    Hey everyone,

    My name is Andy and I'm new to the HAMB. I dig drawing cars and working on my 63 Riv. I stripped the Riv down to bare metal by hand(yuk), welded up what little rust there was and shaved a couple of things. The mud work is complete and I'm beginning to block primer. Hopefully it will be on the road by Spring. When it was on the road it it sat low on bags and rolled on Moon Eye's lancers wrapped in a set a pinner white walls. My girlfriend and I laid down some black scallops over white paint to give it a bit more flare. It has 30$ glass packs which sounds deadly behind the stock 401. Although now it just sits quietly on jack stands...

    A little about my past... I grew up in a hot rodding family attending runs all through southern BC and the Pacific North West. My dad was the one who taught me how to work on and draw cars.

    I stopped working on cars for a number of years but I always kept drawing them. That's why I signed up to HAMB, the Anglia art challenge was to hard to resist.

    Later...

    Below is a piece I did for a friend's art show in Calgary.

    I'm with CAB, your stuff looks really cool and should be a good addition to the show. As for joining for the challenge, just wait. This site will soon own your eternal soul. HAMB = Crystal Meth, it's that addicting. Welcome!!!!!

    JeffreyJames I hope you're wrong about HAMB being that addicting...

    It was for a friend's wedding. So it wasn't a hot rod art show it was just a 'these are my friend's art show. It actually sold too which made it kind of cool.

    What's the Friday art show? Can you just post any kind of hotrod or Kulture based art?

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
