Hey all... New Member here

Hey all,

I just found this forum board recently and already learning lots of info. My name is Brent and I am a hotrodder of the nostalgia kind. I drive a suede purple 53 Canadian Pontiac with a flake purple roof, oh yeah, forgot to mention, I am from Canada. Anyhow I am looking forward to gettin to know all you guys out there.

Welcome Brent! Please show some pix, whenever you can.Some here can't read, they only can look at the pictures Sparky

 

Welcome! Purple Suede rules! My daily:

 

Welcome, to the HAMB!

 

For all you guys wantin to see a pic, here ya go. Here is a couple shots of me tryin to warm up a winter night up here in Canada with my 53 Pontiac Sled. Also, for all curious, its powered by a 67 Pontiac OHC 230 inline, with true duals, glass packs and flamethrowers.

 

Welcome from one CruZer to another. That's a pretty unique way to get snow off of the roads!!!

 

Flamethrowers! How dangerous! I must report you to the proper authorities. Seriously,kick-ass ride,how are yoy getting such big flames? Sparky

 

welcome and schweet ride!

 

An OHC6? Bitchin! I bought a '66 Tempest 230 years ago with thoughts of putting it in my '51, but went the 235 Chevy route instead. How do you like the engine? Any tips? After I finish the Chevy I plan to build some sort of rod using the OHC.

 

hi nice ride what part of canada are you from

 

Hey Sparky,

Creating big flame was shown to me by a fellow out of Minnesota. I am using the typical flamethrower kit that you can buy from Hotrods Of Norco, and i run a 600cfm Edelbrock as my 230 is no slouch, well mix that combo with a manual choke and presto big fire. Get the pipes hot first, play around and find the sweet spot with the choke where its rich but will stay running, and have fun... or yank it out all the way, but push it back when you flip your swicth off as it will stall rapidly if you dont.

 

Hey Rustymetal,

I am located in Saskatchewan, where its frikkin cold now.. oh well, gives me a chance to get going on my 28 sedan project.

 

Hey Jeff51

I love my OHC. I have been running it in the 53 now for 10 years. No problems with the motor except for parts being scarce for them. I have a few of these motors and am currently building a 28 A sedan nostalgia rod and plannin on power coming from another OHC as well. Long live the Inline 6. The OHC is a real good motor, produces great power and torque and still gets good mileage.

 

Welcome to the HAMB Brent. I like the color combo on your ride , a little different than most.

 

Thanks Brent! I'll use that good advise,when 'Throwing' BTW there is a guy in our club,that has a '39 Pontiac,with a Pont.OHC 6. Pics on www.theoriginalpoorboys.com. Tn chapter, Kelly. Sparky PoorBoysCC,TN

 

I will post a better daylight pic of it so you can see the color much better a lil later on today.

 

any pics of your sedan project?
I just picked up a 28 as well.
Seen you car at the Eliminators show earlier this year, looks good, the flake roof is sweet.

 

Lots of Canadians coming on board, it's an invasion, like 1812 all over again...

Welcome.

 

Welcome !! Nice ride !!!
