    I wish I had your username. Seriously though, this had potential to be the best thread on the HAMB. Hope he keeps it up.

    He has pulled himself away to other projects before. Then he seems to come back hitting it harder than ever with equal amounts of tenacious cool fabrication and humor.

    Panheads, Knucks, Shovels or even a 45 will never be crap.

    I'll have to give a proper update some time soon. I didn't accomplish much, honestly.

    I did stash a '29 roadster in my laundry room today. So that's something.

    Those body panels don’t look to good. No bullet holes or wrinkles to hit with hammers. Not to mention a complete deck lid. Where’s the fun in that?

    It's not nearly stupid enough for me, I'd be in danger of having a complete car waaay too easily. That's why I'm gonna use it to hold blankets for a while. There are a few bullet holes to fix, thankfully.

    I have my '33 Plymouth grill and hood, and a 35 Buick grill and hood snuggled in the other corner of the laundry room. Only the classiest of home decor for me.

    That shadowbox on the kitchen wall is the coolest thing I've seen in this thread!

    "I did stash a '29 roadster in my laundry room today."

    Only on the HAMB. LOL

    Although, I did live with a family in the 70s who were bikers. They had a complete, disassembled Harley stashed in the bedroom and a big long red and chrome Triumph chopper displayed proudly in the dining room.

    I like it.
    I'm gonna have to bring some parts in the house. Transmission on the dresser...
     
  21. When my uncle bought his house in Florida, there were no less than 4 fully assembled Harleys in the living room. After he moved in, he parked his Cushman scooters and Mustang mini bike in the living room.

    No progress on my 33 Plymouth yet. Saw you build a deck lid, so I decided to drive 400 miles one way and spend 900 $ for one. Which was a good choice in my opinion. Waiting for the next step on how not to build a Plymouth. I did happen to stash 3/4 of a 29 Plymouth coupe behind my garage.

    I've gotten a little bit done. I'll post something up tomorrow maybe. I've been trying to focus my energy on alcohol, books, and getting fatter.

    Very wise choice. I looked for a decklid for a few years without any luck. I would have paid $900 in a heartbeat and probably given the guy a hug. A good hug too, not one of those half-ass side hugs.

    @2deuces64 Mr Sparkle said I was suppose to give you a good hug. It was during covid time so we passed.

    I did get the bike about done. It runs, but needs proper wiring and better intake seals. I stashed it in my house garage a couple months ago so I could delude myself into thinking I'd get some work done on the coupe.
