Missing thread

Where's my Willys truck thread ?

Maybe got deleted cause you were building a mud truck vs a hot rod?

 

Hmmmm........ maybe after I get the lime green candy pearl and plum crazy paint job on it. My wife has a 40 year sentimental attachment to that particular truck or I never would've tackled it, it was really far gone.

Far be it from me to tell you what all to post on here but, me thinks you may be testing the patience of the moderators.

 

I really don't see how, they're allowing corvettes ( musclecar) Fiat Topolinos ( import) clones of drag racers, I've even seen a slingshot rail and an army halftrack for crying out loud!

Just sayin"

 

Check out the rules. The moderators enforce them. Your thread must have strayed too far from what's allowed here.

Its a traditional hot rod and customs site. I like lots of different vehicles and there are a numerous sites to check out my interest. I like that the h.a.m.b. is diligent to keep it focused.

 

Ok, after a half hours search I found an alert that they deleted my post. I'm on the H.A.M.B. app., I had to go to Safari and google this forum to find it. The moderators didn't like my post. Other people liked it so I guess the mods don't like them either.

Lots of us like lots of things that are not appropriate for this forum. That does NOT make them appropriate for this forum.

 

I dont think you know what a traditional car or truck is. Yes anglias and topolinos are traditional built in the correct way.

 

I wouldn't take it personal. It isn't because the moderators don't like you or certain people in general.

 

I'll just keep mum about what parts I use

Hey, I pushed the envelop once, the post was pulled off the main page, and moved to a special forum.
No harm no foul, I understood.

 

Bruce
You will find your sweet spot here in time, just hold on and enjoy the ride.
I follow a fair number of threads and don't recall enough of them dissapearing to consider the mods to be heavy handed (my words).
You know there's a saying in drag racing:
"If you don't redlight once in a while your not trying hard enough".

 

Exactly. You have to spend some time and actually read a lot of threads here to understand how all of these guys relate, communicate and such. Only once you understand all of this can you push their buttons safely to get them riled up without getting threads deleted, or get E-bludgeoned too badly.

Watch, these are just examples:

Safe, guaranteed to get a rise out:

I really dig '32 Fords, but I'm pretty sure their values are dropping right now.


Safe, guaranteed to get a rise out:

I think 4 doors cars are just as cool as 2 door cars.


Safe, guaranteed to get a rise out:

I think radials look great on fender-less Roadsters.




Not safe, thread will get deleted:

Hey, what &&@** deleted my post. Panzy, pinko.



Not safe: thread will get deleted:

I just junked the 21 stud flathead that was in the deuce coupe I bought from someone here on the Hamb. I want to install a new Viper motor and 8 speed flipper controlled automatic transmission, any advice?


It's all in the subtlety.

 

I stuck around, I love this forum. Period. My point is that it seems to be selectively hypocritical, a duece coupe with a 350 chev motor is acceptable even though the 350 didn't exist in the timeframe that's being emulated here, on the other hand a deuce with a 69 OHC Mercedes v-8 would probably get booted. I've been outside the box since the day I was born, ( no pun intended), had I been born 50 years sooner the traditionalists would probably be copying me, I coulda been the guy that stuck a cad/lasalle trans onto a flathead ford, who knows ? People here are building cars with aftermarket parts that are reproductions of cars built before the aftermarket existed. Am I making any sense to anyone???

yes you are making sence ...
but this SITE belongs to
the guy MAKING THE RULES
so
as much as I/you/WE want to talk about our VIEWPOINT
it just aninagoinahappen....
some things
like
my 1963 283 engine is ok to talk about , just don't talk about it, in your
1967 z-28 DRAG car...lol

 

Bruce,
I'm not saying you're wrong, but this isn't a public democratic forum. When it comes to this stuff everybody has an opinion, but the one opinion that counts is the guy who owns the forum. Hypocrisy? Perhaps, considering all the T5 transmission and airbag threads, etc., but I think it's the look and flavor that count most. If your car doesn't look the part, then maybe there's a forum on the net more suited to your car's taste. As for myself, I like a wide variety of automotive types, so I visit a wide variety of automotive sites.....

 

i like your way of thinking...(purdyKQQL)...lol

 

iwana b a MOD i wana be a mod i wanabaMOD
did isay'
iwannabeamod...
j/k
there's never much love for those guys who keep us
rebels in line.

 

Yep, lots of people liked the hotrod truck , ( except the wheels & mud flaps ) , but I know it would get booted if you could see under the skin !

I'll volunteer to be the "SuperModerator". You guys are in deep &&@^%, because I really dig doughnuts, punk rock and Sci Fi movies.....

 

OK your a "SUPERMOD" i nominate you
do we hear a second...?

 

Still reading? Then you must be cut out for this, right? We recommend you read some more. Check out all the forums, develop an understanding for how things work around here, learn the "do's"; and "dont's"; The key to a happy HAMB newbie is to understand the joint BEFORE you begin posting.


So many people join here without reading the rules, while all or them are important, the one above will go along way in helping newbies.

 

Oh bruce
NO rat rods and NO BIG WHEELS ...
your picture WILL be zapped, eliminated, or REMOVED
even if the BIGwheel pic is in the BACKGROUND...LOL

 

And do not back sas , cut down, mouth off, or in GENERAL
don't be MEAN, to someone, as there ARE tight GROUPS Out here,
and a lot of us actually KNOW or chat privately with each other.

 

This place can be as hard or as easy as you make it. Why a 350? Because most of them are "dressed" right and can't be told from a 283 or 327. You'll find the occasional BBC here n there too. Slingshot dragsters? To me that's a front engine dragster (AKA FED). Nothing that's ever gone down a drag strip has as much history and tradition as a FED, and they were still "En Vogue" through 1969. Like obscenity vs porn, you know it when you see it. Contrary to some hard-ass impatient types it's not all about black Deuce hiboys or chopped 49-51 Mercs. Vettes? You bet yer ass a few of those get in here, especially the drag racers from "the day" and even road race varieties from the heydays of track racing. You'll find 7 figure American classics in restored condition now and then (you're welcome folks) and it's because they provide inspiration or are just simply the coolest of their day. So you see, as hard or as easy as you wish. An open mind doesn't mean a total rule breaker. I'm not the boss, the owner, not on a board of directors, not a moderator. If I were I'd push for a later year "cut off" because "we" kept this shit up for longer than the board allows, yet at the same time the danger is board full of Camaros, Mustangs, Road Runners and their ilk. Not the focus here and there's hundreds of sites dedicated to them. It works. Enjoy what's here, participate if you can, best of all take in as much of this as you can because without it very few would embrace this shit. I find it well worth embracing, maybe you will too.

 

Small block Chevy has been around since 1955. Like it or not, it is a traditional engine.
