    Not exactly HAMB family but it's a kissing cousin. Leaving the body as stock as possible. A few patch panels and paint. The frame is almost ready. Wish i had a body working buddy close. I'm not good slicking body filler. I'm also building a Teardrop camper trailer to pull behind it.

    Looks great Jack...body seems pretty darn straight and rust free. I was/am no good at slinging bondo either but I managed with a little help. I wouldn;t let your inexperience in body work keep you from giving it a try, you damn sure have building skills, thats apparent. My 31 coupe body was pretty bad when I got it and I managed. Can't wait to see the teardrop when you get pics.....Good Luck...Subscribed..

    HRP, yep gotta keep this one. Ready to ride instead of build. I plan to get it finished up and get the teardrop to pull behind and hit the road.

    The zoomie headers were for cranking on the engine stand. I plan to use coated fenderwell headers for a tri-5 Chevy. I saw a set on a Model A and they fit like socks on a rooster. gotta have 'em.
     
  14. Socks on a Rooster?,,that's hilarious! :D HRP

  19. You're the only guy I know who's ever put zoomies on an engine to test fire it!

    Most go the other way around with quiet exhaust so they can hear the motor...

    I like you!
