    I'm Steve and I have a 1929 Model A Tudor I'd like to share with you all. She doesn't have a name yet so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to here them. Thanks. I won't go into a big laundry list of what it is. I'll let the pictures do the talking. 8E654A66-2878-49FD-90E9-2CDD7196DE35.jpg F0BE121A-9EED-4271-8DD5-3E70E26C1F77.jpg
     
  2. Welcome to the HAMB Stephen. That's one COOL model A. Looking foward to your future post. You should post pictures to the A pictures thread on the main form also. I have two A's myself a 29 coupe and a 31 sedan. There's nothing more FUN than a Model A! I've had my 29 for 40 years now. A good name for it, could be the { A- BOMB } 20180111_185715.jpg :)

    Thanks for the warm welcome Ron. Your cars look great. I had a car named ''H-BOMB'' once. I think I'd like more of a girls name but you never know when the right one will strike my fancy. I've had a lot of cars from the 60s and early 70s but this is my first Hot Rod. I just got it on Friday. Wish I could say I built it myself but I will definitely be making it my own.

    Welcome to the Hamb Stephen...the use of Vintage Ford is admirable in Your Hotrod and the Rubber certainly supplies the look and feel that only Bias Plys can...Have fun discovering the Hamb...

    Hi Stephen

    Here is a link to Survivor story and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it...Its truly an incredible Thread with a very low profile I'm thinking Early 60s Hotrod at the Top of the Conversation...here's a tip...a Hamber Bgaro posted another link to another thread on the same Hotrod but when it was found...

    It's not the same but the influence or should I say Inspiration for a certain look does in fact have I believe a connection...AND this is a Bonafide Traditional Hotrod Circa say 1959-64ish

    I will say when true Traditional Vibe Builds or Restorations of Survivors happen there is an incredible respect from these Fellas to bring it back and many times things take on a Time Capsule use as found Rebirth is followed while making sure Safety is addressed...Many times a Well thought out process can bring back original Paints and Chrome and the Driven Vintage Soul is still intact and resurrected...

    Anyways this is really about Discovering the History and its evolving and of course a really cool Hotrod...what you also find from this is pathways to other things for instance Hamber Bgaro has a really unusual Vintage inspired Hotrod build underway.

    Thanks I've been driving it daily since I got it 2 months ago but it's down and out for a little while right now. At least I got the season out of it.

    Thanks. It is a little challenging to get in and out of but that forces me to stay in shape. It is a fun ride. I'm 55 and managing it fairly well.
