Yep, that's the H.A.M.B.

 

lol...

 

Nice to hear a good story. Congrats.

 

thanks been trying to track down a frame for about 6 months

 

That's great. When you can get your parts for reasonable prices from reasonable people, it helps to make the build a good experience...shades of the distant past when hot rodders used to trade and share a lot more, 'cause the parts were inexpensive. Good luck with your hot rod! - Rick

 

thanks he also had a bunch of cool cars and parts he told me to make him a list and he will let me knwo what he has ..he has abunch of flat head stuff but no motors and there hard to get over here ...so i cant go that route ..

 

You lucky so-and-so! I have been half looking for a salvageable Model A frame for a project. Congratulations!!!

 

Gotta love those "Bobs",hahaha!!!!

 

yea he was a cool guy ..i couldnt talk to long i was feezing outside his place so i told him i talk another time he said he was working on a 32 5 window tradditional ...didnt see it though didnt wanna ask to see it and be rude ya know..

 

Model A frames are hard to find in your area? scullboy lives in your area of the country, and when I was talking with him a while back, he mentioned that model A cars themselves are difficult to find around there. I wonder why that is? I live in Michigan in the "thumb", and they aren't too hard to find...engines, frames, cars. Maybe 'cause they were made here? I mean, they don't grow on trees, but you can find them. Then again, I know a couple of guys. Just wondered. - Rick

 

I imagine he wouldn't have thought you were rude to want to see his coupe.
