Just got these in the mail today for helping out a HAMBer in need. JUNKER here on the HAMB contacted me for some help with shipping an item he purchased from a guy that wouldn't ship to Canada. We had the seller ship the item to me and I in turn shipped it to him. A no brainer. Well he ran in to the same problem again and once again the seller shipped to me, and I relabled the package, filled out a couple of forms, and off to Canada with the box of car parts. No big deal...happy to help. Well to day I get home and there is a package for ME this time, from JUNKER in Canada. Inside I find a check for all the shiping cost and a beautiful pair of what looks to be 50 Pontiac tail lites as a gift. I was floored! . All I have to say is the HAMB is more than a place to share traditional hodrodding and other hotrod related topics for the most part . I'm finding that the HAMB Has been people actually helping people online and off. And metting people from all over with common interest. This is much more than just a message board. It's a hotrod community and I'm happy to be part of it. Oh yeah, here's the tailites. I hope to use them on a future project.
I too can only sing the praises of HAMBERS. I emailed a HAMBER - Rocky Mountain Pits - when he posted that he had some Model A doors on ebay, saying that I'd like to buy them. Well he pulled them out of the auction, pulled the doors of the car, packed them up and sent them to a warehouse where they were to be shipped out to Australia!!! Trent I really appreciate your help mate!!! HotRodLadyCruiser (Denise) has sent me stuff, many people hav emailed me with answers to my questions..... Rudy, you excelled by sending me B'ville photos. I figure you are reaping the benefits of the Good Karma you send out with your acts of generosity for your fellow HAMBERS. viva la HAMB
That's my theory, help a brotha out... Cool move on his part. Agreed, VIVA LA HAMB! Anytime I sell anything here, I send the money to Ryan. He made it possible. Jay
HAMBers RULE!! FAR more than info, tech and stories get exchanged here...it's a brotherhood of rodders!!
Yeah! Brootal saw my shitty rear view mirror in pics i posted here and offered and sent for free his unused brand newe shiney chrome one for my recently painted car...I think about how cool it was to get everytime i look into it... Bloody Awesome... (now i just need to find something of value to return the favour!) MAIKI
here,here!can NEVER say enough about the people on this site and what it represents for this lifestyle...HAMB JAMS!!
Yes 53 Buick is correct. I wasn't sure at first, they KINDA looked like the pontiac ones. They are very cool.
I was just thinking along the same lines. Me and Voodoo went to the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona on friday, and we saw someone on just about every other row that we had either met on the HAMB, or through the process of buying parts/going to swaps. A few years ago, I could just zip through a swapmeet. Now it's like a family reunion! It really is like a brotherhood of like minded people!
Great post. (Why I love the HAMB!) Way to go Junker! (I HATE when "seller" won't ship outside U.S ) Not like "cultural heritage artifacts" (except to US)
Well roadstar the way I see it is if your good to other people no matter what they are in to you will get what you give. You also have a good friendship with a fellow roder. wtg

"What goes around, comes around." PS. It was a REALLY shitty peep mirror.
**STOLEN** On a recent trip to Toronto i parked my 53 buick at the 7/11 to go buy some smokes, i noticed a shifty lookin character in the window of the porn shop next door, when i came out, some bugga had nicked me tail lights. I really am having bad luck with cars, last time i took out my model a, some otha bugga nicked me doors and shiny mirror- where does all this stuff end up???
hehe...yes it was a pile o crap Brootal! Heres where it ended up.... Club Plaque door thing i made up...
Is that faux pa-tee-na or genuine original patina?? Nice work, but you should've made the name a little bigger.
Thats what i found when i hit a white door with a flapper disc..looked cool so i left it...yeah the stencil i used for the white bits was too small..black was then hand painted in... =]
Way to go Junker!! Hey Bad pat..if ya come back to Toronto...stay with me.....Nobody will ever touch your rig with my pal Brutus gaurd'in it.
thanks brush, i paid some leafs fan to look after my car, he said he was the toughtest guy in t.o.- ever seen this bad mofo around??
Seems this post has been hijacked and has taken a turn for the worst. However, I would just like to say that HAMB comradery is a hell of lot better than the petty bitching that seems to plague this place from time to time. Looks to me like you were the reciepient of some good CARma. GET IT! CARma! Thank you...I'll be here all week...try the veal it's fantastic.
Hey Ron, Well I was thinking about putting them on e-bay and then not shipping to anyone in canada ha ha ha just kidding. Believe it or not I have quite a collection of old tail lites and they will fit right in, And some day when I need them I won't have to hunt them down. CARma....yea I like that
