    I'm 19 and don't know how to work on cars....but I did do all the paint and body work on this 53 for my dad (now he has to do suspension and interior) and I had a big part in building my model a but I can't take much credit because I had a lot of help. Also done more work on off topic cars.

    Well, I was under 30 when I joined the HAMB, I am a little over that now.

    I would post pics of my "in progress" 46 Chevy, but at the risk of being called a douche building a rat....even though it's unfinished....I wont post pics.

    26, i got me a 1950 chevy pickup. Lowered, 235ci, 4 speed on the floor, 68 nova rear, and soon installing dual carbs and headers. Id post pictures, but the hamb wont let me do it off my phone, unless im just dumb..great thread, and great shots guys!
     
  5. 22 years old here, I dont have any hamb friendly cars just a late 70's 4 door and wagon, ugly but alteast they are fast ;) I do my own body work and paint, metal work and welding, engine building and tuning, I dont have a tire machine so I do bring my wheels in to get tires put on. lol

    Just saving up a bit here and there for a 48-52 Ford F1, when I pick one up I want to restore it, but not in a show quality sort of way, just in a get rid of rust and make it look half decent sort of way. We need a truck, for hauling crap and I really like the look of those Fords.

    Nothing wrong with unfinished and a little rough...unless it has shit hanging all over it and bad/unsafe welds/etc...show us the pictures....
    As I have always contended, there is a very fine line between the "R" and a Jalopy, or painted etc..
    Cheers....
    Oh, and some really great stuff on this post !! :)
    Cheers.....

    I have to agree fully, and this comes up a lot in other threads, a lot of us feel that a "Rat" (the bad kind) is an unsafe poorly built vehicle often with random crap welded to it, whereas a ratty looking, rusty or unfinished vehicle being built right (as in safe and correct methods) is a welcome thing.
    When I joined I was lectured about my 36 GMC because I figured it was a rat rod in HAMB eyes, but it doesn't qualify according to almost everyone I have ever talked to here.

    Build it safe, build for you and enjoy the hell out of it! :D

    Hey all, im 21 and I got myself this 41 chevy stepside a few months back. The plans are to get it clipped and possibly bagged within the next year or so and get her to a nice show standard, it'll take some time as finding parts for it here in the UK is a pain in the ass! :mad:

    Ive also been racing a 74 plymouth duster just this year which is my bosses car, and hope to get my first 8 second pass in it soon.

    I'm 22.
    Bought this one (OT) right out of high school. 1966 Dodge Polara. Was looking for a 58-64 Full size chevy but there were none to be found locally at the time and I came across this and had to have it. Its 1966 Dodge Polara with a 383. I've done a ton of work to it and it's almost where I want it to be.

    But then in december of 2011 I found my real "Dream" car. Didnt need a ton of body work but I did all that it needed and I just painted it in it's original color, about a month ago. It's a 62 Bel Air 4dr Sedan and I absolutely love it. Having a ton of fun with it.

    I'm 28 and have a couple in the stable and a few waiting in the eaves.

    My '38 Buick Coupe is a driver and is slowly heading toward a 1940s Taildragger vibe, hopefully it'll get there completely by next spring.

    I'm building my '62 Chevy II wagon as a driver for my lady, it was a great cruiser 'till we decided to tear into it after blowing the engine on a road trip. It should be back on the road in a couple of weeks.

    Then there's my '59 and my Dad's '58 Chevy trucks which'll probably get combined into one good truck when all is said and done...
     
  22. I'm 17 and currently working on my first car, a 1954 Pontiac Pathfinder. :D
