Young hambers--WHo are you n' what are you working on??

I'm 16 and working on my '48 chevy pickup, blown 292 straight six in the making, own a running 52 willys jeep, and a rusty ol' 40's chevy coupe and chrystler straight 8.

Currently driving an '88 Scottsdale, 6" lift, 35's, and a 472 big block caddy!

 

Can't really say I'm a true hamber, but in spirit I am. Have a 96, GMC that I'm bagging soon and a little lancer I just bought that I play around with. Would love to get an old 30's pickup cab and do a whole scratch-built frame and suicide front end. You know, cool stuff like that.

 

Flat black with pin striping??

Hope this gives you some inspiration:

I almost bought this Caddy. He's selling for $1500.





I'll send you a few more photos.

 

I'm only 14...but love the old stuff! I have a 1980 Ford Pickup I bought when I was 12.....and to be honest...I only bought it to "have it" and it was cheap. $250, and only spent around $5 to get it running. (Needed oil, gas, and rewire the solenoid) The guy I bought it from put so much new stuff on it too! Reese hitch, new tail lights, Sony stereo with two huge speakers behind the seat. I put a new seat cover on there. It's got a new 5 spd tranny with a 300 Inline 6. He bought a new stick shift to "hot rod" (it had 3 on the tree) It has new distributor cap and plugs, plug wires. The only thing it needs is a tailgate and a drivers side window track.

I've had people tell me I could get $1500 tops and maybe $1200 lowest. When I do sell it, it will be towards a hot rod fund. I'd really like to build a Model A hot rod based off of this http://classicroad.com/modelA/index.htm I figure that it would be the cheapest of my favorite cars to have. I'd also want a 56 Ford Fairlane, 56' Caddy, and 40' Ford coupe. But those are for when I'm older with more money.

I'm 17 and working on a budget '34 truck. And I mean budget, I've been trying to swap and get freebies to put this one together. Alls I need is a frame and I'm set for awhile.
(Anyone got any leads on a '34 frame let me know!)

 

man, when I was that age I only dreamed about cars and would ride my skateboard everywhere!

 

I'm 17 and the only project I have is an 0/t 80 Jeep Cj7. Thinking about trading the late 70's 350 for a cammed up 360.

I've been looking for a thread like this for a long time. I've posted a threa, but figured I'd post in here too.

Got a '27 Model T with a 355, 2spd, ford 9 inch rear, all steel when I was 16 with my 19 year old brother, paid cash, and paid for everything on it, except my dad gave us his tires/rims off his camaro. Paid by buying/selling things, working pressure washing, saving since a kid and not buying anything I didn't need.
Now 17 and soon about to redo the whole thing. Daily driver to school. I have a good auto body at school.




If you want to see my thread, its in my signature below. Thanks

 

My Dad gave me the 72' when I was 15 and told me to take it down to the frame and I now use it as a daily driver. I am now 18 and I just picked up the 55' last summer.

 

Hey everyone I'm 14, yes 14!! I dont have a project yet but Im looking for one this winter. Im looking to buy a station wagon or 50's chevy or ford to make into a mild custom! I hope to find something.

I thought I was young enough.. I'm 26 but not under 18.
Anyway I began @ 19 And I think I was very young.. but you guys are VERY young.

For my experience this is the best passion ever, better than stupid videogame and brain eater shit!

 

My name is Mike and I just turned 20. Here is my 1957 Mercury Monterey, soon to be fixed up as a traditional mild kustom.

 

This is the best thread I have ever read. Its great to see so many young guys are still interested in cars. Keep up the good work guys!
