Hod Rod has moved on. I haven't (like most HAMBers). Will not renew.
Ken Costello was the first owner and commissioned the build by Hank Fournier. Hank's previous build was a 1936 Ford 5 window coupe. Interesting to...
Thanks everybody. Looks like the 4 barrel will provide additional under hood clearance.
Check out Ken Costello 39 Ford on Kustomrama. Later owned by Willy Ouimette. Chopped and sectioned (which is responsible for "visually" raising...
My subscription started January 1956. Hot Rod and times have changed. I haven't. Will not be resubscribing.
Very funny and likely all too true.
Incredible work.

I have an early Cadillac 331 OHV with a stock 2 barrel carburetor in a 1940 Mercury. To gain more under hood clearance I was thinking a four...
Good on you for calling him out. Letting everyone know how he deals may make it more difficult for him to practice his unethical practices in the...
The truck was build by John McNally of Saint Petersburg, Florida. It had an Olds Toronado drivetrain. John helped build the Bill Cushenbery 1940...
Well ... since no one has yet mentioned the Valley Custom "mystery" killer 1941 Ford coupe, I guess it's up to me. Of special note is the way...
Most, if not all, of us on the HAMB are locked in a time warp. We're into hot rods, customs and muscle cars like they were back in the day. The...
AKA "Jockstrap Ford"
Years ago our 1986 Taurus would trip periodically for no reason. Have seen the same scenario on other Ford products. May be wiser to go with a new...
Here, you can put tires in a dumpster if they are cut into quarters. No limit (as far as I know) and no cost. You might check to see if there is a...
Any more info on this old custom? [IMG]

Hey Kato, I've got the same issue with a 1956 Premiere (bone stock) and wondered how your Jeep steering box replacement worked out. You're right...
Lincolns with push button doors have a separate door popper device from the factory. (One way to distinguish a 1940 from a 1941 Continental since...
The French have a marketing ploy - "PPM" - stands for "Pourque Pas Moi?" => "Why not me?" That was me each time a HAMBer would post he had...
What's up with the split windshield? 1940 Lincoln Zephyrs had a one piece flat windshield. Other than the chop it looks mostly stock. [IMG]
Thank you!
Love the color. Anyone know what it is? [IMG]
Nope. Not guilty as charged. I'm an interpreter/translator and this was my attempt at a snarky reference to people who are clueless about the...
We saw this failure repeatedly at Complete Auto Repair. IIRC was mainly on GM products and Chevrolet V6s especially. It can be difficult to...
Actually, Edelbrock aluminum heads do cover the valves, so I suppose they are - in a way - valve covers.
"Yesterday's luxuries are today's necessities." Or so I read somewhere. In 1958 I bought a running 1941 Ford convertible, running and driving -...
