I agree. I enjoy a nice mild custom, but it’s kinda cool to see a wild n krazy one pop up ever once in awhile
This a ‘58 Chevy kustom built by Bailon back in the day. Spotted it at the Hot Rod Rock &Rumble in Colorado...
3” block in the rear should be fine, just depends on how and where you drive it. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Yes, I do body work and paint for a living. Welded the holes, filler, slick sand, and high build primer Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B....
If you are going for a tail dragger look, I’d suggest just lowering the rear, nose high cars tend to drive crummy and you will definitely get you...
They are “custom cruiser “ tires. Mine are just rollers, they’re over 10 years old . I’m not sure if they’re still on the market Sent from my...
I love it, really digging the custom grill
The body work was shoddy and too wavy for a black paint job, nothing on the car was taken off before paint, and it was an old enamel job. Plus I...
I’m digging this car! I love the tube grill. Post some more pictures of the body for us!
Just wanted to share some pictures of my thunderbird I’ve been working on. It’s a mild kustom. Just shaved the trim, slapped on some ‘57 Plymouth...
I’ve had plenty of Model A’s 2000lbs or lighter with a HOT engine and a 4speed. I’m just over it, that’s why I built a custom, I couldn’t care...

If I was building a car for burnouts and holeshots I wouldn’t have done a ‘60 thunderbird Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I eventually did a built 360 in that duster, but I had swapped to 3.55. When it had the 2.45 though the top end was just as you described Sent...
Thanks for the info everyone. I’ll try them out and see how I like them. I ran a 318 duster for years with a 2.45 gear and 28in tires, and i also...
My bird is a ‘60 as well. I’m only about 5 miles from the interstate. Everywhere I go the speed limit is 70 I’d just like to be able to get on the...
I’m twisting close to 2500 at 60mph Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I have a 3.10 gear now, but with a 215/75r14 tire the rpms are a little high for my liking and the cost to put an O.D. Trans behind an FE is too...
I am installing a 2.50 ring and pinion in my Thunderbird. Anyone have any experience with a similar setup? I have the stock 352 4bbl with cruise o...
Since you’re already running a small block I’d say save yourself some time and money and run the 327. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B....

The “slim Jim “ is a crummy trans. I’d recommend going with a ‘60 and back hydra Matic Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I'll be there for sure! Really looking forward to it.
Awesome!!! Such a badass piece of hotrod history
Is this cool or what, that's one way to get a 4bbl I guess. I wanna know who welded these.
Thanks, that would make sense.
I never seen anything like but it's a neat piece to look at on a shelf, it was on a friends flathead.
Any information on this flatty dizzy?
