History What car or truck did you have when you joined the HAMB?

Joined early 2017. Got my BNGR (avatar) 10 years back. '30 pu/flatbed. Driven every year, upgraded a little at a time.

 

Acquired this, 1940 Plymouth PT105, found the HAMB and joined. Restoration starts this fall.

My 37, lurked for awhile before I joined. Drove it 15 years, now resides in Michigan.

 

^^^^^That is one sweet '37. It had to be tough letting that one go down the road.^^^^

 

Lurked on and off for many years, mostly to follow the adventures of Squirrel.

1962, dechromed (holes not filled), spun aluminum wheel covers (with screws), disk brake conversion uses pre-1965 parts. Some of the hidden details are off-topic, personal finances and the notion that "Traditional hot rodding" involves flouting tradition..., comes to play.

Looking thru the HAMB, the Volvo PV-544 posts sometimes survive the period correct police. The hot rod sports car thread survives, as well as some posts by Squirrel.

Near as I can figure out, "Off-topic complaints" depend on if the prunes are working today...

It puts a smile on my face, "HAMB acceptance" is optional.

p.s. The location is Erie Street, in Lowell district of Bisbee, AZ. A real HAMB friendly location.

The F100 is still local but unrecognisable & the Olds is in Melbourne & also looks nothing like it did Al.

 

Started with this and had a build thread on it "Granny to Gasser"https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/lil-chevy-ii-granny-to-gasser-build.502355/

 

48 Plymouth coupe with "hot rodded" 57 230 flathead six with an R10 overdrive.

 

Ah ok,Geez you had the 50 Olds for what seems to be about 20 years?It's a shame to sell them though heyDidn't you have a 46 Olds also?Is that the new project?

It's missing the "dingle balls!

 

No that's long gone to Al

 

'04-'05
Not sure where it ended up, life had its way with me back then. Saw this posted a while back don't know if it's the same one though visor looks similar. . .not the direction I was going.

 

I had 28-29 crusty AA cab. Turned to be more than I could handle and sold it to have a better starting point. I started building a 32 chassis this spring.

 

29 Ford roadster with nailhead, chopped 51 Merc, chopped 39/40 Ford tub

 

Sure wished I had this one back! But I was building it when I joined the HAMB...
Since the HAMB DRAGS was this past weekend here are a few shots of it from the 2012 HAMB DRAGS.

 

64 Bonneville, 462, 4 speed hydro...

 

15+ years on the road before I sold it in 2012.

 

I was driving a '78 Mustang II Rallye, factory V8 four speed with T-tops and had just bought a 1952 Plymouth Cambridge 4dr. Had no idea how anything was supposed to work on a 6v, positive ground, master cylinder under the floor, but had it all figured out pretty quickly here. MII is gone, Cambridge is gone, Falcons are gone....

 

Same one I have now..... A 2005 Ford drop top..

 

I had a '65 Galaxie daily driver, and a '53 F 100 project. Don't have a single pic of either.

 

The '57 has been with me since my 'teen years.
Eww, radials & street rod wheels! Still had a 'glass tilt front end. Such a long way to go at that point.

 

Just the 48 that I have had since March of 73 except for about a year and a half gap in the mid 70s when I sold it because I wanted a 55/56 Big window and ended up with a 57 panel. Traded the panel back for the 48 after driving it for a while.

 

55 ford 2 dr wagon 56 ford long bed. 55 chev 2 dr wagon. 2 64 fairlane htps. A large number of 60 thru 66 chevy trucks. And I still have them. I sold my 66 GMC shortbed daily a couple weeks ago. Ive bought sold traded & junked a couple hundred vehicles in the last ten years. most weren't HAMB applicable. Bought and sold a 53 buick straight 8 four door, A 57 chev 6 cyl shortbed Pk. A 55 GMC V8 short bed. A 58 chev 6 cylshort bed. bought and sold 4 57 chevy 4 door parts cars. Bought and sold a 35 ford Pk.

 

My H.A.M.B. namesake car 38 Chevy 2dr sedan with 454. Still have it. Also had a 37 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup, sold about 15 years ago. Been through several other over the years

 

I also had this 56 Chevy and 29 Model A roadster.

 

I still have the 41 olds i had when i joined but the roadster and the pickup are gone. But now have added a 51 merc and a model a coupe.

 

The only one I still have is my merc.

 

I joined when I purchased my first real street rod, 39 Pontiac. I still have it and will never get rid of it. Though it defiantly didn't look like this when I bought it. lots of B.S.T.
