I gotta say that the volumes of information on this forum is mind numbing! I remember when this forum started and I was a member early on. I was more into bike stuff at the time and it was growing like a weed back then! I found it again when I was doing some research on different ways to build my motor last week. On a different forum that was all touring billet barges with dumb horsepower ratings that will probably never be reliable on the street a guy had asked about some vintage race parts he wanted to use for his Pontiac and a guy snarkly referred him here. Gotta say I found the right community for me again. Right off the bat after I posted about my ride and my thoughts about building it I recieved complimentary, encouraging, resourceful and friendly posts. And a couple e-mail offering up some parts at an outstanding price! Thank you for making an old hotrod dreamer feel welcome. This forum reminds me of guys I hung around growing up and a few guys I used to ride with. We all helped each other keep the iron on the road. Selling, lending, sweating over a brothers ride with him. Very cool.
I notice many Off Topic car owners come here for answers. You cant beat Old School. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdz_T7UTc1I
One of the great things about it is that we have running threads of info on certain subjects. Every time someone finds out some new bit of information on a particular subject, it's added to the database. How many times have you Googled something only to have the top headings referring you back to the HAMB? There are a lot of hot rod & custom sub-categories were the HAMB is the definitive source. So, if you have something to add, add it. There's still a lot of unknown history out there.
I will add for sure! As far as the '58? Nope, not on the road. I started a thread about it though. Almost have the motor completely torn down.
I've been on the Hamb a good while and am constantly amazed at the wealth and depth of knowledge available for the asking. Welcome back. HRP
This is the place to ask a question. I don't know on how many other boards I've seen people bein' directed to The HAMB, because "that's the place you'll get an answer if there is one to be had". I never stop being amazed at what you guys know and can help other with.
