Hot Rods 55 Chebby with Rolls Merlin V12

I found this while looking for kittens riding unicorns over rainbows. I am surprised it hasn't landed here before. I think it vaguely represents what the HAMB is about, both car and engine are before 1965. Although I doubt it will ever be repeated, it is a grand gesture of using way more power than necessary. Or even possible to manage.

Its been here before.

 

Think harder. It doesn't. Lot's of things were made before 1965 that aren't HAMB material. And the age of the parts is irrelevant. It's how they are prepared and combined. I can make a HAMB-friendly car out of all parts made in 2012. I can make a non-HAMB-friendly car (like the one you posted) out of parts all made in the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's. It's not about blind allegiance to a cut-off date. It's about a philosophy.

 

it's awesome regardless what anyone thinks about it
