Folks Of Interest if your younger than 20 read this.....

awsome, but get him a real respirator. Painting throws some real awful fumes in the air

 

am i the only one who dosent use one?

 

nope I don't either.

 

There are two of us that are under 21 on my block that own pre-60's cars! Imagine that! lol.

 

what do they have? by the way i like your car..

 

Thanks. Well one is me. lol. And the other has a '58 Fairlane, and a '63 Ranchero also.

 

WTF????? I like young but I don't like stupid. Your lungs WILL be damaged with the rest of your body.

 

yup. Im only 20. But at age 16 i met my mothers friend whos been painting for over 30 years. Back when i guess the technology for respirators wasn't very up to date.

The guy could hardly talk then, sounded crazy all the time, and was just plain ole crazy.

Paint fumes are really harmful. And not funny to screw around with.
contrary to popular belief. Its NOT cool to fry your brain for no reason

 

I heard those respirators are just for beginners? Just kidding, but I was thinking the same thing about that pic.

 

My kind of girl lol. Im in the process of building a 27 t coupe with 392 hemi. Also have a 39 buick coupe and 56 star chief. i guess im to old for this thread i just turned 21 years old started off in muscle cars then got my head on right and found the good stuff.

 

That isn't even a respirator. That is a dust mask. The fumes will go right through it as though it wasn't even there. Right Church, wrong pew.

 

well i'll join in tho i'm 2 years too old (22)

this is my 34 pu I started building when i was 16



53 ford pu dash molded into it sectioned and cut in about 9 places to fit


current projects are a 60 falcon gasser and a 30 model a roadster on 32 rails and y block power. oh the falcon is getting a blown y block mccullough style



also have a belly tank in the works powered by a model a V4-F class engine

 

I'm almost 19, I'm building a '37 ford pickup hot rod! I chopped the roof 4" channeled it 6", 4" dropped front axle, shortened the bed 6"... my little brothers only 16 and hes starting on a '54 bel air that he's making into a lead sled! I also have 2 older brothers, ones got a '57 chevy and the others building a '41 plymouth coupe.

 

i'm seventeen and this is my 38.
me and my dad build it together, i cant take all the credit.
we got it done just in time for the nationals. unfortunantly this is the only picture i have.

 

I like the mail box

 

Im 22. Had a 30 3w when i was 18/19 tho wish i never would of sold it..



But i currently have a 63 f100 project

 

kool I seen a few of them around. I like it even more cause its a ford

 

heres another pic i found of the sedan i built for my girlfriend, and hes the 65 nove me and my dad built and he drives it almost everyday

 

your girlffreind is a lucky one haha

 

I am 17, live in SoCal, and I have a '55 Plymouth coupe. I recently co-founded a classic car club at my school it's going pretty well. I am also planning a car show with the other guys I am in the club with. Unfortunately, I have no recent pics of the Plymouth to show. The cars and rodders on this thread seem top-notch.

 

hey there, Im 17 andlive in the great white north, vancouver island b.c. its pretty much seattle. so i got down to oregon all the time for parts. ive got a 61 and a 65 falcon. not so much hot rods, but good classics. I was more into the muscle end of things but im really warming to the rods. There is so much more creativity! once the 65 is done im going to be in search of a good big old ford. I like all of them but i think im going to go with the 49-51 shoebox ford . I like the simple lines once there all chopped dropped and channeled. my 61 is currently my daily and im rebuilding its tranny right now. and since its under the knife already, she's getting a 2 inch drop and skinny whites to give her a wicked little stance. this year im taking automotive courses in college so im only in high school until march. after that i have a choice to go into high performance engine building or bodywork from a local rodder. where i would learn to do all the wicked metal work. and paint.

 

heres a shitty little video hah its pretty old.

 

I'm 17 and I Just bought a 1956 Buick Century 4 door wagon. It needs a lot of love.

Here are some pics: http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l222/III_3_III/Mah BUICK/

This weekend I'm going to buy a running 322 to drop in it.

The oldest car any of my friends have is my sister and she has a '73 VW Beetle... Other than that its all new stuff, 90's+. Plus my parents know nothing about cars so that doesn't help either!

Nice cars guys!

hahaha you guys might laugh but i am 19 and have not built any rods yet. i own a 1970 c-10 but its back in my hometown. were i live i cant afford a garage or anywere to store my ride. i also have a 57 4d buick that belonged to my great great grandpa and tend on fixing that up once i buy my house in about a year. but i am a striper. Need any striping done. get at me. i am all about preserving the kustom culture.

Well I guess I should introduce myself as well. Names Brant Inglis, 17 years old. I've got a Jalopy VW bug (its fast-ish don't hate) I've also got the second built Scotty Fenn TE-440 dragster with a flat motor in it. As well as the 1960 'Flashback' AA/FD and the 'Challenger' 1968 B/Gas rail dragster both in restoration. I've been Drag racing for 10 years now in rear engine but I perfer driving front engine rails.

I dont feel as lonely now that I know there are so many people under 20 here on the HAMB. I'm quite glad to be here.
