Hot Rods Most memorable hamb builds?

CadMad's Packard is the current one that comes to mind, but I also like Doctor Bad-Meat's giant speedster

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/seagrave-531-v12-special-build-up-in-brazil.1163715/

and ClarkH's speedster in the weeds

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/a-speedster-comes-out-of-the-weeds—build-thread.1003005/

There's a lot of other really great stuff out there too but these two were the first that came to mind.

The most impressive part of the good threads is that the builder remembered to stop and take pictures and share/update them. I've always been terrible at that.

 

Another one for me would be Brian Bass' Hemi Model A coupe on '32 rails. Photo Credit - Brian Bass

 

Cody Wall and his 59 Chev wagon stands out to me. Just amazing skills and vision.

 

IDE say my son Brooks who go’s by green blade here on the H.A.M.B. ‘63 rambler classic(my first build)

 

Can we have more than one.
Danny Burroughs' deuce coupe.




My kind of traditional, for the chassis gearheads among us.

The 409 Chevy ll super/stock wagon build by Fuelaltereds4life was another good one

Here are a few current build threads i think should be here

Brewsir’s Mercury sedan to convertible sedan was really cool

 

50Fraud's 40 convert.

 

Squirrel and his 'Cuda altered wheelbase.

 

Skoty Chops did some pretty nice work on a 1935 Plymouth, that thread made it obvious that time on the hamb was well spent.

 

The junk that Jim Sibley started with has always left me in awe. The skills shown on this and many other builds here
leave me ashamed of my poor efforts.

This was not finished,,,,but it is my most memorable build.

 

Bass's Chevy Fleetline sticks out to me, even though it hasn't been finished to the best of my knowledge. I'd love to get my hands on that car if it's ever available.

 

That's funny, I thought your builds were pretty amazing.

 

Its too early in the morning to remember names, but the ElCamino custom in Florida (Nads)and the Fury convertible spliced together from the barest of remains (BigM). Oh and there are 2 different 40 coups spliced together from bits, one of them burned. Oh and the guy in Nova Scotia with the 48 custom.
The talent and determination of guys that piece these projects together is awesome.

 

I enjoy @flamedabone 's threads. He always seems to be turning junk into bad ass cars.

Here are just a few, there are many others.

 

The most interesting for me was the I’m building a steam powered model A by wafflemaster. Unfortunately most of the pics are gone. Incredible skills and he handled the “you’ll shoot your eye out” guys with class.

 

And this one,,,,https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1957-chrysler-mild-custom.1093148/

 

What about El Mosquito?

 

I always liked SamIyam's roadster. It was straightforward, but well-executed...and then it evolved into more of an adventure and we got to go along for the ride.

Any of Bass' builds. The fabrication there was amazing.

I watched Paul's T really closely.

So many more.

I hope we can update the build index as a result of the this thread.

 

Entertaining at least.

 

I love em all! The good, the bad, and the ugly. Thats why I'm here.

 

You’re joking right?

Heck, half the hamb has no clue….

 

@Roothawg - a memorable target of early HAMB cruelty.

...but it reminds me of another superior insect build - what about your Drag-N-Fly?!?!

A great example of the HAMB at its best.

 

I have to agree with you , Jeff has done some amazing builds starting with most of us would walk right by! HRP

 

Cory Taulbert's 33 Coupe. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/33-5w-build-thread.1127212/page-20#post-14326178

 

These fellas both have several epic build threads, but I'm trying to limit myself to just a few.

@Kiwi Kev Nasty Habit Willys



@Bass Model A Roadster
@Bass 1949 Chevy

 

Hard to leave out @HomemadeHardtop57 ‘s great builds. Also @craftyB works of art.
