After a lot of time, effort, some money, alot of frustration, my 1937 Buick 320 Straight 8, with the homemade dual carb intake and exhaust is making some noise on it's own! I'd guess its been 50+years since this car has made any noise, and after working on it the last 6years or so, its breathing...

Documenting in one location the mid century Chevrolet's from 1955 to 1957.

N.O.S. doesn't have to mean New Old Stock. Sometimes it means Neat Old Shit, like this Sun vac gauge dated Aug 12 1952. How about y'all, we haven't done this in a bit, show off something that's just Neat Old Shit. Enjoy...

At almost 80 years old I sometimes catch myself pulling up and asking “Why am I doing this?” Continuing to chase some foggy Valhalla of hot rod holiness. Living in a dream that has no end, except when death comes.

When I allow myself to look back at my meager start at this seemingly...

Current 34 Ford 3w has a 350 SBC but I have a 354 Hemi in the shop. The Hemi is not complete but I do believe I have most of the major parts. The question is, is it worth it to build the 354 and swap out the SBC. Thoughts?

I know we all have different ideas of what we enjoy about this hobby. But, whether we like the build, showing off what we built when we are done, or driving the wheels off of this old stuff, it seems that just the nature of the hobby is that these cars are meant to be driven in some sense? I...

The date: July 18, 2011. A young man joins the HAMB to gawk at old cars and trucks, lurking, reading, learning from the exceptional collection of talent and knowledge contained in a far corner of the internet. Underutilized in his new corporate job at the birthplace of the Model A, he delves...

Hi. I repair an original 32 frame which had a collision. I need some information from jig owners or anyone could help.

I am looking to purchase an Edelbrock carb. I was thinking of buying it from them. All the big places selling them offer the same deal. How is their customer service? I have never bought from them before.

Is it Tech Week? The old timers will know what I'm talking about.

I decided to throw together a tech post like in the days of olde and hope this will be of use for some of you out there.

Steve McQueen’s Command Center

I think we have touched on this in the past but I had lunch with a couple of old hot rod pals and we were talking about having to come up with ideas to replace parts that are non existant or make something work by using something that wasn't intended to be used on a car or truck.

The first...
