Hey all.. the H.A.M.B has been recommended to me by a fellow petrol head, and since my latest project will require lots of help/knowledge from other good folks, I've signed up.... So, I'm putting together my interpretation on a 1947 Allard, which has a 100 inch wheelbase and short ch***is and is currently to the early cars 'J' spec. How it will end up looking is still very much in my drawing pad, but I'm very taken by the look and somewhat 'art deco' flavour of the Baldwin-Payne special of the same year. So my car will very much be an Allard Special with plenty of hot rod spin : ) I have most of the original car components, so I'm hoping from a rolling ch***is perspective I should have her on wheels quite soon... Anyways, here I am , and looking forwards to talking with some of you. I'm Mark, handle : v8skid.
welcome to the site .... glad to have you on .... when you get a chance, would you post some photo(s) for US .... =)
Hey Guys, bout time I updated you on my build progress.. I have a blog with loads of details and pics from the past 6 months here : http://v8skid.blogspot.co.uk/ I'm currently getting ready to drop a mercury flathead in this ch***is.. and the body work is a real game getting the look and feel of a vintage Speedster together....
Hi All, build progress getting there... currently playing with body panels and hooking up the engine.. hope to be in a position to fire her up soon.. : )
