Is this guy a hamber??

saw this car at the pile up 2008, just wonderdin if he is a hamber or not. it is one of the baddest cars I have ever seen.

 

Dunno but I like it, too.

 

I'd love to find that in a barn near my house!!!

 

I think so. Theres a story on it in TRJ # thirty four.

 

Yeah, he rescued that body from a salvage yard in MI which is still owned by the guy who raced that car back in the 50's on dirt tracks. I read about it in the Rodder's Journal too.

 

Man, that is a sweet old car.

 

Wow, now that is a cool ride!

 

One of my favs at the pileup this year.... Heres a few more pics....

 

On top ef everything else, check the front brakes.

 

He may lurk from time to time, His son is a hamber,

 

you could put it in my barn i wont mind

Needs a paint job....Thanks, Mike

 

A truly wonderfull car.........Love it

 

What are we looking at here? Someone was awful worried about overheating???

 

Are they Kinmonts? If so probably 10g + worth of brakes!

 

Rare Kinmont brakes. I don't know alot about them, but I'm pretty sure they are disc brakes inside...

 

its funny we always give people **** when they spend 10k on rare weird **** on ebay but when its actually on the car we all have hard ons.

i might love this car.

 

Just try FINDING a set of Kinmonts!

 

Some good info here about the Kinmonts:

I WISH I had more time at te Pile-Up to check out some of those cars! With that sign in front, I didn't even notice te front bumper. If I had seen that, I would have given a closer look!!! DAMN! Hopefully, it'll be back next year. I wouldn't paint that car, unless it was to put it back like an old stock car!

 

That car is beyond words. Simply awesome.

 

Another cool part of this car was the way he mounted the f1 steering box. He used a steering bracket off of an old VW bus and milled off the flange on the box. the VW bracket clamps around the f1 box and mounted to the frame. very factory looking

 

The best part about this car is the lack of paint .My 2 cents

 

That's a cool one. Those front brakes look ********, too.

 

The little rear fenders are cool too.

 

It also depends on WHO does it. Call it the Law of the Internet Car Forum.

Love the coupe. Probably would fetch a boat-load of cash on eBay!

 

Now that is one sweet ride ! DON'T PAINT IT !! It is perfect just the way it is !

 

I'd fix the damn rust and paint that ****er. I'd detail the hell out of it as well... I would not let it sit there and rot, and that is exactly what that thing is doing.... don't for a second pretend it isn't, or that rust is cool. even surface rust, **** that.... Someone needs to care about that car and take care of it.

 

what he said!!!!!
