Finally joined the H.A.M.B.

Always did like the HAMB and have referenced it MANY times. Finally got signed up to share my next project. Got a few pics in my gallery. Right now I'm going to be restoring or setting up a rat-rod 1956 Mercury Monterey. Not sure yet.



I am looking forward to learning from others and possibly going to do a roof chop for the first time.

 

Pity you didn't notice the "NO Rat Rods" theme when you were referencing the HAMB MANY times.
That would make a cool cruiser without destroying it to rat rod it ..

 

Ohhhhhh, yes! How 'bout a retro welcome from the HAMBland gang circa 2002? Or do we Nancy Boy ya? Rat Rod? Meet Ben. Last name Dover.

 

Welcome from So Cal. Forget the RR word and enjoy your new car. Come on by the 52-59 Ford group for any help you need on Ford products.

Tie him to the car...and drag him. Seriously, a bit of friendly advice...don't ever say those words here. We don't take kindly to it. Welcome to the H.A.M.B.

 

Thanks for the warm welcomes guys I'm aware that the HAMB has a strong aversion to rat rods and people who just go crazy chopping up old cars. That's why I decided to join. I'd like to restore the car but only have experience in building rat projects. I'm sure I'll still find some useful, if not friendly, advice along the life of this build.

 

Welcome from Oregon! call it what you want. just dont build a POS using a good platform like that. a waste. a well built budget hot rod or custom is another thing

 

Would be a bad *** cruiser welcome from Ga

 

Welcome for So Cal.

 

Rat rods ****! Nuff said....I'm sick of the Maltese cross, spiderweb, tractor grill, wrench door handle, mountain dew overflow tank, no floors, rusted out POS cruising down the road endangering our hobby. Yes, my opinion and you don't have to like it.

 

Welcome ! I did my first chop 2 inches and actual streched my cab 8 inches this past summer its a 47 ford Pickup learning alot on here the guys are great with advice. Anyways the chop isnt that hard just take your time and plan it out oh ya measure three or four times and then go back once more! good luck

 

Welcome from Indy. Non rat lover here. Do love old Mercs though!
