A chance to build a 1:1 Hot Wheels Cockney Cab [ATTACH]
It's a thing to mourn but it's inevitable. My grandfather's stamp collection would have bought him a house 60 years ago. It was everything to him....
Now that I see your pic, I think I've mixed things up, it were the front tires that rubbed.
That happened to me. Got some used Lotus style wheels for my Cortina, bought new tires ( I think they were 205 ..I don't remember exactly, it was...
I see it this way: When you think that many people his age or younger are sunk in the depths of disease or dementia or lie around in a nursing...
He was kind enough to sign the glovebox of my car in 2018. Back then I thought it's maybe a bit odd because he had no relation to my car, but...
Really nice work. The metal looks straight and clean like dental bowls.
That paper was eaten by silverfish not mice. Considering the condition of the seats there probably were not many rodents living inside. What a...
I also love the Jaguar XK 120 being raced. Reminds me of this Lindberg kit: [ATTACH]
Many moons ago I made a thread on changing the wheels/tires/wheelcovers on my mercury. Before: [IMG] After: [IMG]
Thanks again for your efforts. Wishing you strength during your recovery.
"All" is a strong statement. I won't trouble you with a list of all legendary European car designs but let me say this: there is a reason why...
Thank you for posting these. So inspiring. I dig the Hupmobile Skylark, must have been super rare even in 1953.
I apologize for that, had a bad day and as you could see, I immediately deleted that comment.
1 month ago everybody and his brother would have been roasted for airing most of the opinions we read in this thread and it would have been...
After years and years of keeping the HAMB on topic and closing threads and deleting pics for just the slightest offense against the rules and...
I also would not have known exactly what V8 engine that is. I have zero knowledge about new engines and they don't interest me. At the beginning...
I send hundreds of parcels with antiques every year, even to Japan and China and never had a problem. I have 3 rules when packing: 1. use a...
That was my 1964 Cortina Mk. 1. First car I ever bought - in 1990. It was mostly original. Kept it 26 years but sold it 8 years ago. They are...
Not wanting to correct you on your own stuff but the box on your photo says "553" for 49-51 Fords. "1053" seems to be for 49-51 Mercs and...
Yes, it belongs to a HAMBer but he cannot answer at the moment as he fainted when he saw how his new acquisition is transported.
You make it look so easy as if it were some AMT model kits parts from the spares box. Looks great.
Best answer is if it does not make you that happy anymore, then it's time to let it go. I have sold cars and bikes that I had thought I would...
The driver my have dissolved at the end of the 1/4 mile.
That is the truth. Either seek professional help or let it. What do they expect from an Instagram video? That all Gene Winfield fans turn up at...
Too low to be practical. I have a 3 inch drop on my 50 Mercury and even that gives me troubles sometimes.
Did Mr Huff repaint it or was this done later? I think that crazy 1st paintjob was cooler.
Cool that the car has returned to the public. That's the only interesting thing about this story. The rest is just unworthy gossip. I hope that...
I also have a big scar on my head since my youth and my father always used to say: "With that scar you will be more interesting for the ladies!"
Sorry, I won't post here again, I am just wondering. To me this AI stuff is against everything the HAMB stands for. If a computer generated pic,...
