    I made a comment the other day about the old HAMB. I didn't think much about it at the time but things changed today.
    I dug through some old DVD's and found THE CAR THAT ATE MY BRAIN. Between 2008 and 2010, there were some really creative guys that hung out here...…..one that stuck out was Piero DeLuca that did all the Mad Fabricator's Society films. Another was a guy named Von Fanco who build the Kookie Car clone. Also featuring Mark Skipper ………( took me 12 years to connect that name ).
    What a great little film. The complete history of Norm Grabowsli's cad powered Model T . Also the history of Von Franco's obsession with the car. I had forgotten how well the film had been done...………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    For anyone who joined the HAMB after about 2012, this is truly a must see ! Do a google Search on Mad Fabricators and get some great films with a bunch of HAMB guys in every film. Maybe this will get you going

    :rolleyes:...that was a cool bit of Hotrod film no question about it @hrm2k. The Membership and Talent base around here is ever evolving...Many have come and gone. Some return briefly...some longer...it is what we make it really. Ryan with his Team provide us with the Platform and we provide the content...

    I still feel amongst a very diverse range of talented Hoodlums...;)

    Like you I am in awe of the incredible amount of subject matter that has been already offered by members we don't hear from very often anymore...so I'll see what I can dig up...

    yeps, Norm's little car made a big splash across the screen that was, and is, Winfield & Watson Gathering-Mojave 173 (Small).jpg embedded in the brains of many - he certainly had the right ride in the right place at the right time - Norm sure left his mark on the world - such a good looking guy should have been a leading man

  7. Great stuff, everyone! Yes, things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much. I still enjoy hanging out here and the company of some really good folks.............Don.

    More Mad Fabricator's featuring Hamber @bobbleed and I suspect a large contingent of Other Hambers being...well Talented Hoodlums that they are...

    :rolleyes:...Here is some interesting Video courtesy of Hamber @SUHRsc ...it gives a great perspective on the vintage dirt jalopy racing back in the day...Obviously a toned down version of the real deal but not lacking on the thrill and feel and even some of the danger that those Hotrodders back in the day faced.
