The Jalopy Journal
This may be the best reason the H.A.M.B. NEEDS a traditional hot rods section. I've just embarked on an adventure to build a 31 Model A coupe as...
Well said! I LOVE the new changes. Seems much easier to find interesting content. I've spent more time on the HAMB in the last week than I have in...
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6440060&postcount=7 Google search is your friend. This post brought to you by the beast (it's...
Got a chance to meet some cool folks yesterday with a really fast banger: http://www.modelaparts.net/bon2012.html/bon2012.htm
Yep, kinda my thoughts on the car as well. This project has been several years in the making. I first started looking for a nice coupe to build...
I've never done Moon discs, but I have drilled a few rims for slicks. I just drill them with the slicks mounted and run the screws through the rim...
Thanks for the tip on Piranio's, Ken. Headed over there this morning.
Wish my Pops had taken some pics of his coupe. OT trivia: The original Brownie used Kodak 117 film. The negative size was 2-1/4" x 2-1/4". It...
I'm liking the "new" changes to the HAMB so much, I figured it was WAY past time to join. Thanks Ryan, for making the HAMB even better than it was...
j-stovebolt, I think I am in love with your car. Got any other pics on the HAMB?
Sounds a lot more crisp than the Cherry Bombs under my C10 with a 283. I went with 36" and turn-down dumps right in front of the rear axle....
I was hoping to at least test-fire it this week so I could hear it. Got a line on a local old-timer today that has a bunch of A stuff. Gonna try...
Secktion8-something you need to know about the HAMB. It's a community. A lot of guys have been here a long time, and there are guys here who know...
Thanks Rusty. Hoping to have it driving for Pistons an Paint. Got a little over 10 weeks. Seems like every step forward I take two back....
Still can't believe there aren't any entries from Texas. Wish I could come.
I pulled the rumble seat back and bottom from my coupe today. It looks to me that at one time it had a trunk. Either that, or the inside panel of...
Hitchhiker, I read a thread in fordbarn about the late 31's collecting sediment in the tube that runs from tank to the shut-off. It happens...
Thanks for the kind words, guys. Got a chance to get in a little shop time today, but didn't take my camera, so maybe you'll like this pic: [IMG]...
Brett (and anyone else), I have a project thread in the Trad Hot Rod forum if Mike V doesn't start one: Pop's Coupe
Sounds like Mike V. and I are on the same build plan, but I have a coupe. Until the juice brakes are on, steelies probably won't fit. Tried it on...
Hope I wasn't premature in starting a new thread in the Trad Hot Rod forum. I didn't know if it was "open for business" or not, but it looked SO...
That pic I'm using for inspiration is from a listing on a certain online auction site not long ago. I was watching that one HARD. I love the way...
Thanks, Dan. I'm hoping I can get it started in the next couple of days. Picked up some parts I needed for the distributor at The Invasion. Need...
Glad I'm not the only one!:)
This is where I'm headed: [IMG]
Thanks Ryan for the new category! When my Pop was a kid, he built a Model A hot rod. No chop, but it was channeled. Ever since I was a kid, I've...
Not worth much...everyone's buying good-running Model A's for the body and can't get rid of the rest because everyone's looking for a good body....
Are you running the A trans, or a later one?

Just because a car has a non-oem (or an OEM replacement engine with non-original numbers) doesn't mean it's an "assembled vehicle". If that were...
