Just join the H.A.M.B. website. With me (Custom Cars) started at a young age. At 9 my cousins boy friend came to my house with a 1958 T-Bird. Purple flake, custom wheels and he laid it in my parents driveway. Hydros. Love at first sight. Next came all the RGCanning shows. All 8 per year in Cailfornia. I was like a magnet, sponge, name it as you may. I was hooked. At 16 I had to learn how to make those cars beautiful, like Barris,Hines,Watson,Jr,Winfield,Pork Chops, etc. Although I met all of these men,I only had the honor of working with Bill Hines & Pork Chops. I trained with a man from N.Y. named Tom Adams. During those 4 years, he show me all the tricks of creating a true custom. I've built many customs throughout the years and have stayed true to the word. I'm so glad to see so many new comers to the custom world. I never have liked the new street rods of today. Go to the store and buy anything you need. "that's bunk". If you need something custom, you can bend it, hammer it, pick it, shape it, or just hunt it down. that's what custom was all about back in the early days. So stay true and continue long after my generation is gone. Computers confuse me, but I do OK. Ask any questions,and I'll get back with the answer, although I don't check e-mail much. Be patient and I'll get back. Good to be on board. Wayne
