    The story, cars, pics are all very cool. Isn't the hood on Bob's dad's car the same one from Corvette Summer?

    I am so excited from all of this, it was fantastic..... This is the stuff I live for.

    I have decided to build my coupe FULL RACE, Full Custom Comp.... No ********... Simple and pure. I was headed that way, but now its on.....

    The coupe will be race only and I will build my new 34 truck as the tow rig and a super low single axle trailor to boot...... I am viewing it as all one project now.... the COMPLETE picture.

    The coupe will be an accessory for the truck. The truck will be a nessasity for the coupe. They will complete each other. You know?

    I am in love with that ranchero I have had a picture I drew of one done up what I think of as cl***ic lowrider style you know every accesory that could have come on it if you had pinned a parts guy to a wall as your buddy raided the shop. Any way awesome story great pics amazing ranchero and an epic start to what will be I am sure an amazing hot rod. I want to make a simmilar trip from the hairy sac (sacramento CA) to *** for an interior I just gotta figure out a way to not eat for a while!

    you guys kick *** !

    Just think about this duo going down the highway and, if you're an impressionable young person, the dreams it will conjure in their head!! I haven't been the same since my uncle gave me my first little books when I was 8. My mom never got over it.

    THIS is why the HAMB rules...and I put up with all the nonsensical threads. Once in a while, a truly great story emerges!
