I must admit to being extremely fortunate in the car hobby in general, in all venues; swap meets, classifieds, forums like this one, etc. I think...
Oops. Forgot the Buick 322 Nailhead. Sent from my SM-T377V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I consider myself an equal opportunity hot rodder. Engines in my shop right now, not necessarily installed in cars. And in no particular order:...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But finances are the reality for most of us. I have dozens of wheels, some of them brand new in their...
I started the resto of my 63 Corvette in 1978. Most mechanicals are 90% completed. Numbers matching 327/340. Not finished yet. Only been at it for...
Ditto. 75 miles for me. Would walk to a bigger street than the one I lived on to hang out at the newstand hoping to see some cool cars when the...
Blackout78666, very cool of you to take the time to recognize Duncan for going above and beyond the call. Duncan sounds like the kind of guy that...
The car is unique, and not the same, in appearance OR PRICE, as a similar Chevy or Ford. Better built, better riding, better looking. Enough said,...
If it was an LSD induced dream, maybe your suffering a relapse, and only imaging seeing that picture. Sent from my SM-T377V using The H.A.M.B....
Great video, Robert. Thanks for posting. Jim Sent from my SM-T377V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I picked up an early Corvair last summer, presumably a parts car , but that's another story. I have a Big Tex car trailer with a 6,500 lb Warn...
I am a hot rodder, custom car owner and project affecionado. But every now and then you come across something that has such pedigree you just...
Cody, I look forward to seeing your progress. Nice job. Don't be quick to scrap the stock parts you are not using. There are people restoring...
TANNERLANG, a neat shop is a sign of a sick mind. LOL. Seriously, sign man, a nice shop. Jim Sent from my SM-T377V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Not knowing you or your customer, I venture to say you may be both embarking on a high likelihood of potential dissatisfaction. He needs to be a...
Congrats Bruce. I'm sure you're looking forward to getting it "on down the road". Jim Sent from my SM-T377V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Actually you can get a dead man to sign, but you need to help him hold the pen. Really much harder when they've been cremated though. Sent from...
One of his books, don't remember which, was the first book I read cover to cover. I remember it being a cold night in our apartment in the Bronx,...
I owned two 40 Chevrolet coupes. Ten years ago I was searching for a body to put on a cherry frame that was under a Car Craft cover car. That's...
I agree with 302 GMC. Buy the best you can afford and Master Crafts IMO are not them. Their only good for rolling your car in to or around the...
I also recall my first new car, a 72 Nova SS. It was a non factory air car. After a couple of summers on the Cross Bronx Expressway I decided it...
I sold an original 28 Model A a couple of months back. In the paperwork I had received from the prior owner was a Sears receipt from 1955 for a...

Jalopy Joker thanks for posting all those pics. Is Turlock a once a year, one day event? Jim Sent from my SM-T377V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I've been to Pomona only once, about 6 years ago. Not sure I would go back, especially from NY. Turlock looks better. Is it just auto, or other...
I put them all on my calendar. I think it just became my vacation plan. Sent from my SM-T377V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your...
A friend of mine, long since departed, would frequently say "T T T". He was a cranky old Codger. I finally asked him, what does T T T mean? He...
I rent a shop with one garage door, into which I can store 8 cars. Creatively squeezed in, either driven, or bulled in on vehicle dollies. (I have...
That's the point about building vs. buying. Anyone care to guess what it would cost to refurbish the chrome and stainless on that '58 Super 88?...
