Pending - Ben in France.
New price - $12,500!
Lots of interest both here and local, but no money yet. Price is OBO, just looking to free up what I have in it to cover some family expenses.
1953 Buick Special Deluxe Two-Door Sedan 50s Mild Custom Survivor Original straight 8 engine with fresh tuneup and fluids. Runs great with good...
Thanks vdubluv. I was in a rush to close up the shop and get home, but managed to take a couple pics of one frame rail. Made a set of formed...
Sweet, thank you. I was planning on around 3" grill chop - bobbed frame horns and only grill out front. Looks like 2-3" will be dead on. So much...
Floor looks awesome. Shame no one will be able to see it once done. Great work. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
That is far too crazy. I've only heard of a few other Rorys in Reno, and not for years. I found your build thread on hear a couple months back...
I wish I had a Zephyr to cut up, bad ass little truck!
So parts of this project are heading a little OT... I'll keep that content to a minimum, and stick to HAMB-centric updates. Engine came in last...
I started reading this thread months ago and lost it after getting to where you moved into the second shop, glad I found it again, amazing work!...
Thanks. Looks good - almost square but a little stagger. Just what I was looking for to throw on my '35 wires. Posted using the Full Custom...
I may have missed it if you mentioned, but what tire sizes are you running? Looks like it may be just the combination I need for my pickup....
Thanks, hopefully it turns out holding that position. Some big shoes to fill though. And really liking the metallic steel/gunmetal blue. Been...
Got the front sweep pretty far today. I think I'll bring it down a little more then see where it's at with the cab, suspension, and engine in...
Awesome build and fab work, looking good!
To be honest, I've seen more of the trucks in the last couple days (online) than I have in the last few years. I've had only a few to work from to...
I've already fallen down that rabbit hole.... That's why this time I decided I need to run air - looks and driveability. Bought the engine for...
Awesome work Frenchy. Coming along nicely. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Just read through this as well, very impressive work. So much talent and skill. This is going to be one hell of a hot rod!
Thanks for the input, and link to article on Rudy's truck. Because I've been living under a rock, I've never seen it before. Sweet little truck....
The Ashcroft truck has been very inspirational - one of three that have gotten me to where I'm at with plans. The one thing I'm not a fan of with...
It had a good look, can't blame a guy with cash for wanting it. The grill could have come down a couple inches, but still a lot better than most...
Yep - the only decent profile shot of a 35-37 truck I could find. Since all I had to work with on my project was a cab, couldn't take a pic of it...
Awesome, amazing, inspirational work. You are a metal craftsman for sure!
It's higher in the aired-out mockup than some of my previous static drivers, but I'm getting old. It's a hell of a lot closer than a 20' stick...
It is, I noted in my original wall of text that the front sweep is coming. Front should be swept up this weekend. Front sweep to follow profile of...
lol 5'9. And at 7" chop, it's only an inch over most 35-36s that I've come across. Main reason to drop it a hair more was to make it flow a bit...
Awesome looking chassis so far! Love the frame jig too, keeps the frame work straight and true.
Amazing find, congrats! Between the body/frame and a Merc'd flathead, looks like your off to a good start.
