    Hi folks. I have been on the HAMB for several years. I thought I would wander over here to visit for a while. I am a card carrying geezer. Been messing with cars for well over 50 years, so I have some experience to share. My current ride is a 55 Ford sedan, my avitar is over on the Barn under my name, Ole Don. The car has had a home with us since 1996, and others may come and go, but the 55 will stay. Before that we had a 54 Vicky on the road for 11 years. I was the Bonneville Corespondent for the old Rodders Digest. The salt bug bit me hard. I will go back untill I am unable to drive. The 55 will be raced at least one more time in the 130 club at the USFRA meet. That is the most fun a geezer can have. Please feel free to email me anytime with questions about old cars, with something in the subject line about old cars, you will get a response.
    Ole Don

    I'll try the picture thing, but I feel much more at home with a handful of wrenches. I can type with two fingers, but computer talk has words not in my vocabulary.
