    Im glad to see you taking your time and doing an awesome job! E-mail me some pics of that 30 A and that flatty you got, I am really looking forward to seeing them to. I am hoping I can have a hand in helping you build that one. Just a matter of time and Im impatient. :rolleyes: :D
     
  5. Good progress. I like the fact that your dad comments on this thread. Is he a ways away or just addicted to the HAMB?

    Hey wfoguy, thanks for the compliment. As for your question about my dad, the answer is both. We are 800 miles apart, and have to watch each others progress on the HAMB. How about that....The H.A.M.B even keeps families together. This place rocks! haha

    Are you going to run an oil cooler? I have heard they are very useful on the 500 Cad motor - ask the Caddy guys to make sure, but I know those motors put out a lot of heat. And yours looks hot!

    Thanks for the heads up! I haven't heard anything, so I will ask around. I definitely do not want any problems in that department.

  16. I like the cab. Since you asked. The scoop,carbs,intake look like intentional(ratrod) overkill. Bedside tops and Ratfink deal are kinda corny. Could be a really neat truck if you laid off the cheese a little bit, but you like it and that is all that matters right? You asked. Opinions are like assholes. Everyones got one.

    It looks BAD ASS!
     
  18. Nice chop. I´m thinking this could turn out pretty nice.
    Maybe use a different/early style of scoop though?
     
  19. Interesting build, but that track bar angle on the rear could be trouble.

    I have no problem with critisism, but I thought huge motors in small/light vehicles was called hot rodding. Shit, I've got this all wrong.

    Looks really good, I like this project a lot. Those front-mounted oil filters on those GM cars might look kind of weird hanging out there in the open. Maybe you could paint it black or the color of the engine to hide it a little bit? I don't know, to me it kind of sticks out. Maybe that won't be the case when you have a radiator and everything up there.

    Just a thought, really cool build. I'm gonna follow this one.

    Builtfercomfort, thanks for the hookup man! I appreciate you taking the time to send that to me. Temper Mental, Strange Agent, and Bear, thanks a ton for the compliment! Scrap Iron, I had the same concern about my pan hard bar. It clears with the travel, but there is a little more shift than what I'd like with the full travel of my bags, but at ride height and normal travel, it is ok. It is something I may reconfigure before she hits the road.

    Damn Danny, you have been busy. I stopped by today to check in on your ride and on John. You have worked out a lot of the little issues. It looks like you are getting closer. It looks really good.

    Thanks Stephen and Big Creep! I have done a ton since the last post. I ditched the tunnel ram, seemed to be more of a hassle then anything, not to mention the off the line power it would rob. I am just going to run the stock intake for a while, and see how that goes. I finally got all of the lines and shit ran, stripped it again, and painted the frame dark grey metallic. I repainted the cab and bed too. I didn't like how flat the paint was before. Now its a medium gloss. Looks great. I'm building the headers now, so hopefully I'll get to hear it run this week! Maybe I'll get to drive it before it gets cold again, haha. Thanks for all the compliments, I appreciate it. I'll post some pics tomorrow most likely.
