Projects I Just Bought a Hot Rod Model A Roadster That Was Built In 1959...

So this is cool! I found out via Instagram the other day that the BB made the 2019 Hot Rod Hill Climb calendar (along with a lot of other bitchin’ cars!)

Go here to get one and support a great event put on by great folks!

Hell that is a nice thing. Kudos on the good coverage.

 

I just found this thread after joining HAMB a couple of weeks ago.

Such a great car, I love the 303 Olds engine (any Olds engine actually). Good work keeping it as it was.

 

Love that photo they chose with the cool looking town in the valley.

what a nice old hotrod........"are ya havin fun yet" comes to mind

Lanny sent some pics over that his sister found in their mother’s stuff.

This is Lanny and Sally at a Daryl Starbird show! The three-tiered fountain at the front is full of bachelor buttons!

I’ve mentioned before that he used to flat tow the car to shows behind his ‘57 Ford. I have the tow bar.


This one blows me away!!

 

These pics are so good!!!

 

Oh man! Treasure.

I can't get enough of the BB and this is another reason why. So Dang Cool!!!

...Well deserved and Congrats... @cactus1

Such a great day that was!! Another Epic year at The HRHC and Scotty does such a great job of capturing and writing about the action.
Here's a shot of the BB that I took bright and early in the staging lanes before it made it's debut run up the hill. Is it just me or does it look like it's amped up and ready to take on the hill!!
When you walk up to the BB, you can just feel the history and coolness coming off it. I just love that little roadster of yours Mike...GREAT JOB!!!

I can't get enough of it, ha! Great pic Dave and what a fantastic weekend it was! Can't wait to do it again!!

 

Just to keep this thread updated and for those who don’t follow along on Instagram, the good folks at Hop Up magazine included this photo my wife took (the day we got the BB running) in their current issue! I made sure @Marcy got her name spelled right, ha! (And yes Marcy I know her pictures are better than mine! )

 

That's a really nice photo at the farm at sunset. ..."peaceful"

 

That is nice enough to frame!

 

I'm seeing more splash aprons on fenderless or bobbed rods... was that the poor man's deuce rails of years gone by, just a pain to loosen the body bolts to slide them out or a styling fad ? ...
