I just spent the last hour and a half going through the build thread on the HAMB. Great job bringing this beast back to life.

[uppitybunny]

I love this guy.

Thanks for noticing.  I moved the engine back a foot to give the vehicle a more rakish appearance that jammed the steering box into the carb. I had to do away with the extension pipe on the manifold. There will be other compromises I'm sure. Check out the whole build on the H.A.M.B. Giant speedster

[slofireman79]

Very cool.  I thought I would tell you that the carb is backwards.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@slofireman79 would hit hte steering box if it werent

"Shall we go for one more crank-up? Just for the heck of it?"

YES!!!!

That thing sounds like a factory just while idling. Do you have to open a window to vent the garage, or do you just run it a couple of minutes until it pulls a vacuum on the building and sucks a random panel off the wall?

Great stuff Jerry! I'm about 6 months behind you now... just getting ready to attach the hydraulic line to push the siezed pistons out...

[LocomotiveBreth]
