    Thanks man. That's just what I needed. With all this imigration debate going on it's nice to read things about the positive contributions that ALL people make.

    Who could ever leave the HAMB? Racing aside, I still love hot rods. But racing has me in it's grips right now. I check in almost every day.

    Good read, although it kills me that they referred to the Chevy Fleetline as a "Fleetwood". Beyond that, good reading, and the '46 Fleetline is especially nice looking.

    I've always heard that the hydraulics in the X-Sonic were originally fitted with a hand powered Porta-Power style pump between the seats. Anyone know for sure?

    The pic of that '63 Wildcat is a club member of ours. They got that pic off of the club site.

    Nice read by the way.

    My neighbor lady called me last night to let me know that the History channel was doing a program about lowriders and customs. So much for getting any work done last night. Cool!:cool:

    Great read! My 9 year-old saw the pic of X-Sonic, and flipped out...he recognized it, and immediately asked if he could read it with me. Not having too much time with him lately, it was a great few minutes, and it really ignited the spark in both my kid and I!! :cool:
