    The last post before the recent bump was in November!

    This is the best Model A picture thread on the HAMB. C'mon guys. :D

    Here's a couple of bad cell phone pictures (no scanner) of a couple of pictures my dad took at the Texas GG show in.. I want to say 2003 or 2004?

    Anyone know this neat little RPU?

    Pretty sweet my dad took 2 pictures of this car quite a while ago. He was more into street rods then.

    Sorry about the quality of the pictures.

    The date on the second picture indicates March 25, 1995 if that helps... assuming the camera's date was correct. :D

    Haha. It was one of those little black cameras that my dad could never figure out how to set the date on. All he knew was how to change the film and point and shoot. :D:D

    He started going to GG in Denton back around 2003 or 2004 or so. I went to my first GG show there back in 2005, so it was definitely before then.

    Wow! This is just an awesome thread ... next to Bass's tech video's, maybe the best thing I've ever seen on the HAMB.

    Pick one favorite?? No way! I've seen a ton of cars here that truly make me drool, although there are some (like Zenor's, Rudy's blue coupe from S.A., Rolf's, and a couple of more) that definitely belong at the head of a long line of lovelies.

    But my fav's (like many of you) are my cars ... built by me mostly with help from my brother Richard and a great circle of friends. Every time I walk into my shop, I break into a grin 'cause two of these are still in the stable! A couple have moved on, but they're still among my favorites for all the great memories associated with building and driving them

    Isn't that the car Jimmy Benitez "Rogue" built before Faster Pussycat?

    Definitely looks like the same builder built both. I do remember seeing the deuce in R&C. I need to dig out that issue. So, this was the "Fast Pussycat" before he decided he needed a "Faster Pussycat?" :D

    Nonetheless, it looks really nice. I'm not too fond of how low it is, although it's pretty bad! I love the detail around the edge of the firewall-cowl using rivets too. Some subtle details in there you gotta look for. I wish my dad took some pictures of the interior too!

    Say.. This is the HAMB isn't it? :D

    So, anyone have any interior shots of this Model A?
