new guy story; at Bobleeds dads 60th party, heard about hamb, got home, lurked around hamb, left a post. A coupla days later, went to Bobbleeds, got caught up in the birth of Tucks hot rod. Tuck, Nate, Evel and Bobbleed said it ain't right If I'm a lurker so, here I am and thats my story and I'm sticking to it. I live in the Milwaukee area, got a half done chop top 65 Impala; juiced, frame layin 78 Mark V; shovelhead harley and a bunch of old hot rod and harley parts that will turn into finished somethings, some day. Glad to be on board. PS. I don't want to hear anything fron Wingnutz except "hello"
missed the initial fire up of the hemi, was there for the second fire up. It is a must that life is not complete until you hear, smell and see a 4 carb/log manifold Chrysler hemi light up at night, fire directly out of the exhaust ports, 50 year old carbs*****ing gas out of an outboard motor can and everybody grinnin and cheerin like it went thru the lights at 3.9, 300 mph. It was fun.

thanks to those that welcomed me to HAMB. Still trying to figure out how HAMB works. Gettin it little by little. Great tech source, helpful classifieds, some interesting BS and no trophies. Special thanks to those that put HAMB together and to those that keep it real.

Evel, thanks for the good words. Lookin forward to seein you in October. Took me long time to find my original post, whew !!! There sure is a lot goin on the HAMB. The "cowl story" will have to wait. At my typing speed, I will need an hour just to enter the post, but I will. Tanks, again. FHR HRF
Springer, chop in progress photos, not yet. Progress has stopped, temporarily. Hope to regroup by October. Any suggestions on how or who can cut the windshield to size will be REALLY appreciated.
Jalopy43, another og, ok. Checking the "how old are you" post stats, we aren"t in the minority! Now, don't you og's start jumping for joy and collapse and screw up the stats.
HaHaHaHaHa I'm limiting Wingnutz shop time to 10 minutes a day. HaHaHaHaha Curt you need to come and see the new shoebox. It rules. To the rest of Hambland. OG 001 worked on my green car in High School shop class with my Uncle in 1956. He really knows alot of history and will be a great****et to this place.
frame layin 78 Mark V haha this car is truely a kanadian kustom... it RULED... nate and I were talking about how cool it would be to roll in a old linc etc... and damn. There it was. PIMP TOWN... I wana take that car to a*********** and smoke some lucky strikes with a*******... OG is a RULER. End of story.
10 minutes for Wingnutz?, more than enough time! I'll be out this week to see the shoebox and you know I gotta hear the history of the car and need to find out about the pileup, who's going and when. When I gave your dad the picture, I wanted to tell every body that, before I got to work on the A cowl, I had been corrupted by Rod & Custom, Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines. Working on the A cowl was the first hands on a "hot rod" moment. The feel of the metal and the feel of the body hammer, the pick and file set me on life path that I wouldn't change. YOU AND YOUR DAD KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK. It was unforgettable!! It's 50 years later and I'm telling the story like it was yesterday. Thank you for inviting me to the party. I thank you and your peers for "keeping the faith" and "praise the lowered". Now, I gotta go see what our favorite Canuck has to say. HEH,HEH,HEH.
Tuck OK for the strip trip BUT, I gotta drive, you smoke the Luckies and let's see if the******* can do a sixway (up/down/front/back/side to side)if not the Lincoln RULES. she has to be CANADIAN!!! HEH,HEH,HEH.
Awesome to see you here OG, I had a great time hearing all you stories and info you have. You Rule...
