Hi ya'll, I thought I'd take a minute to introduce myself. I've been lurking around here off and on for a while now, and decided it was time to take the plunge and sign up. I've been breathing for 23 years now, and I hail from smoggy central California [which means the breathing thing took effort]. As far as cars go, I've got a Dodge Charger that is my daily driver [not exactly traditional stuff, but it was my first car and it's served me well- and suffered plenty of abuse in the process], and a '62 Chevy SB p/u that I hope to get started on soon. I also recently aquired a pair of P-38 315 gal. drop tanks and I'm toying with the concept of cobbling together a bellytanker. I look forward to hanging around and getting better aquainted with the goings on of the H.A.M.B. Hopefully I won't step on too many toes while I'm learning the ropes.
Hello from another Fresno guy, ok Clovis guy...but nobody knows where that is. There are about 10 guys from here on the HAMB.
Welcome! Good to have you aboard. Where in the heck did you find those tanks? Great projects. seeya, Sparky
Nice to know I'm not the only one awake in the middle of the night. I'm actually a Clovis guy, too. I figured it was just easier to put Fresno [since you can pretty much walk between the two without even noticing]. Nice to know there are other guys on here from around these parts. As far as the tanks go, I picked them up from a guy who has cool stuff literally coming out of the woodwork [his '33 Ford is buried under cool stuff]. I'd been asking about the tanks for years and then, last month, he says he's cleaning up the property and if I move 'em , they're mine. I was more than happy to oblige. If I can find the room and the parts, I'd like to get something going with them [and I'm sure I'll have about a million dumb questions for you guys if I do]. So far I've got the tanks and a pair of '39 Ford rims that I plan to use on the rear. That's a start, right?
