I'm even astonished.. been here now a little over 20 years.... seen the Highs, and the lows.. Met some fantastic People... Made some incredible friendships.... Lost some good friendships.... and tragically Lost some really good friends. Learned a bunch and watched incredible talent on this board.... Made friends with folks I have never met... and still haven't met.... Seen some very exciting stuff.... and some heart wrenching things..... So many Original folks either have left or never post.... but.. life always is changing. It is still a great community. It ain't like the 50's though Bro.........Except Mr Bones... he is always here.....
You, and others like you, are what makes this a welcoming site for all to enjoy. Sharing your art, knowledge, and construction photos and methods makes it fun to be here. Best wishes for the next 20.
Congrats Jeff! Oh, and hoping to actually meet you in person at some point. I appreciate everything you post whether art or projects. Feels like I sort of know you even without meeting you...which is also sort of weird? Lol
Really enjoy your art n other notes Jeff. I enjoy the HAMB, I was on n old site,,RuffRodder's < now long gone,, ,all fun contact points,an lot of great interesting car builders n art nuts,like my self " The Bat" out of hell" from long ago, my,art name,,=Thanks to each an every one. Before I was shown the HAMB,an joined in 2006. I just looked in from time to time. Now on starting my 81st trip around the sun in a short time,see a lot come an go,all but one* of my old car clubs from the 1950 n 60s is gone,but good to remember the guys in them. Thanks for reading any of my "Way back Story" notes, I've put on the HAMB from time to time,the feed back is always amazing..
Congrats! I see your art and articles in the old Rod & Custom magazines and think to myself "I can't believe we chat with guys like you every day". Glad you're here and relate with us "unknowns."
…time flies…or as the Old Frog said, “time’s fun when you’re having flies”. Seriously, I always enjoy your art and contributions.
This board wouldn't be the same without you @Jeff Norwell. Your post prompted me to look at when I joined. In three weeks my account can legally drink. Good grief, we're getting old.
Damn glad that you're on here my friend. It's been a pleasure knowing ya so far! Hope to see you again in person sometime, it's been too long.
Chocolate, with vanilla ice cream and Molson's. I've enjoyed your work for the 6 years I've been here, keep it up.
Geez Jeff. It’s been 20 years since you joined here…. That’s incredible. I’m only two years behind you. So much has changed, yet so much is still the same. The H.A.M.B. is an absolute gem. An incredible community full of talent and bravado, and just enough rough edges to keep us on our toes. I hope things are well for you and yours.
Here's a couple from 3/4's of that 20 yrs ago, you were pretty fly for a white guy lol Is that show/swap still going on ?
