I'm Josh and I'm from Belleville, illinois. I'm just getting back to rods after a 15 year Journey in the world of Jeeps. I have a 1939 Ford Deluxe coupe that's completely original and sitting in the barn with 21 years of dust on it since I bought it. I ventured into Jeeps back then because I knew I didn't have the money to build the '39 the way i wanted, and Jeeps I could hack together and no one in my Jeep world was much of a detail freak. Now I still don't have he money to build it right but I have the patience to build on my time. We also have a chopped 32 5W in the barn with 'vette IRS and a smallblock that someday dad will finish. I've been lurking for a month or two and the amount of info on the HAMB is almost overwhelming.
Welcome to the HAMB Josh! I'm from Belleville also and know many others in our area. We could meet up sometime if you'd like. Sounds like you have a great project in the works.
