Looking Good Tim! 

Whats your chassis rated for?  Is it mild steel or Moly? When did you decide to add the Coupe Body?

Exuse me for all the questions, I haven't been on the HAMB for along time and just found this sight.

Thanks, Gary

[Tim Jones]

Thanks Gary  the chassis is Mild steel, Rated for what ever nostaliga meet will let it run, tho it will pass tech at most tracks ,buildt it just to have some fun again not worried about running every weekend, started out after not running a car of my own for 30 years just wanting to do an old 50' 60's type car but added the better cage and so on as I went, still have a couple bars by my legs I going to add, My kids want this thing built like a tank There mom told them about me crashing one of the old cars, So I guess they worry about the old man, changed to the comp coupe deal last fall always liked the look of them,,  Don't have alot of spare money to throw at this thing like the old days, but that's OK if I can make it myself I don't buy it, alot more fun to do anyway,,,,,Tim Jones

 Hit kind of a snag, the other day I was running the motor for my brother, at first I thought it got a headgasket, but after pulling the head I found that one of the sleeves in this motor had cracked right near the top, SO because I'll have to fix the block anyway, I'm going to prep both blocks I have for the blower set up, I mocked up what I have While the engine is in the car to run the fuel lines and what not, Being I'm at a stand still money wise, I started working on my 47 ford cab that I'm going to swap on my ramp truck,, Tim Jones

If only I had your energy!

[Tim Jones]

If only I had your energy!

   HA HA ,, I have more energy than money, It helps that I live by myself in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of dogs,,,,  My dad always told me and my brother , If you want some get off your butt and make it happen nobodys gonna do it for ya,, Probally why I would rather build it than buy it,,, Tim Jones
