Hi Folks, After mudslides, wildfires, pandemic and relocating from California to Missouri I am finally getting back to work on my custom...
Chalk another one up for the worlds slowest moving project. Job and family stuff have been conspiring against me, but I finally got moving again....
Bungking.com - used them in the past when I was too lazy to machine them Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
John Gimelli's current ride. Has a real Bailon feel to me. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
glad to see this - love this project.
Yeah, the cars and coffee thing is pretty cool. All kinds of stuff turns up in the spectator lot from Listers to rat rods to crazy exotics. The...
I live near Scotts Valley CA, which is where Canepa Design is located. They are a high end car shop that restores, services and sells speciality...
I like how this is coming together. What's the story on the front axle? Are you building that? I'd love to have more info on it.
OK, this bit took way too long. Lots of welding and grinding. It's not perfect, but it's waaaaay better than the rear bit of the studebaker...
[ATTACH] I just saw this free buck for building a pedal car - anyone in KS? http://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=18188
Right on. I want pictures!
I just re-watched Ron Covell's two videos on building a 26/27 T Roadster. One on building the buck, one on the turtledeck. The body and doors...
Which "handmade rods" threads? I'm this --><-- close to starting a scratchbuilt rod. Body and frame. I have two different designs in mind, and...
For floors I'd recommend 16 gauge, although beading 16 gauge will take more machinery than most people have in a home shop. 18 will work but I...

not a power hammer, but I recently restored my Pullmax P3. I'd really like to get the Baileigh PH28-HD! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks Pat. To be clear, the picture I posted was a CAD model, not an actual physical part. As you pointed out, the best plan is to make the...
OK, front crossmember is finished. I'm not going to weld it solid until I have it tacked into the frame and the 4-bar mounts positioned properly....
Pat or Marty -- could you share the basic dimensions of the Ingels-style nose on this car? Height/width/depth so I can get the scale right would...
Wow, congratulations!
The past couple of weeks have been pretty full of non-fun stuff. I think I'm past that, I was able to get back to work on the Stude today. I...

Wow. Who needs a time machine. That is so damn cool to see - I missed it in the background.
I used to make some parts... Then I had a bunch of them knocked off by other guys that had them duplicated overseas. What a drag that is. But I...
I just read through all 20 pages of this -- great fun! I love the central idea of a "special". Starting with an existing chassis and building a...
Cool, thanks!
This is a drawing from a monster coloring book, I did it to practice my brushwork. [ATTACH]
What if you chopped it and wedge sectioned the body, maybe 1.5 inches at the firewall tapering back to zero at the rear. That might give it a...
If I was single I'd definitely be into a converted space -- most gas stations are too small for me though. I've seen some firehouses that would...
Ditto -- none of those download links work any more.
