For as long as I could remember, Roth was a fixture at the Detroit Autorama. I knew I could count on him every year to be there. The year before...
I had a chance a couple years ago to talk to one of my heroes, Tom Langdon. I'm a huge 216 fan, and I asked him a couple questions about building...
I saw on Facespace that Victor got married, and took a little break. He was responding to messages on there. Have you tried since Wednesday? And,...
A fellow HAMBer, Mercman1951, and I shared a rented house in Northville for about a year in 1999-2000. We were on Lake Street in a little 2...
I'll admit I'm slightly jealous. My son and I bought an A chassis that I fully intended on putting a roadster pickup body on. However, fate...
Years ago I picked up a copy of the "Riley Racing Scrapbook" by Mr. Iandola. As of right now, it may be part of my retirement fund as copies seem...
I haven't seen many for As, but there were plenty for Ts. Himico, Chicago, Warford, etc. I'd be curious to see how many manufacturers made the...
I couldn't get to their current site, but was able to call and order a Burns intake and linkage about 5 minutes ago. The information on the site...
Interestingly, there wasn't much more information in the "George Riley Racing Scrapbook" on the flatheads he produced. In addition to what has...
I was going to say I'll check Iandola's book when I get home, but I think this is what I was thinking of. Not cool to hear Yapp say there's only 3...
Well, after a little over 20 years of being on the HAMB, I can finally post in the Banger monthly meet thread! Picked this up a couple weeks ago...
I missed this build, but after catching up on it all I can say is WOW! Beautiful work! We built the rail in my profile pic in 67 days to make TROG...
Too cool. I remember reading (and dreaming) about that car and the fun you were having with it back in the day. I miss my Bomb Factory Digger...
Years ago, (I mean, like, 20) I had kartbreaker ship me a T frame from Texas. What we found is that if you don't call it an 'automobile' part,...
Looking for info on this car- It was in Hot Rod, October 1948 belonging to Frank Williamson. Timed 105.26 at a Russetta Timing Assn meet in...
I found the HAMB via a search for "American Graffiti" in 2003. For awhile, really a long while, my wife referred to the HAMB as a 'cult'. I...
It didn't happen this year but will hopefully be happening next year- look up Five Seven Delta. It's a runway drag event in Ray, MI (east...
I have a friend with an original 62 Dart. Let me see if he knows.
I don't have any from the HAMB, but have a few I've bought off the HAMB. Barnett's "Ain't No Crime Runnin' Inline", The Gosson Bros "Son of...
The second method- isn't that what GM did with the "Jetfire" Olds? Run methanol (I think it was basically windshield washer solvent) and inject...
It's been a long time since I've posted here, and finally I have something worthy of posting. Early this summer, I got a text from my friend and...
Here is ours on my son’s TROG car. It’s exactly that- a truck center section with flipped axle bells.
Oh, and I forgot to add, I know you've picked one, but another possible name for an A body like that is "Contender", as in "Cuda been a...
Wow! I did a HAMB search for Super Stock springs and this was one of the first threads that popped up. I've spent the last hour and a half (off...
Subscribing. I can't believe I've missed this one.
Is that in place of the 'tech-o-matic'? I tried looking for an article I know used to be there, and can't find the tech-o-matic forum... I...
Actually, we are pretty lucky on the west side of Detroit. I grew up in Canton, and we had the Daly's on Main and Ann Arbor Road in Plymouth...
OK, thanks. Although with the limited space in a T, I'm thinking that the smaller trans may be better... I didn't know the 60 even came in...
Wow. That's really good stuff in both posts. Thank you for that! Juice brakes. I was just reading about the spring in front yesterday on a...
Thanks for the reply, Patmanta. I have a 1919-25 style frame and a similar vintage cowl for a closed car, but I really think I like the look of...
