PLEASE, don't put in an "off-topic"/non-HAMB-friendly engine like a LS-#. The 1952-1959 Ford Social Group here is a must-follow/join. Trust me -...
Is it me, an optical illusion, or has the body and frame been stretched between the door and rear fender?
I'll be missing this for only the second time since 1980 (first time was after my father died) as I'm recovering from a near-fatal heart attack...
Sorry to be a smart-aleck, but in all the years you've owned a 56 Ford, you've never heard of the Crown Victoria Association www.thecvaonline.com...
That's a great pic of Bill! After just getting home from a visitation for a true gearhead legend, friend and a helluva guy from my hometown, I...
At least it wasn't playing "Road Fever"...
I'm at a loss for words. We had a great visit walking around the Greenfield swap meet in early September, discussing what's been going on with the...
More like going from Pertronix 1 to Pertronix 3. Or "trying to build a mnemonics device from bear skins and stone knives."
Trying to get my new phone to like the HAMB
I was using my laptop, which runs Windows 10, has access and logged in to the HAMB all the time, to try and change it. I kept getting a window...
Soo, I get a new Android phone and want to get my HAMB working on it. Go to log in and can't remember my old password - I stay logged in all the...

Can't say I've ever seen a center trim panel like that without blank-off plates for the radio and heater controls. I suspect a one-off...

Junk yards like there used to be around here have virtually disappeared or dried up. U-pull-its don't count. While there may be some small ones or...

The 'kits' that are out there really are a mixed bag - some better than others, and most aren't that great to begin with. And virtually all of...
