H.A.M.B.

[gunpilotvet]

Anyone heard of the H.A.M.B. Forum? I discovered it a couple of weeks ago while researching for dirt track racers. The main subject is old time hot rods or jalopies. But the best part is the Art Forum. Different artists post their auto artwork. Subjects are cars, motorcycles, Rat Fink, Flying Eyeballs. The Rat Fink and Von Dutch type flying eyeballs are prolific. here's the link for anyone interested:H.A.M.B.

I'm a member there,I don't post much but I do like to browse to get some ideas for builds.The drag racing thread they got going is huge and lot's of reference material.

George,

I haven't been to the drag racing forum, yet, but yesterday I spent hours going back through the Art Forums. Incredible work. I may get back into drawing cars, something I haven't done since I was in high school. Retired now so I have plenty of time.

If you're into Traditional Rods and Customs HAMB is the place to be. One thing is for sure you will never run out of projects. There are several "Social Groups" that cover specific makes and models of cars and trucks. There's even a Model Car social group on HAMB.

That board is very much worth your time. The Gasser thread alone is amazing- who does a BMW 2002 gasser?

I think this is the link you meant to post:

Have been a member there for awhile. It's the best place to go for traditional 1:1 for sure. They do have some modeling spots, but I think Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale has it all under one roof for modelers into the Traditional styles.

Nothing like a little self promotion there Big Bob!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I have no regrets for the hours I have spent on Traditional Rods and Kustoms in Scale. It's a great place for the free exchange of ideas, tips and tricks.

AMEN, brother.

I have not been there as long as some people, but I spend more time there than any other site on the net. I spend two to three hour in the forum chat room almost every night.

Even if Traditional Rods and Kustoms are not your thing, it is worth a look.

H.A.M.B. is a nice place for research and inspiration, but I find it's members a little abrasive. That is my opinion and I maybe wrong.

Been on there before but never looked at the art section till now THANKS more ideas and building just what i needed! LOL

[Fuel Coupe]

Ive been a member there since the beginning. Probably one of the best spots for traditional hot rods.

just don't call'em rat rods. they'll chastise you over there.

Here's my 1:1

I'll finish it one day...

Hey cats, I just wandered over here from the H.A.M.B.

This is my first post on the Forum, and am glad I found this site!

I am looking around for some pics of a Track Roadster Model.

I am wanting to build one for the street, and thought I better build a model first.

Its a 27 T with a Watson Roadster nose.

The H.A.M.B. has a great thread on Vintage Sprint Cars, great photos and history.

I wish I could take credit for the drawing, but I got it off the H.A.M.B. Art Forum. Can't remember who drew it, but it's my next project. Actually I've already started by putting a "V-shape" to a '32 Ford grill. It'll have to keep now until my midget racer is done.
