Here's my newest tri-five. Maybe this post won't get axed ...(I seem to be on a hot streak) Haha[ATTACH]
So it only took me two weeks to get the numbers on this rear axle.....but I've finally got some hard figures! The WMS to WMS is 61.5" total....
This is it. This is what I'm after.....I love that simple look, with just the right touch of chrome. Now to get that rear end measured. The...
That's awesome! Shazaam! These rear fenders are glass (the only fiberglass on the whole truck) - so with my skills, the new wheels have GOT to...
I really love this truck - belonged to a member here....but I can't recall exactly who's it was. That simple wheel with chrome centers and trim...
So I picked up this little honey not too long ago....but she's in dire need of wheels and tires. Not only are the wheels dated, but the tires are...
That's something I've not thought of. Perhaps it can simply be galvanized a second time, and then it would work perfectly for my needs. Great...
Will that flaking continue forever? Or can I pressure wash/sand blast it to a stable edge?
Well Budget, I will humbly concede to your knowledge. You have not only given me a lesson in metallurgy, you did it patiently while I did my...
So - the top part of the tank would be visible. Sitting sideways behind my rear seat, you'd be able to look in and see the rivets, the patina'd...
I'll see if I can't get the innards of this old tank pressure washed today and snap a few pics. Not much of a "window" to see into this bad...
That's a great idea, actually. I don't know of any tanks for sale...but I've not looked. Good thinking.
You are correct there - no baffles at all.
Is there any way to confirm that it is in fact galvanized?
Ahh - OK. Even if it's not flaky now....it's just a matter of time before it IS flaky? That what you're saying? Even if I do the whole "KBS...
So - a few things: it's definitely heavy. Way heavy. Not fun to move around! Haha. I'm not looking forward to coating it, rolling it back and...
So the PO on my project handed me a sweet hot water tank that has already had some nice mods done to it, and I'd love to use it for my current...
I appreciate the specifics of this message; that's the "nuts and bolts" of what makes this car a fringe player. Those are the things that help me...
So - can this car and it's evolution back to a road-worthy vehicle be a part of the HAMB family? It's in a funky state....but can it live here?...
One more question: If this isn't the absolutely best forum for this sort of project, where would you send me? I'm all ears... Sent from my...
Speak to me candidly here... Does this car not belong here? Am I in the wrong place? The wrong forum? Several posts about this project have...
Hello all - I've been lingering at the edges for quite a while here....but I'm diving in full-force with a new project. Wanted to get things...
Hey - thank you. It's really a good time, to be honest. So many days you just want to pull your hair out (what's left of it!), but then you...
Here's a few pics of the boys in action; this is working on the smaller of the two go carts - an early model Carter Brothers, with a 5hp Tecumseh....
Whoops! My bad! Thanks for the heads up....I appreciate it!
Not necessarily a hot rod thread - but most definitely a "resurrect it/build it" thread! Long story short, a group of my students and I have...
I called and wrestled with a Guatemalan UPS phone rep for half an hour....and never got signed up for any discount. He had no idea...

Goodguys magazines - free. You cover postage. These are older, but still the cool classy periodical that you'd expect. Hate to toss 'em out....
Make me an offer. I need the space and money. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
