As I look at event coverages every now and then I see a lady driving a hot rod, I like to know how many lady HAMBers there is out there. Come on ladies show us some pics of you and your HOT RODS.
There are a couple of other threads about the ladies, their rides and their projects. You can check out my 33 Dodge project on my profile. I have a 36 Ford and a 53 CHevy. We have our own social group, Ladies of the Hamb.
I misread and thought this was about LAZY hotrodders. Kind of wondered how somebody got my picture...
all i can say is.........DIANA BRANCH!!!! one hell of a nice gal runs with a cool bunch of hot rodders from a little club called THE BEAN BANDITS! from so-cal, great group of people.
I'd have to agree that Diana Branch is the Queen of contemporary female Hot Rodders! She helped build her own steel Deuce , attends every show,swapmeet,special event in the country. Drives to Southern California Dragstrips then races her car. And last but not least drives her Hot Rod to Bonneville every year and races a roadster out on the Lakes! She is the epitome of the phrase "You go girl" !
Although not a female Hot Rodder by no stretch of the imagination my awesome wife Celeste does stand side by side with me and our music / car show organizing , has been riding shotgun with me and my Hot Rods for the past 15 years and now she's got her very own custom that she plans to drive the wheels off of!
off topic but if thats your truck in your profile pict, it looks pretty rad and I see your from Michigan maybe I'll see you around at shows...I host a hot rod & kustom show every August here in Chesaning,MI
Well that sucks and certainly explains why you didn't have any of your event flyers at the Singlefinger Speed Shop area where alot of the HAMB folks were hanging out. Next year for sure.
yeah I was pretty bummed, but next year for sure I plan to take the entire day off..way to much to see in only 2 hours to do it pretty soon I'll start a thread up with all the info on the show
It's because they're the designated drivers and their old man is passed out in the passenger seat. Just kidding ladies, don't shank me. I'd like to see more pics of the girls and their cars, but that's just the stalker in me........
Well, does this qualify? This is my missis', taking her first spin around the block last weekend in her almost done coupe. I did the welding and fab work, but it's all been done per her design. She hand picked every piece on the car, and helped wherever possible in putting it together. She even stripped the body and repainted it, with a brush!
Here is a picture of me with our 1954 f-100 pick up and if you go to my pics you will see my big ol' hunk of metal 1954 Plymouth Savoy...See there are a few of us lady hambers out here
Stripping. Now seriously. Thats great, And I bet you guys had fun doing it together. I love model A's. Nice looking car.
Nice looking cars! Female born into cars. Dad thought I was going to be a boy so he gave me the car in my avatar. I have a younger brother but as of right now, he don't care so much even though Dad gave him a 57 Chevy wagon. Poor Dad!
This is my car...Its a 1959 NSU Prinz...VW powered..Its a mini,She will run 80 all day long...last year I put on almost 5000 miles..as far north as The "Symcoshakedown"...South as far as "Greaserama"...East.."The Pileup".."Flyen Eyeball".rain or shine..everyday to work...going for 6500 miles this year. I know its not as "Traditional"as the rest of our gang..but they put up with me.
I love your NSU I have a 1958 NSU at this time that I will be doing a VW motor with an IRS transmission. I will be posting pictures as soon as I get started. Frenchy
You will love it!!!..Had to narrow the trans axles 10" to get it under the car...then built tubular frame in back,so it could breath,because of the hieght of the motor we had to redo the back hood.."52" Desoto,then took the shift tunnel clear to the front.even used the hang down pedals..useing the original front suspention?...I'v had the car up over 100.. gets a little hairy after that,but there was still gas pedal left...would love to see the pics...but be forwarned..its not very HAMB friendly,I get grief about mine every so often....you might want to post it on the aircooled group that is on here.....But I usually dont care..I'l brag about her anyway.....have any ?,just pm me..I'l get your reg. email & send you picks....Do you still have any of the engine parts left?..I have alot of people that ask.well good luck...ask ? if you need to...Vic
