Art & Inspiration A picture or it didn't happen!

I don't start many threads. But I like to read the intros, of new members. I like it when they give a short description of their self. If they add a photo of their Hot ROD that's even better. So I'm wondering about some of you? Like what do you drive? and where are your from??? Maybe this has been done? or maybe not? But let's see a PICTURE of what your currently driving, or have owned, and maybe a short description of yourself. Thanks Ron.... {Kinda like this}. Hi I'm Ron, I'm from the Shenandoah valley of Va. I have a 1934 Dodge sedan delivery. I'm on the HAMB way too much. I need sleep, and thats why I'm posting this goofy thread.

 

Cripes Ron, it's 4:00 in the morning here, did you have to wake me up just for this!

 

Hi Ron, and all HAMBers, I am Ken, and live just outside of Detroit, MI. I have a 1955 Chevy that I have owned for 46 years. The first picture is from the Hines Drive cruise that a friend of mine took, and the second picture is me backing the 55 into the garage at the house we recently moved to. This house belonged to my inlaws who built the garage in 1979. When I pulled the car in, it was the first time there had ever been a car in that garage.

I am a car and plane nut from Colorado. I grew up going to car shows, junkyards, and little airports.

Now, I fly for a living in the Air Force and for an airline. My family and two jobs get in the way of car stuff but this message board is pretty solid. I wish there was a similar forum for my b & e body mopar community. However, hot rodders make good company.

I currently have a 60 Chrysler Windsor and a 70 cuda. Both bought for under $3000 as local cars. I am looking for a early 30s Chrysler, Dodge or DeSoto two door coupe eventually, a 66 Chrysler 300 convertible, and 4 door sweptline Dodge truck. Haha.

The Chrysler needs some love and will continue to be my fair weather family daily driver and the cuda is apart for paint.

 

I know that part of Hines.... I take it in to work and back home.....

 

Hey CSM, here is a link for your fill of older mopars. Welcome! http://p15-d24.com/forum/4-p15-d24-forum/

 

Thanks

 

Daniels the name, a little easier then VANDENPLAS! Lol

Was driving my 55 Buick but it’s parked due to winter and a leaky Dynaflow, on the fence with what to do with it ( tear it apart and make a BIG project outta her or fix it and drive on)
Live in Hamilton and in the process of selling the house and moving. Into cars my whole life and this site is just the perfect blend of what’s I like.

Oh and that’s not my garage it’s in front of , but I wish it was !

 

Name is don I’m from a suburb of Toledo ohio heres the children.

 

Pete from Burton, MI. Just south of Flint. I have had a handful of cool old cars but currently have a '50 Ford Custom 2 door sedan. Bought it in KY in 2011. Been on the road for over 6 yrs now.

BTW...that pic is at work...at the Chevy dealer!

 

Dan from sunny SoCal. Been around old cars entire life, brought home from Pomona Hospital in a ‘56 F100, which is still in the garage. Last pic is my current project. I’ve owned the ElCo for 25 yrs.

 

This is a great thread topic. I often wonder what kind of hot rod the guys with really off-the-wall posts actually drive...

I live in Texas and graduated from High School in 1965, which should give you an idea of my age and the era of hot rod development which so greatly influenced my taste in cars. My current daily beater - weather permitting - is this black coupester which is in its fourth incarnation since I've owned it...and it had many lives before judging by the automotive archaeology it came with. I've got three more roadsters in the works, doing all my own work including fab, bodywork and paint in my own home shop. Even though I qualify as an honest-to-god graybeard I still work for a living every day so I never have enough time to play with the hot rods as much as I'd like. Running errands in the coupester keeps me sane in the meantime.

You must have hated my intro......................................

 

"51 Shoebox, still in the garage from earlier this Summer when my wiring shot smoke out of it. Back to working on finishing the body work, ordering a wiring harness from Rebel Wire and getting it installed. Then paint next Spring before it's next reveal. My name is Chuck.

