I can't even imagine what further looks like????

 

Danny,
I'm speachless.... Do you have any before shots of the car? Absolute perfection!

There was a glass B-400 body available in England in the 80's.
Not sure if it was Ravon, for sure it wasn't 34 Corner/Rodline.
There was yellow (real 80's) one on the cover of Street Machine
magazine around 1987 ?

 

Here's a few examples, beware various build styles, not all HAMB style. Danny, that is a very fine example, you guys sure build the best!

 

The "Mystery Car" built by Boyd Coddington and designed by Thom Taylor. All-Steel Street Rod. L-98 V-8 powered with Turbo 350 transmission.

 

you sure did,sorry i miss read

 

I will always have a soft spot for this one, and I happen to love those wheels.

I delivered this car to this spot in Wendover. I spent many hours checking the straps on this and the two other cars that were in the trailer. Doug Cooper and Alan Johnson created two beautiful cars with this one and Alan's roadster. When I would turn on the lights in the trailer, in the middle of the night, I swear this one would talk to me.
Before we get the usual trailer crap, we had to trailer to meet the schedule of Louisville, Bonneville, Italian Concours in Monterey. and Goodguys in Pleasanton.

 

Were these at Medicine Bow in Montana?

 

??????????schedule? What kind of hot rod can't keep up with a truck pulling a trailer?Mine passes em all the time.

 

the B-400 has always been my fav Fords. that is a beautiful car...and the maroon paint is kind of what Im looking for my car.

 

WOW! that's one beautiful B-400, thanks for posting the detail shots.

 

the car was a very nice restored car out of california. the customer had to work hard to get it, and it WAS NOT CHEAP.

i'll see if i can get some before pictures.

glad all of you like the car. it's one of my faves.

-danny

 

What a truly beautiful car.
Bruce, PLEASE find out the who makes that maroon paint - name, color code, etc-and let HAMBERS know. I would love to paint my car that color. Is it enamel, BCCC, lacquer.
Thanks for p.osting

 

Thats not the one i was thinking of. The guy that had it built name is Don and all he has ever had as far back as i can remember is 32 Fords, hell he has a 32 ford bus ( it was at pistons & paint ) now along with god knows how many cars. He has or had so many they just called him Mr 32.

 

There's one that shows up now and then here in Lake Havasu City AZ Its real dark Blue or black with a Flattie, alum heads. I'm not sure if he's local or not

 

don smith is who you are thinking about.

-danny

 

TTT - because it's an awsome car.


And because, so far, Ken hasn't scratched it.


Only kidding.

 

No scratches, and all work is complete. Whew!

 

That car is a new level of cool. It's just one of those vehicles I want to sit and admire.

 

we had a b400 in the last shop i worked in. the owner was the local 32 '' guru. we did the paint and bodywork, and sent it on it's way. then we got to work on his vicky.
but there's another old timer that has an a400. pretty original, with a couple old speed parts on it. he shows up at the local cruises a couple times a year.

 

I feel really honored for Bruce and Danny to let me work on this car. I am always careful when working on customers cars, but with this one I was extra nervous.
