What car did you have when you joined the HAMB?

I just noticed my HAMB join date was April, 2003...7 1/2 years! I was thinking about all the cars I've had or built since then(and all the knowledge I've gotten from everyone on here), and which one I owned when I joined the HAMB. I think it was my old '53 Chevy pickup...shaved, lowered, scalloped, stock running gear(or it may have been my ex-sport coupe roadster). Here she is, I'd be interested to see some of yours':

 

The same 32 Ford roadster that I have owned for 30 plus years

 

Kudos to that!

 

I still have the same Flathead powered 1932 Ford I had when I joined. HRP

 

had this 28 model a truck i built and drove to the la roadster shop in 2006. joined the hamb when i got back from the show. learned alot since then . sold the truck . still miss it. got to see it on the salt this speedweek

 

The same '40 Chevy convert I have owned for 30+ years

The same 30 coupe I've owned since June of 1970.

 

I had my (truly) rat 57 caddy 2drht. I loved that thing, and still do. Flat black, original white paint on the roof, slammed stock suspension, 67 eldorado black leather seats, handmande leopard print panels everywhere else. Medium ww's on red steelies, and the farmer who owned it before me threw some non-desrcipt sbc./t350 in it. It wasn't pretty under the hood, but it ran real good. I loved that thing to death, and had slowly started to fix up the crappier pieces as I drove it. After I got married my loser landlord decided to revoke my parking space, and I let it sit for a while in my parents back yard, but I couldn't bear to see it like that anymore. I sold to a dude who has continuied it along, bought a harley I never put together, and am now trying to get rid of it and buy another project. Long story long.

 

I still have the same car as well...

My '28.

 

I had the parts that would become GVs Touring 10+ years ago. Bought Zekes 54 about 18 months after I found this place, Christmas 99.

 

.......same one,



..................and since I've given Nash hot rod to my son last month,
the only one.

 

1931 Ford chopped coupe
I have had this for 2 months .

 

The same 31 tudor that I have had for 26 years. Hope to have it another 26.

 

Ive had the same three since I joined The firebird 69 and the 32 truck project and The model A roadster project .I did sell the 71 gmc sprint though and now I have all the parts for both builds and alot more knowledge since I joined ....

 

Same car, 1947 Olds convertible...Big Olds

 

Same car I have now.... An o/t '05 buttstang....

I have built seven cars since I have been here, but this old girl will NEVER leave my side.



-Abone.

ps I stole this pic from nmsandrail.

 

this one brought me to the HAMB




And it is still as much fun as the first day

 

Cool to see how many of you have had the same cars for as long as you have...I really do miss my AV8 roadster.

 

Same one I have now............

 

That is one very beautiful car,love the full fender look and those big headlights are so cool,oh don't forget the bumpers,just perfect.
The other car that screamed out at me is that '47 Olds convert.so I will gladly have them posted down to me please.

 

Same car I've owned since 1977...I don't change cars that often...

this

 

1954 Chevy 150. Still own it....but it's been sitting in an impound lot for over a year now.

 

I had this '48 Chevy p/u that I built. Sold it a couple years later. I regret selling it to this day! My Essex is cool, but that '48 was the first and only ground-up build I've ever done, and it was a fantastic long distance cruiser.

 

39 ford, T bucket, 64 f-100. the 39 and the truck are gone now but about 6 months after joining the hamb is when i started building my model A

 

My 56 Chevy and 51 Merc.I still have them both.

 

This 1953 Oldsmobile 2dr post. My first car. Was my Grandpa and I's project..Never got alot done. Sold it to a young guy that works at a resto shop. No front suspension, seats, engine, etc. We replaced rusty floorboards, and filled some trim holes. and sanded it.

 

came here without a hamb friendly car, picked up my chevy in 2003. I still have it but its seen better days and is on the back burner for a rebuild.
