I rented a Uhaul trailer to bring a 55 Chevy home many years ago but that was when I had a F-250 Super Duty to tow with. They don't like my...

This is the last picture I got from my nephew. I tried manipulating the spot out of it after scanning it but it didn't look so great so I decided...
I just got a few more pictures to scan: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Here's something I don't think many, if anyone, has ever seen here on the HAMB. Its some pictures of the Summers Brothers Bonneville streamliner...
I still only use and buy the best in hand tools which I guess is a leftover from many years of being a mechanic. But there are a lot of things at...
I won't have a car as I sold my other 55' but I'd hope to make it up north to check out all the nice rides.
That's just unbelievable work! I really enjoyed seeing the pictures and appreciated the links to the Youtube vids showing the little engines running.
Speaking of Dode's shop, heres a video of one of his open house events: http://youtu.be/LGuYJ-v2peU
Thanks so much for posting that. That brings back some memories of the early nostalgia racing scene. Those days had to have been as much fun as...
I grew up in the fifties but couldn't start driving until the mid-sixties. I did, however, have an older brother very much into cars (his first...
That's also why we put in a fire pit in our back yard as a first project after moving to the desert. A fire does seem to bring out the good...
Wow, so many cultural icons are really getting up there in years. No wonder it seems so many have been dieing off lately. But as Hotrodprimer...
Most of my friends are either dead or at least a thousand miles away since I've moved. So I have sorta been looking for like minded individuals....
I've had good long-term results with Eastwood rust encapsulator. Even when using the vehicles in rain and snow afterward it seems to really work...
One of the few actors that, upon hearing of their passing, really and truely saddens me. RIP Andy. Say howdy to Barney and Goober for me.
My thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the fires. I lived 58 years of my life in Colorado and its heartbreaking to know the damage this...
I saw how bad things can go when my older brother died unexpectedly several years ago. His widow was able to sell off the last car he built-his...
RIP. It seems all the legends and heros from my youth are passing on.
Those old hot rod movies like this were pretty flaky representations of hot rodding but you do get to see some cool period cars and places. You...
RIP Dick. You added so much to our popular culture.
You can install dropped spindles with your cut springs or lowering springs and you should get a lower drop.
Sorry for your loss. It gets better as time goes by but he still will be a part of you thats missing. I lost my Dad to cancer back in 1981 and...
Between my older brother and Bill Jenkins, they provided some huge inspiration for me to get started in drag racing back in the early seventies....
To have patience. I try to be as good as he was in this regard and usually fail horribly. However, he taught me that by being patient I can damn...
That really brings memories as the Orange Crate was my favorite model car when I was a kid. I think I built 2 or 3 of them and I always wanted a...
Despite being car-crazed at an early age, I recall the very few models I had as a kid were airplanes. That is until Ed Roth's Outlaw came out in...
I have to give credit to Henry but I'd much rather honor the memory of his much abused son Edsel.
16 and it exceeded the Colorado points system at the time so I lost my license for a year. Losing my license and being 16 was really tuff for a...
Welcome to the HAMB from a fellow Arizonian. Bill
