    Not nearly as nice as most of the cars posted here, My first effort of building a car/hot rod from scratch with the promise to myself to do as much of the work myself.

    Needed a motor, this thing was low mileage but the floor and frame were rusted out from sitting in tall grass. Started and drove, yes in the snow.

    Got some 2x5 tube and carved up a frame:

    really? I just looked again and there are none that I can see... the rules however state clearly:

    5. As mentioned throughout these guidelines, the H.A.M.B. focuses on TRADITIONAL hot rods and customs. Posts pertaining to traditionally inspired, but not quite period perfect belong on the main forum found here. Please note that we don't focus on things such as modern fuel injected motors, big-inch wheels, frame clips, after market independent suspensions, etc... at all on the H.A.M.B.. As such, posts that stray away from the "traditional inspired" will be deleted.

    Danny, I'm just waiting for that layer of dust to turn into gold dust so I can do just that.
    By the way, I have a feeling people thought I had the before and after backwards........nope.
