*****KQQL HOT ROD at the PILEUP*****

This is one slick, and well crafted HOT ROD!

 

I dunno man...

 

Very nice

 

I took a long look at this one too, and I have agree! It's VERY well crafted! BTW show was outstanding!

 

It says TIN MAN on the plate could it be........a HAMBER?

 

So is that just the *** end of a sedan?

Also, how do you get in and out with the top up?

 

That's the car that KIRK! posted a few days ago. Said it was 100% hand made(by a young guy no less), not a body and frame that were modified.

 

Is that the only pict you took at the pile up ? Is it that cold ? Wheres THE HEMI COUPE ???

 

Don't know the name but the owner/builder worked for Kerry Hopperstead when the build up started. I remember seeing it in the shop. I also remember Kerry telling us that the 28-29 cowl was such an easy piece to make. Neat car.

 

Which one? This one was cool!

 

i took tons of pics too.

 

Pretty sure there was a write up in Street Rodder about that little A modified a year or 2 back ..................... either that or someone copped some cool details from it.

i too saw the hemi coupe! ill c if i can find my pics of it!

 

That Hemi coupe was killer. Sounded great too. I think it is B***'s car?

 

This one was also very slick!

 

Very nice .

 

Yes thats B***'s car . I remember seeing something about the kid who built the TUB modified was only around 20ish years old.

 

That car was slick, built by a kid my age. He was 20 or 21 when he completed the build, just outstanding craftsmanship. The top was on hinges so he could get in and out

 

Hand-formed from flat stock, custom ch***is. Sounded WAY sweet.

Builder's under 25.

 

that car drove by Fool's and everyone stopped talking to watch it. VERY nice

 

it was featured in street rodder I believe..I remember the kid was younger than me(i'm 26 now) and he is a wyotech grad...killer details everywhere on that car..not to mention that its from scratch

 

I saw an article in the Young Guns one of them pubs was running. VERY VERRY NICE.

 

Which one? I parked a few.

Parking ROCKS! When I was sone 'working', I had already seen 1/2 the show.

 

could you post more pictures please? thanks -Doug

 

man,

i love that car, outstanding....

danny

 

That's Brian Limberg of Sycamore, IL car.
When I talked to him at his hometown car show last year, he had just finish at WYO tech...I think he's in his early twenties.
Not sure if he's a HAMBer with the same nickname?
He hand built the car body from 18 gauge sheets.
His shift knob is customized to look like a tin man skull too...

 

Here are a few more pic's of the "slick and well crafted" HOT ROD at the Pileup.

 

Here's a picture of me welcoming Brian and his killer ride to the HCPU...

thanks.

so that top is a hard top, not a convertible??

 

The builders name is Brian Limberg they call him the TINMAN. He is from Genoa,IL He started the project at the age of 19 and finished it at the age of 23. The entire body and frame is stratch build. He started with flat sheet steel and would up with this kool little hot rod. Not bad for his first car. Look for a full feature on this car in the up coming ROD & CUSTOM mag. Any one instreasted in contacting the TINMAN here is his email address orgtinman@yahoo.com

By the way you can tell I'm kinda proud, he's my kid.
