A few Sydney guys are into their HAMBster builds. I'm starting to document the project to herald the onslaught on Aussie Drga Racing fans... I think QQMOON is the only one of the builders on here? 1st episode... Gathering bits and seeing what is servicable. Test firing engines on the floor! Surely that isn't Ezio forgoing a bowtie for a blue oval? Both Ezio and Nick's engines proved to be runners (even if Nick's required half a dozen fingers covering manifold leaks) Joe's engine will need a bit more work...
2nd episode... When 4 became 5! Here's the second installment in the Sydney HAMBster build up. With Joe Formossa wheeling out an old chassis there are now 5 HAMBsters on the go. Four will be running on fully fabricated frames. I'll let the pics do the talking.... (click the thumbnails to enlarge)
You guys gonna joint venture the rental of a container and ship them over for the HAMB drags or just use long snorkels and drive them over? Seriously, great to see the HA/GR movement going international! Ted
Nick demonstrating the fine art of the Squint Safety Goggle......... That made me sorta' chuckle, since we have all done that. Congrats on the build and and photo's. Now you guys just need to "YouTube" the first fire. Chris Nelson Kansas
What class will they run in over here??? I have an A40 gasser project in the real early stages, kinda stalled due to s distinct lack of $$ damn evil things that seem to find there own way out of my walet without letting me know.
Squint needs to do a product recall!!!! I had to go to an eye surgeon a few weeks back to get a piece out of an eye. Damn squints don't work!
Another HAMBster update. (click the small images to enlarge) It doesn't look like much has been done (other than emptying Jim Beam cans) but all the rails have been stitched together and the front and rear ends are nearing final mounting.
Adapting the top loader for the early flathead. The concession on non-period diffs is appreciated... Can you see a possible pitch for sponsorship throughout this series?
rollin' rollin' rollin' get them hambsters rollin' HAMB on! Well the guys have made some impact now. Axles and diffs in place, even a couple of wheels on. Three will roll out to make room for another two to get rolling in the next couple of weeks. Of course, Mr Beam's finest yet again makes an appearance.
Love the shot of the 3 lined up assembly line fashion! Is that at the Aussie division of Ford Performance Racing? Ted H
