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

Cool thread, and yes......

 

Great thread - yes still the same coupe. Had it for 14 years now.

 

I bought the '29 business coupe right after joining the Hamb in '07. Finally got it driving after all this time. Over 30 cars and trucks have come and gone, but this one has stayed somehow.

First pic is day one, second one is a week or two ago.

 

I was building my T Bucket when I joined in '06. Then 3 months later a cop car hit it.



How she looks today.

 

Ethanol ate the needle and seat in the carb. Carb flooded over and started the fire.

Here is a old thread ( March 2012 ) about the fire ...

Tfever Fred, I love your T, followed it from the start and when that damn cop hit it. I love that you built such a great car on such a budget.


Thats it parked next to my little sisters Falcon (Not happy with the new wheels though!!)

The car I had when I joined the HAMB was my 38 Club Coupe, I'm not that sad it is
no longer mine. I gave it to my father, the greatest father anyone could hope to have. Left me with my 28 RPU, that I did have to sell (**** VA) so I'm am a loudmouth without a car right now.

Doc.

 

Most of them.My join date says 11-25-2001 but I was on here before then;something about a screwup and having to start the listing all over again.On that date I was still undergoing radiation treatments 5 days a week for throat and lymph node cancer.Guess it worked cause I'm still talking about it.
My 55 Safari came to me in February of 1994 and is still putting along(got a new water pump yesterday)after 170,000 plus miles;a bit lighter due to the rusty rocker panels and still in need of a tuneup(just found the parts in my shop the other day).
My 1994 25th Anniversary Trans Am that I bought new in July of 94 is now my official shop truck and still has the original brake pads after 80,000 miles.
My 57 Safari came to me in 1996 or 97 and is still sitting in the center stall of my shop on jackstands.That will hopefully be addressed this winter.
My GMC Syclone pickup purchased in November of 1996 has found a new home in Tennessee(good riddance!).
My wife's 1972 Thunderbird(70k AZ car)was a latecomer;arriving in 2003 and has had about 500 miles put on it since then.Long story and not one I like to relate.
Still would like a flathead powered Deuce highboy but don't see that happening unless a rich relative(I don't have any)dies or I hit the lottery(which I don't and never have played).

 

Thanks, Doc.

 

No worries mate, have to mention your Avatar too........Best on the HAMB!!

Doc.

 

i joined in 09' right before i got my 50' chevy.. still have it, slowly putting it back together with a 350/350. it was totally stock when i drove it home. this picture is from the day i got it...

 

Nope! Had a 30 Ford P/U and a 64 Ranchero. Personally I wish I still had the 30.

 

Interesting thread, great cars as usual !

No, i'm on my second effort, mine wern't too hamb friendly . Still learning, still changing stuff, and inspired by Hotrodprimer's pickup, i'm getting there... i think

 

You are certainly getting there,,nice looking truck! HRP

 

Joined 10-13-02 and still have the '32 and the '49. Since then Ive added the '57 Chevy and a couple long term projects that Im making very slow progress on...

 

Still got mine. First 2 is the day I brought it home and the last 2 when we were getting close to being back on the road.

48 Poncho

 

Forgot my first login name...so got a new name when this followed me home...

Here she is today...

Think there's about 40K on it since i got her...love this car...it will never leave me

 

Yes we still have our willys coupe even though it was just a project back then.

 

Still have it, still working on it.

wish I did it was not much to look at but it was in my sole and still is..

.

trying to sell this (which I sold the wagon for to get) to get another one like it

 

Nope , sold/trade my 47 Ford more door, for my 49 Ford 2dr coupe, trade and $$$ my 49 to get a sweet 35 Ford 5w Coupe... 55 F100 is gone... added my *****in 62 Bonnville Safari wagon.... The 35 is a keeper as is my 62.. done for now ! ya right LOL

 

Ken,I guess you know that Randy convinced me to join the Hamb but your wagon got my juices pumping and inspired me to build our old Ranch Wagon.



I do wish you luck in finding a suitable replacement. HRP

 

The '30 Roadster body I found in 1962, and the Lyndwood rail remains were found in 1989 I'll have them forever I hope. The '37 Harley project is gone, and a '32 Vicky body came and went. No rush to finish them, I've got a Granson to leave them to, he can fingure out how to wire them. Bob http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1191487&d=1293673265

 

Yep, got my 47 chevy in 73 and joined the HAMB in 06.

 

Had a muscle car...
Found the HAMB...
Decided Hot Rods look like way more fun...
Got a 32 Roadster...
Got wet too much
Got a 32 Coupe...Better
Got chronic vertigo...Didn't mix well with traditional suspension
Got a 46 Ford...Not my Favorite
Got a 54 Pontiac...Love driving it & easy on the vertigo
I'm a happy guy thanks to the HAMB!

 

That would be me.
