Thought my barrel nosed ‘39 was the ugly duckling, but is downright classy next to a jailbar. Then again, I like them all, ugly ducklings or not....
Could be that Kieth wants to apologize for the way he fuckered up the door on your coupe? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Luckily Ford pattern t5s are pretty common, shouldn’t be hard to find nor terribly expensive. Practically free when compared to having a Yblock...

Stupid newb- doesn’t even know that Buick parts won’t fit on a Chevy. What? Oh.. never mind. I believe he said he’s new to the H.A.M.B. but I’m...
Worst is when the boss wonders out from the house. She either “helps” by putting everything that doesn’t go together in a box (usually marked with...
I’m assuming you accidentally clicked on the “gear ratio for burnouts” thread...
Cool Japper- I like it, looks like lots of thought/planning coming together there. The beds always seem to be the tough part on “conversions” and...
I don’t understand the “Ford top loader”? Did Buick buy transmissions from the blue oval at that point in time? Definitely a desirable car. Costs...
Sorry to jump in without a good suggestion— but are 283 blocks getting valuable? I’ve got a stack that looks like cordwood and have never actually...
Not only “someone” but gimpys was predicted to be that someone. Good job gimp Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Typo? If not, congratulations on your 121 birthday! [emoji512] [emoji95]
Couple years ago I found a floor jack. Not as big as I use in the shop but I keep it in the back of my pickup so I don’t have to use a little...
Umm- 1963 wasn’t the last year for 6 cylinders in ChevyII/Novas. 1964 was first for v8s factory but they didn’t eliminate the 6. I had a 65 SS...
First off, I’d like to congratulate our young friend on a fine choice of transportation. I was 15 when I got my ‘64 and was ready to go when I...
So... people do that on purpose? So much for trying to cut the paint on my suburban fender. It just became “wrinkle finish” and I meant for it to...

Squirrel’s example there looks new compared to the one on the front of my old Massey 50.. Someone mentioned the sawdust snow tires back a bit- my...
Well— I thought was sentimental until an offer was made on a (H.A.M.B. era, wrong country of manufacture) car I had. Offer was 10 times what I had...
I personally enjoy the 307, and built one for my last hot rod. (39 ford pu, 307/4spd) but I’m not sure about the “hi po 307” Pretty sure they...
Pop’s friend had one. In the shop constantly. He said every time he took it in they’d look up the problem and the book would say “step 1: remove...
He is. But if it goes, I’d be in to help out. —-Fourspeed “Stock up now — before the hoarders get it all!”
If I pm you my address can I get my fork back HRP? [emoji851] “Stock up now — before the hoarders get it all!”
In post 4 we can just see the end of the leaf spring. It’s mounted sideways from what the more common (newer) style. The flat bars across in front...
If you’re running stamped rockers, the little spring steel clips they sell do a decent job of keeping most of the oil from squirting out onto the...
Yeah. Locally it’s fart can imports or coal rolling diesels now. I turned 16 in 1990 and lots of people then didn’t care either but there were...
Funny tidbit I heard a few years ago about manual transmissions. They cost the factory more to make than an automatic but since everyone wanted...
Both of my ‘64s are 4 speeds. Muncie in the coupe and sT10 in wagon. My ever so slightly ot c10 suburban has a 3speed sag but I’ve had my eye out...
