Thanks for the pictures. Yes, that’s a close fit for sure. Setting it back a couple inches does look to address that. Thanks! Sent from my...
I know, right? Well...a couple of issues. First, it’s July in South Louisiana and absolutely stifling to be in the garage without A/C. Also...
Ya, bummer. BC is a hecka long ways from here. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
We’ve got the engine out now. Front crossmember is in bad shape around the motor mounts. Restorable I suppose, though I’m going to post a want...
Got the fuel tank pulled. Got a pretty good dent in the bottom. I’m planning on an aftermarket stainless tank. Would there be any value in this...
Wow! That’s a great looking car! Congratulations on making the cover...and thanks for teaching me as I’m just a young pup! Sent from my iPhone...
Was scratching my head about the one sided door lock...at first wondering if it wasn’t an original door or something [emoji23]. Thinking I’ll...
Thanks for the history! How was exiting on the passenger side considered unsafe? Wouldn’t this be the curb side and the driver side would be...
[IMG][ATTACH] Question. Actually two questions. First, why is there a key lock on the passenger door, but not on the driver door? Second, it...
Ya, you are right. The outer rail isn’t even worth considering for repair. Where the running board gap was to the body created the perfect haven...
Was it the flanges that needed heated and formed more, or was it more significant issues like overall flatness of the rail, or incorrect upkick...
Thanks for that offer. I was able to track down a full firewall last week and get it purchased. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thanks for the lead on American Stamping. That gives me a chance to search some member feedback on which rails people have preferred. Have you...
Fair enough. I’ll separate the inner/outer rails and see how that mating surface looks and make a post-blast evaluation of the cross members....
[ATTACH] Looking for feedback. Here’s the right side frame rail. You can see the rust is severe right under where the doors had been. This...
Wow! Sorry to hear about the hand injury. Thanks for sharing the caution and ideas for a broader footprint. I do have wood spanning the width...
Yes, that’s the plan. Unfortunately, the DMV is still closed due to COVID-19. I was able to find the 2nd stamped serial number on the frame,...
The body is off! Getting closer to the point of being able to build it back up. Looking forward to having parts media blasted and stop having a...
Starting the removal[ATTACH] of the “kustom” tin top from the ‘34 Sedan. By the end of this, he should have a permanent remembrance of “righty...
I’ve not been sure of 8BA dimensions compared to what came stock. Really don’t want to have to modify the firewall, particularly since I’m going...
Thanks for the history! Never knew that about the roadster and phaeton. Yes, the sedan has wood in the “a” and “b” pillars, then for the...
I have a ‘34 Sedan but don’t have any wood in the doors. Was the wood in the doors specific to how the roadster doors were built? Sent from...
Ya, well with this year going as it is...some days I’m not sure what day or year it is! [emoji1] Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
That’s awesome! Validated by two people! Thanks a ton. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Hoping maybe one of you savvy HAMBERS could tell me what year this would be? I’m only good enough to place it between 1928-1932. It belonged to...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Can anyone tell me if installing a blown 8BA motor in my '34 would require a firewall modification? Given how tight the...
Looks like a rolling tomb with that chop! Great old pic! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thanks. It will be the last thing I do, if I do it. I’ll get floor pans, firewall, and repair sections replaced while I think on the chop. I...
Anyone have details on this car? Curious about year it was built. Also, is that roof filled and louvered? Sent from my iPhone using The...
A couple of perspectives well stated to my original intent. Really appreciate the pictures, perspective, and experience everyone has shared. Too...
