed in. Took a torch to cut it in half to get it off the post. Drove from Ky. to Tenn. to get another door and a porta-power to straighten the pillar out.

 

Still plugging away...
