    Hi from New Zealand, I've been a lurker on the H.A.M.B. for years and have learned many a valuable lesson from some of you all. It's a credit to the founders and all who contribute. My main reason for joining is to further foster the HA/GR movement here in NZ and am presently in the throws of constructing a few and overseeing the construction of a few more. our family car for the last 33yrs has been a '31A Tudor ,unchopped and running a 4v351w/Auto & 8", more recently (3yrs ago)we built up a '29A Tudor for my wife to use as a daily driver. Its got a 302w/auto & 8"and chopped 4",no front fenders or valances and dummy '32 side rails to hide the A chassis...we also run a severly channeled '29A tudor,suicide front ended "paddock racer" and a rough old original '30A Tudor just for the fun of it. For a fun day on the farm we have an original AA Flatdeck truck,realy rough,but still a runner.......projects on the go at the moment besides the HAMB Dragster are, 3 more Model A's ,one with a '39Flathead V8, and another with a '37Linclon V12......sorry I'm not so good with pics but here's a link to a video of a couple of our old cars in the paddock.
