    :rolleyes:...Norman Timbs Custom Streamliner...
    Restored from a derelict yard find only to be lost in the California Fires...There is a silver lining however in that it may be back on the restoration block...fingers crossed...Hamber @rexrogers was heavily involved in the original rescue from its field days I believe...

    That's the one with the surplus jet engine! Didn't it run at Bonneville?

    Sorry, there's 3 reasons why I can't.
    1) I don't know how to post pictures
    2) it's ugly but it's mine. It's all home built and it shows. Definitely not HAMB quality. I wanted to tell you that I love your hot rod in the half fender thread. I have bobbed rear fenders and no fronts.
    3) the front suspension and radius arms are OT and I don't want to offend anyone.

    Those things are tiny.
    I've seen pictures of people using Crosley 4 cylinders in motorcycles.
    That Crosley is maybe 1200 lbs? That flathead is probably 120 to 130 hp. I bet it is a fun ride.

    It was shared and Identified in a Thread recently maybe Showrods by @porknbeaner... @Marty Strode may have worked on it...it is kinda newish aka Hamb of course...

    Here's a link to a page where it was shared and discussed and yes Marty had a hand in at the very least improving it...

    It's actually a model A that was built by Russ Meeks and owned by Portland Oregons' John Corno, later owned by Street Rod magazine publisher John Slaughter and yes, Marty has had it in his shop for upgrades but don't recall for what.

    Look at the similarity of chassis construction, if I didn't know better, I would think I copied the green 13. img20170201_15133302.jpg
