Yessir! My little girl starts here soon, so I wanted to get involved.
Fellas, progress has been non-existent, BUT, I’m hoping that’s about to change. Here is an update. Not so much a project update, but a life...
Thanks Tom, Now that I finally am going to have a “day job”, I’m hoping I can clear out the customer projects and get back on MY hotrod project....
Probably so. But is the bandwidth really so precious? I guess it must be. So I suppose that should answer the question of whether or not the hobby...
That’s kind of exactly what I’m talking about. We’ll call it the “sweet car, but you’ve got the wrong wheels” mentality. I’m not saying the...
Winner winner chicken dinner; you said it! And to me, anymore, these attitudes on the HAMB do more to hurt the hobby as a whole, than they do to...
I saw him run a 9.59 just before lunch, and the next fastest flatty was still in the 10’s. Were you driving or just spectating, Andy? I was from...
I don’t imagine they’re going to start promoting it better, but the website for the organizer is up in the top post. I’m gonna guess there’s a...
They did have a flyer, Vic, and Virginia City posted it on their Social Media, but it wasn’t well-promoted.
Yeah, it’s pretty dumb. They could have moved them down a block, but they wanted the end of the “track” to be seen from one of the businesses....
I didn’t take many pictures, but I did sort of “geek out” on Justin Martin’s (out of Fresno) T Roadster. Absolute perfection, if you ask me. Tag...
Hey folks! I just got back from this “First Annual” Hill Climb Race put on by Ford A Speed Technology http://hotforhotfours.com up in Virginia...
Thanks for the compliment. Though, I would say I’m still using old school tools and techniques to build MY seats. I mean, sure, I computerized the...
MOTIVATION! Cheers!
Sounds healthy! Of course, I’m biased; I think a rowdy small block Ford is just about the pinnacle. I recently built a similarly spec’d 289 for my...

Sorry, I didn’t get a post notification on this. YES, I stuck the rails together with pop rivets while it was set in my jig, and then I replaced...
PS-This is a FANTASTIC video of a 1917 Livingood T Roadster in 2’ of snow. Not really HAMB appropriate, but I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of it:...
You and me both!
I thought I had put it in the “History” section, but realize I accidentally clicked “Projects” so I fixed that. I am curious about the “History”...
That was kind of my point, Ben. I’ve found plenty digging through vintage copy’s of Hot Rod and Hop Up that the HAMB’s own “traditional police”...
It looks like it could use some more up travel in the front, but I know the guy drive’s the Hell out of it. @Rottenwood Garage had a build thread...
I’m well aware of the MH conversions, and Napco stuff too, but I had never heard of the Livingood’s; thank you for sending me down that rabbit...
Anybody else REALLY liking these period-looking 30’s Ford 4x4 conversions that have become more popular lately? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I know that...
Thank you! I’m excited to see them taking shape.
Gosh… Over a year later, which is pretty embarrassing. In my defense, my daughter hit Toddler-hood, AND we moved states, so I’ve been a bit...
Best Offer? Nice enough for a cowl top for sure…
$150/obo. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If my price is too high, offer me less, but I see people asking between $250-400, so I...
Sorry to leave you guys in suspense. I wanted to work out some kind of resolution with Jegs before I posted anything. My anvils weren’t anywhere...
