Still have the Rod or Custom you had when you joined the Hamb?

I joined the Hamb on 1-3-2003 and at that time I had 2 running Hot Rods and a project '54 Ford "Ranch Wagon".

Both of the Deuces are long gone now,

1932 4 door sedan,,


1932 roadster,,


We still have the wagon and it's a driver now and of course I have 2 replacement Deuces. HRP

 

I joined recently with no HAMB appropriate vehicle but have since acquired a '32 roadster, Brookville all steel etc., somewhat traditional, but with the SBC and TH350 it's not ******** HAMB'ish.

 

Nope. I didn't get my 34 'till 2007. Car previous to that...well, there's a long list since March 2001 and they've all been sold to finance the next one.

 

Sure do, Danny.......joined in 2007 and have had the '34 for ten years now.
It's currently in for a repaint and will be back by Thanksgiving...
Photographed here in front of what was "Don Nicholson's Speed Shop" from 1953

 

Yep and still totally in pieces - used to look like this ca 1999....

 

I do but it is almost finished now.

 

Only the Roadster is left. The sports coupe is long gone now. I found the HAMB searching for SW gauge parts in 1999 to use in a redo of the roadster. I got the parts here but never completed the ch***is to use under this roadster.

 

Yep, have owned it since 1977...

the way I see it there are several options here, those that buy and flip. those that build and flip. then theres us whoarders that never sell anything

 

Yup, sitting on the back burner til my '32 pickup is done.

 

Yep, but added a few also........and sold a few.....Yeah, I know - one is not HAMB , but I go both ways......

 

Oh, man! Weasel, a 34-36 Hupp coupe has been at the top of my bucket list for a lonnnnnnnng time..LOVE 'em!

 

Sure do, have had the 56 Bird 45 years and the A 42 years. Joined the HAMB 6 years ago.

 

I traded the 48 Ford businessman coupe for a 64 Impala SS. My next project is a 51 Henry J. I'm still loving the HAMB just a great place to learn and enjoy.

**** no, that was probably at LEAST a dozen cars ago...

 

i joined 4-10-02 and had a `28 tudor and my `36 project. still have the `28 and the `36 is on the road

 

I'm still rocking the Kripple Kart, and probably always will. When I first joined she was still stock except for a flame job and probably still would be now if it wasn't for this place. Everything I had done to her I learned from here, and advice from a whole lot of good people helped me make what I consider to be the right choices.

Nice picture of your car 40 StudeDude!

 

LOL...thanx. My bro shot this pic (from his '47 Chev Aerosedan) somewhere in Kansas, coming back from the HAMB Drags with Mike Rocher (and his Morris) and Aaron Leeper (in his Model A)...ran thru a bit of rain for about half an hour...

I still have the 58 Custom 300 that i joined with and it is still in pieces getting finished. Should be done by the time I retire.

 

yes, still have the car from when i joined the Hamb the first time in 2001

 

let's see, joined in 07 - Had the Anglia, still have it
Had the 56 T Bird, still have it
Had the 32 Coupe, sold it, but it still spends a lot of time with me
Had the 47 COE, it went to Sweden about a year or so ago
Had the 62 Ranchero, it went to an engineer at Ford in MI
I think I had the Falcon Convert by then, still have it

 

Nope, added them up, TWENTY cars (all pre-64) since I joined in '05...
Several of them were traded or bought from HAMBers. One thing though, I've had a fifties era truck as my daily driver the entire time (with the exception of the Hummer I drove for about 3 months - my wife's idea - honest) First a bone stock '53 Chevy, then a similarly stock 55 F100, a hot-rodded '40 Ford and the '55 Chevy pickup I have now. I've owned it three years now, which is a world's record for me.

63 Chevy II
'28 Model A coupe
'29 Bobber pu
'55 Caddy Eldo
another Model A coupe
'29 Ford pickup
Chopped '51 Caddy
'53 Chevy pu
'64 T-Bird
another '55 Caddy
'57 Caddy
'55 Ford F100
'40 Ford pickup
'55 Chevy pickup (my present DD)
'23 Ford t modified
'55 Buick Special
Chopped '50 Ford
'33 Plymouth coupe
Yet ANOTHER '55 Caddy

and the '55 Chevy BelAir post I have now...

I really do admire guys who can keep ONE car forever. When my old pal and fellow Poorboy Sparky (Jalopy43) died last year he still had the Shoebox he and his father pulled out of a California junk yard over forty years ago... I hope his son will treasure it...

RIP Brother...

 

That is a real bad *** pic, Sad to say no I sold her some years replaced with a 57 fairlane its gone to but there is an 1960 olds just a few more dollors and she will be ready.

 

Yeas, I do and it's still not finished. Getting closer, though. This was before paint.

 

Joined in 07, still have the same stuff, 53F100, 46 Bus cpe, 40 cpe, except now driving my 40. 40 tudor sits waiting for it's rebirth.

 

Well, I still have 3 of the cars I had when I joined in 2005. I have had the 56 since 1996, got the 34 truck back in 2000 and the 64 Galaxie in 2004. Still chugging along on all three, only at a snails pace.

 

I joined Sept. 8, 2002 but was a lurker long before that.

I have owned the 32 roadster for over 30 years ...



and I still own it. BUT ... since it caught fire back in March 2012, it lays in the shop ... waiting for me to fix it.



Had a few GOOD offers on it to sell it. One fellow ... who I know who love it and fix it ... made a very generous offer, BUT my wife pitched a fit ( totally unlike her ) and said I would regret the sale for the rest of my life. She had told me I would regret selling my 40 Ford coupe and she was right ... so the Deuce Roadster just sits ...

Maybe one day I will get motivated and repair it. Grundy Insurance paid and I basically have no excuses for no fixing it except laziness.

 

Rejoined when the board was updated in April of 2001. I was driving the old truck then and I am still driving it today. It has been down many roads and down the strip many times since then. The years have not been good to it, but it is still fun. I have owned and driven a lot of other hot rods since then but the truck remains. It is next in line to be torn down and fixed correctly, but I do not think that will happen soon.

Still have what I had then and have ac***ulated more.

Sad thing is that one of the cars was a project back then and still is. Has come along some though. I have found much help on the Merc here at the HAMB.
