The Hop Up Top 25!

Continue reading the Original Blog Post

 

Hello,
Those were some unusual top 25 choices. Out of all of them, here are my top 3.

A chopped Ford truck, a cool Model A with the stock grille, and a lowered station wagon. That should cover the whole spectrum. Nice hot rods and could be daily drivers, too.

Thanks,
Jnaki

 

The chopped 57 wagon. I've loved it since the first time I saw it. It just oozes cool, and pile the family in me and go across the country

 

I'm guessing that all the "TOP 25" are owned and/or built by fellow HAMBers ... I know these are:

Shameless plug for my sprint car in the prewar race car group. Feel free to vote for me. You have to go down thru the list of cars as mine was posted the first day in the top 25. Thanks!

Originally built in the mid 30s and raced around New England thru the 40s. Ended up in disrepair in Virginia and then Texas with a cosmetic restoration (bondo and paint) with no drivetrain. I bought it a couple years back and wanted to race it again. Originally had Riley 4 Port OHV banger motor but I couldn't find a 4 port head. Found an original Miller/Schofield head and had Al Clarke from Go Devil Garage in NY work his magic on the engine. Rays Hot Rods in NJ stripped the frame down for repairs/strengthening/safety and crammed in 32 3-speed trans. Car ran strong and won the banger cl*** in TROG 2019. Such a fun car to drive.
