cobraman Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Those fenders look a lot like the helmet from the Rocketeer movie.
southpier Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 hah; you need to be in front of the screen 24/ 7 to even keep up with the Hambers.
Earl Marischal Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Those fenders look a lot like the helmet from the Rocketeer movie. That was my first thought too. steve
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 It's another Citroen 2CV...was on my Frog Rod thread until the big data loss awhile back...
oldnslow Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Is that a trailer hitch mounted on the rear of the roof?
Jantrix Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 People still post on The HAMB? Well modelers don't. Us plastic mechanics don't get much respect there.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Well modelers don't. Us plastic mechanics don't get much respect there. They had a section just for models for a while. Is it gone? There was some really nice stuff. Of course, no rats, late-models etc. Just the kind of stuff the HAMB is about...kinda like TRAK.
blunc Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Is that a trailer hitch mounted on the rear of the roof? looks like a gas cap to me.
southpier Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Well modelers don't. Us plastic mechanics don't get much respect there. respect is earned. there's some good stuff there but it takes some poking around. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/lets-see-your-vintage-model-cars.965084/ just like anything worthwhile. as a reference, i think it's second to none.
unclescott58 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Remember the old Flash Gordon movies? From the rear, I'm sure that car was built by someone from Mongo. Scott
Rob Hall Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 IIRC that was posted here a couple years ago...wild design.
Chuck Most Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Well modelers don't. Us plastic mechanics don't get much respect there. Well.. not getting respect on the HAMB isn't a big deal when you consider the average diehard HAMB member. "I built my car the exact same way they did 60 years ago." Yeah, because sixty years ago guys were buying "period correct" parts on ebay and craigslist (or hopping into time machines to get things that didn't even exist then, like Vega steering boxes and single-wire 12-volt alternators), assembling them in fully-equipped home shops with hoists, digital readout TIG welders, and plasma cutters, and then posting their progress pics on the internet for all to see. Yep, exactly the same. And don't even get me started on that worn-out, idiotic "build not bought" crapola that a disproportionately high number of them like to spout...