 

On it's last real road trip before the 250 got so worn out that it wouldn't start.
1998 At Bonneville. The photo was taken by a Japanese tourist as we took turns taking each other's photos with each other's cameras.
I missed Saturday and Sunday leaving home on Sunday night after having gone to the Run to Roslyn on Sunday. I got to Bonneville on Monday afternoon spent a few hours out on the salt, pitched my tent at the bend in the road and went to town and got an overpriced dinner. There might be someone on here who can tell a story about chasing my tent down on Tuesday when the wind came up in the camp ground and blew it away.
That was a great week with several days at Bonneville, leaving when the rain started on Thursday and having some guy video me coming off the salt though a small lake. After an issue with one of the alternator leads having a bad connection and allowing the battery to go dead and having to ride the Wendover shuttle bus to a shop where I could get the battery charged and getting the scenic ride back to the gas station it was on to Pleasanton for good guys. Too short a stay at Pleasanton and heading back north to home.

 

I'm sorry, I've missed a lot of the intros that's been posted on here. I didn't even do one for myself when I first joined. But I'm not shy about posting pictures of my Hot Rods. lol. I'm also a little lazy on looking up everyone's profiles, and intros. But I really Loved all the pictures, and introductions so far { So THANKS!!!!} Also sometimes it can just be an update, of what your doing now. You can never get to many pictures of H.A.M.B. HOT RODs. Ron......

 

Hi.

I'm Mike. Clarence is my 1948 Ford panel truck. I bought it in 1973 and it's currently down for the (hopefully) last rebuild. First mechanical rebuild was 1991. Top was chopped in 1992. Second mechanical rebuild was in 2016. This time around it's getting new floors, exhaust, seats, upholstery, paint, running boards, door sills, door latches, window mechanisms, gauges, steering column/wheel, a/c, brake pedal & MC, total rewiring, and who knows what else that I'm forgetting.

Next trip will be either SWMO HR100 or SK-500. It'll be Washington Blue then. If you see me please introduce yourself.

Avatar was from the first H.A.M.B. drags. Pic below was at Bonneville just before or after the turn of the century.

Steve here. Possibly the biggest tri five dork around. Ever since I was a kid, my dream car has been a '57 Chevy. Had mine since 1985 and been at it ever since. Like Dreyfus in Close Encounters, driven to build the vision in my head.


Ron, this better not be a 12 step program. Because I don't have a problem. Really. Well, maybe a little one.

 

Hi, I'm Frank... in more ways than just a name And I'm a 19 year kid old stuck in a much older chassis..

..Everybody's probably sick of seeing my car by now, but screw em'. Lol. Here is an hour ago, I'm babysitting a burn pile so my friend could go to 2nd shift job. The road ahead is Nathan Hale Rd, where he lived before he was hanged by the British as a spy 1776 for George Washington's Continental army. I'm kind of a patriotic person, and just missed a pic of a genuine American Bald Eagle sitting in a big tree at my home.

How'd I do with THIS "off the wall post"?

 

my user name describes my life, I am Steve, retired from the Omaha 911 center in 2003 after 25 years, most on the busy midnight shift, just recently moved to the Denver area. my retirement project was what I would have built my 1st 40 standard tudor like if I hadnt sold it in 1972. the yellow one is the 1st one, black one is my retirement project, current ride.

one is my finished ride, completed in 2015

 

The '40 Ford has the most beautiful front end. Made for flames. Few other vehicles can pull it off as well.

 

Hi, my name is Richard, and I'm a HAMBaholic.....

I gots 2 cars now:

The 1930 closed cab pickup in my avatar (this shot at Fairplex Raceway in Pomona at the GNRS earlier this year). It's my project car, still a work in progress.


And my 47 coupe:

Which is not exactly finished yet either, but much further along than the pickup.

 

I'm LeRoy, got two.....my 36 started life as a fire truck at an airport, my 27 is a mix of parts.

 

Hi all, I'm eclectic..

 

Here is where I am from, T boned from a drunk driver.

Here is my rehab project, not exactly a hot rod, more like physical therapy to get a shop truck to build a hot rod. One step at a time.
I came out pretty good, 3 weeks in hospital and then physical rehab and then back home, 4 months before I could walk without a stroller again ... passenger they would have died. I will never work again.

I been hanging around here a bit and I like to poke the bear, You wait and see, I will get the stance and wheels just right, The exhaust on the flathead 6 will need 2 mufflers, The paint will be cheap but thats just the way I fly

 

Ron,your Dodge Delivery is so coollove it

 

Embarrassing ain’t it
