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.

SAFETY WARNING
For gods sake guys, DO NOT drink from the can in the last phota!!!!! It's going to be full of iron fileings and swath and if you drink from it it 's gunna tear you a new #@*$hole for sure. Looking good guys, but you sure are making me look bad, been working on the "Steel Rack" for the last four years and haven't achieved nay where near as much as you guys in such a short time. Best I get off this and out into the back yard (NO shed in this new place :cry: ) and do something with some of the bits.

That's less than the fuel bill for your coupe for a weekend :wink:

And it should be a tad more reliable to boot :roll:

Gidday blokes and others.... I'm new to this Hambsters stuff, what dialect is recommended. Love the cars in the build, whats these rules? Built a jalopy Steel T bucket with zoomied Y block, nearly finished finally, used parts from behind the shed etc, amazing what we've hoarded for rainy days, am moving house and have some spares like early slicks on rims from the 60's, cusso 15x5 rims, early F100 juice brakes, maybe some round early stubs, a complete cusso diff with old time artwork on it and more stuff raises its head with every shelf cleared of cobwebs. If interested PM me. Even got a 56 F100 column and steering box......

You will note that there are minimal photo's of 'people'......tracky pants are a 'good' thing during winter...
