Hot Rods Women Mechanics and Hot rodders???

Photo shop.

 

The shop isn't my girls favorite place to be, but occasionally she will jump in and get dirty!

 

I've seen this chick on You Tube and she is nothing short of amazing, and not just with cars.

keep putting fear in all Honda boys my 2 year old girl already loves hot rods i hope she says with it

 

Maybe it was a bracket race?

Too funny!

I've never met a girl into hot rods or cars in general... But what do I know I hardly meet girls...

 

Do what makes you happy and fuck what the others think about it. Its your happiness, not theirs. Thats whats wrong with society today, to many people worry about what Joe Blow thinks about what I'm doing. Screw what ever anyone else thinks about what you do that makes you happy.

 

i bet your mother would wring your ear, flying f-bombs to a woman.

 

Did you ever hear of Kim Lahay (i hope i spelt her name right), Top Fuel mechanic of the highest caliber in a very, very limited field. I believe she married Tim Richards.
How about the legendary Allison Lee, she was tuning Top Fuel World Chmpionship dragsters in the 60's.

 

My first "Steady" girlfriend liked to work on cars, since she was 15.
Unfortunately, she liked to do other thing too, when I was in Nam'.
Who's Dear John?

 

My wife changed a water pumpm on a Buick when she was 6 months pregnant with our son

 

Her roadster is awesome. If I'm not mistaken, looks like she's got a Caddy motor in it....nice. *Must take a lot to keep that thing straight.

 

My daughter is into hotrods and has a cool 51 Henry J. Check her out here on the HAMB. She goes by TRIX SAUM

My better half has been around cars since her grandpa and dad sat her on ther fender while they worked on theirs, she ran a 40 Ford coup coined Powder puff racing in the 60's up at Milan.

Our only difference is she is Chevy I am Ford. Although I own a GMC rod.

WHile we race, she can tell me if I am runnin lean or rich, or if my timing is off by listening to my pass from the side.

I think its cool

I think it fine, so long as it's not my wife. I go to the garage for my time, to get away from it all. ( including the the wife. ) thankfully I found a woman that wants nothing to do with my hobby. She wouldn't go to a car show if I paid her. She says that's guys time out. God I love her.

 

Wait just a minute!!!!! This isn't traditional, they never built cars low on the ground back in the day!!! LOL!!! I love it!!!

 

While now actually 'wrenching' my om drive my dad's race car back in the '60's. She won the meet while she was 6 months pregnant with me.

Two things I love are women and cars. And if they get along all the better.

 

I love to see women involved in mens sports.I need to find one.

 

I think I have had a girlfriend or two like that, and i've had a dear john letter before too, opened it on april fools day 1976, just before leaving yugoslavia while aboard uss saratoga for 35 days at sea, we were on a bicentennial cruise around the mediterranean

 

interesting photo, consider in the foreground you have this bitchen roadster, and in the background you have this modern euro sports thingy,,

 

looks better without the modern stuff goin on in the background,,*yes?

 

My wife doesn't wrench, but she does enjoy a cruise...

Ohh and wearing her HAMB shirt...

 

Nice T !!!!!!

 

Are the wheels supposed to be like that or is it your wife? Either way, very nice!

 

For the novice, I think that H.A.M.B. tee shirt is a great demonstration of negative camber and toe out. Still one lovely ride. I enjoy seeing women in the garage and involved in the sport. Would be a very dull world without them.

 

My youngest Daughter worked at my shop in High School & Collage she changed tires valve cover gaskets. Had no problem cleaning parts in the solvent tank. She also drove a Drag Car for 3 Years.

I had my oldest Grand Daughter changing Disc Brake Pads at 11 years old.
