So, this just happened. A 1929 roadster found its way home to my garage. Pretty solid car, came from Texas to Sweden in 2021. Then in 2022 a...
Anyone on the HAMB that has more pictures of Bud Hands roadster? The attached photo is from the Bishop/Tardel book. [ATTACH]
With this new off-topic forum up I might as well share what I work on right now, a 1965 Ford Cortina. It's a low mileage original paint car....
I'm sure that I'm not the only one that buys a project car, tinkers with it, drives it and then your focus changes and you want something new. I...
In 2019 I bought this flathead V8 out of a 1947 Ford coupe that was being street rodded. It's been sitting in my garage ever since, untouched...
Sold my '53 Customline last weekend and a new project is already in the works, this time a Model A coupe. Thinking unchopped, full fendered,...
I'm having some issues with the throttle not returning to idle on my '53 Customline. As you can see in one of the pictures the spring is binding...

On January 2nd I ordered a bunch of books from the shop at The Rodders Journal website. I still haven't received anything and I've e-mailed them...
I've been reading about mounting Olds and Caddy wheel covers on Fords and some people say that one way to do it is by simply using Mopar wheels....
I've been looking around for something fun and somewhat cheap to cruise around in next summer. Wanted a car with a roof and preferably V8-powered....
Some time ago I got a hold of these 16 inch wire wheels with adjustable spokes. They are around 5.5 inches wide and have the same 5x5.5 bolt...
As some of you know, I'm slowly putting together a 40's style hot rod based on a '28 Model A Phaeton. Since that is an open top car, and I live in...
Since the server upgrade I haven't been able to login to the forum when I'm connected to the wifi at home. (I'm writing this at work and no...
Does the B-trans use the V8-style bearing hub or the longer Model A-style hub? When used with B-engine, B-flywheel and stock clutch. Also, my...
I don't know if the forum just got updated in some way or if I by accident hit some weird button on the keyboard, but it turned really small....
Since I won't use an original distributor in my car I think it would be neat to use the timing lever for turn signals instead. I'm sure someone...

I'm going to use a Model B 4-banger and B-trans in my Model A. But one problem with doing so is how to mount the pedals. I would really...
Been a long time reader on the HAMB and a while back I made a deal on a 1928 Model A Phaeton. It's not gonna be one of those shiny, better than...

I really enjoy the website Petrolicious.com and just came across this article about a 1937 Ford and it's owner. Pretty cool I think :cool:...
