Greetings! I just recently found the HAMB and was very impressed with the info and knowledge here. Not to mention a good overall attitude among members. I'm relatively new to building and restoring cars. My first real,albeit,low budget build was a 64 Barracuda for a friend last year. Sadly it is not quite finished and it looks like I may not be able to continue working on it. At the moment though,I am doing a resto/mod on my old 73 Valiant for my son and will be driving down to TN this weekend to pick up a 65 Valiant 2 door post that I recently purchased.On top of that I am in the process of acquiring an old International pick-up from my neighbor to make a cool old style rat out of. Anyone know what year this truck is? I haven't been able to find a tag on it yet. Looking forward to a busy year and I'm sure I'm going to need some help on these ambitious builds.Thanks for having me!
Welcome aboard from Australia. also i wouldn't use the term rat(rat rod) if i were you people tend to get quite upset, try hot rod instead.
Thanks for the welcome guys. Sorry about the "R" word. I never will be able to keep all of this hipster nomenclature straight. All I know is,I love my old cars,love working on them and driving them and every time I learn something new,whether it be a hands on experience or info from one helpful people on the forums I belong to,it makes me enjoy my cars even more.If I make a misstep now and again or ask a stupid question I guess that's part of it.We all have to start somewhere. Thanks again,Dan
Glad to have you on the Hamb. Don't worry about using any bad words, the bark is worse than the bite.............
