    Hi Folks thanks for dropping in to Mart's garage. Thanks to any and all that have donated to my daughter's charity fundraiser. It's very much appreciated. There's still a chance to give if you would like to, here is a link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/katy-holden01
    My Model A Roadster on 32 rails, Old Rusty has been quoted as being influential and along with other cars being built at the time inspired people to have a go with what they had. The build was documented on my web site and on the fledgling HAMB in the early days of internet hot rodding. The poor old thing has been parked under a tarp in the front garden for a long time. Follow along as I try to get it running and into the garage before another winter sets in.

    Huge inspiration for me to build my coupe! I must have went through the old website 1000s of times.

  7. Another sleeping beauty awakens! Good job, Mart!
    Out of curiosity, how big is your garage? You seem to pack a lot into it.

    Thanks for all the replies, fellas.
    The video has proved popular. Lots of people must remember the car from the early days of hot rod internet content.

  11. I’ve loved this thing since you first put it together. Glad to see it back on the wrong side of the road.
