Well now, I intro'ed myself last week and the next day my post was gone, sigh, no one knows me now! I will try again, I be Rick Bivins aka ratrodrick and as the nick name states I like rat rods, traditional, nostalgia, ol'skool or what ever the next guy wants to call'm. I have a 29 Model A speedster/RPU with an 8BA for power in the works and a 160-B for my next project. I live in Madisonville KY and work in the aviation feild as an A&P/Linetech. I would like to hear from fellow ratrodders/Model A nuts so drop me a line here soon. ratrodrick
Welome back. If you REALLY want to survive here STOP using the term rat rod. Simple as that. I doubt you can came your name so we may have to live with that, otherwise, the RR word here is much like dropping the C word in the middle of the annual NOW, (National Organization of Women) sewing bee. Just not a wise thing to do, get it? As I said at the start, welcome back. Vance
And Hello back too ya Junkyard Junky. The post by Vance above a lot less forgiven that yours, thanks. I have been surf'n the HAMB for a while so I decided to jump on in, thanks to Vance I have mixed feelings now so.........I will just hang out for a while longer and test the water some more. ratrodrick
Don't blame Vance, he's just trying to be nice and give a guy a head's up so he won't cry when the weirdo's attack him for dropping the Double R term. Welcome back? Or again? Or hell I dunno, it's time for a nap and my AARP card.
Thanks Brandy. I was just giving him a taste of what would happen if he dropped the RR again. Seriously Rick welcome back. I'm sure you'll have fun here and make some great friends. Vance
I was turned on to the HAMB by a guy at a rod run in Evansville IN. He has a Model A coupe, flat black, red wheels SBC etc. A few others with him had cars of this type. I thought they were so kool (cars & guys) so I started to learn about them insted of the Boyd cars. The more I ask the more I heard "rat rod" I did not know the term on the HAMB was a "know NO" See people, I can learn insted of nit pick some one just because of a name!!! I may stick around a while longer...just to see. BTW I am happy to say I have learned a lot from this sight.....ratrodrick P.S. I will not drop my nick name or ideas, so, if you guys do not like it you can of course drop me. P.S.S. Thanks Vance for the offer to return to the HAMB, it is appreciated(?). I can't spell either. ratrodrick
See, that wasn't so bad, now was it? Just ast well thought out questions after you do a search for what you're asking for and everything will be fine. Again, welcome back. Sounds like you're a quick learner. Vance
A little hazing is all part of the Hamb experience. Hell, you could have called yourself traditionalrodrick and you still would have gotten ****. I think we should just call them hambrods.
