    Okay, I don't know about everyone else, but every now and then I'll stumble on a build thread that gets bumped up after dissappearing into the HAMB Abyss and say "WOW! How did I miss this build?! I wish I would have seen this before I built my (whatever thing)". There are often waves of low-substance threads, O/T threads, or just "quickie" topics that will push the builds and tech stuff to the bottom and I'll miss them all together if I'm away from the computer for a day or two. Sometimes even just an HOUR. :eek:

    Anyway, thought I would start a thread to sort of get myself and others up to date on what HAMB friendly car(s) and/or trucks(s) everyone is building right now. Post a link or links to your build threads. Maybe this can be a one stop shop for current HAMB build-ups and updates.

    Hoping 2008 will build a good build year for everyone! Let's see some inspirational threads to get those juices flowing for the new year!

    We are building a 32 ford pickup for my wife. Basic stuff, sbc, auto, ford rear, no fenders. Nothing out of the ordinary just a good dependable driver. I will do some pictures once we get going on it.

    Currently practicing my TIG welding on a '32 pickup dash, so I guess that's what I'm building. At my current rate it should be done in time for the 2018 HAMB sum up.

    just started messing with this 34 5 window a couple days ago, the body is pretty ruff and whoever had it last shouldn't have messed with it because everywhere they touched it i get to redo. picked up a set of rails from the kiwi konnection (thanks duane) a couple days before cristmas and have been trying to figure out where to start, no floors, subrails, or bottom 6+ inches of the body make it a little hard . i've ordered up some patch panels and will take some measurements of a friends car so i have something to go off of.
    it will will get a 2x4 1959 pontiac 389 and m21. should be a fun car.

    and i've still been messing with the little blue car, a few little things but mostly just beating the **** out of it now that it's running really good

    Willys, Willys and more Willys!!

    We're currently building a '33, '41 and '40 (Actually a '39, but we're making it appear to be a '40) Two more '40's scheduled to come in as soon as there's shop space and several more bids out. All of these are coupes. We're expecting a '33 Willys sedan delivery in the near future, as well as a '40 Willys pickup. We also have a '36 Chevy Master sedan scheduled for delivery next week.

    Willys replacement parts orders have been keeping us snowed under lately.

    All this can be seen on my website:www.fergusoncoachbuilding.com
