The Hop-Up is in storage for now...getting settled into our new Central Texas home. Got the new garage floor epoxied, so I have that to look...
And the hits keep coming. This is why we can't have nice things. -closed-
Let's lay off the politics, fellas.
And you wonder why it got shut down? Add this one to the list...
Bumpitty bump
Traditional hot rods & customs...all else is up to moderator discretion. It's been this way for many moons. COE's/big trucks/step vans are...
BTT - New Price $300
Guys, we've had at least a half dozen posts featuring non HAMB-friendly rides...let's keep it focused. If you aren't familiar with the rules,...
Haha! Sometimes I feel like doing just that :) We're in the middle of a job transfer and move to Central Tejas, so everything's ground to a...
Nice '34 Dodge Cluster (prettiest one I've seen) Bourdon tube still intact for Temp gauge, but the gauge does not register (easy fix for a...
Yup, drama, hand-wringing, ranting, pretty much zero content germane to traditional hot rods & customs...these sort of "where are all the hot rod"...
Yessir! Step 1: Click on the user account icon (the human silhouette); it's the 4th ribbon from the left, underneath the link to the HAMB store....
Put a banger in it!
Holler at me when you get to building...I'd be happy to help!
God love you, Joey for bringing up the beloved T... They are impractical...they are cramped...they are simple...they come from a time bereft of...
Does that say crawfish? I'm in for some mudbug!!
It is confusing and the phrase can (and is) used that way, but I think the name 'taffy pull' actually comes from the method more than anything;...
Thanks for the opportunity to clarify; unfortunately, some of these terms have been bastardized and/or are used interchangeably. "Dago" is a term...
I respectfully disagree, unless backyard involves a 100-200 ton trip hammer (that's what makes the web so 'squished' looking). This method was...
Thanks...I'll end up spot welding those shackle plates to make sure they stay put. I have to admit, this isn't my idea; I stole it from the pics...
Heat & bend the arm, don't cut the perch pins. Mechanical brakes will work fine; you just need to extend the actuator mount on top. I'm using a...
I've seen some pretty crude dropped axles that were all over the place in terms of straightness and camber...I sent my Dago to Okie Joe for...
Here are a couple examples from @woodiemike's "Lakes Pictures P.R.C." thread; First up is the McNatt/Welsh 25 T...here the shock stud is welded...
Why is it that the same few guys always end up in a pissing contest? I see a time out in some of your futures....but for now, this thread is...
Take a gander at 39-50-ish MoPar front shock studs - these bolt through the upper control arm on those applications and are plenty long enough for...
Not if you're using new/NOS/NORS parts :D
Do the vertical "legs" of the sub frame cross members sit lower than the body/rest of the sub frame? I ask because the front mount near the toe...
I've got a '34 box...you need some measurements?
Bumpitty bump for one of my favoritest builds on the H.A.M.B.
Ahhh...my mistake, I meant 'clipped corner' or 3-sided taper. The 32-early 34 spring had the clipped ends just like an A; the late 34's and all...
