Two years ago I set out to rebuild a virgin 59a block and decided I should build something to put it in. So after years of swap meets and horse trades I've piled up enough parts to start a build from the ground up; probably the hard way but parts should look better on a truck rather than on the...

lets see pictures of "YOUR" truck.. and a description..

The 2025 edition of the Custom Car Revival, the premier custom car event in the US, was another home run despite some initially rainy weather. Again there were a lot of truly amazing works of automotive art and great people as well. So without further ado, here are the...

Seen a white trunk lid thru the bushes so went to peek seen it was a 55 and assumed it was a 4 door cut down some brush and it’s a 2 door and...

OK, let's get this started. I finally got my photos uploaded to my computer so I could start going through them. I thought it was a good show, if not up to the level of the shows of the past, I had a great time. And I learned my lesson from last year and wore long sleeves and a broad hat all...

Here is what I observed during my limited time, as I was running my swap spaces all weekend. Photos are from Strokers' open house as I arrived in town, dinner with Mad Fabricators, Lucky Burton, and friends, and finally at the show.

So I pulled the '66 (I think) 352 out of my '55 Merc (my avatar) for a few reasons- It leaked alot of oil so I'm replacing gaskets and seals, it was painted stupid colors, engine bay was nasty, and the four-on-the-floor was stuck in 3rd gear.

And I was also very curious to know if it had ever...

I have had my '59 for a few years now, and I've grown completely stagnant. I was "hot to go" when I got it, completed some engine work and rewired the whole thing. I came to a stop because progressing meant spending significant money, and I just didn't have it, so it got parked. In the meantime,...

Hey everyone,

Thought I’d share the story behind my family’s 1956 Chrysler New Yorker — a project that’s been part of our lives for over 30 years.

My brother actually started the build, mainly handling the mechanical work and getting it on the road. After he broke his neck in a pool accident,...

The last few years or so have been rather bad on a personal level. I got a divorce and needed to relocate, lost a few friends due to how life works, including one friend taking his own life, losing my home due to a fire, and just a rough time. One friend ended up relocating to Oklahoma, and...

Not sure I can live up to the name, but I sold the deuce. I want to try to build something from scratch.....

probably the lowest level tech thread ever posted. I like the yo yo shift knobs. The thread @Moriarity has on em got by brain juice flowing
Ordered some cheap skateboard wheels and found a stainless shaft collar online.
$10 for 4 wheels shipped.
$8 collar plus shipping.

Hey HAMBr's, remember all those parts you sold me over the past 9 months or so? Well here they are assembled into one neat pile. An air cleaner from IN, exhaust manifolds from MD, gauges from......the list goes on and on......hell, even the car was for sale on here at one point. It takes a...

Hi all,

I’m not sure if this belongs here or the general discussion, but I was wondering how nice was your first hot rod project? I am very close to being able to drive my “survivor” (barely) hot rod for the first time, and procrastinating on it I figured I would ask the HAMB. When I got my car...

So, this just happened.
A 1929 roadster found its way home to my garage.
Pretty solid car, came from Texas to Sweden in 2021.
Then in 2022 a friend of mine bought it and today I bought it from him.

My plan is fenderless, body brush painted black and I will most likely keep the 4-banger for now....

“The story teller”

A playful nod to @J.Ukrop I've decided to start a thread on this build.

I’ve had a little t roadster bouncing around in my head that I’ve always reasoned myself out of for about 23 years. For a long while every October was the time of year I fixated on it....
